555 FXUS61 KOKX 110307 AFDOKX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service New York NY 1107 PM EDT Thu Jul 10 2025 .SYNOPSIS... A trough of low pressure remains nearby through Friday. High pressure then builds off the New England coast this weekend, before a frontal system approaches from the west early next week. The associated cold front moves through on Monday, and high pressure returns into midweek. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
-- Changed Discussion --
Update made to remove the chances of showers and thunderstorms. Weak shortwave with some lingering instability appears to be touching off isolated showers just off to our north with any additional activity likely remaining to our north. Light to calm winds with low level moisture will lead to patchy fog overnight.

&& .SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT/... Increasing CAPE and decreasing CIN on Fri, but subsidence across the region is expected to limit/inhibit convective initiation attm. Still cannot rule out a few isold or widely sct aftn/eve tstms, particularly across the interior where there is some terrain to work with. The GFS does bring isold activity across the entire CWA, but without support from the NAM, have left the NBM pops unaltered. Some patchy fog again modeled for Fri ngt. A very subtle lljet may try to produce a few shwrs or tstms overnight, again mainly nwrn areas, but the NBM has not latched on to this yet so something to look for. The NAM and GFS have a weak signal. Hotter on Fri with all areas in the 80s, and the usual hot spots across the SW approaching 90. The MAV and NBS has 90 at EWR. && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... High pressure builds off the coast of Nova Scotia and maintains an offshore flow much of the weekend. This should help keep much of southern CT and LI dry, though inland western areas will see showers and thunderstorms possible each afternoon with a moist BL in SE flow and diurnal heating helping to build instability. Thereafter, a broad mid level trough centered over the Upper Great Lakes translates east into early next week, helping advance a frontal system toward and through the region, bringing increased chances for a more widespread rainfall, especially on Monday ahead of the cold front. Parameters appear at least marginally supportive of thunderstorm development, but steering flow appears progressive enough to mitigate significant flood concerns. Conditions dry behind the fropa into midweek as weak high pressure drifts in and NW flow aloft looks to lower the humidity. Temperatures through the period look to largely stay in the 80s most afternoons thru early week, with a gradual warm up then into mid next week. National blended guidance was followed for this update. && .AVIATION /03Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
