763 FXUS61 KOKX 010012 AFDOKX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service New York NY 812 PM EDT Sun Jun 30 2024 .SYNOPSIS... A cold front will move across the region this afternoon and evening. High pressure then builds in Monday and will remain in control through Wednesday. A warm front lifts north of the area on Wednesday Night followed by a cold front late in the week which may remain nearby into the first half of next weekend. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
-- Changed Discussion --
Some showers and thunderstorms remain along the cold front but are much less coverage with more coverage south of Long Island. With decreasing instability, reduced thunderstorm probabilities to chance and have chance to likely POPs across the region, getting more confined to the coastal areas for mid to late this evening. The showers are expected to be mainly south of Long Island overnight with a slight chance of thunderstorms also. Mainly dry conditions are going to become re-established across much of the region overnight. Thunderstorms are expected to remain below severe thresholds but some localized strong thunderstorms cannot be ruled out with strong gusty winds and locally heavy rain this evening. The cold front is expected to move through the NYC metro around 2z, and Central and Eastern LI towards 3-4z as the cold front is expected to increase in forward speed. A much drier air mass will ensue with the winds switching to the NW and becoming more N towards daybreak. Dewpoints will fall quickly through 60s from NW to SE across the area. By the pre- dawn hours look for dewpoints to get into the middle and upper 50s with a more refreshing and comfortable feel into Monday morning with gusts of 15 to 20 mph in places.

&& .SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/... During Monday expect a pleasant early summer day. Dewpoint readings should remain primarily in the 50s with temperatures a few degrees below normal with upper 70s to lower 80s for the afternoon. With the strong synoptic flow out of the N there is little chance for sea breeze development. Forecast soundings indicate some scattered cloud development in the 5 to 7 kft level with any daytime heating towards the late morning and afternoon. Otherwise expect a partly to mostly sunny day with a refreshing breeze out of the N. The pressure gradient relaxes Monday night with high pressure starting to settle just west of the area. With light winds and likely just a few clouds around 5 kft expect some radiational cooling across outlying areas. Temperatures should be able to fall into the lower and middle 50s in the coolest spots, with lower to middle 60s for the metro and along much of the coast. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... No major changes were made to the Long Term and closely followed the NBM. High pressure will remain in control Tuesday and Wednesday before shifting offshore Wednesday night as a warm front lifts to the north. A cold front will follow, but will likely not move through the area and may remain to our north into early next weekend. Will have to watch the evolution of any middle level impulses as they ride along the periphery of the ridge. These are difficult to resolve at this time range, but they may be a focus for showers and thunderstorms. Right now the consensus of the modeling indicates a bit higher probability on Friday and potentially Saturday compared to Thursday. Temperatures remain seasonable on Wednesday. The deterministic NBM has trended down a bit for the end of the week, but still should reach above normal levels, with highs in the upper 80s to lower 90s away from the coast. Similar readings are expected through Saturday. Humidity levels will also be on the rise for the end of the week into next Saturday. && .AVIATION /00Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...

A cold front passes through this evening with high pressure building in behind it through Monday. VFR, but possible brief MVFR in -shra before 02z. Winds shift NW-NNW by 03z for most terminals. Gusts around 20kt tonight behind the front, mainly for the city terminals. NNW-N winds increase Monday morning to around 15kt with gusts near 25kt. ...NY Metro (KEWR/KLGA/KJFK/KTEB) TAF Uncertainty... Gusts tonight might be only occasional. OUTLOOK FOR 00Z TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY... Monday night: VFR. S wind gusts 15-20 kt Wednesday afternoon into Wednesday early evening. Thursday: MVFR or lower possible with any late day or nighttime showers/tstms. Friday: MVFR or lower possible with a chance of showers and tstms.

&& .MARINE...
-- Changed Discussion --
There is forecast to be some 25 kt gusts on the ocean with some parts of the ocean getting around 5 ft seas this evening. Small craft advisory remains in effect for the ocean until midnight. In addition, some thunderstorms could also bring brief SCA level wind gusts. Otherwise sub-SCA conditions are expected through tonight. The winds quickly switch to the NW and N behind a cold frontal passage for tonight. On Monday high pressure builds with slowly subsiding seas with mainly sub small craft conditions, although the winds will be gusting close to 20 kt throughout all waters. The pressure gradient relaxes Monday night as north winds lighten and ocean seas subside closer to 2 ft towards early Tuesday morning. Sub advisory conditions will remain through at least Wednesday night for all waters as high pressure settles over the waters, then moves offshore. Marginal small craft conditions become more likely late Thursday as a southerly flow increases, with possible small craft seas on the ocean into Friday.

&& .HYDROLOGY...
-- Changed Discussion --
Besides any localized hydrological impacts from any stronger storms this evening, no hydrological impacts are expected through Wednesday. A frontal boundary and pre-frontal trough are likely to approach late Thursday into Friday, and possibly linger to begin next weekend. It remains too early to determine the risk of any hydrological impacts from this frontal system.
