1) Cooler for the end of the week with multiple disturbances
dropping south across the Northeast through the first half of
next week.

2) A moderate rip current risk continues Thursday into Friday.

.DISCUSSION...
.KEY MESSAGE 1...

A series of upper level disturbances dropping SE across ern
Canada will carve out an upper trough across the Northeast into
the Canadian Maritimes. The strongest of these will move across
New England and drive a stronger cold front through Fri night.
So after a warmer Thu/Fri with temps running a few degrees
above normal, Sat will be noticeably cooler and almost brisk,
with a NW wind gusting to 25-30 mph. Temps daytime Sat per MOS
may not make it out of the 60s. Temps should recover somewhat
on Sunday with highs 70-75 which is actually close to normal.

An upper level low may stall over the Northeast and produce
chances for showers and isolated thunderstorms Mon-Wed. Some of
the modeling however suggests a more transitory pattern,
producing lesser chances duration-wise. The blended approach was
followed to account for the uncertainty this far out.

.KEY MESSAGE 2...

A moderate rip current risk continues Thursday into Friday with
a residual 2-ft 7 to 8 sec SE swell lingering.

&&

.AVIATION /15Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
A weak surface trough moves across the area today. Behind it,
high pressure builds in form the northwest.

Mainly VFR, but brief MVFR possible in a shower this afternoon.
Guidance has become more aggressive with showers across the

added to some of the TAFs as a Prob30. An isolated low-topped
thunderstorm is possible, but unlikely.

NW winds increase to 10-15 kt with gusts 20-25kt this afternoon.
KGON may not gust as the pressure gradient across that area is
weaker. A few terminals may see occasionally higher gusts. Winds
diminish after 00Z.

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

area this afternoon. An isolated low-topped thunderstorm is
possible, but unlikely.
