What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this red flag warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS New York, NY wrote its last area forecast discussion before this red flag warning went out at Nov 7, 12:29 PM EST, 2 hours 43 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Nov 7, 12:29 PM EST, 2 hours 43 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service New York NY 1229 PM EST Thu Nov 7 2024 .SYNOPSIS... A weak sfc trough will move into the area this morning, followed by a cold frontal passage early this afternoon. High pressure will the briefly nose in from the west in its wake later today, then weaken tonight with the approach of another cold front which should move through on Friday. Strong Canadian high pressure will build in its wake Friday night into Saturday, then move offshore on Sunday, with a frontal system passing through Sunday night into Monday. High pressure will then build in through the middle of next week. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... For this midday update, minor changes were made to lower high temperatures for the day a degree or two based on current observations and trends. Otherwise, the forecast remains on track. A cold front continues to push through the area bringing NW winds with gusts up to 20-25 mph. A few clouds in interior areas will continue to scatter out. The rest of the forecast remains on track. Temps still look to be unseasonably warm today given sunshine, deep mixing and downslope flow, though not quite as warm as yesterday except across coastal CT and Long Island given the wind shift from SW off the water yesterday. High temps should reach the upper 70s in NE NJ, mid 70s most elsewhere, and the lower 70s well inland, a couple degrees above the warmest MOS guidance as was the case yesterday. These temps will be a couple of degrees shy of record highs at Newark, Central Park, and LaGuardia. Most of the cold air advection should take place this evening before NW flow backs W overnight. With CAA, clear skies and diminishing winds there will be some radiational cooling as well. Low temps will range from the upper 30s well inland to near 50 in NYC. && .SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... One last mild day expected on Fri, with highs mostly 65-70, and a gusty W flow before another dry cold front moves through from the north Fri evening, and Canadian high pressure builds in for the weekend. Temps Fri night should bottom out from the mid 30s to mid 40s, and daytime temps on Sat will be noticeably cooler, with highs only in the 50s. && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... Key Points: * Above average temperatures expected late Sunday and Monday, then back to normal for the middle of next week. * Widespread light rain likely late Sunday into Monday as a frontal system moves through. Surface high pressure with upper level ridging will be in place over the area on Saturday which will gradually shift offshore into Sunday. A potent shortwave trough moves across the Upper Midwest and into the Great Lakes region on Sunday which will allow for a surface frontal system to impact the area late Sunday and through much of the day on Monday. Widespread light rainfall is expected Sunday late afternoon through the first half of Monday. Additionally, a persistent SW flow will allow temperatures to be above average both Sunday and particularly Monday with highs Monday in the middle to upper 60s. The cold front pushes through Monday night with a shifting NW flow eventually drying out the airmass and ushering in more seasonable air. The general thinking is that high pressure gradually reestablishes itself by midweek with large-scale upper level ridging. Another frontal system may approach the area by late in the week, but timing and placement differences are too large among global models to have any certainty in the forecast at this range. && .AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... High pressure builds to the west of the area through Friday morning. A dry cold front, from the north, passes through the region Friday afternoon. VFR. Winds NW around 15 kt, gusts 20-25 kt with occasional higher gusts up to 28 kt. Gusts ending early this evening with winds diminishing, and direction becomes more variable to W tonight, W winds increase to around 15 kt, G25-30 kt. ...NY Metro (KEWR/KLGA/KJFK/KTEB)TAF Uncertainty... OUTLOOK FOR 18Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY... Friday afternoon: VFR. W winds around 15 kt, G25-30 kt, becoming 10-15 kt, G20-25 kt at night. Saturday: VFR. Sunday: VFR into the afternoon, then becoming MVFR with a chance of rain showers. MVFR or lower in rain showers at night. Monday: MVFR becoming VFR.
