.SYNOPSIS...
A warm front lifts north of the area late tonight into early
Monday morning. Low pressure consolidates just north of the
Canadian border during Monday and drags a pair of cold fronts
through Monday night and Tuesday morning. High pressure builds
in through Wednesday, then a frontal system quickly works into
the region on Thursday, potentially stalling near the area
through the weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
The warm front is making slow progress north this evening having
just passed Atlantic City across Southern NJ. It will take
several hours longer for it to reach the coast with the latest
HRRR bringing it onshore between 12-2am. The front may hang up a
bit as it reaches the area before getting a boost to the north
of the area around or shortly after day break. A LLJ will ramp
up, especially across Long Island and southern CT.

The main concern for the rest of the night will be low clouds
and potential fog development. As the warm front draws closer,
visibilities should begin lowering. However, confidence is low
on whether the fog becomes dense or remains somewhere between
1/2sm-3sm. Some weak thermal forcing will pass across the first
half of the night bringing with it some light rain mainly for
the western half of the area.

Once the warm front lifts north of a specific area, winds will
shift from the E-NE to the S and could even become gusty. This
is most likely along the coast late tonight. Temperatures will
also begin rising late tonight.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY/...
The warm front lifts north during the morning. The cloud deck
overall should gradually lift some, with cloudy skies remaining with
a strong warm advection pattern ensuing. Some guidance is suggesting
that fog may attempt to stick around a little longer than
anticipated for Monday morning. A difficult call since this time of
year regarding the warm sector as it can get rather complicated with
advection off the colder ocean. A strong synoptic gradient will be
in place with a S to SSW flow regime, thus overall expecting the
lowest clouds to break and dissipate. A few showers from time to
time are on the table through the early afternoon, but it may
actually not be raining much of the time. Most of the forcing will
reside west of the area through a good portion of the day. It really
shouldn`t be until later in the afternoon that showers should become
more widespread with scattered shower activity beginning to fill in
with higher moisture values and higher PWATs advecting in. By late
in the day and evening PWAT values begin to climb into the 1.25 to
1.50 inch range. SPC has placed far western portions of the area in
a Slight Risk of severe weather, with a marginal risk into the NYC
metro. With the forcing ramping up CAM guidance indicates a
potential squall line by early evening for the western part of the
area which would likely weaken as it encounters maritime dominated
air as it gets further east. Despite overall CAPE being limited,
some stronger wind gusts cannot be ruled out (especially west of the
NYC metro) with any convection that can get going for the evening.
Overall, the convection should allow some embedded heavier shower
activity to pivot through the region. With the southerly flow off
the ocean for the eastern 2/3rds of the CWA, it may be difficult to
get stronger gusts down to the surface with what is left of any low
level inversion and the maritime influence. Rainfall totals should
be in the 0.7 to 1.4 inch range across the area with WPC maintaining
a Marginal Risk of excessive rainfall. See the hydrology section for
further details.

The shower activity and any convection will get further east by the
late evening and overnight as the cold front begins to pivot into
and through the area. The winds immediately behind the boundary will
switch to the NW. This should take place for the NYC metro towards
or shortly after midnight. The NW flow picks up into the Tuesday AM
commute as a secondary cold front pivots through early.

Low pressure exits further off the NE coast as high pressure builds
on Tuesday. A N to NNW flow regime ushers in drier air. A seasonable
day temperature wise with mainly middle 50s as full sunshine
develops. Chose to stick close to NBM guidance temp wise as the flow
will be more northerly as opposed to westerly, thus temperatures
should not get too much above guidance with less overall adiabatic
compression / warming.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Dry wx Tue ngt thru the day on Wed with high pres building in. Temps
Tue ngt still on track for 20s and 30s, although the NBM has trended
up slightly for cstl areas, likely due to nly flow thru the ngt
minimizing the radiational cooling potential.

Increasing clouds Wed with a warm front approaching. Chances for
shwrs Wed ngt as the theta-e ridge builds in. There could be some
fog and dz as well, but kept out for now in case the front stalls S
of the area before jumping nwd Thu mrng.

Warm sectored on Thu, with areas W of the Hudson the warmest,
possibly 20 degrees or so warmer than Montauk. Went with the blended
approach for rain chances per the NBM, but these numbers may end up
a bit high if the cdfnt remains too far W as the 12Z GFS suggests.

