SYNOPSIS
High pressure over the area today will weaken as a cold front approaches the area from the west by tonight. The cold front moves through the area tonight and into early Saturday, followed by a secondary dry cold frontal passage Saturday afternoon.
High pressure builds in for the beginning of the week. A weak frontal system will impact the region mid- week. High pressure returns to end the week.

NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/
Forecast remains on track with only minor adjustments to account for the latest observations in temperature and dew point.

Surface high pressure over the area will remain in place early this morning and will gradually weaken and push out of the area as a cold front approaches from the west into the afternoon.
Mainly dry conditions are expected for much of the day today with the chance of showers increasing from west to east late into the afternoon and into the evening with the approach of the cold front. Highs will be in the middle to upper 50s.

Showers will likely continue overnight for much of the area as the front pushes through. Much of the rainfall should be tapering from west to east into early Saturday morning before completely moving out of the area by midday Saturday. Lows overnight will be in the middle to upper 40s.

SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/
Much of the rainfall should be tapering from west to east into early Saturday morning before completely moving out of the area by midday Saturday. Total rainfall accumulation of generally around a quarter inch or less is expected. Some areas to the northeast of the area may see between a quarter inch and a half inch of rain. A secondary cold front moves through during the afternoon and evening Saturday and while it is expected to be a dry passage, a stray shower can't be ruled out. Temperatures on Saturday should rebound nicely with highs in the middle to potentially upper 60s for much of the area.

Surface high pressure will attempt to build back in from the west Saturday night and into the second half of the weekend, allowing for generally dry conditions with mostly clear skies.
Highs Sunday will be a bit cooler than Saturday with temperatures in the upper 50s expected. With high pressure building in and skies clearing out, lows both Saturday and Sunday night may drop into the 30s for inland areas.

LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/
High pressure will remain in control of the weather through Tuesday.

A 500mb trough will move through the Great Lakes on Tuesday with an associated weak surface low and cold front. This system will approach the region Tuesday night and move across the area on Wednesday. Expect rain chances to increase Tuesday night into Wednesday. The cold front moves east of the region Wednesday night with drier weather returning to end the week.

Temperatures will remain near normal through much of the long term period, except for Thursday, when temperatures will be a few degrees below normal.

AVIATION /10Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/
High pressure builds in from the north and then moves off the northeast coast this afternoon as a cold front approaches to the west. The cold front will move across the area tonight.

Conditions have improved to VFR, with a chance of MVFR ceilings at times through 08Z.

Showers may move into the western terminals late this afternoon.
However, conditions likely remain VFR until 00Z Saturday. Conditions are then likely to fall to MVFR and IFR tonight.

Light NE winds continue through daybreak, and a few locations may become light and variable. Winds then shift to the E mid morning and then SE late Friday morning into Friday afternoon.

...NY Metro (KEWR/KLGA/KJFK/KTEB) TAF Uncertainty...

MVFR ceilings are possible at times until around 08Z. Timing of showers and lower cigs Friday afternoon may be off by an hour or two.

OUTLOOK FOR 06Z SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...

Friday night: MVFR with showers in the evening, lowering to IFR late with showers.

Saturday: MVFR or lower with showers ending in the early morning, becoming VFR. W-WNW winds G15-25 kt possible late.

Sunday: VFR. W winds G15-20 kt possible near the coast in the afternoon/evening.

Monday and Tuesday: VFR.

MARINE
SCA seas remain on the ocean waters through today with waves near or just over 5 feet. Ocean seas may linger over 5 feet into tonight or early Saturday morning, so the SCA may need to be extended.

High pressure should then keep conditions at sub-advisory levels through at least Tuesday night. Conditions may build back to SCA levels on Wednesday with the next low pressure and associated cold front to approach.

HYDROLOGY
No hydrologic impacts expected through next Thursday.
