Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service New York NY 803 PM EDT Wed Aug 5 2020

SYNOPSIS. A weak cold front will push offshore tonight and stall just south of the area on Thursday. A series of frontal waves will then track along the boundary Thursday night through early Saturday. High pressure builds into the area for Sunday and Monday.

NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/. Drier air was moving into the region behind a cold front, and dew points were lowering quickly. Also, cu was gradually dissipating. Updated temperatures and dew points for current conditions.

An upper low will lift northeast across eastern Canada tonight into Friday morning before heading out into the north Atlantic. At the surface, a weak cold front will move through the area tonight with high pressure building in from the west. A dry, capped airmass will result in a dry frontal passage. The front stalls just to the south of the area on Thursday.

SW winds this evening will become light northerly overnight. Lows will be near normal with readings ranging from the lower 60s inland to around 70 at the coast.

There is a high rip current risk at the ocean beaches through this evening.

SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY/. Expecting a mainly dry day on Thursday as shortwave ridging builds across the area ahead of a weak upper trough moving into the Ohio Valley. There is some weak mid level shortwave energy in the SW flow aloft tomorrow with some of the guidance hinting at the potential for a few showers north and west of NYC. Preference at this time is to keep it out of the forecast area with dry air in the subcloud layer and little if any instability.

Mid level clouds will be on the increase with mostly cloudy skies anticipated by Thursday afternoon. The stalled frontal boundary to the south will then steer a series of frontal waves across the area Thursday night into Friday. Chances for showers will increase Thursday night into Friday with the potential for an isolated thunderstorm on Friday. Instability is limited due to cloud cover and an easterly flow.

There is some uncertainty with the northward extent of the rain with the GFS the most bullish of the guidance with half an inch to an inch of rainfall at the coast. The ECMWF and NAM are a bit more suppressed and took a middle road approach looking at quarter to half inch at the coast and less inland.

The cloud cover and showers will keep highs near 80 both days with lows in the mid 60s to around 70.

There is a moderate risk of rip currents at the ocean beaches on Thursday.

LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/. A nearly stationary frontal boundary will be south of Long Island Friday night as surface waves of low pressure move along the boundary. Meanwhile, and mid and upper level short waves will be moving into the region by 12Z Saturday. This wave will move out the stalled frontal boundary early Saturday as the trough axis passes east around 18Z Saturday. Consensus is indicating a chance of precipitation into Friday night, and shifting east into early Saturday. There will be sufficient CAPE and instability along the front for isolated to scattered thunderstorms.

Upper ridging builds behind the shortwave later Saturday into the beginning of next week, 12Z Monday. A weak and low amplitude shortwave moves through Monday and may trigger showers and thunderstorms. Surface instability and CAPE will be increasing during the day with daytime heating. Lapse rates will also be steep enough for convection. Heat and humidity will be building Tuesday into Wednesday as return flow remains. However, increasing clouds and the chance of precipitation may limit the heat Wednesday. With a large closed low over southeastern Canada Tuesday into Wednesday a surface cold front will be approaching and may stall in the area Wednesday.

There is a moderate risk of rip currents at the ocean beaches on Friday.

AVIATION /00Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/. A weak cold front will move south of Long Island tonight and stall offshore Thursday. Low pressure wave approaches along the front Thursday night into Friday.

VFR conditions are expected through Thursday with a chance for MVFR in showers Thursday night, mainly late. S-SW winds will be near 10 kt into the middle of this evening and then less than 10 kt through the rest of the TAF period. Wind direction will be variable late tonight and then more E-SE for Thursday before becoming variable again Thursday night.

OUTLOOK FOR 00Z FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY. Thursday night. Chance of rain showers. Chance of MVFR, mainly late. Friday. Chance of rain showers. Isolated thunderstorms. Chance of MVFR. Saturday-Monday. Mainly VFR.

MARINE. Sub-SCA conditions are forecast on the waters to close out the week. A series of weak frontal waves will then impact the waters with showers (possibly a thunderstorm) Thursday night into early Saturday.

High pressure then builds into the waters into the beginning of next week. Winds and seas will remain below SCA levels across all the forecast waters through Monday night.

HYDROLOGY. No significant hydrologic impacts are expected into early next week.

EQUIPMENT. KBDR ASOS is not reporting at this time due to a power outage.

OKX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES. CT . None. NY . High Rip Current Risk until 9 PM EDT this evening for NYZ075- 080-081-178-179. NJ . None. MARINE . None.

In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
