Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service New York NY 131 AM EDT Sun Sep 27 2020

SYNOPSIS. A weak low passes offshore tonight through Sunday but on the larger scale the region remains on the western side of a weak high pressure area based in the Western Atlantic. A cold front approaches the area Monday and Tuesday then stalls nearby. Disturbances ride along the front before it pushes east by Thursday or Friday.

NEAR TERM /UNTIL 10 AM THIS MORNING/. Some slight adjustments were made to forecast temperatures and cloud to better match observed trends. Smoothed out the minimum temperature field to convey less spatial spread with the abundant clouds and light onshore flow mitigating radiational cooling. Forecast lows range from the low to upper 60s. Lower clouds are developing and expanding within parts of the area. Mesoscale models including the HRRR and NARRE expand the lower clouds across the entire area overnight with some fog development as well. In addition, models show some light moisture across mainly the coast towards early Sunday morning and with forecast soundings showing most moisture in the low levels, so added in areas of fog and drizzle along the coast for late tonight into early Sunday morning. Kept fog more patchy farther away from the coast.

SHORT TERM /10 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM MONDAY/. A warmer than normal Sunday is expected. Following the passage of a weakening low in the morning, the high pressure system over the Atlantic Ocean becomes the dominate synoptic forcing for the Northeast. Persistent southerly winds continue to advect warm moist air into the forecast region. Could see precipitable water values around 1.5 inches which is enough for slight chance pop in the afternoon. Temperatures should reach the mid to upper 70s.

In the late afternoon and into the evening, an approaching shortwave from the Appalachian Mountains will have to be monitored. As this shortwave nears southern New York it could initiate light showers late Sunday evening and into the overnight hours. Regardless muggy conditions late Sunday may lead to another round of fog. Temperatures overnight should hold in the mid 60s throughout the Long Island and Southern Connecticut.

A moderate risk of rip currents at the Atlantic Ocean beaches will continue on Sunday due to a continued E-SE swell and E-SE winds.

LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/. A shortwave disturbance moves through the area on Monday and Monday night from the southwest ahead of an amplifying longwave trough digging into the Midwest and Great Lakes region. A large surface low pressure system develops over the Great Lakes and Southeastern Canada allowing for the flow over the area to be south-southwesterly through much of the first half of the week as we will be ahead of the associated cold front. This flow will allow ample moisture to advect into the region priming the environment for the potential of rain through much of the week. The cold front associated with this surface low will push east into the area but then looks to stall somewhere in the vicinity by mid-week. This will allow for disturbances to ride along the front from southwest to northeast allowing for the potential of showers and periods of rain through much of the week.

Models vary a bit as to how the areas of vorticity interact with each other as the longwave trough slows its progression east. The thinking is that an area of vorticity digs into the Southeastern US before rounding the base of the longwave trough and pushing through the region in the Wednesday to Thursday timeframe. The ECMWF is a bit slower in the passage of this disturbance as the area of vorticity gets cut off from the large-scale flow for a bit on Wednesday. The GFS and CMC have similar solutions with the main disturbance passing through on Wednesday night into early Thursday.

Regardless of the timing of this disturbance, ample moisture will be present under S-SW flow and since we will be positioned downstream of the large-scale trough, disturbances will continually move through the area allowing for the chance for rain showers, some of which may be heavy, through much of the week along with some embedded thunderstorms possible.

There is a moderate risk of rip currents at Atlantic Ocean beaches on Monday.

AVIATION /06Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/. A weak low passes offshore today, but on the larger scale the region remains on the western side of a weak high pressure area based in the Western Atlantic.

SE winds of 10 kts or less are expected through the TAF period.

In terms of category forecast, mainly IFR conditions are expected into this morning, mostly due to ceilings but also expecting some fog to form. KGON and KISP have a higher probability of getting sub-IFR visibilities.

For today, expecting a gradual lifting of the ceilings back to MVFR and then VFR in the afternoon but ceilings may very well stay MVFR to IFR for KISP and KGON. There will also be a possibility of rain showers as well mainly east of NYC terminals. IFR may return tngt.

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

Moderate confidence in magnitude of flight restrictions tonight. Timing of lowering flight categories and improvement today could be off by a few hours.

OUTLOOK FOR 06Z MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. Tonight. Chance of IFR/MVFR conditions. Slight chance of showers. Monday. Chance of IFR/MVFR conditions. Chance of showers, mainly during the day. Tuesday. Chance of IFR/MVFR conditions. A chance of showers. A slight chance of thunderstorms. S-SW wind gusts around 20 kt. Wednesday. IFR/MVFR with showers likely. SW wind gusts 15-20kt day into early evening. Thursday. Chance of MVFR. Chance of showers. SW wind gusts 15-20kt day into early evening.

Detailed information, including hourly TAF wind component forecasts, can be found at: http:/www.weather.gov/zny/n90

MARINE. Below SCA conditions are forecast through Tuesday with S to SE winds. Winds on the ocean approach SCA criteria ahead of a cold front on Tuesday night and seas rise above SCA criteria by Wednesday. SCA conditions on the ocean waters are forecast from Tuesday night through Thursday.

HYDROLOGY. No hydrologic impacts are anticipated at this time. However, a frontal boundary may stall close to the area midweek, increasing the chance for a more significant rainfall event.
