.WHAT HAS CHANGED...
Updated for Aviation.
&&
.KEY MESSAGES...
1) Periods of light to moderate rain persist through this
afternoon. No significant impacts expected.
2) Minor coastal flooding is possible in vulnerable locations
along the Long Island south shore during today`s daytime high
tide cycle.
3) An extended stretch of dry weather looks to return this
weekend and continue through much of next week.
&&
.DISCUSSION...
.KEY MESSAGE 1...
Low pressure just southeast of Long Island slowly pulls east
and further offshore into tonight as the parent upper low trails
behind it.
Periods of light to moderate rain will continue to fall through
the afternoon, before tapering everywhere by the evening. The
risk for heavier downpours that could lead to any additional
flood threat has ended. Additional QPF will be light, generally
between a quarter and half inch. The rain may mix with or
transition to wet snow across the hills well north and west of
NYC. A light coating on colder surfaces is possible in these
areas.
.KEY MESSAGE 2...
The combination of a recent new moon (Nov. 9) and an area of
low pressure moving off the Mid Atlantic coast should cause
another round of minor coastal flooding along the Long Island
south shore during today`s daytime high tide cycle. Isolated
moderate coastal flooding is possible as well. Coastal flood
advisories are in effect for the south shore of Nassau and
Suffolk. N flow should prevent water levels from reaching
threshold elsewhere.
Additionally, issued coastal flood statements for the NYC and NJ
metro areas as well as southern Fairfield where new guidance
was indicating isolated minor coastal flooding possible with up
to a half foot of inundation.
Blend of bias corrected NYHOPS and P-ETSS 50th percentiles used
for surge.
.KEY MESSAGE 3...
An extended stretch of dry weather develops this weekend as a
sprawling area of high pressure gradually builds to the west
into early next week, then settles over the area mid to late
next week.
Dry conditions persist through much of the week and below normal
temps this weekend should moderate to near normal early next
week, then to a few degrees above normal Wed-Thu as heights also
rise aloft.
