Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service New York NY
759 PM EDT Sun Jun 2 2019
.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front moves across the area this evening. High pressure
builds into the region late tonight through Monday night. The high
passes to the south off the Mid Atlantic coast on Tuesday,
while a warm front passes to the north and west during the
afternoon and evening hours. Another frontal system will impact
the area Wednesday into Thursday with high pressure returning to
close out the week.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
Severe Thunderstorm Watch 318 is in effect for our NJ zones
until 10pm tonight...
A cold front moves across the region tonight.
First round of showers and thunderstorms associated with a pre-
frontal trough have moved across the region, mainly impacting
northern NJ and NYC. These storms have since weakened as they
moved east. There should be a short break, before additional
showers and thunderstorms move across the region, this time
associated with the actual cold front.
CAPE values should lower through the next couple of hours, so
unsure if any storms will become severe. However, with the
severe thunderstorm watch still in place, will continue to keep
the enhanced wording in the NJ zones. Any thunderstorms will be
gusty winds, hail, heavy rain, and frequent lightning.
Most of the storms should come to an end between 02z and 05z
from west to east.
Once the storms move offshore and the cold front moves east of
the area expect drying to take place as the wind becomes more
NW. The NW flow should bring in much lower dewpoints as well.
Overnight lows fall into the upper 40s and 50s.
There is a moderate risk of rip current development on the
Atlantic beaches into this evening.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
The cold front continues to move offshore on Monday with a
trailing upper level trough passing over the region. High
pressure at the surface builds west of the region and will be
slow to build in locally. Low level environment too dry for any
rainfall, so left forecast dry. It should be a mostly sunny day,
however some clouds are possible across the lower hudson valley
late in the afternoon. Temperatures on Monday will be
noticeably cooler than previous day with highs ranging from the
lower 60s to lower 70s for most locations. In addition, it will
be much less humid with much lower dew points.
High pressure continues to build towards the region Monday
night with dry weather continuing. Cooler lows are forecast from
the lower 40s to lower 50s.
There is a low risk of rip current development on the Atlantic
beaches Monday.
&&
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Mean upper trough will reside across eastern Canada and New England
during the period. This will place the area near the southern edge
of the westerlies with a mid week short wave trough sending a weak
frontal system across the area Wednesday into Thursday. The latter
of which will increase chances of convection during this period.
Early assessment is that parameters are marginal for strong and/or
severe convection. Prior to this, there is also a slight chance of
showers Tuesday evening with warm advection ahead of a warm front.
The best thermal forcing looks to be north of the area at this time.
Temperatures will be seasonable on Tuesday, followed by period of
above normal temperatures through the end of the week.
&&
.AVIATION /00Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
A cold front approaches and moves across the terminals this evening.
High pressure builds Monday.
VFR, however some MVFR vsbys in showers possible before
midnight. SW winds bcmg W, then NW by midnight at around 10 kt.
For Monday, VFR with NW winds increasing to around 15 kt with
gusts 20-25kt.
.OUTLOOK FOR 00Z TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...
.Mon night...VFR. NW gusts 20-25 kt early evening.
.Tue...VFR.
.Wed...Chance of MVFR in showers and possible thunderstorms late in
the day.
.Thu...Chance of MVFR or lower in showers.
.Fri...VFR.
&&
.MARINE...
A tightening pressure gradient ahead of a cold front will result
in increasing southerly flow this evening. Gusts around 20 kt
are possible on the ocean waters with seas gradually building to
3-4 ft. Winds shift behind the front tonight into Monday
afternoon, but should remain below 25 kt through this time
frame. There may be an increase in winds to SCA levels and seas
could build to around 5 ft on the waters east of Moriches inlet
Monday evening.
Sub-SCA conditions are likely on Tuesday with high pressure
near the waters. An approaching cold front Wednesday may build
ocean seas to near 5 ft and bring marginal SCA gusts. The front
may remain over the waters into Thursday keeping the potential for
SCA conditions due to elevated ocean seas. High pressure builds in
for the end of the week.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
There is a chance for minor flooding with any thunderstorms this
evening. Basin averaged amounts through tonight of 0.25 to 0.5
inch are expected with locally higher amounts possible. Storms
should have some movement to them, which should help mitigate
the flood potential.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
Astronomically high tides today bring the potential of localized
minor coastal flooding. Isolated minor coastal flooding is
anticipated with this evenings high tide for the south shore back
bays of Long Island and Western Long Island Sound locations in
southwest Connecticut and coastal Westchester. A coastal flood
statement has been issued where tidal departures of one half to one
foot are forecast.
