Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service New York NY
402 PM EDT Fri Jul 3 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
A backdoor cold front will push westward across the area tonight.
High pressure will build in for the weekend. A weak frontal system
approaches early next week and remains in the vicinity through
the middle of the week. Another low system approaches from the
southwest by week's end.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
An approaching backdoor cold front interacting with a moderately
unstable air mass is resulting in widely scattered showers and
thunderstorms. As we head into the late afternoon, expecting
coverage and strength of these storms to increase due to increasing
instability and progression of the cold front. Overall, a weakly
sheared environment will limit the organization of storms keeping
the severe threat isolated.

With that being said, the front is providing a focus as to where the
heaviest rainfall will set up. With PWATs nearing 1.8-2.0 inches
into this evening, the concern will be heavy rainfall and training
storms which has the potential for flash flooding. WPC has kept the
whole area under a marginal risk (5 to 10 percent) for excessive
rainfall with a smaller area under a slight risk (10 to 20 percent),
which includes the Lower Hudson Valley, NE NJ, and SW CT. Much of
the area should see about a quarter to a half inch of rain, with
amounts closer to an inch across the interior. An onshore flow and
therefore a more stable airmass across Long Island will lend towards
lesser amounts.

Showers and thunderstorms diminish this evening as instability
begins to decrease and the front moves away from the area.

Temperatures will be in the mid 60s to around 70 tonight under a
partly to mostly cloudy sky.

There is a moderate risk of rip currents at the Atlantic Ocean
beaches this afternoon and evening due to a continued, but
diminishing SE swell.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY/...
The cold front will sink further to the south on Saturday allowing a
more seasonable airmass to settle into the region. Temperatures on
Saturday will be in the 80s, with the immediate coast seeing
temperatures in the upper 70s. A passing shortwave may spark off a
few showers late in the afternoon across the northwest interior, but
generally Saturday should be mainly dry.

A partly cloudy night expected with the weak wave passing overhead,
with lows in the 60s across the region.

There is low rip current risk at the Atlantic Ocean beaches on
Saturday.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
A back door cold front approaches from the north Sunday night as an
upper trough located over New England heads east. As ridging builds
in from the west by Monday, the front stalls to the south by
Tuesday, resulting in chances for showers and thunderstorms
starting Monday and continuing through next Thursday. This period
will be characterized by typical summertime diurnal showers and
thunderstorms as the frontal boundary appears to be weak with very
Little forcing.

By Tuesday, upper ridging moves overhead and surface winds shift to
the south bringing in a warmer and more humid airmass for much of
the week. Temperatures and dewpoints will increase each day starting
on Tuesday. Highs will be in the upper 80s to lower 90s during this
time frame, with the warmest readings expected across the New York
City metro area and northeast New Jersey. The combination of heat
and humidity results in heat index values in the middle to upper 90s
range, leading to possible Heat Advisories being issued. Wednesday
through Friday seems like the more likely days, with heat index
values of 95 to 99.

A shortwave trough approaches from the southwest by Friday bringing
a weak surface low south of the area.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
A back door cold front will advance westward from CT toward the
NYC metro area into this evening. Showers/tstms along the front
area already invof KSWF/KGON, and expect these to expand in
coverage and intensity as they near the NYC metro area late this
afternoon and early evening, with gusty winds and brief IFR
vsby in heavy rain possible, mainly 21Z-01Z in the metro area
give or take an hour.

Prevailing winds should be mainly N around or just under 10 kt,
shifting E-NE with passage of the back door front. Some
terminals may see a SE or S sea breeze this afternoon before
the front arrives.

MVFR cigs likely overnight after tstms end, scattering out
mainly during the mid morning hours on Sat with daytime
heating. KGON should lower to IFR overnight for a time.

.OUTLOOK FOR 18Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...
.Late Saturday afternoon and Sunday...Mainly VFR.
.Monday through Wednesday...Aftn/eve SHRA/TSRA possible,
especially lower Hudson Valley and NJ terminals.

&&

.MARINE...
Sub SCA conditions are expected across all waters through the
weekend as weak high pressure builds in. Northeasterly winds behind
a cold front on Saturday afternoon may briefly gust 15-20 kt. Waves
3 to 4 feet over the ocean Saturday relax to 3 feet Sunday as winds
become more southerly during the day.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Localized flash flooding is possible into early this evening.
Rainfall amounts will generally be an inch or less, with
localized amounts exceeding 2 inches.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
A coastal flood statement has been issued for Lower New York
Harbor and the south shore back bays of Queens and Nassau
Counties for this evening's high tide cycle.

A SE swell over the last several days in conjunction with
increasing astronomical high tides has gradually raised water
levels. Recent guidance, in particular, Steven's NYHOPS-E has
been several tenths too high the last several high tide cycles.
While there is good agreement that the south shore back bays
will get into minor tonight, with a diminishing swell and only
slightly higher astronomical high tides this evening compared
to last, confidence is not sufficient at this time to issue a
coastal flood advisory for widespread minor. Thus, the reason
for only a statement. This will be further evaluated later today
to assess recent performance with the high tide cycle this
morning.

The threat for minor coastal flooding will continue through the
weekend during the evening high tide cycles.

.EQUIPMENT...
NYC NOAA Weather Radio Station KWO35 (162.55 MHz) is undergoing
its final stages of testing, and is operating at full power.
