517 FXUS61 KOKX 300623 AFDOKX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service New York NY 223 AM EDT Sat Aug 30 2025 .SYNOPSIS... A large area of high pressure will prevail from the Upper Midwest east into the Mid Atlantic and Northeast states through the middle of next week. A frontal system then approaches the area at the end of the week. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... An upper low over the St. Lawrence River Valley will track east today and into Maine by this evening. At the surface, high pressure centered over the Great Lakes will expand east into the area. This will result in a dry, cool day for the area with high temperatures likely not getting out of the 70s. This is about 3 to 5 degrees below normal. Lows tonight will range from the upper 40s well north and west of NYC, to the lower and mid 50s most other locations, and to the upper 50s to around 60 for the NYC metro. In some cases, lows will be close to 10 degrees below normal. && .SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/... The upper low/trough continues to translate east and out into the North Atlantic this period. However, energy at the base of the departing upper trough gets cutoff as heights builds aloft and upper level ridging expands east across Canada. This will leave a weak upper low across the northern Mid Atlantic region. However, with a moisture-starved airmass, expect dry conditions. Surface high pressure continues to build into the area during this time. Highs Sunday and Monday will be in the upper 70s to around 80 with a slight uptick each day. This is a few degrees below normal. Lows will also creep up a bit except for those locations that radiate particularly well. While the NBM was generally followed, did weigh in the NBM 25th percentile to account for those colder locations. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... Key Points: * High pressure will remain over the region Tuesday and Wednesday, with dry and cool conditions. Temperatures will be more like mid- September. * Chance for precipitation returns on Thursday, with a better chance of rainfall on Friday into possibly Saturday as an upper level trough and associated cold front approach and move into the region. There is a chance that Thursday remains dry with the cold front slightly slowed down from previous forecast runs. && .AVIATION /06Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... A cold front has passed southeast of the terminals. High pressure then builds to the southwest of the terminals through Saturday, and into the region thru Sunday. VFR. Sct-Bkn cigs develop around 5kft this afternoon. NW/NNW 8-12kt today, with gusts into the mid/upper teens possible from late morning into afternoon. Winds become 10kt or less after 00z Sunday. Chance of winds briefly becoming southerly late this afternoon. ...NY Metro (KEWR/KLGA/KJFK/KTEB) TAF Uncertainty... Winds mainly right of 310 mag thru the period, except may back to the left at KJFK for this evenings push. Occasional gusts to mid/upper teens possible from late morning into afternoon. .OUTLOOK FOR 06Z SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY... Saturday Night through Wednesday: VFR. Detailed information, including hourly TAF wind component forecasts, can be found at: https:/www.weather.gov/zny/n90 && .MARINE... High pressure will build across the waters this weekend into early next week. Conditions will generally remain below SCA levels during this time. Seas may return to small craft levels at the end of next week as a frontal system approaches the waters and low pressure passes nearby. && .HYDROLOGY... There are no hydrologic concerns through the end of next week. && .TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING... There will be a low risk at the ocean beaches today and Sunday with 1-2 ft waves at 5-7 seconds. && .OKX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... CT...None. NY...None. NJ...None. MARINE...None. && $$ SYNOPSIS...DW NEAR TERM...DW SHORT TERM...DW LONG TERM... AVIATION...BC MARINE...BC/DW HYDROLOGY...BC/DW TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING... |
