Fxus61 kokx 230006 afdokx area forecast discussion national weather service new york ny 806 pm edt Thu aug 22 2019 Synopsis A cold front moves through the region tonight. High pressure then builds to the north Friday through this weekend, and across the canadian maritimes early next week. Low pressure may pass south and east of the local area during the middle of next week, followed by a slow moving cold front late in the week. Near term until 6 am Friday morning Showers and thunderstorms in association with an approaching cold front are moving through portions of the lower hudson valley and northeast new jersey as of 8 pm. These storms may be strong to possibly severe, especially in new jersey into southern portions of new york city, where a severe thunderstorm warning was issued until 845 pm. Also, some showers and isolated thunderstorms may develop out ahead of this boundary, so lesser chances for towards eastern areas, until this main area of showers moves east with the cold front. The cold front is expected to pass through overnight. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to move through, and it appears that outside of the activity currently NW of the city, the better coverage will arrive towards midnight as lift is enhanced by a low level jet moving through the forecast area. This jet will also provide some wind shear to maintain a chance of strong wind gusts with some thunderstorms, but the overall threat of any severe wind gusts is low as CAPE will be diminishing by this point. Flash flooding would be a low threat given the forward speed of the storms. Rain chances then diminish towards daybreak. Heat index values so far within the advisory have been primarily below 95, and are expected to remain that way for the rest of the day. Have therefore cancelled the heat advisory. A moderate rip current risk remains into this evening along the ocean beaches. Short term 6 am Friday morning through Friday night Morning showers are possible with an approaching upper level jet combining with lingering moisture. Although the right entrance region of this jet will be approaching us through the day, the drying and stable airmass building in behind the cold front will counteract this, so dry in the afternoon. Mid and upper level clouds probably linger however, and chances of a mostly clear sky improve towards the end of the day. Dewpoints will be in the 50s so it will feel much less humid than it has been, and high temperatures end up a few degrees below normal.

Further clearing of the sky occurs Friday night with high pressure building in. Lows dropping into the 50s for the northern suburbs and pine barrens region. There is a moderate rip current risk Friday along the ocean beaches. Long term Saturday through Thursday Latest nwp model suite showing good agreement across north america into early next week. By tue, the global models deviate significantly off the east coast along with timing and amplitude differences with a trough cutoff over south central canada and into the plains. A dry, cooler and less humid airmass prevails over the weekend with highs generally in the 70s, which is below normal for this time of year. As deep layered ridging builds from the west, a weak cutoff low develops over the northeast. Not expecting any showers as a result of this with the lack of a cold pool aloft. However, as the associated sfc high builds to the north across se canada and increasing easterly flow will develop. This pattern is indicative of stratus development and possibly some light rain or drizzle Sun sun night. This feature lifts north and east on mon, as another low off the carolina approaches. The energy associated with this low is currently in the bahamas and needs to be watched over the next several days for tropical development. Although both the GFS and ec track it well south and east of the local area mid next week, while the cmc shears it apart off the coast of florida. Meanwhile, an upper level trough over the plains gradually traverses east through Thu but as mentioned above there are timing and amplitude differences with this so the timing of the associated frontal system is uncertain. Temps will increase back to normal levels Wed and Thu with higher humidity levels as well due to a southerly flow. Aviation 00z Friday through Tuesday A cold front will move through late overnight into early Friday morning. MainlyVFR, with a chance of showers and thunderstorms through 06z, moving east northeastward through the terminals. Brief MVFR conditions are possible with the storms. Winds are variable and generally light, less than 10 kt. Winds will become NW to N as the front moves into the terminals, and increase to around 10 kt. N to NW winds continue through Friday.

It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
