Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service New York NY
354 AM EST Mon Dec 8 2025

.SYNOPSIS...
Following a cold frontal passage early this morning, associated
low pressure will deepen while tracking up into the Canadian
Maritimes today. High pressure will then build in from the west
into Tuesday. The high weakens and shifts offshore as a weak
clipper low passes to the north Tuesday night. A much stronger low
will approach on Wednesday, passing to the north Wednesday night
into Thursday and sending a cold front through the area.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Key Points:

* A quick shot of cold air to settle across the area today into
  tonight, leading to subfreezing daytime highs and wind chills
  in the single digits and teens at times.

Low pressure will lift northeast up into the Canadian Maritimes
today, while high pressure builds in from the west. Strong cold
advection this morning will be accompanied by NW-N winds gusting
up to 30 mph, with winds diminishing late this morning into this
afternoon. High pressure then builds into the area tonight with
clearing skies and diminishing winds.

Highs have already been reached today as temperatures will drop
into the 20s for most locations by daybreak, possibly a bit
colder across the interior. Highs are then expected to get no
higher than the mid to upper 20s this afternoon. Deviated from
the NBM for lows tonight and weighted in some MOS, which can
have a better handle with strong radiational cooling. The one
limiting factor could be a veil of high clouds that moves into
the area today. How quickly these clouds lift out of the area
tonight will be critical to the low temperature forecast. Right
now, expect lows to range from the single digits inland, to the
teens along the coast. Record lows are unlikely.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
Key Points:

* Gradual warmup Tuesday into Wednesday, with highs likely in
  the 40s on Wednesday.

* Multiple clipper systems impact the area Tuesday night through
  Wednesday night with mainly light precipitation events. Best
  chance for some wintry weather will be northwest of NYC on
  Wednesday, but even these locations will likely go over to all
  rain. Minor accumulation possible inland.

A progressive upper flow will continue to send clipper systems
from western Canada SE across the country and into the area
during this time. The first system will be the weaker of the two
with a low chance for light rain and/or snow Tuesday night,
mainly across eastern areas. Temperatures will be at or above
freezing at the coast Tuesday night and likely rising with a
southerly flow. Not expecting any snow accumulation outside of a
dusting. Southerly winds Tuesday night will be gusty along the
coast (20-25 mph).

A more robust low pressure system tracking across the Midwest
Tuesday night and across the Lower Great Lakes on Wednesday
will send warm advection precipitation into the area. Locations
north and west of the NYC will likely start off as snow or a
rain/snow mix, especially up into Orange and Putnam counties in
NY and western Passaic in NJ. However, with the more amplified
system, enough warm air is likely to advect into the interior
with a changeover to all rain likely in the afternoon. Liquid
equivalent amounts at this time are only expected to be up to an
tenth of an inch or so, possibly bit more across the interior.
With highs getting into the 40s, any accumulation at this time
looks to be minor. Low pressure passes to the north Wednesday
night, sending a cold front across the area. Conditions will dry
out with lows returning to normal levels. In addition, SW winds
on Wednesday will gusts up to 30 mph (highest at the coast),
before becoming westerly and diminishing some overnight.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
NBM was followed.

Key Points:

* Temperatures below normal and trending downward through the
  weekend.

* Another clipper low drags a cold front through the area Friday
  night with a chance of snow, possibly mixed with rain at the
  coast. This does not look like a significant winter weather
  event at this time.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
A strong cold front has moved across the region. High pressure
will build in from the west today and over the terminals tonight.

VFR conditions expected. .

NW to NNW with gusts 20-25 kt. Gusts may be more occasional
through 11z or so, then become more frequent toward sunrise and
the AM push. During the day a few gusts may peak near 30 kt.
Northerly winds begin to diminish early Monday afternoon, with
gusts ending, as high pressure builds in from the west.

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

Gusts may be more occasional, or even later, toward sunrise,
than forecast.

.OUTLOOK FOR 06Z TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...

Late Monday night: VFR.

Tuesday: VFR. SW gusts 15-20 kt late afternoon/evening.

Wednesday: MVFR or lower possible with a chance of rain/snow across
interior Lower Hudson Valley early. Then a chance of rain during the
afternoon and into the evening. S-SW gusts 20-25 kt possible.

Thursday: VFR. W gusts 20-25 kt.

Friday: Mainly VFR. MVFR possible in any rain or snow showers. W
gusts 15-20 kt.

.MARINE...
Cold advection and gusty NNW winds will bring SCA conditions to
all waters to start, but then diminishing this afternoon. Sub-
SCA conditions are expected on the non-ocean waters by early to
mid afternoon and the ocean by early evening. High pressure
builds across the waters tonight into Tuesday morning. A series
of clipper systems will then impact the waters Tuesday night
through Thursday with gales possible on the ocean waters Wednesday
into Wednesday night and SCA elsewhere. There could even be a
short period of gales on the ocean Tuesday evening. Friday
should then feature sub- advisory conditions on all waters, but
there is still a chance of 25kt gusts on the ocean.
