SYNOPSIS
A weak wave of low pressure well east of the Delmarva will drift southeast overnight as high pressure noses down from eastern New England and the Canadian Maritimes. The high will weaken on Friday as a cold front approaches from the west. The front will move through late Friday night into early Saturday, followed by a dry secondary cold frontal passage late day Saturday or Saturday evening. High pressure will then follow from Saturday night into early next week. A weak frontal system will impact the region mid week.
NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/
The lower stratus has dissipated as low level dry air moves into from the east. Removed any mention of drizzle and fog through the overnight. Otherwise, made only minor tweaks for temperatures and dew points, and winds/gusts.
Somewhat blocky pattern noted, with a series of omega blocks stretching from the NE Pacific all the way to wrn Europe, but with enough of a zonal jet across the Pacific and CONUS to the south to keep things somewhat progressive.
Skies will remain cloudy in the wake of a shortwave as moisture remains trapped beneath a subsidence inversion associated with the upper ridge. Low temps tonight per MOS guidance blend should be in the upper 30s inland and lower 40s along the coast and in the metro area.
SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY/
The sfc high will hang in early Fri morning, then slowly weaken and move east in the late morning and afternoon, with an onshore SE-S flow developing in the afternoon. A cold front begins to approach late Fri afternoon and should move across Fri night with showers, especially inland during the first half of Fri night (likely PoP), then across Long Island and S CT later Fri night (likely/cat PoP) as better low level thermal and moisture advection develops along the coast.
After some lingering AM showers mainly across ern Long Island and SE CT in the morning, dry conditions expected for Sat, with some partial sunshine developing. Downslope gusty W-NW flow and deep mixing to 750 mb late in the afternoon should allow temps to rise into the 60s throughout, possibly approaching 70 in urban NE NJ if not a little warmer just ahead of an approaching dry cold front late in the day.
LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/
High pressure will continue to build into the region through the second half of the weekend and remain in control of the weather through Tuesday with a zonal pattern and weak troughing pattern aloft.
Cold air advection will lead to cooler temps Saturday night into Sunday. Saturday night lows will be in the mid 30s to mid 40s, followed by highs on Sunday in the upper 50s/lower 60s. This looks to warm up thereafter with highs mostly into the 60s on Monday and Tuesday. Sunny skies are expected for much of Monday and Tuesday aided by high pressure.
A 500 mb trough shifts through the Great Lakes on Tuesday, with an associated weak surface low and cold front as it moves into NE Canada Wednesday into Thursday. Rain chances increase on Wednesday as this system moves across. Drier weather returns for Thursday. Temperatures fall back to a degree or two below normal behind the cold front on Thursday.
AVIATION /03Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/
Weak low pressure well to the southeast continues to drift farther southeast as high pressure builds in from the north through the overnight. The high then moves off the northeast coast Friday afternoon as a cold front approaches to the west.
Conditions have improved to VFR, with a chance of MVFR ceilings at times through 04Z to 05Z.
Showers may move into the western terminals late Friday afternoon, earlier than forecast. However, conditions likely remain VFR until toward 00Z Saturday.
Light NE winds continue overnight, and a few locations may become light and variable. Winds then shift to the E Friday 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 05Z.
OUTLOOK FOR 00Z 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.

Winds, gusts, and ocean seas were all a little lower than forecast and were updated to reflect current conditions. SCA seas remain on the ocean waters into Friday. Ocean seas may linger over 5 ft into Fri night or early Sat morning.
High pressure should then keep conditions at sub-advisory levels through at least Tue night. Conditions may build back to SCA levels on Wed with the next low pressure and associated cold front to approach.
