.DISCUSSION...
.KEY MESSAGE 1...
Mid level shortwave trough will swing across New England through
this evening. The passage of the upper trough may also be
enough to develop isolated showers this evening, mainly across
portions of SE CT and potentially the forks of Long Island this
evening. Most places should remain dry this evening.

High pressure builds down from the north tonight into Monday and
will then remain overhead on Tuesday. Dry and cooler conditions
are expected on Monday. Highs will largely be in the mid to
upper 70s although a few spots in NE NJ, NYC metro and Lower
Hudson valley could reach the low 80s. Some slight moderation is
likely on Tuesday with temperatures above normal in the lower
to middle 80s. Developing sea breezes will keep the immediate
coast a bit cooler.

High pressure shifts to the western Atlantic on Wednesday. The
ridge aloft looks to weaken slightly with a shortwave passing
across the northeast late in the day. Temperatures should be
warmer compared to the start of the week with highs in the mid
to upper 80s, warmest across NE NJ and the interior. Sea breezes
will continue to keep the immediate coast a bit cooler. A few
showers, possibly a thunderstorm, cannot be ruled out late in
the day and evening with the passing shortwave.


.KEY MESSAGE 2...
Heat and increasing humidity are possible Thursday and Friday
as an upper level ridge will slide across the eastern seaboard.
Guidance is hinting at a shortwave passing across the northeast
on Friday/Friday night. The timing of this system is still in
question given it is still several days out. The approach of the
shortwave may help advect some higher humidities into the area,
especially to end the week. Temperatures on Thursday should
rise well into the 80s with the usual warmer spots rising into
the lower 90s. There is a chance for some mid 90s in the warmest
spots of urban NE NJ. Similar conditions are possible on
Friday. Closer to the coast and across SE CT, temperatures will
likely only be in the mid to potentially upper 80s before sea
breezes level temps off or lower them in the latter part of the
day.

The increase in humidity could allow apparent temperatures to
approach heat advisory criteria in parts of NE NJ, NYC metro, and
Lower Hudson Valley Thursday and Friday, with heat indices near 95-
100F away from the coast both Thursday and Friday.

Convective chances exist Thursday and Friday afternoon and evening,
but hinge on the timing shortwaves, which are difficult to resolve
this far out. It is also too early for any confidence in severe
thunderstorm potential.

Temperatures will likely remain hot for the upcoming weekend, but
a decrease in humidity is possible behind the passing
shortwave.

.AVIATION /00Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
High pressure will build in from the north through Monday.

Mainly VFR. Brief MVFR possible for a 2 to 3 hour period
overnight as clouds move in from the east. Confidence too low to
put in the TAFs. An isolated shower possible this evening at
KGON.

N winds 10-15 G20-25kt to start this evening, then gradually
subsiding and veering to the NE at 10kt or less by daybreak.
Winds will continue to veer on Monday, becoming SE/S by
afternoon.

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

Brief MVFR possible overnight between between 05Z and 08Z.

Amendments likely for wind shifts through Monday.

.OUTLOOK FOR 00Z TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...

Monday night through Tuesday night: VFR.

Wednesday: Chance of a late day tstm from the NYC metros north/west,
then throughout at night. SW winds G20kt in the afternoon.

Thursday: Chance of showers early in the morning, then chance of
afternoon/evening showers/tstms.

Friday: Chance of afternoon/evening showers/tstms from the NYC
metros north/west.

forecasts, can be found at: https:/www.weather.gov/zny/n90

.MARINE...
NW flow behind a cold front late this afternoon and evening
could bring gusts around 20 kt. There is also a chance for a
gust close to 25 kt away from the shore on the ocean east of
Moriches Inlet tonight. Otherwise, high pressure building in
will lead to conditions below SCA levels through Tuesday. The
next chance for SCA conditions will be Wednesday on the ocean
as S-SW flow increases ahead of a weak frontal system. Conditions
should then remain below SCA levels for the end of the week.

Rip Currents...

For Monday, the rip current risk is low with the lingering S
swell falling to 2 ft at 6s and lightening winds.

A S/SW flow picks up Tuesday which may lead to a moderate risk
during the afternoon. For now, stuck with a low risk, but there
is potential for this to be upgraded to a moderate. Otherwise,
there is just a lingering 2 ft swell at 7-8s out of the SE.
