Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service New York NY
628 PM EDT Mon Sep 11 2023

.SYNOPSIS...
Weak low pressure and a cold front slowly move across the area
this evening, then slides offshore overnight. Another frontal
system approaches on Tuesday and moves across the area on
Wednesday. High pressure builds in behind the departing cold
front and remains centered over the Great Lakes through Friday.
The high starts to weaken over the weekend. At the same time,
Tropical Cyclone Lee is forecast to pass offshore to our east. A
frontal system approaches for early next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
A cold front is currently draped across the area and will
continue to push east through tonight. Slow moving showers and
thunderstorms are along the front roughly from Staten Island up
through northern Middlesex County. Behind this line, the flood
threat has decreased, but can not be completely ruled out as
isolated cells can be seen on radar to our north and west. The
Flood Watch remains in effect through midnight across the whole
area. The broken line of showers and thunderstorms has been able
to put down a quick 1-2 inches. Mainly minor flooding is being
observed, but an isolated flash flood is possible.

The 18z OKX sounding showed PWATs around 1.82, so expect these
storms to produce locally heavy rainfall. WPC has much of the
area in a slight risk for flash flooding.

Most of the CAMs showing the shower/thunderstorm activity coming to
an end around 02-04z (10pm-12am) tonight. It should be around this
time that the front slides east of the region, and while the winds
make a turn towards the north, wind speeds will remain rather light,
only around 5-7kt.

It will remain rather muggy tonight with low temperatures and
dewpoints remaining in the middle and upper 60s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
The weak low and cold front will continue to slowly shift farther
out to sea on Tuesday. There will be some weak ridging behind the
front, however it wont last long as the next system approaches from
the west. While most of the day on Tuesday will be dry, can not rule
out a passing shower or thunderstorm as a shortwave passes over the
area. It will remain muggy as dewpoints remain in the 65-70 range.
High temps generally around 80.

An upper level trough and cold front continue to approach Tuesday
night. Another muggy night is expected with dewpoints once again in
the 65-70 range with lows slightly warmer.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
The long term period starts with a cold front likely just to our
west, with a digging shortwave trough approaching from the
northwest. Timing of the frontal passage will be very important as
there is the potential for severe weather as well as isolated flash
flooding. In current forecast soundings there is an average of 500-
1000 J/kg of SBCAPE and moderate sheer in a veering profile (35 kt
of 0-6km). The SPC has outlined the eastern half of the area in a
marginal risk of severe weather. The CAPE profile is long and skinny
and in a moist environment (pwats 1.6-1.9 inches) there is also some
potential for isolated flooding in heavy downpours. See the
Hydrology section below.

We dry out Wednesday night as high pressure starts to build in from
the north and west. The shortwave trough axis passes east late
Thursday. High pressure remains centered to our north and west over
the Great Lakes through Friday and will weaken over the weekend. At
the same time, Tropical Cyclone Lee will track north. It is too soon
to determine tropical impacts, if any. However, dangerous rips and
high surf are likely from mid week through the weekend. See
Tides/Coastal Flooding section.

Monitor https:/www.weather.gov/okx/tropical or
https:/www.nhc.noaa.gov for the latest NHC forecasts on Hurricane
Lee and others.

&&

.AVIATION /22Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
A frontal boundary across the region will slowly move east of the
region late tonight into Tuesday.

Showers with a few thunderstorms are moving across parts of the
region going into late this afternoon. Thunderstorms grow in
coverage late this afternoon into early this evening. Shower and
thunderstorm coverage decreases thereafter with mainly dry
conditions anticipated for the remainder of the TAF period.

Conditions much of the TAF period are expected to be VFR but brief
MVFR to IFR visibilities will be possible with showers and
thunderstorms. Also, there could be some localized MVFR to IFR
stratus into this evening. Otherwise, some MVFR stratus is forecast
late tonight into Tuesday morning with potential for IFR stratus.

Winds will be less than 10 kts through the TAF period. Wind
direction will be more variable especially tonight into Tuesday
morning. There will be some southerly flow this afternoon into early
evening as well as late Tuesday morning into Tuesday afternoon.

 ...NY Metro (KEWR/KLGA/KJFK/KTEB) TAF Uncertainty...

Wind direction forecast low confidence.

Timing of thunderstorms could be 1-2 hours off.

Timing of categorical changes could be 1-3 hours off.

OUTLOOK FOR 18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...

Tuesday afternoon - Tuesday night: Mainly VFR but MVFR possible at
night. Chance of a showers and thunderstorms Tuesday night.

Wednesday: MVFR to IFR at times. Periodic showers. A chance of
thunderstorms. Showers and thunderstorms taper off at night.

Thursday - Friday: VFR. Northerly wind gusts around 15 to 20 kt
Thursday night through Friday night.

Saturday: Mainly VFR. NW wind gusts around 20 to 25 kt.

Detailed information, including hourly TAF wind component forecasts,
can be found at: https:/www.weather.gov/zny/n90

&&

.MARINE...
With a weak pressure gradient in place, winds and seas will remain
below SCA thresholds through Tuesday night. While winds remain
below Small Craft Advisory criteria through Thursday, swells
from Tropical Cyclone Lee will likely push seas to 5 ft on
Wednesday on the ocean waters. Elevated seas will last through
the weekend. Seas likely peak Friday night into Saturday with
10-13 ft on the ocean waters, 6-8 ft in the eastern Sound and 3-
5 ft elsewhere possible. Winds peak on Saturday, with Small
Craft Advisory gusts possible on all waters. Wind gusts across
the eastern ocean could briefly reach 40 kt.

Monitor https:/www.weather.gov/okx/tropical or
https:/www.nhc.noaa.gov for the latest NHC forecasts on Hurricane
Lee and others.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
The flood threat has decreased for the Lower Hudson Valley, but
can not be completely ruled out. A Flood Watch remains in
effect until midnight. Slow moving showers and thunderstorms
this evening will be capable of producing 1 to 2 inches or more
in a short amount of time. This may result in urban, small
stream, or poor drainage flooding.

There is a risk for primarily minor flooding on Wednesday as a cold
front moves through the area, with a low chance of flash flooding.
The WPC has outlined the whole area in a slight risk of excessive
rainfall. On average, a widespread 1 inch of rain is forecast, with
locally higher amounts possible.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
There is a moderate risk of rip currents on Tuesday. Dangerous rip
currents and likely high surf will develop on Wednesday as Tropical
Cyclone Lee heads north. It is still too soon to know what coastal
flooding impacts, if any, Tropical Cyclone Lee will bring.

Monitor https:/www.weather.gov/okx/tropical or
https:/www.nhc.noaa.gov for the latest NHC forecasts on Hurricane
Lee and others.
