Synopsis for the long island and connecticut coastal waters - High pressure slides south of the area as a weak disturbance moves through tonight and into the beginning of Monday. High pressure then builds back across the area Monday night, lingering through mid- week before heading out into the atlantic for the latter half of the week. A series of frontal system then approaches from the west Thursday through next weekend.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Albany NY 358 PM EDT Sun Jun 2 2024
SYNOPSIS
A weak disturbance moving over the region tonight will increase clouds and bring some isolated showers or sprinkles. High pressure builds back in from the northwest to open the week with mainly dry weather and above normal early June temperatures.
Humidity levels will slightly increase on Tuesday with an isolated shower or thunderstorm over the higher terrain, as a much stronger system approaches from the west for late Wednesday through Thursday with widespread showers and scattered thunderstorms.
NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/
As of 358 PM EDT...The mid and upper level ridge axis near the forecast area over New England weakens, as a mid level disturbance approaches. The weak warm front associated with sfc low moving across the eastern Great Lakes Region has produced a few light showers upstream over west-central NY. Most of the pcpn continues to dry up moving east. A few light showers or sprinkles may reach the Adirondacks, western Mohawk Valley and the eastern Catskills. We kept some slight chance PoPs there.
The low-level moisture profiles remain very dry on model soundings.
Mid and high clouds will be abundant and it should be a milder night than the previous few, as the clouds should prevent ideal radiative coolings conditions. Lows were favored close to a METMOS/NBM blend with upper 50s to lower 60s in the major valleys and 50s mainly over the higher terrain.
SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/
Tomorrow, expect the mid and upper level flow to favor ridging to return over Ontario, the Great Lakes Region and the Midwest with a sfc anticyclone building in from southeast Canada. Light north to northwest winds will continue to funnel dry air over the region with dewpoints in the mid 40s to mid 50s or so.
Humidity levels remain comfortable. H850 temps will be +13C to +14C based on the latest GFS. Expect partly to mostly sunny skies. An isolated shower or thunderstorm may pop up over the southeast Catskills, mid Hudson Valley, southern Taconics and NW CT late in the afternoon. Max temps will run 5-10 degrees above normal with a blend of the guidance producing lower to mid 80s below 1000 ft in elevations and 70s to near 80F readings over the higher terrain.
Mon night the skies will become mostly clear with light winds as the sfc high moves over eastern NY and New England. Some radiational cooling will occur with light to calm winds. Lows will be mainly in the 50s but some pockets of 40s may occur in the southern Dacks.
Tue-Tue night...The mid level ridge axis moves over eastern NY and western New England. The sfc anticyclone drifts toward eastern New England. A weak sfc trough or a differential heating boundary may kick off a some isolated showers/thunderstorms over or near the higher terrain of the Adirondacks, southern Greens, Berkshires, Taconics and Catskills. PoPs were kept in the slight to low chance range. Humidity levels slightly increase with sfc dewpts in the 50s to lower 60s. Highs will be mainly in the 70s over the higher terrain with a few 80F readings and lower to mid 80s in the valleys. Any convection will shrivel with the loss of the diurnal heating. However, an increase of clouds may occur well after midnight south and west of the Capital District with some widely scattered showers ahead of a warm front. Lows will be in the mid 50s to lower 60s.
LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/
A shift to a more unsettled weather pattern begins in the mid week, as ridging over the Northeast begins to break down with a mid and upper level trough over the central Canadian Prairies becoming negatively tilted over the Great Lakes Region and the Midwest. A weak warm front will increase some clouds with isolated to scattered showers and the best chance of thunderstorms west of the Hudson River Valley on Wed. The medium range guidance and ensembles are leaning for greater probabilistic chances for showers and scattered thunderstorms Wed night into Thu with increasing height falls and a trough of low pressure moving across the region. PWATs increase to 1 to 2 STDEVS above normal in the 1.25-1.50" range by Thu. Some of the showers and thunderstorms may contain locally heavy rainfall.
WPC already has placed the entire forecast area in a Marginal Risk in the Day 5 Excessive Rainfall Graphic. It will the first widespread rainfall in over a week. PoPs were kept in the likely range on Thu. Max temps Wed will be in the 70s to lower 80s with moderate humidity levels. Lows will be in the mild side Wed night with mid 50s to mid 60s. In the unsettled air mass on Thu, expect highs to be near or slightly below normal with 60s to lower over the higher terrain and mid 70s to around 80F in the Valleys.
A broad mid and upper level trough sets up over the Great Lakes Region, southeast Canada into the Northeast. The H500 circulation closes off upstream with short-waves moving around it Thu night into the weekend. In the cyclonic flow, periods/bouts of showers and some thunderstorms will be possible Fri and Sat into the afternoon.
Depending on the strength of the cold pool some hail may be possible. A few of the thunderstorms may be on the stronger side.
The better forcing on Friday may be from the Capital Region north and west. CSTAR warm season work has documented the sensible and significant weather with closed/cut-off lows, as some locations could receive appreciable rainfall with any showers/thunderstorms moving repeatedly over the same area. Lows Thu and Fri night will be in the 50s to lower 60s. Highs Friday will be in the mid 60s to upper 70s with cooler readings in the 60s to lower/mid 70s with the upper low coming overhead on Saturday.
The track of the mid and upper low poleward over Quebec late in the weekend or if the closed H500 circulation lingers over eastern NY and New England will depend on the shower/thunderstorm coverage to close the weekend. We have kept isolated to scattered showers in the forecast with a few thunderstorms possible, as temps finish the weekend near to slightly below normal.
AVIATION /20Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/
Flying conditions are currently VFR across the region with sct-bkn cirrus clouds and light south to southeast winds. Through the rest of the afternoon and into the evening hours, flying conditions will remain VFR. Mid and high level clouds will continue to increase across the area as a weak disturbance approaches from the west. A few showers may try to spread towards the area this evening, but low levels are very dry, so won't mention any precip in the TAFs at this time, as any precip will be very spotty and very light. As a result, flying conditions should stay VFR into tonight with bkn cigs around 7-12 kft. Light south to southwest winds will eventually go calm or switch to the northwest by late in the overnight at light speeds.
On Monday, flying conditions will be VFR once again. Mid and high level clouds will decrease during the morning hours, with most sites only seeing sct cigs around 10-12 kft by the late morning hours.
Light north to northwest winds at 5 kts or less are expected through much of the day.
