.KEY MESSAGES...

the weekend.

2) Localized minor coastal flooding is possible across southern
Nassau and southern Fairfield counties during the morning high
tides Tuesday and Wednesday.

.DISCUSSION...
.KEY MESSAGE 1...
A strong upper low tracking across central and eastern Canada will
suppress the upper ridge to the north of our area. Upper ridging
will then reestablish itself over the eastern portion of the
country, with the region lying between the ridge to the south and
mainly zonal flow to our north. Other than a dry cold front passage
tonight, strong high pressure will dominate the weather pattern
through the week.

Wind overnight from dry frontal passage will prevent optimal
radiational cooling conditions overnight. Lows look to be in the low
40s to upper 40s with low 50s in and around the NYC metro.

As a result of the front, light northerly flow will reinforce
slightly below seasonal temps Tuesday with highs in the upper 50s to
low 60s.

Winds drop off Tuesday night under clear skies leading to optimal
radiational cooling conditions. The NYC metro will drop into the
mid/low 40s. Elsewhere, will see 30s. Areas that may get below
freezing will be in the northern interior and the LI Pine Barrens.
Frost may also become widespread in the interior and the LI
Pine Barrens. Given the growing season doesn`t end in Suffolk
county, Bergen county, or coastal CT zones until November 1st,
possible frost development in these locations could prompt a
Frost Advisory, should frost end up becoming more widespread.

A gradual warming trend is then forecast through the rest of the
week with highs Thursday and especially Friday above normal in the
upper 60s and lower 70s. Some of the warmer spots on Friday could
reach the mid to upper 70s in NE NJ.

.KEY MESSAGE 2...
Localized minor coastal flooding remains possible for southern
Nassau and southern Fairfield counties during the morning high tides
on Tuesday and Wednesday. The latest guidance lends little
confidence to meeting these thresholds, so have not issued a
statement or advisory attm. Despite high pressure over the area
during this timeframe, astronomically high tides (King Tide) may
mean localized minor coastal flooding for these locations.
