Synopsis for massachusetts and rhode island coastal waters - High pressure remains anchored over new england and the nearby coastal waters through Sunday. A weak cold front then moves across new england Monday and offshore Monday night. Weak high pressure builds back over the area Tuesday. A series of weak lows then pass over or just south of new england mid to late next week.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service New York NY 1018 AM EDT Sat May 4 2024

SYNOPSIS
High pressure remains in place along the New England coast into tonight. A cold front then slowly approaches from the west on Sunday, eventually tracking through the region Monday. The boundary likely stalls to our south Monday afternoon through Wednesday before returning as a warm front late in the week.

NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/
Minor update to temperatures and dewpoints to better reflect current conditions. Otherwise, the forecast remains on track.

Amplified ridging aloft remains over the Eastern US today, with surface high pressure in place along the New England coast.
This will maintain a persistent onshore flow through the weekend, and lead to cooler than typical temperatures for early May.

Meanwhile, a weak area of low pressure associated with a shortwave riding over the ridge passes well to the northwest through the Upper Great Lakes late in the day, sending a slow approaching frontal boundary toward the region. While a spotty shower can't be ruled out this afternoon, mainly in far western portions of the region, the day will be predominantly dry. Expect a fair amount of cloud cover, thickening into this evening as the ridge axis shifts offshore, allowing deeper moisture to advect into the area in the SW flow. This should lead to eastward expansion of shower coverage off to the west that very gradually begins to work in tonight, likely after midnight even for the farthest west locales.

With the return flow and cloud cover, temperatures this weekend run up to 10 degrees below normal, with afternoon highs in the low to mid 60s today, falling into the 40s overnight into Sunday AM.

SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/
By Sunday, the shortwave associated with an upper low over Central Canada attempts to break down the ridging over the East Coast, with the surface front draped along the Midwest starting to make progress eastward. Guidance continues to advance this boundary quite slowly, with the fropa perhaps not occurring locally until Monday. Ahead of it, plenty of deep moisture in the column and weak lift should instigate shower activity by the mid morning, at least for the western half of the region, before spreading east by the afternoon. Showers may continue intermittently into Sunday night before tapering west to east.
QPF appears light with this activity, generally ranging from a quarter to a half inch.

The shortwave energy pushes offshore Monday with the surface boundary stalling to our south and west. Ridging builds once again across the Great Lakes in response to a large upper low over the Northern Plains and Northern Rockies. Latest guidance is less enthused about energy riding under this and interacting with the stalled boundary, which would allow a return of steadier rain chances depending on placement. Trimmed back PoPs Monday night as a result, though still not out of the question a few showers make it into Long Island from the south. After the chilly Sunday in the low to mid 50s for most, temperatures rebound on Monday in SW flow back into the 70s across the interior and areas away from maritime influence.

LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/
Tuesday begins with high pressure to our north and a stationary front across the Mid-Atlantic. This front is expected to slowly push north towards us as a warm front through the day. Looks like most of the day will be dry, but still a low threat of showers over roughly the western half of the forecast area - closer to the deeper moisture and lift.

A ridge aloft flattens Tuesday night into Wednesday with a surface low tracking east across the northern Great Lakes. The warm front will continue to try to push into the forecast area during this time, however a synoptic onshore flow off of cold waters along with influence from low pressure over the Canadian Maritimes with both serve to hold this front to our south. Chance of showers for this period, and maybe even a rumble of thunder Weds afternoon with elevated instability pushing in from the west.

The surface low to our north then weakens with the flattening ridge aloft Weds night into Thursday with another wave of low pressure heading east - this time tracking through the southern Great Lakes/Ohio Valley. The boundary to our south doesn't make much progress as the surface low is weak along with no significant llj to help push the front northward. PoPs however increase in the afternoon into nighttime with the approach of the surface low and associated moisture and lift.

Best guess right now is that this system shifts through at some point Thursday night into Friday, but there's uncertainty with this timing. There's also the potential of yet another wave of pressure forming to our west and maintaining rain chances through all of Friday.

NBM was used for temperatures through the long term.

AVIATION /15Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/

High pressure remains in place through tonight.

VFR into early evening, then MVFR develops later this evening, with cigs lowering to IFR overnight. A shower possible starting late this afternoon, however rainfall doesn't become likely until Sunday afternoon.

ESE-SE winds around 10kt through the TAF period.

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

Timing of IFR onset may be forecast to be a couple of hours too soon, and even possible that cigs do not lower to IFR at all tonight.

OUTLOOK FOR 12Z SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

Sunday...MVFR/IFR. Showers likely mainly in the afternoon. SE winds G15-20kt.

Monday...MVFR/IFR in the morning, then MVFR/VFR in the afternoon.

Tuesday...VFR.

Wednesday...MVFR or lower with a chance of showers.

MARINE
Sub-SCA conditions can be expected through the weekend with high pressure along the New England coast maintaining an easterly or southeasterly flow across the waters and speeds generally at or under 10 kt.

Winds and seas should then remain below SCA criteria through the middle of next week with a weak pressure gradient in place.

HYDROLOGY
There are currently no hydrologic concerns through next week.

TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING
Astronomical tides will increase with the approach of a new moon Tuesday night along with the threat of minor coastal flooding each night through this period and possibly including Wednesday night as well.

A coastal flood statement has been issued for this evening's high tide cycle across Southern Fairfield County with benchmarks expected to be just reached in a few spots. Statements may be expanded to include Southern Westchester and Southern Nassau Counties for Sunday night. Advisories may eventually be needed for these zones and Southern Queens Monday night, and even more so for Tuesday night.
Statements may be needed during this period for other parts along western LI Sound as well as lower NY Harbor.
