.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT SLOWLY APPROACHES THE EAST COAST TONIGHT...MOVING

WEEKEND.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM THIS
EVENING.

INDEX AROUND -3C. 0-6 KM BULK SHEAR VALUES ARE AROUND 30 KT...BUT
WILL INCREASE TO 30-40 KT INTO THIS EVENING. PWATS RANGE FROM
1.75-2.25". SFC TROUGH AND SEVERAL STRONG MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVES WILL
MOVE ACROSS THE REGION THIS EVENING...TOUCHING OFF STRONG TO
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH HEAVY RAIN. MAIN THREAT FROM STORMS WILL
BE THE DAMAGING WINDS AND HEAVY RAIN...AND CANNOT RULE OUT A
TORNADO...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE LOWER HUDSON VALLEY...NORTHEAST
NJ...AND NYC.
STORMS TAPER OFF FROM WEST TO EAST AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. BY THE
TIME THE STORMS APPROACH EASTERN LONG ISLAND AND EASTERN PORTIONS
OF SOUTHERN CT...THE DYNAMICS FOR SEVERE STORMS WILL HAVE
DIMINISHED...SO THOSE AREAS CAN MAINLY EXPECT HEAVY RAIN AND GUSTY
WINDS.
WITH ABUNDANT LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE IN THE AREA...PATCHY FOG WILL
DEVELOP LATE TONIGHT AFTER SHOWERS/STORMS END.
LOWS TONIGHT WILL RANGE FROM THE UPPER 60S ACROSS THE INTERIOR TO

RANGE FROM 30-40 KT...AND PWATS WILL BE AROUND 2".
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP IN THE AFTERNOON ONCE
AGAIN...WITH HEAVY RAIN AND GUSTY...POSSIBLY DAMAGING...WINDS
BEING THE MAIN IMPACT FROM ANY THUNDERSTORMS. STORMS CONTINUE
THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT AS THE SFC COLD FRONT AND UPPER TROUGH DIG
THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY. SFC LOW PRES WILL DEVELOP AT THE BASE OF
THE UPPER TROUGH...SOMEWHERE OVER THE MID-ATLANTIC STATES...AND
WILL SLIDE ALONG THE COAST...ENHANCING THE HEAVY RAIN OVER THE
REGION. COLD FRONT SEEMS TO HAVE SLOWED DOWN AS COMPARED TO
PREVIOUS MODEL RUNS...AND THE BULK OF THE ACTIVITY LOOKS TO OCCUR
TUESDAY NIGHT.
THERE IS A MODERATE RISK FOR RIP CURRENTS ON TUESDAY.
&&
.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
THE LONG TERM PERIOD STARTS OFF WITH A BROAD UPPER TROUGH AND
CLOSED UPPER LOW ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES INTO THE OHIO VALLEY. THIS

ON THURSDAY. MEANWHILE...AT THE SURFACE...A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE
ACROSS THE REGION ON WEDNESDAY. EXPECT SHOWERS...POSSIBLY HEAVY AT
TIMES...TO CONTINUE WEDNESDAY MORNING FOR MOST OF THE

AN END AS THE FRONT MOVES EAST. THERE COULD BE SOME ISOLATED
THUNDER...HOWEVER WILL LEAVE OUT OF THE FORECAST FOR NOW.
