Synopsis for the long island and connecticut coastal waters.. High pressure off the southeastern coast will remain in control through tonight and into early Friday. A weak wave of low pressure then passes slowly through the region late Friday through Friday night. A weak wave of low pressure moves across Saturday night, followed by another weak low being nearby later Sunday and Sunday night. A weak trough moves through on Monday. A clipper low moves south and offshore for mid week.

SYNOPSIS
High pressure off the southeastern coast will remain in control through tonight and into early Friday. A weak wave of low pressure then passes slowly through the region late Friday through Friday night. A weak wave of low pressure moves across Saturday night, followed by another weak low being nearby later Sunday and Sunday night. A weak trough moves through on Monday. A clipper low moves south and offshore for mid week, followed by high pressure nosing in from the southwest for late in the week.
NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/
Near zonal upper flow will remain through tonight as a dampening southern stream shortwave moves toward the Ohio Valley. At the surface high pressure off the southeastern states will remain in place. A return flow will remain tonight and with mostly clear skies temperatures will fall off quickly after sunset, and then level off, and fall more slowly late tonight as upper level clouds increase and warm advection increases. Used a blend of the NBM and MOS guidance for overnight lows, which will be a few degrees above seasonal normals for the first day of meteorological winter, December 1.
SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/
The weak upper shortwave moving through the near zonal flow continues to weaken and flatten Friday and shears out into a broad flat wave by 12Z Saturday with the wave east of the Great Lakes and into upstate New York. Lift will be weak, but increasing later Friday as warm advection strengthens with increasing isentropic lift. Also, a low level jet streak will enhance lift later Friday into Friday night. The timing for the onset of precipitation is slightly later than previous forecasts, with the rain arriving in the western and northern area mid to late Friday afternoon. There may be enough cold air in place at the onset of precipitation for a few flurries across the higher terrain of Orange County. Much of the energy with the upper wave tracks to the north of the region, and with the flat flow the system will remain progressive. Precipitation will be mainly occurring Friday night, ending late Friday and toward Saturday morning. With mid level drying and the lower levels remaining saturated, especially toward the coast, a period of light rain and drizzle will be possible.
LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/
A complicated pattern in the long term with a series of waves of low pressure to monitor.
To begin the period ridging off the SE coast and into Hispaniola will have temperatures starting off milder overall.
Temperatures should get well into the 50s to start the weekend on Saturday despite a good deal of clouds in advance of weak low pressure moving quickly from SW to NE. Mainly just some thermal forcing with this system. Vertical motion will be fairly weak with a lack of strong advection both in terms of temperature and vorticity. The system will be rather progressive, therefore look for a plain light rain with milder air preceding the system. The most likely period of measurable rain for the weekend is Sat night with the first wave, followed by another brief period of high end chance / low end likely PoPs for late in the day Sunday and Sunday night more associated with the main trough pivoting through. Rainfall amounts summed from both waves of low pressure should not amount to more than a quarter to a half inch. Thus, likely under a quarter of an inch from both disturbances.
As the low associated with the upper levels begins to deepen as it pushes away on Monday a NW flow will increase. This will usher in on a NW flow another round of seasonably cold air. By late Monday night and into Tuesday temperatures will fall to normal levels, or perhaps a degree or two below normal. By Tuesday a clipper type low is expected to drive SE across the Eastern Plains and Midwest. The GFS is the least progressive with this system and actually has some semblance of it more amplitude to it compared to the other global guidance camps. The ECMWF is the most progressive with this spoke of energy and pushes the system just south of the area and well offshore. If the GFS deterministic solution is close to being correct then a touch of light snow would be possible Tuesday night into early Wed. The consensus of the guidance was followed and stayed close to the NBM PoPs. Have slight chance PoPs in case system does attempt to be less progressive as there is some semblance of a positive height anomaly in Davis Strait / Greenland and a 50/50 low. The gut feeling at this point is the system should be progressive enough with most of the precip likely staying off shore into early Wed.
High pressure is then progged to nose in from the southwest for later in the week. A milder SW flow may return towards the end of next week. Overall temperatures should average near to slightly below normal Tuesday through Thursday.
AVIATION /21Z 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.

As high pressure moves farther off shore of the southeastern coast and a cold front approaches from the northwest into this evening, the pressure gradient increases slightly and southwest wind gusts and ocean seas may approach SCA levels. The pressure gradient then weakens late tonight into Friday as a southern stream low moves into the Upper Midwest and central Mississippi Valley. A SCA for the ocean waters will remain in place through tonight for the marginal conditions. With conditions likely falling below advisory levels Friday morning, have cancelled the advisory for the eastern waters that was in effect Friday morning. Then with the low weakening gradually and moving into the region late Friday into Friday night, winds and seas on the ocean will remain below advisory levels through Friday night.
For the non ocean waters winds and seas remain below advisory levels tonight through Friday night.
Sub small craft conditions are expected through much of the weekend.
Late Sunday night and into Monday and Monday night in the wake of low pressure small craft conditions will become increasingly likely on the ocean waters. During the day on Monday and also into much of Monday night on a NW wind there will also be the possibility of small craft conditions on the near shore waters due to gusts around 25 kt.
Sub small craft conditions would then likely return for all waters on Tuesday.
