update.

weather expected.

2) A couple of chances of rain in the mid to long term starting
Thursday night. Limited to no impacts expected.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
.KEY MESSAGE 1...
Gusty NW flow should diminish tonight, with clear skies and
diminishing winds promoting 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 the. 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.
