Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service New York NY 1202 AM EDT Fri Apr 3 2020

SYNOPSIS. Deep low pressure well east of Long Island meanders through Friday night, and then tracks out into the Atlantic. High pressure will build across on Saturday before a weak cold front crosses the area Sunday night. High pressure then briefly returns on Monday, followed by an approaching frontal system for the middle of next week.

NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/. Light rain continues to move westward from the retrograding low pressure system offshore. There may be several bands of rain that move west-southwestward through the early morning hours. The light rain may move over portions of the NYC metro during the early morning hours, but the highest probabilities are located across Eastern Long Island and Southern Connecticut.

Winds will continue gusting 25-30 mph at times, especially near the coast.

Lows will generally be in the 40s.

SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/. As the low pulls away on Friday, the low will continue to circulate clouds and patches of showers through the area, with the better chance for southern and eastern parts of the region during Friday morning and into the early afternoon. Chance POPs were carried for far western and northwestern interior sections due to farther proximity to the low. By Friday afternoon the low will begin to make a turn to eject east. The best chance of showers comes with a couple of embedded spokes of energy that transverse the area from northeast to southwest, which is not something we typically see. By Friday afternoon the peak wind gusts again should get to about 25 to 30 mph, although with an occluding and weakening low expect the gusts to not be as frequent as earlier, especially into Friday night.

By Friday evening the precip chances begin to lower quickly from west to east as the low finally ejects east and out to sea. Breaks in the clouds should develop across western sections, with even a few patches of clearing possible later at night. The clouds however should hold across eastern sections, especially east of NYC. Total rainfall from the system should be generally less than a quarter of an inch, with perhaps far Eastern LI and Eastern CT getting to around a quarter of an inch due to their proximity to some of the more sturdy rain bands from the low.

For the start of the weekend partly sunny skies should attempt to develop on Saturday, although some high RH at around 5 kft may limit the amount of sunshine. A disturbance shown by some of the global guidance may then try to slide down the front side of an approaching ridge into late Saturday and Saturday evening. Kept showers out of the forecast for now after collaboration with neighboring offices, but cannot completely rule out showers moving down out of the northwest during late Saturday and Saturday night. The limiting factor for showers would be dry air in the lower levels. Temperatures should average close to normal for Friday into Saturday and Saturday night.

LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/. High pressure drifts offshore on Sunday as a weakening cold front approaches from the west. This will result in a gradual increase in clouds north and west of the city, but with the front weakening as it reaches the local area, rain chances continue to look fairly limited. The best chance for a few showers will be late Sunday afternoon into Sunday evening across portions of the Lower Hudson Valley and interior southern Connecticut, with a few additional showers overnight across eastern Connecticut and Long Island as the front pushes east of the area. High pressure then briefly builds back across the area on Monday before quickly shifting offshore by evening.

Unsettled weather then returns for the middle of the week as a disorganized low pressure system traversing the middle of the country tries to lift a warm front towards the region Tuesday into Wednesday. Models then differ in the strength and position of high pressure over eastern Canada and the role it plays in potentially slowing an approaching low over southern Canada towards the end of the long term. Given the high degree of uncertainty, maintained a slight chance to chance of showers throughout the Tuesday-Thursday period, but suspect at least some portion of this period will end up remaining dry. These features should be better resolved over the coming days.

Temperatures will remain several degrees above normal through much of the long term, with highs generally in the upper 50s to lower 60s from NYC north and west and in the mid 50s across Long Island and coastal Connecticut. Overnight lows will generally fall into the low to mid 40s in typically cooler outlying locations and remain in the mid to upper 40s in the New York City metro area.

AVIATION /04Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/. Low pres will drift swd over the Atlc thru Fri.

VFR thru most of tngt, then cigs are expected to lower to MVFR late, and continue thru the rest of the TAF period.

Gusty NW winds will veer to the N on Fri. Strongest gusts will be mainly tonight.

OUTLOOK FOR 00Z SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY. Friday night. MVFR cigs, possibly improving to VFR at times. Chance evening showers. Saturday. MVFR cigs in the morning, then VFR. Saturday night. VFR, then MVFR cigs late. Sunday. Periods of MVFR. Monday and Tuesday. Mainly VFR.

MARINE. Gale Warnings will be up for the ocean E of Fire Island Inlet through at least Friday evening. Otherwise, SCA's remain in effect through Friday and Friday evening, with occasional gusts approaching minimum gale force at times.

Thereafter winds and seas will diminish, with seas coming down at a much slower pace. Seas will remain elevated for the ocean waters, thus small craft conditions will continue on the ocean, primarily due to high seas through the weekend. Ocean seas will remain elevated through the day on Sunday and into Sunday night before finally subsiding below 5 ft Monday morning. Sub-SCA conditions are then expected through the remainder of the period, with seas on the ocean remaining between 2-4 ft and wind gusts between 15-20 kt.

HYDROLOGY. No hydrologic impacts are expected through the period.

TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING. Tides may approach minor coastal flooding benchmarks around the high tide Friday morning for portions of the western Sound, and flood prone locations in the western back bays of Long Island. Persistent gusty northerly winds, building seas/swell/and rising astronomical tide levels will result in perhaps more widespread minor coastal flooding late Friday/Friday evening, and Saturday. Local moderate coastal flooding is possible Saturday morning.

EQUIPMENT. NYC NOAA Weather Radio Station KWO35 (162.55 MHz) is undergoing its final stages of testing, and is operating at full power.

OKX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES. CT . None. NY . None. NJ . None. MARINE . Small Craft Advisory until 6 PM EDT Friday for ANZ335-338. Small Craft Advisory until midnight EDT Friday night for ANZ330-340-345-355. Gale Warning until midnight EDT Friday night for ANZ350-353.
