SOME OF THE STORMS MAY BE SLOW MOVING...WHICH COULD RESULT IN IN
ADDITION...SOME OF THE STORMS MAY BE SLOW MOVING...WHICH COULD ADD
THE POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED FLASH FLOODING.

ANY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL GRADUALLY WEAKEN AS THEY MOVE
INTO A MORE STABLE MARINE ENVIRONMENT IN PLACE ACROSS LONG ISLAND

TONIGHT...WINDS AND SEAS WILL APPROACH SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY LEVELS
AS A COLD FRONT MOVES EAST TOWARD THE AREA. SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL
INCREASE TO 10 TO 15 KNOTS WITH GUSTS TO 20 KNOTS DURING THIS TIME.
ISOLATED WIND GUSTS UP TO 25 KNOTS CAN NOT BE RULED OUT. GUSTY WINDS
ARE ALSO POSSIBLE IN AND AROUND THUNDERSTORMS MAINLY FROM SANDY HOOK
NJ EAST ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS DURING THIS TIME.

WINDS AND SEAS WILL SUBSIDE THURSDAY NIGHT AS HIGH PRESSURE STARTS
TO BUILD INTO THE REGION.

HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE AREA WATERS WILL KEEP SEAS BELOW SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY LEVELS FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY. AN INCREASE IN SOUTHERLY
WINDS WILL HELP BUILD SEAS ON SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THE BEGINNING
OF THE WEEK TO SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY LEVELS...WITH THE APPROACH OF A
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH THURSDAY...1/4 TO 1/2 INCH OF RAIN IS
FORECAST WITH THE APPROACH OF A COLD FRONT. AS THE PRECIPITABLE
WATER CONTENT INCREASES TO AROUND 2 INCHES...BASED ON A SLOW MEAN
FLOW OF AROUND 15 KNOTS...A FEW STORMS MIGHT MOVE ACROSS THE SAME
AREA AND PRODUCE FLASH FLOODING WITH ISOLATED AMOUNTS OF AROUND 1
INCH.

WAVES OF LOW PRESSURE PASSING NEAR THE AREA SUNDAY INTO MONDAY HAVE
THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE SHOWERS AND STORMS CAPABLE OF HEAVY RAIN.
BECAUSE SIGNIFICANT UNCERTAINTY STILL EXISTS WITH THE TIMING AND
AMOUNTS...THIS HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL WILL NOT BE INCLUDED IN THE
HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK AT THIS TIME.
