590 FXUS61 KOKX 011955 AFDOKX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service New York NY 355 PM EDT Mon Jul 1 2024 .SYNOPSIS...
-- Changed Discussion --
High pressure centered over the Great Lakes will build east tonight and across the area on Tuesday. The high will then give way to an approaching frontal system late Wednesday into Thursday. The frontal system along with a pre-frontal trough will remain nearby for the start of the weekend, likely moving just offshore Sunday into Monday.

&& .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
-- Changed Discussion --
A lingering shower across far eastern LI and SE CT will be possible into early this evening, otherwise expect dry conditions as a large area of high pressure builds east from the Great Lakes. Northerly winds will diminish to less than 10 mph. Overnight lows will range from the mid 50s across the interior and Pine Barrens region of LI, to the lower and mid 60s along the coast. The warmest readings will be across the NYC metro area. This is a few degrees below normal.

&& .SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
-- Changed Discussion --
High pressure both aloft and at the surface builds across the area on Tuesday. Expect mostly sunny skies with subsidence and high temperatures right around normal for this time of year. Most locations will top out in the lower to mid 80s, warmest across the interior and NYC metro. Expect late morning/afternoon seabreeze development due to a weak flow, with the synoptic flow becoming light S/SE at less than 10 mph. For Tuesday night into Wednesday, not much change with the exception of a strengthening southerly flow on Wednesday as the high builds to the east. Humidity levels will also come up some, but forecast remains dry with ridging aloft.

&& .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
-- Changed Discussion --
No significant changes were made and closely followed the NBM. The main adjustments had to do with PoPs over the weekend to better account for likely frontal boundary position towards the weekend. Main Points: * The humidity climbs late in the week and remain elevated into the weekend. * The pattern shifts to a more unsettled regime as a frontal boundary stalls just to the west, and lingers nearby for a good portion of the weekend. A quasi-zonal pattern that will be in place to begin the period quickly evolves to a developing long wave trough into the Northern Plains and Midwest which is progged by the global model consensus to gradually lift northeast and deamplify. This will lead to a SW flow aloft and a prevailing S to SW flow at the sfc throughout the period. A warm front is expected to lift north of the area Wednesday night and this will lead to a warmer and more humid air mass to take hold into the 4th of July holiday. There remains some question as to how far east the influence of an approaching frontal boundary can get to the region later on the 4th. For now have chance to slgt chance shwr/tstm for the holiday for later in the day and evening. For the remainder of the period the main question is how much does the frontal boundary stall Friday into Saturday, and then does the frontal system progress east late in the weekend and early next week. The front may very well linger nearby keeping things somewhat unsettled from time to time, especially for the afternoon and evening hours with more daytime heating for shower and t-shower / storm activity. PWATs should continue to creep up Thursday through the weekend as the region will be between high pressure in the W and SW Atlantic and a mean trough to our W and NW. This should result keeping humidity and the chance of at least diurnally driven shower activity in place. Temperatures are expected to average a few degrees above normal through the period.

&& .MARINE...
-- Changed Discussion --
High pressure builds across the area tonight into Tuesday with sub-SCA conditions. Southerly flow strengthens a bit on Wednesday with the high departing to the east and a weak frontal system approaching from the west. Gusts of 15 to 20 kt will be possible in the NY bight, but lower elsewhere. Sub advisory conditions will remain in place from Wednesday night through Saturday for all waters. There will likely be bouts of marginal small craft conditions at times, especially for portions of the ocean waters as a southerly flow increases with high pressure offshore and a frontal boundary likely being to the west.

&& .HYDROLOGY...
-- Changed Discussion --
A frontal boundary and pre-frontal trough are likely to approach late Thursday into Friday, and possibly linger into the weekend. At this time it remains too early to determine the risk of any hydrological impacts as the position of the pre-frontal trough and actual frontal boundary remain in question.

&& .TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
-- Changed Discussion --
There will be a low rip current risk on Tuesday. There will be a moderate risk developing for the western ocean beaches on Wednesday, with a low risk likely continuing for the Suffolk ocean beaches.
