Fxus61 kokx 260540 afdokx area forecast discussion national weather service new york ny 140 am edt Mon aug 26 2019 Synopsis High pressure will remain over new england through tonight and then drift offshore on Tuesday. A cold front gradually approaches Tuesday night into Wednesday and passes through the region Wednesday night into early Thursday. High pressure returns briefly Friday before another cold front passes through late Friday into Saturday. High pressure builds over the northeast Saturday and Sunday. Near term until 6 am this morning High pressure continues to build over new england early this morning. Stratus clouds are moving to the west on an onshore flow. There may be some expansion of these low level clouds especially near the coast through day break. Dry conditions are expected with temperatures in the lower 50s inland and in the mid 50s to around 60 along the coast. Short term 6 am this morning through 6 pm Tuesday Low level moisture will linger into Monday morning as an easterly flow continues with high pressure remaining north of the region. This will result in mostly cloudy conditions along the coast Monday morning with conditions improving by Monday afternoon. Temperatures on Monday will be in the mid 70s. There is a high risk of rip current development at the atlantic ocean beaches through Monday evening. Long term Tuesday night through Sunday The extended period Tuesday through Saturday is fairly consistent with the previous forecast. Ridging from northern new england and along the mid atlantic seaboard will drift into the western atlantic early Tuesday as a longwave trough from near alaska digs into the northern plains and upper midwest. This longwave trough will send a couple of cold fronts through the region late Wednesday night into early Thursday and then Friday into Saturday. The strongest front will be the first one. The changes with this front, is a quicker passage, and less forcing along the front as the upper trough is now lifting farther to the north and retrograding slowly. So, will still have chance probabilities. With the longwave upper trough weakening Thursday and Friday and the flow more zonal the next front will be even weaker than earlier expected, with little moisture. As a result, this front is now forecast to come through dry. With the front Wednesday into early Thursday both CAPE and instability will be limited, so will have showers with only slight chances of thunder, and mainly across the inland, until later across the marine areas, right with the frontal passage. Higher pressure then builds in for the upcoming labor day weekend. Aviation 06z Monday through Friday High pressure will remain over new england through Monday night before departing to the east on Tuesday. Forecast challenge is how far west MVFR ceilings over SE new england work overnight. For the time, have confined it to kgon

and kisp after 06z. The best chance would be at kgon (which briefly had a period of MVFR ceilings prior to 06z). Winds do become more northerly overnight which may keep the lower ceilings to the east of the terminals. This pattern will keep the area under a ne-e flow during the time period with backing to the NE tonight and then veering more to the E as the day progresses on Monday. Outside of a few gusts into the teens this evening winds will be 10-15 kt at the coastal terminals and 5-10 kt at the inland terminals. Outlook for 06z Tuesday through Friday Mon night-tue Vfr. Wed MVFR or lower possible in showers and thunderstorms. Thu MainlyVFR. Morning showers possible. Fri Vfr. Marine Gusty northeast to east winds remain across the ocean waters, with seas up to 5 to 8 ft on average overnight. Winds and gusts will only subside a couple of knots overnight. SCA remains in effect on the ocean and GOES through Monday night. Winds should gradually diminish on Monday, but seas will remain above small craft advisory conditions through Monday night. Hydrology No hydrologic impacts are anticipated through the end of the week. Tides coastal flooding A prolonged period of easterly flow will gradually increase tide levels into mid week. Localized minor coastal flooding is possible with Monday evening high tides along the south shore back bays of queens and nassau counties, with the threat of at least isolated minor coastal flooding continuing during the evening high tide cycles through the mid week period.

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.
