.SYNOPSIS...
A weak surface trough extending north from low pressure moving off
the southern Mid Atlantic coast will impact the area into this
morning. Weak high pressure will then move into the area tonight
into Sunday. A strong cold front moves through Sunday night. High
pressure builds from the west Monday, remaining in control through
Tuesday. A couple of low pressure systems may impact the area the
mid to late next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Key points:

* Light wintry mix across the area this morning, with potential
  for patchy freezing rain/drizzle, mainly across interior
  Connecticut.

An inverted trough is currently stretching into our area from
low pressure passing well offshore. There has been enough
convergence for some scattered precipitation to develop.

This activity shifts east this morning and will be east of the
area this afternoon. As temperatures rise this morning any
freezing rain/drizzle threat is coming to an end. Interior
portions of Connecticut are the only remaining locations at or
below freezing with precipitation moving through so this is the
only spot still under a freezing drizzle/wintry mix threat.

Weak high pressure starts to build in later in the day.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
Key points:

* A cold front moves through Sunday night with another very cold
  airmass building in behind it. Highs Monday look to top out in
  the mid 20s to low 30s, with lows Monday night expected to be
  down in the single digits and teens.

Weak high pressure remains in control through Sunday and then a
cold front moves through Sunday night. Guidance came in drier
and now keeps PoPs out of the area for the frontal passage. As
high pressure builds in behind the front the pressure gradient
briefly tightens into Monday morning and results in 25 to 30
mph gusts. These winds combined with temperatures well below
normal will result in wind chill values during the day in the
teens.

The high moves overhead Monday night. Have stuck with the NBM
for now with lows, but if forecast sky cover trends lower there
is a chance we can see even lower temperatures. Current forecast
is upper single digits to lower teens across the interior and
mostly mid to upper teens elsewhere.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
High pressure pushes off the Northeast Coast Tuesday, allowing
a warm front to approach from the southwest and low pressure to
move across the Great Lakes and pass north of the area Tuesday
night into Wednesday morning. Therefore, dry conditions are in
store from Monday through Tuesday, with just a slight chance of
precipitation for portions of the forecast area Tuesday night.
The warm front may lift north during the day Wednesday as
another fast moving low pressure system approaches from the
west, farther south than the previous one. This too is expected
to pass north, rounding the base of the upper trough that is in
place Wednesday night. This may give the region a better chance
for precipitation Wednesday into Thursday, but it looks to be
light. The associated cold front looks to push through Wednesday
night, allowing high pressure to build in for Thursday. Another
quick moving system approaches from the west late in the week,
but there is a great deal of uncertainty among the models as to
the track and strength of the low.

Warmer, but still well below normal temperatures expected for
Wednesday, with highs in the upper 20s to around 40 across the area
(warmer for coastal areas). Near normal temperatures on Wednesday
with the warm frontal passage, but then slightly cooler for Thursday
with the cold frontal passage.

.AVIATION /18Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Weak high pressure builds to the southwest through tonight,
before sliding offshore on Sunday.

VFR.

WSW flow up to 10 kt through this afternoon, veering WNW/NW
this evening and tonight as speeds lighten. Direction may
briefly go variable for a period late Sun AM, before SW flow
becomes established in the early afternoon as the high shifts
offshore. Speeds remain at or under 10 kt through the period.

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

Direction could hang near, or just north of, 310 mag during the
Sun AM push.

Winds may briefly go light and variable after 15Z Sun, before
becoming SW in the early afternoon.

.OUTLOOK FOR 18Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...

Sunday PM: VFR. NW gusts 20-25 kt developing at night.

Monday: VFR. NW-N gusts 20-25 kt.

Tuesday: VFR. SW gusts 15-20 kt in the afternoon/evening.

Wednesday: MVFR or lower possible w/ chance of rain/snow
across interior Lower Hudson Valley. S-SW gusts 20-25kt
possible.

Thursday: VFR. W gusts 20 kt.

.MARINE...
Sub-SCA conditions through the weekend with a weak pressure
gradient over the waters.

SCA conditions are possible through much of next week beginning
Monday as multiple low pressure systems could impact the area.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
No hydrologic impacts are expected through next week.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
Water levels may touch minor flood thresholds late morning/midday
high tide cycle in spots along the south shore back bays of
Nassau and Queens, tidal waterways of NE NJ, the SW CT coastline,
and at Shinnecock and Montauk out east. A coastal flood statement
may eventually be issued to address this.