As the main upr lvl energy with the sys ejects into Canada, the
residual boundary looks to meander over the area right thru the
weekend, at times S of the area, at times over the area. The fcst is
NBM pops meaning chances for shwrs thru the period. The 12Z ECMWF
and GFS suggest this pattern wipes out around next Mon with a strong
upr low dropping down out of Canada.

.AVIATION /03Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
A warm front slowly approaches from the south tonight, lifting
across the terminals early Monday morning. A cold front
approaches on Monday, passing through the terminals Monday
night.

IFR conditions should become widespread LIFR overnight. Fog
will also become likely LIFR visibilities likely, especially
just before the warm front passage. Visibilities should begin
improving as the warm front lifts north through Monday morning.
Ceilings should remain LIFR to IFR through middle morning with
the likelihood of improvement thereafter to MVFR for most
terminals except across Long Island and Southern Connecticut.
There is also a chance for VFR at KEWR, KTEB, and KSWF,
especially Monday afternoon.

E winds 5-10 kt this evening will gradually become SE-S overnight
into early Monday morning, then SSW toward daybreak Monday with
wind speeds beginning to increase. The warm front will likely
pass earlier across Long Island terminals allowing winds to
shift faster to the S. SSW gusts 20-25kt develop late Monday
morning into early afternoon. LLWS is expected at coastal
terminals early Monday with SW winds 40-50 kt at 2kft. Gusts
likely become occasional late afternoon with winds shifting to
the NW behind the cold front passage late Monday evening.

A few showers are possible tonight. Higher probabilities of
showers exists late Monday afternoon into Monday evening mainly
for NYC terminals on NW. Thunderstorms are also possible and
have included PROB30s to account for this potential at KEWR,
KTEB, and KSWF. These thunderstorms could briefly produce gusty
winds. Confidence is much lower for thunder further east.

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

Confidence in visibility forecast is low tonight.

Timing of lowering to LIFR this evening may be off by 1-3
hours.

Amendments are likely for timing of category changes tonight
into Monday.

Timing of SHRA and potential TSRA (at KEWR and KTEB) may be off
by 1- 3 hours Monday evening.

.OUTLOOK FOR 00Z TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...

Monday night: Showers with possible thunderstorms in the evening.
The best chance for thunder exists for NYC terminals on NW.
MVFR-IFR, with local LIFR possible, mainly Long Island and Southern
CT terminals in the evening. Improvements to VFR likely late. SW
winds shift to the NW overnight and become gusty 20-25 kt.

Tuesday: VFR. NW wind gusts 20-25 kt during the day.

Wednesday: VFR during the day. MVFR or lower possible at night with
a chance of showers. SE wind gusts 15-20 kt.

Thursday: MVFR or lower possible with a chance of showers with the
highest chance NW of the NYC metro terminals. SW wind gusts 15-25
kt, highest along the cost.

Friday: VFR.

.MARINE...
A marine dense fog advisory is in effect for tonight into Monday
morning for reduces visibilities in areas of fog.

Sub advisory conditions through this evening with ocean seas around
4 ft.  A southerly flow picks up during the overnight out on the
ocean as seas begin to climb resulting in small craft conditions
developing, with far eastern LI Sound approaching small craft
conditions towards day break.  The non-ocean waters then go to small
craft by mid to late morning on Monday. Other than a brief lull in
conditions with a wind switch from S-SW to NW Monday night, small
craft conditions resume by Tuesday morning on a NW wind. Small craft
gusts to around 25 kt will take shape on all waters on Tuesday,
along with elevated seas out on the ocean.

Small craft conditions may linger for the majority of the time on
the ocean Tue ngt thru Fri. Elsewhere, SCA winds possible Wed ngt
and Thu behind a warm frontal passage.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Showers with embedded thunderstorms are expected late Monday
afternoon through Monday night. The main concern will be
some localized minor nuisance / poor drainage urban type
flooding.

No hydrologic impacts are expected for the remainder of the period,
Tue-Sun.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
Astronomical levels are high with recent new moon. This combined
with continuous easterly flow has built up water levels. High
tide has largely passed for the vulnerable locations across the
back back bays and Lower Harbor. Most spots just touched minor
benchmarks or just fell short. Have cancelled the statements
across eastern Long Island as water levels will remain below
minor flood stage. The Advisory remains for coastal Fairfield
and coastal Westchester where minor benchmarks will likely be
exceeded by several tenths of a foot. Statements remain for
coastal New Haven, Bronx, and northern Queens for only
localized minor tonight.

Additional minor coastal flooding is possible around the times
of high tide Monday night.
