Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service New York NY
1052 AM EDT Sun Jun 9 2024

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front moves through on Sunday followed by a secondary
weak cold front on Monday. An upper level low pivots through
Tuesday, followed by high pressure for the middle of the week. A
cold front approaches Friday and moves through Friday night.
High pressure builds to begin next weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Adjusted temperatures and PoPs to reflect the latest
observations and radar returns as showers move through the area.

A cold front is moving through the area with widespread shower
activity ahead of it. THis shower activity should remain light
and progress quickly east, ending into the early afternoon. SW
gusts remain possible 20-30 mph through the afternoon as the
cold front makes its way through the area.

Mostly dry conditions are expected behind the front with a WNW wind
lowering dewpoints and clearing cloud cover. However, one last bit
of upper-level energy around the base of the trough could lead to an
additional round of isolated showers in the late evening today,
mainly for the northern interior areas of the CWA. We`ll continue to
dry and clear and into Sunday night with cold air advection aloft at
850 mb.

Highs will be in the middle to upper 70s, possibly near 80 for
the NYC metro. Lows in the mid 50s to low 60s are expected
tonight.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
An upper trough continues to deepen over the northeast as surface
high pressure noses in from the west. Dry conditions remain in place
on Monday with mostly sunny conditions. It will feel much nicer
outside with high temperatures in the 70s close to seasonal averages
and dewpoints 10 degrees lower than Sunday in the afternoon.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Suppressed heights are anticipated with an upper level low pivoting
through to begin the period on Tuesday. Heights then recover into
mid week with more of a quasi-zonal long wave pattern for much of
the week. A weakness then likely develops in the 500 mb long wave
pattern Friday into Saturday.

A mainly dry period is expected. The only chances for any shower
activity will come Tuesday with the upper level low feature, then
late in the week towards late Friday and Friday night with the
arrival of a cold front. With warmer temperatures and likely more
instability, there will be a chance of thunderstorms with any shower
activity late week.

Seasonable temperatures are forecast on Tuesday, before some weak
ridging moves in for mid week. Temperatures will get a few degrees
warmer on Wednesday, followed by above normal temperatures Thursday
and Friday. The speed, and thus timing of a cold front late in the
week and any associated clouds brings more uncertainty around
temperatures very late in the period for Friday and Saturday.
Consensus guidance is suggesting that the front arrives later Friday
night, so at this time going with the warmer trend with temperatures
for Friday and Friday night followed by an air mass change to begin
next weekend on Saturday. Stay fairly close to the NBM guidance
through the period.

&&

.AVIATION /15Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
A cold front passes across the terminals late this morning into
early afternoon. A weaker cold front passes through tonight.

VFR through the TAF period. Showers may accompany the cold front.
Conditions may briefly drop to MVFR in the showers, but
ceilings are expected to prevail at 5kft.

S and SW winds this morning quickly shifting back to the W and NW
with the cold front passage. Gusts 20-25 kt are expected late this
morning and into the afternoon, but should begin subsiding in
the evening. Mainly light W and SW winds, closer to 5 kt later
in the evening. W to NW winds return Monday morning.

  NY Metro (KEWR/KLGA/KJFK/KTEB) TAF Uncertainty...

Onset of gusts may be off by 1-2 hours.

OUTLOOK FOR 15Z MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...

Monday-Thursday: VFR expected.

.MARINE...
Wind gusts over all waters may approach 25 kts today, but in
general, expect 25 kt gusts to only be occasional with 3-4 foot
waves. Conditions are expected to remain below SCA through the
beginning of next week.

Conditions will remain below small craft levels through midweek with
essentially only up to 2 ft ocean seas. The winds become more
southerly into Thursday with marginal small craft conditions
possible on the ocean by Thursday night.

No hydrologic concerns exist through the forecast period.

on Sunday, lowering to low on Monday for western beaches, then
dropping to low on all beaches by Tuesday.
