238 FXUS61 KOKX 141512 AFDOKX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service New York NY 1112 AM EDT Sat Jun 14 2025 .SYNOPSIS... A frontal wave will pass to the south today. High pressure builds in from the northeast tonight into Sunday. Weak high pressure will then remain in place through at least Monday. A nearly stationary front remains Tuesday with a wave of low pressure affecting the region. The front moves north as a warm front Tuesday night, passing north during Wednesday. A cold front moves through the region Thursday night. High pressure builds in Friday. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... Steadier rains along the south shore of eastern LI will pass to the east shortly. KJFK saw over half inch in hour with 0.3 to 0.4 at other ob sites across LI. A frontal wave to the south of LI this morning will continue to track to the east and rain will decrease in coverage and intensity. An additional 0.1 to 0.2 is possible through this afternoon in what will mainly be light rain. High pressure will nose in from the northeast behind the low tonight as drier air filters in, PoPs decrease, but still remain slight chance/chance through the night. NBM was followed for temperatures giving highs in the 60s and lows in the 50s. && .SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/... High pressure continues to build in from the northeast on Sunday. PoPs continue to decrease with a dry day expected for the most part, especially for eastern Long Island and eastern CT. Confidence in also increasing in some breaks of sun for these eastern areas and have lowered sky cover just a bit. Given this, also upped temperatures a few degrees in these areas. Otherwise NBM was followed for temps through this time period. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... A nearly stationary front remains south of the region Tuesday as another wave of low pressure moves along the boundary with a chance of showers by late day. With the approach of a trough and surface low moving through the upper Midwest and into southern Canada Tuesday night into Wednesday, the front is expected to beginning moving to the north as a warm front, and likely pass to the north during Wednesday. A cold front approaching during Thursday and passes through the area Thursday night. While there will be slight to chance probabilities of rainfall Tuesday into Wednesday night, the best chances for rainfall will be with the cold front approaching during the day Thursday, and currently forecast to pass through the region Thursday night. Precipitable water values increase to around 1.75 inches, and there will be surface based and elevated CAPE in place. With a warm and unstable airmass ahead of the front, there is the potential for thunderstorms, some of which may produce briefly heavy rainfall. At this time the storms will be moving rather quickly, and training is not expected, so hydrologic impacts are not expected. An amplifying ridge across the central United States Thursday night approaches for Friday and into the beginning of next weekend. With no targets of opportunity have used the deterministic NBM through the extended period. && .AVIATION /15Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... A stationary front remains south of the area as a weak low moves along the boundary through today. High pressure builds into the region from the northeast late tonight into early Sunday morning. Mainly MVFR to start with a few terminals even still VFR, though ceilings generally lower toward IFR into early afternoon with occasional light rain through the day. Rain is expected to taper late in the day into this evening, but IFR conds persist. Conditions begin to improve overnight, but remain at least MVFR with low cigs thru Sunday morning. Winds NE 10 to 14kt through today, diminishing a few kts this evening. NY Metro (KEWR/KLGA/KJFK/KTEB) TAF Uncertainty... Amendments likely for changing flight categories into this afternoon. .OUTLOOK FOR 12Z SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY... Sunday - Monday: Slight chance of showers, mainly from the New York City terminals and west, with MVFR to IFR possible at times. Otherwise VFR. Tuesday: Mainly VFR, slight chance of showers late day into the night, with a chance of MVFR to IFR. Wednesday: Mostly VFR. A chance of showers and thunderstorms with a period of sub-VFR. Detailed information, including hourly TAF wind component forecasts, can be found at: https:/www.weather.gov/zny/n90 && .MARINE... NW winds across the waters this morning have ramped up quicker and stronger. Seeing wind gusts up to around 25 kt at some of the buoys across LI Sound and the ocean waters. Thus, have issued a SCA for LI Sound until 4 pm and the ocean waters start time was moved up to this morning. Otherwise, an easterly wind will bring waves to 5 ft on the ocean waters. Stuck closer to WaveWatch as NWPS seemed a bit low given a sustained winds at 15-20 kt for several hours. SCA up through tonight on the ocean. Otherwise, sub SCA conditions expected through Monday night. Winds and seas remain below SCA levels across the forecast waters Tuesday through Thursday. With the approach of a cold front Thursday, passing through the waters Thursday night, southwest to west winds will be increasing. By later Thursday night wind gusts on the ocean waters east of Fire Island Inlet may approach SCA levels, and ocean seas may build to near 5 feet. && .HYDROLOGY... No hydrologic impacts expected Tuesday through the end of the week. && .TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING... Sticking with moderate risk of rip currents for ocean beaches today. Some uncertainty in exact strength and direction of winds which in turn will affect wave heights and direction. If winds end up more northerly than forecast, the rip current activity will likely be lower and the risk may be updated during the day. Winds will be more easterly on Sunday an around 10 kt. An E wave component around 4 ft at 6s will result in a low risk of rip current activity. && .OKX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... CT...None. NY...None. NJ...None.
