.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
Key Points:

* Areas of black ice this evening through Monday morning as any
  moisture or slush on untreated surfaces will quickly refreeze.

* Windy with NW winds gusts 30 to 40 mph and unseasonably cold
  tonight into Monday morning with wind chills around zero
  city/coast and as low as -8 below zero across the interior.

* Gusty winds of 30 to 40 mph may bring down additional snow
  laden tree branches, with isolated power outages, into the
  overnight. Greatest threat for Long Island.

Strong polar shortwave (-2 to -3 std 500mb heights) pivots through
and the area tonight.

Scattered snow showers across LI/CT, ahead of approaching
shortwave, will come to an end early this evening. Otherwise,
coldest airmass of the season (850mb temps down to -18 C).
ushered in tonight into Mon AM on brisk NW winds of
15-25G30-40mph, with temps falling into the lower teens interior
and mid teens coast (upper teens NYC/NJ metro). Windchills
around 0 F for coast, and 0 to -8 F for interior.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
Key Points:

* Temperatures around 15 degrees below seasonable Monday into Monday
  Night

Polar trough exits east Monday morning, with mean upper troughing
Monday into Monday night. A couple of weak backside shortwaves
approach Monday afternoon and cross Mon eve into Tue morning.
Associated weak clipper system appears to weaken as it
approaches, but WAA ahead of it will result in increasing
afternoon clouds and perhaps isolated snow showers/flurries
Monday aft/night. No accum expected.

Limited mixing and increasing cloud cover with a moderating polar
airmass will likely keep temps in the mid 20s interior to upper 20s
coast (about 15 degrees below seasonable). Windchills in the teens.

Cloud cover should help keep temps from bottoming out Monday Night,
with lows in the teens interior, and lower 20s coast.

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Key Points

* Arctic airmass starts to weaken with temperatures starting to
  moderate on Tuesday.

* Airmass further moderates with milder high temperatures Wednesday
  (mostly lower 40s) and Thursday (mostly upper 40s to lower 50s).

* Strong cold front approaches Thursday night and moves across early
  Friday. Brief heavy rain possible and very gusty winds. Cold air
  advection Friday post cold front may allow for some snow to mix in
  north and west of NYC.

* Precipitation forecast to close out next weekend. Low chances of
  rain and snow.

Active forecast period with upper level jet remaining near or within
the Northeast for the long term period. This will provide more
steering flow for a more rapid progressive pattern with quick
passage of high and low pressure areas. Aloft, there will be a
series of troughs that move across the area.

Surface high pressure briefly builds in Tuesday before moving
offshore Tuesday night. Airmass will begin to moderate during this
time period. A strengthening low pressure area moving eastward
within Southeast Canada for midweek will bring an associated cold
front towards the local area. This front will move through Wednesday
night but its main forcing remains well north of the area. Another
high pressure builds in briefly behind the front early Thursday
before quickly moving offshore later Thursday into Thursday evening.
No precipitation is forecast with dry conditions prevailing through
Thursday.

A strong cold front approaches Thursday night and moves across early
Friday. A high likelihood of rainfall is forecast across the region
for this timeframe. Precipitation tapers off during the day Friday
from west to east. With strong cold air advection, some snow may mix
in with the rain north and west of NYC before all precipitation
concludes.

Another high pressure area builds in later Friday into Saturday
before another cold front approaches Saturday night into Sunday with
more chances for rain and snow. POPs are still low and under 30
percent so looks like mainly dry conditions for next weekend outside
of the front.
