Synopsis for the long island and connecticut coastal waters.. High pressure will be in control through tonight. A weak wave of low pressure then passes nearby Friday afternoon into evening, with a weak trough of low pressure remaining nearby on Saturday. A frontal boundary then lingers nearby to the south Saturday night into Sunday. Low pressure developing along the front will pass to the south on Sunday and then move farther out to sea on Monday.

SYNOPSIS
High pressure will be in control through tonight. A weak wave of low pressure then passes nearby Friday afternoon into evening, with a weak trough of low pressure remaining nearby on Saturday. A frontal boundary then lingers nearby to the south Saturday night into Sunday. Low pressure developing along the front will pass to the south on Sunday and then move farther out to sea on Monday. High pressure will build from the west for Tuesday and Wednesday.

NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/
The forecast is mainly on track. Cloud cover was adjusted downward as observations and satellite imagery are both indicating nearly clear skies. Otherwise, did the usual adjustments to temperatures, dew points, and winds for current conditions.

The region will be under the influence of high pressure centered over the western Atlantic today and tonight. Dry weather, with SW winds will help raise high temperatures above yesterday's levels. Radiational cooling could be offset for a few hours tonight with the potential of cirrus passing through.
Went with an even blend of MAV/MET/NBM for tonight's lows for spots that typically experience stronger radiational cooling.

SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY/
A jet streak with enhanced lift will be shifting through the Ohio Valley/Eastern Great Lakes during the day Friday and passing to our north Friday evening. Its position relative to the forecast area has trended less favorably for upper divergence. Still, some models suggest a very weak low center passing through or nearby us, so associated isentropic lift and a mid-level shortwave will combine with the available moisture for the likelihood of rain Friday afternoon and evening. Mid- level drying occurs occurs overnight and lasts into Saturday. At the same time, weak theta-e ridging and isentropic lift bring a slight chance of light rain or drizzle late Friday night through Saturday. With the lack of ice nucleation, will need to monitor surface temperature trends for freezing drizzle potential well NW of the city as progged temperatures are in the mid 30s for an extended period. Left out the mention of fog late Friday night into Saturday morning as approx 20kt winds at the base of a low level inversion should provide enough turbulent mixing with the lingering low level moisture to favor low stratus over fog.

NBM looked good for temperatures Friday through Saturday.

LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/
An unsettled period is likely from Sat night into Monday as western Atlantic ridging gives way to a broad longwave troughing with embedded shortwaves. There will be a chance for some light rain or drizzle initially from Sat night into Sunday with a stationary front lingering to the south and a NE flow becoming established. Best chances for rain look to be from late day Sunday into Monday morning as low pressure developing over the Mid Atlantic region approaches and then passes to the south.
Temps during this period will be above normal.

CAA on the back side of the low will then bring dry wx on a gusty NW flow, but with cyclonic low level flow promoting partly to mostly cloudy skies especially Tue afternoon/night.
Temps will be cooling to near normal on Tue, and a little below normal on Wed.

AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/
VFR as high pressure remains to the south. SW winds are around 10 kts through the afternoon/evening. Winds look to weaken by morning. Tomorrow will be VFR before a ceilings drop to MVFR.
possible IFR, at times, after 18Z to 00Z with rain arriving.

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

No unscheduled amendments expected.

OUTLOOK FOR 18Z FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY...

Friday: Rain in the afternoon and at night with MVFR or lower cond.

Saturday: Chance of light rain or drizzle, with MVFR or lower cond possible.

Sunday: Rain with MVFR or lower cond likely. N winds G15-20kt NYC metro/coast late at night.

Monday: Chance of rain. MVFR or lower cond likely especially AM.
NW winds G20kt.

Tuesday: Chance of rain early, VFR by the afternoon. NW winds G20kt.

MARINE
Winds and gusts observations on the ocean waters were a few knots lower than forecast and adjustments were made. Seas continue to be near 4 feet.

Winds and seas start increasing this afternoon into tonight with the pressure gradient tightening a little. SCA remains in effect for the ocean starting at 3 PM this afternoon, then ending at 6 AM Fri W Fire Island Inlet and until 12 PM east.

SCA cond are also likely on all waters Sunday night into Mon night with the approach and passage of intensifying offshore low pressure. A few NW gale force gusts may be possible on the ocean waters Mon night.

HYDROLOGY
There are no hydrologic concerns through next Wednesday.
