Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service New York NY
604 PM EDT Fri Aug 17 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front approaches tonight and then moves across the area
Saturday into Saturday night. A series of lows along the cold
front south of Long Island will keep the frontal boundary not
too far away for the close of the weekend into early next week.
Meanwhile, high pressure from the Canadian Maritimes will begin
building down along the Northeastern Seaboard. High pressure
gets closer to the local region Monday into Tuesday next week. A
frontal system from the west moves across Wednesday into
Wednesday night with high pressure returning thereafter.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
**A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is in effect for portions of
 northeastern New Jersey, the lower Hudson Valley and portions
 of southern Connecticut through 11 PM EDT.**

The heat advisory was allowed to expire at 600 PM EDT. Across
northeastern New Jersey there were still a few locations where
the heat indices were 95 to 99, and these will be lowering
through early this evening.

Cold front continues to move towards the area this evening.
Meanwhile showers and thunderstorms have developed across areas
northwest of NYC. Showers and thunderstorms will become more
widespread this evening and into tonight. A few storms will
likely become strong to severe with the potential for some gusty
winds. With the very moist airmass and precipitable water
values between 1.5 and 2.0 inches, some storms have also the
potential to produce torrential downpours resulting in flash
flooding.

As the front continues to move southeast near the region additional
scattered showers with thunderstorms are possible overnight.

There is a moderate risk for the development of rip currents at
the Atlantic Ocean beaches through early this evening.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
The cold front will be very slow to push southward across the area.
Some additional showers and thunderstorms are possible
Saturday. Although, instability looks limited lowering the
potential for severe thunderstorms development, precipitable
waters will remain above normal and as a result any thunderstorm
that do development have the potential for heavy downpours.

Temperatures on Saturday will be in the mid to upper 80s with
heat indices remaining below heat advisory criteria.

There is a low risk for the development of rip currents at the
Atlantic Ocean beaches Saturday.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Cooler and a little less humid conditions expected to start out
Sunday through Monday with more rain in the forecast Sunday and
Sunday night as the region gets more NE flow. Airmass warms up for
mid to late in the week, near normal levels with winds having more
westerly and southerly components.

Upper level trough will be slow to exist for the close of the
weekend. Trough axis will be west of the region Sunday and Sunday
night with jet streak across the region. The trough axis moves
across Monday. The steering flow will not promote the front to move
farther south of Long Island and with weak low pressure areas
forming along it, essentially keeping some rain showers in the
forecast for the region, highest chances along the coast.

More drying takes place Monday when more ridging aloft and high
pressure at the surface will settle more southwestward along the
Northeastern Seaboard. Dry conditions remain until midweek when the
next frontal system approaches from the west. Aloft, a large
amplitude trough will be approaching with a stronger southerly jet
ahead of it. This jet moves in Wednesday night into early Thursday.
Chances for showers return Tuesday afternoon and Tuesday night with
highest chances N/W of NYC. The chances for showers continues
Wednesday with thunderstorms possible as well as instability is
forecast to increase again with the airmass getting warmer and more
humid. Dry conditions return Thursday into Friday next week with
high pressure returning.

&&

.AVIATION /22Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Thunderstorms will move northwest of the metro terminals, but
may be close enough to the terminals to warrant a VCTS through
23Z. KTEB is closest to these thunderstorms, so TSRA between
22Z-23Z is more likely here. No mention of VCTS for KJFK as they
are farthest from the thunderstorms and will likely not see
VCTS.

Otherwise, A weak cold front will slowly approach from the west
tonight, and cross through the region Saturday.

VFR through the afternoon. A pre-frontal trough arriving this
evening, may have a weakening line of showers and sparse thunderstorms
affect the NYC/NJ and NW terminals between 00z and 03z.
Additional scattered showers and thunderstorms possible
overnight through Sat morning, with MVFR cigs/vsby.

S winds gradually strengthen this afternoon, with gusts to
20-25 kt possible for KLGA/KJFK after 20-21z. SE seabreezes
possible at KEWR/KTEB btwn 19z and 21z. S/SW winds subside to
5-10 kt this evening. Winds veer SW/W late Sat morning into
afternoon.

can be found at: http:/www.weather.gov/zny/n90

KJFK TAF Comments: Sparse convection potential, mainly after
00z. Southerly gusts of 20-25 kt possible after 21z.

.OUTLOOK FOR 18Z SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...

8-12kt.
.Mon-Tue..VFR.
.Tue Night-Wed...Chance of shower/tstm with MVFR conds.

&&

.MARINE...
Winds and seas on the western ocean waters have been running
below small craft advisory levels, and will remain below
through early this evening. There may be an occasional gust in
the Sandy Hook low level jet region early this evening. The
small craft advisory has been cancelled. Elsewhere, winds and
seas are expected to remain below SCA conditions.

SCA conditions are possible on the ocean waters Sunday.
Some marginal SCA wind gusts are possible for non-ocean waters
with otherwise sub SCA conditions expected for all non-ocean
waters. Then, sub-SCA conditions are expected for all the
forecast waters early into the middle of next week but there is
a possibility the SCA seas could linger into Monday for the
ocean. Ocean seas could reach SCA criteria again Wednesday night
into Thursday.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Thunderstorms, with heavy to torrential rainfall, tonight
through Saturday could result in minor urban flooding. There is
also an isolated flash flood threat with the strongest
thunderstorms.

No significant widespread rainfall expected during the long
term.
