476 FXUS61 KOKX 081949 AFDOKX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service New York NY 349 PM EDT Sun Jun 8 2025 .SYNOPSIS... A warm front slowly lifts towards the area through Monday. The slow moving frontal system will then work across the area Tuesday and will push offshore by Wed morning. High pressure then remains near the region through early Friday. Another frontal system may affect the region late Friday and lingers into the weekend. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/... An area of rain over cntrl PA will approach late tngt, and with the support of another shrtwv on Mon, produce shwrs late tngt and into the first part of Mon for the cwa. The approaching upr trof will also help to lift the frontal boundary extending off the delmarva nwd towards the area thru the period. The local area however will remain N of the front thru the day on Mon. This may allow for some stratus and fog to impact the region late in the day Mon, aft the shwrs exit. Cloudy tngt with low temps close to normal. High temps blw normal on Mon with an ely flow across the region. && .SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT/... Upr trof continues to approach Mon ngt. This will draw the warm front further nwd. The blended approach via the NBM keeps the front S of the cwa at 12Z Tue. This is supported by the 12Z NAM. The GFS is a bit further N, perhaps allowing the front to get into LI. At the same time, chances for rain will increase thru the ngt with lowering heights and increasing dpva. With the front expected to remain mainly S, any convective activity is expected to be elevated attm. Therefore, the fcst is to keep temps right around normal, with increasing chances for shwrs and embedded tstms, especially aft midnight. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... **Key Points** * A frontal system will impact the area Tuesday, bringing showers and thunderstorms especially in the afternoon. Dry conditions expected thereafter into the end of the week. * A warming trend Wednesday through Friday with high temperatures peaking Thursday in the upper 80s and low 90s. Dewpoints should remain marginal keeping the heat index near the actual temperature during this period. Good model agreement on a broad upper trough located over the Great Lakes/Ontario to start the period. This trough weakens as it heads to the east into Wednesday, as the upper flow becomes more zonal, with some height rises and weak ridging into the end the of week. At the surface, a warm front associated with the aforementioned upper low is north of the area by Tuesday morning placing the area in the warm sector. Showers and embedded thunderstorms should increase in coverage as the day wears on as a slow moving cold front and embedded sfc low approaches. PWAT values from model soundings look to be in the 1.5-1.9" range, which is near or exceeding the SPC climatology for the date (1.55" is the 90th percentile). Given the weak mid level flow and parallel flow nature relative to the cold front, storms will be slow moving and potentially backbuilding, increasing the potential for a localized flash flood threat. This is especially true north and west of NYC during the day on Tuesday. While shear profiles look decent for organized thunderstorms, instability looks rather marginal, minimizing the threat for thunderstorms to be severe. The cold front and any associated precipitation should be east of the region by Tuesday night. High pressure then builds in for Wednesday through Friday, with rising heights. By Friday into next weekend, a faster moving upper low pivots through eastern Canada, bringing additional precipitation chances through next weekend, along with cooler temperatures. && .AVIATION /20Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... A frontal boundary will remain stalled south of the area terminals through Monday. VFR conditions will lower to MVFR this afternoon then to IFR as a frontal boundary begins to push north. Rain and drizzle expected tonight and into Monday morning. IFR/MVFR conditions continue into Monday. Easterly winds will continue through Monday around 08-12kt. ...NY Metro (KEWR/KLGA/KJFK/KTEB) TAF Uncertainty... Amendments possible throughout the entire TAF period for changing flight categories, especially during this afternoon/evening. .OUTLOOK FOR 18Z TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY... Tuesday: MVFR or lower possible with shwrs and tstms. Varying winds with a frontal sys. Wednesday - Thursday: VFR with W flow. Friday: VFR. Detailed information, including hourly TAF wind component forecasts, can be found at: https:/www.weather.gov/zny/n90 && .MARINE... Persistent E winds will build seas to around 4 ft tngt on the ocean. With winds blw criteria on all waters, so no sca has been issued with seas blw the 5 ft criteria. Winds lessen late Mon and Mon ngt, with seas subsiding slightly. SCA conditions on the ocean waters are possible Tuesday night into Wednesday with seas to 5ft in southerly swells. SCA conditions look to wane by Wednesday afternoon, with sub SCA conditions likely through Friday. && .HYDROLOGY... No hydrologic impacts are expected thru Mon ngt. Showers and thunderstorms Tuesday look to produce a widespread 0.25" to 0.75" of precipitation. Localized amounts of 1+" are possible given the antecedent airmass in place (PWAT >1.5"), especially northwest of NYC, though the threat appears isolated. Thus, WPC maintains a marginal risk of flash flooding here, though the threat looks isolated. No significant hydrologic issues are expected thereafter, Wednesday through Sunday, of next week. && .TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING... SE swells remain at 3-4 ft today, mixed with a long period SE background swell and a building 2 to 3 ft E wind wave. This should maintain a moderate to high risk of rips with a west to east sweep of 3 to 4 ft, occasionally 5 ft breaking surf. An E to W longshore current will likely become favored in the afternoon. A moderate to possibly high rip risk likely on Monday with 3-4 ft ESE wind waves building, and a background of 1-2 ft SE/S swells. E to W longshore current would be favored. && .OKX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... CT...None. NY...High Risk for Rip Currents until 9 PM EDT this evening for NYZ075- 080-081-178-179. NJ...None.
