weather expected.

Thursday night. Limited to no impacts expected.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
.KEY MESSAGE 1...
N winds will continue to diminish tonight under clear skies as
high pressure builds in from the west. The light winds and clear
skies will promote good radiational cooling. Temps tonight will
be on the cooler side of the guidance, with 40s inland and in
the Long Island Pine Barrens and the 50s elsewhere. The forecast
low of 57 at Central Park would be the first time the low temp
there has been below 60 since June 16th. Tue should also be on
the cooler side, with highs in the lower 70s. As high pressure
slides offshore, temps should moderate to a few deg above normal
for Wed and Thu, with highs from the mid 70s to lower 80s.

.KEY MESSAGE 2...
A cold front is progged to pass through during Thursday night.
Low chance of rain during this period, and with the loss of
CAPE, no thunder expected. Rain threat should be done by the
Friday morning commute with the cold front offshore by this
time.

Some disagreement among models regarding what would be another
cold front passage this weekend. Most likely time of its
passage would be Sunday morning, but its possible it lingers
over or near us into Monday. Rain chances kept below 50%
Saturday night through Monday. Any instability would probably be
limited, so while it`s too early to have high confidence, severe
weather and flooding chances so far appear to be very low to
none.
