Low pressure passes nearby into tonight. A cold front approaches Tuesday and begins to move through the area Tuesday night. The front likely stalls nearby the rest of the week leading to unsettled conditions, potentially into the upcoming weekend. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...-- Changed Discussion --The center of the remnants of what was TS Chantal are spinning south of Long Island currently and will pass east tonight. Activity has diminished this evening and conditions tonight remain mild and muggy, with the potential for areas of patchy fog to develop. Temperatures remain in the 70s everywhere overnight.-- End Changed Discussion --&& .SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/... In the wake of the remnants of Chantal exiting our to sea, a cold front back to the west begins to approach through the day on Tuesday. Deep tropical moisture remains in place ahead of the front, and showers and thunderstorms look to develop once again into the afternoon hours as the boundary approaches. The main concern will once again be torrential downpours and localized flash flooding. WPC has expanded a slight risk to now include the entire local area, indicating isolated to scattered areas of flash flooding are possible. Also can`t rule out a few isolated strong to severe thunderstorms, with damaging wind gusts the main threat. SPC has much of the area in a marginal risk, with a slight just off to the south and west over NJ. Given tall CAPE profiles in a weak shear, uncapped environment, there is potential for an isolated downburst or two. Latest hires CAMs develop clusters of convection by mid afternoon across the I95 corridor from the Mid Atlantic and into the local Tri State, before propagating east into the early evening. In addition to the heavy rainfall threat, temperatures on Tuesday may be able to achieve lower 90s across the urban corridor of NE NJ and NYC, especially if enough clearing occurs early in the day before convection initiates. Given dew pts into the 70s, peak heat indices are progged around 100F and a heat advisory was hoisted for NYC, most of NE NJ, southern Westchester, and Nassau Co. Elsewhere, marginal advisory criteria is possible, but think values largely remain more in the mid to upper 90s. Precipitation diminishes overnight, but the advancing front slows and potentially stalls over the area Tuesday night, and conditions remain mild and muggy with temperatures only falling back into the 70s. && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... The NBM was followed with minor local adjustments. Key Points: * A stalled front south of the area will remain in the general vicinity through the weekend. * Each day will present a chance of showers and/or thunderstorms with the overall highest chances from roughly late Wednesday night through Thursday night. * Temperatures should be right around average for this time of the year with highs each day in the lower and middle 80s. . && .AVIATION /03Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...-- Changed Discussion --Weak low pressure passes to the south tonight. A cold front approaches late tonight and remains in the vicinity through the TAF period. MVFR to IFR conditions tonight, mainly for eastern terminals, with better conditions as you head west. While KJFK may remain IFR all night KWER may only briefly see MVFR. After lingering light showers tonight, heavier howers and thunderstorms return Tuesday afternoon with some uncertainty in exact timing and coverage. Kept PROB30 for now. Winds become light and variable once again tonight. A SW to WSW wind sets up Tuesday at around 10 kt by mid to late morning. Given the nearby front there is more uncertainty than usual with wind direction starting Tuesday afternoon. ...NY Metro (KEWR/KLGA/KJFK/KTEB) TAF Uncertainty... AMD possible overnight with changes in flight category in low stratus/fog. More uncertainty than usual with wind direction Tuesday afternoon given nearby front. .OUTLOOK FOR 00Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY... Tuesday Night: MVFR possible. Wednesday through Friday: Afternoon and evening showers/tstms possible each day, with brief MVFR or IFR conditions. Saturday: Mainly VFR. A slight chance for showers and an isolated thunderstorm with MVFR or lower conditions. Detailed information, including hourly TAF wind component forecasts, can be found at: https:/www.weather.gov/zny/n90-- End Changed Discussion --&& .MARINE... Seas build toward 5 ft tonight with a SE swell on Atlantic ocean waters east of Fire Island Inlet, and a Small Craft Advisory was hoisted here from 6Z Tue thru 6Z Wed. Elsewhere, winds and seas are expected to remain below advisory criteria much of the week, and potentially through the weekend. && .HYDROLOGY... Torrential downpours are possible into this evening with scattered showers and thunderstorms, especially across NE NJ, NYC metro, and Lower Hudson Valley. This could lead to areas of nuisance flooding and localized flash flooding. WPC has NE NJ in a slight risk for excessive rainfall, with NYC and the Lower Hudson Valley outlined in a marginal risk. Additional rounds of showers and thunderstorms Tuesday afternoon could once again produce locally heavy rainfall that leads to flooding. WPC has expanded a slight risk across the entire local region. A marginal risk remains in place for much of the area on Wednesday. && .TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING... The rip risk through this evening on all ocean beaches continues to be moderate with 2-3 foot surf heights. For Tuesday, the risk increases to high with surf heights around 5 feet. && .OKX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... CT...Air Quality Alert until 11 PM EDT this evening for CTZ005-009.
