.SYNOPSIS...
A weak cold front approaches from the north today and passes
through by early Monday. High pressure then returns, eventually
settling east of the region towards the middle of the week. A
weak low to the south could impact the area Wednesday into
Thursday. A cold front drifting down from the north on Friday
will pass through Friday night, and remain to the south on
Saturday as strong high pressure builds in its wake.

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
A weak cold front approaches from the north today into this
evening, before eventually making its way through by early
Monday. Otherwise, weakening high pressure will be in place.
Winds will be more southerly today and then become more variable
tonight, eventually switching to more northeasterly flow by
early Monday.
Upper level trough moves through Northeast with coldest air
aloft and lowest geopotential heights towards more eastern
sections of the forecast region.
CAMs depict shower development once again and made the chance
POPs farther east across Southeast Connecticut and Eastern Long
Island within the afternoon into early evening. This is closer
to the apex of the mid level trough and associated higher
positive vorticity advection. Farther west, POPs limited to
slight chance. Model BUFKIT soundings convey a prominent mid
level cap so that is expected to limit the instability and
therefore kept the mention of thunder out of the forecast.
NBM exhibited a recent warm bias for some locations with MOS
consensus performing better regarding high temperature forecast
for the previous day. Temperature forecast used an equal blend
of NBM and MAV MOS as well as MET MOS. Forecast high
temperature range mainly from mid 70s to lower 80s.
For tonight, the upper level trough axis exits farther southeast
of the region. In its place across the local region will be an
area of negative vorticity advection. Instability will lower as
well with temperatures cooling. The weak cold front moves
through but will essentially dissipate as it moves through.
There are some slight chance POPs for eastern sections of the
region early in the evening but otherwise a mainly dry night is
expected.
Followed a combination of the NBM and MOS consensus for lows
tonight as there will be some radiational cooling. Clouds
decrease and winds become light and variable, eventually
settling upon a more northeast direction towards daybreak
Monday. The forecast lows tonight range from the lower 50s to
mid 60s.
In addition, a combination of radiative and advective fog
formation could occur for some locations late tonight into early
Monday morning. Have this in the forecast as patchy fog.
&&
.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
Upper levels exhibit the local area in between a cutoff low
well to the south and west and a subtle trough to the north and
east. The cutoff low starts to approach the area towards
midweek.
The more easterly flow each day, Monday and Tuesday, will make
for a cooling trend to high temperatures, especially along the
coast with more maritime influence. The high temperatures are
mainly in the mid to upper 70s Monday and then lower to upper
70s on Tuesday.
Dry conditions continue until Tuesday night, when chance for
rain returns from south to north as a weak low approaches from
offshore.
Lows forecast at night into early morning are similar for late
Monday night into early Tuesday morning and for late Tuesday
night into early Wednesday morning. For late Monday night into
early Tuesday morning, some locations could have fog develop
once again.
&&
.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Key Points:
* Chances for showers Wed into Thu as weak low pressure move up
  the coast.
* Dry conditions expected Fri into Sat.
A low to the south trapped underneath the larger scale ridge
over the ern CONUS will drift NNE-ward while gradually
weakening, with accompanying chances for showers Wed into Thu
especially for NYC and Long Island. Can`t rule out a tstm via
some weak elevated instability mainly close to the coast for
Wed night.
Fri still looks warm as conds dry out and heights rise aloft
however briefly, with highs mostly 80-85. An upper low moving
across ern Canada looks to bring a cold front through from the
north Fri night, with more seasonable conditions for Sat.
&&
.AVIATION /06Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
VFR with weak high pressure in control. A weak front will
approach this afternoon and evening.
S-SW flow 5-10 kt should veer around through NW-N overnight and
become light NE this morning. Sea breezes then expected for this
afternoon at 10 kt or less. KLGA could hold on to an ENE sound
breeze til 21Z. Diminishing S flow expected tonight.
...NY Metro (KEWR/KLGA/KJFK/KTEB) TAF Uncertainty...
No unscheduled AMD expected. Can`t rule out an isolated late day
shower with minimal impact.
.OUTLOOK FOR 06Z MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...
Late tonight through Tuesday night: VFR.
Wednesday and Thursday: Chance of showers, with MVFR cond
possible at times. An isolated tstm may be possible at the NYC
metro and coastal terminals late Wed night.

forecasts, can be found at: https:/www.weather.gov/zny/n90
&&
.MARINE...
The forecast parameters of wind and waves stay below SCA
thresholds through early week with the pressure gradient staying
relatively weak. Tuesday into Wednesday a low approaches from
offshore and there could be enough easterly fetch to have at least
some brief SCA seas on the ocean. Otherwise, conditions stay
below SCA thresholds through Thursday.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
There are no hydrologic concerns through the week.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
The risk for the development of rip currents at the ocean
beaches will remain low through Monday evening.
