LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE NORTHEASTWARD UP THE COAST TODAY AND MOVE OFFSHORE OF NEW ENGLAND BY TUESDAY MORNING. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FROM THE WEST ON WEDNESDAY AND BECOME ANCHORED OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC. A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE WEST ON THURSDAY BUT DISSIPATE BEFORE ARRIVING IN OUR AREA. AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE MAY MOVE THROUGH OUR REGION ON FRIDAY. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/... LOW PRESSURE IS LOCATED OFF THE NEW JERSEY COAST AND WILL MOVE NORTHEASTWARD AWAY FROM THE REGION TONIGHT AND INTO TUESDAY MORNING. MEANWHILE, SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO MOVE THROUGH THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON. RAINFALL AMOUNTS WILL GENERALLY BE AROUND AN INCH BUT SOME LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS REMAIN POSSIBLE. CONVECTION SHOULD TAPER OFF IN A MAINLY WEST TO EAST OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS AS THE SURFACE LOW MOVES FURTHER AWAY FROM OUR AREA. ALTHOUGH THE PRECIPITATION WILL END OVERNIGHT THERE WILL STILL BE PLENTY OF MOISTURE AROUND AND SOME PATCHY FOG MAY FORM ACROSS THE REGION.

MORE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE THROUGHOUT THE DAY ALTHOUGH GREATER CHANCES WILL BE OVER THE NORTHERN PORTIONS OF OUR FORECAST AREA. ADDITIONAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 0.5-1.0 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE AND FLOODING POTENTIAL WILL AGAIN NEED TO BE MONITORED IN AREAS THAT HAVE ALREADY SEEN COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF RAIN OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS. TEMPERATURES ON TUESDAY WILL BE SLIGHTLY COOLER THAN TODAY WITH HIGHS MAXING OUT IN THE UPPER 70S TO AROUND 80 IN MOST AREAS. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/... THE MID LEVEL TROUGH SHOULD BE DRIFTING FARTHER OFF THE COAST ON TUESDAY NIGHT. A WEAK RIDGE IS ANTICIPATED TO FOLLOW FOR WEDNESDAY. ANOTHER MID LEVEL TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DIGGING OVER THE GREAT LAKES AND THE NORTHEASTERN STATES ON THURSDAY. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO BUILD INTO OUR REGION FROM THE WEST ON TUESDAY NIGHT. THE CENTER OF THE HIGH IS EXPECTED TO PASS OVERHEAD AND OFF THE COAST ON WEDNESDAY. AS A RESULT, A CLEARING SKY IS LIKELY ON TUESDAY NIGHT WITH MOSTLY SUNNY CONDITIONS FOR WEDNESDAY. HUMIDITY SHOULD BE ON THE INCREASE IN THE RETURN FLOW ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE HIGH ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT. A MID LEVEL SHORT WAVE IS EXPECTED TO APPROACH FROM THE WEST ON THURSDAY AND IT SHOULD PASS OVER OUR REGION LATE IN THE DAY. WITH THE APPROACHING SHORT WAVE AND WITH THE INCREASED INSTABILITY, WE HAVE INCLUDED A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FOR THURSDAY, ESPECIALLY IN THE AFTERNOON. FOR THE PERIOD FROM THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY, THE MID LEVEL FLOW IS EXPECTED TO FEATURE A RIDGE IN THE WEST AND A TROUGH IN THE EAST. ADDITIONAL IMPULSES IN THE MID LEVEL FLOW MAY BRING SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FROM THURSDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY. WE WILL LEAVE OUT THE MENTION OF ANY PRECIPITATION ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY FOR THE TIME BEING.

SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO THIS EVENING. MVFR CEILINGS ARE PREVALENT ACROSS THE AREA WITH SOME SITES BREAKING OUT INTO VFR AT TIMES. HOWEVER, AS THE CONVECTION TAPERS OFF LATER THIS EVENING THERE WILL STILL BE AMPLE MOISTURE AROUND, KEEPING CEILINGS MAINLY IN THE MVFR RANGE. SOME SITES WILL ALSO SEE FOG DEVELOP AND VISIBILITIES MAY DROP TO AROUND 3-5 MILES OVERNIGHT AS WINDS REMAIN FAIRLY LIGHT AND VARIABLE. CONDITIONS LOOK TO IMPROVE ON TUESDAY AS THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM RESPONSIBLE PULLS OFF TO THE NORTHEAST OF OUR AREA. CEILINGS WILL GRADUALLY IMPROVE DURING THE DAY AND SHOULD BECOME VFR BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON. OUTLOOK... HIGH PRESSURE AND VFR CONDITIONS ARE ANTICIPATED FOR TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. AS THE HIGH BEGINS TO MOVE OUT TO SEA ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT, THE HUMIDITY WILL LIKELY INCREASE IN THE RETURN SOUTHERLY FLOW. AS A RESULT, THERE MAY BE SOME VISIBILITY RESTRICTIONS FROM LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY THURSDAY MORNING. A SERIES OF WEAK DISTURBANCES IN THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE MAY BRING SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FOR THURSDAY, FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, ESPECIALLY IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. && .MARINE... WINDS AND WAVES REMAIN FAIRLY CALM TODAY WITH NO HEADLINES ANTICIPATED FOR SEVERAL DAYS. SURFACE LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE OFF TO THE NORTHEAST TONIGHT AND PULLS AWAY FROM THE REGION ON TUESDAY.
