WHAT HAS CHANGED

No significant changes to the forecast.

KEY MESSAGES

1) The area will remain in between high pressure to south and west and low pressure to north and east into the first half of this week. A few frontal system pass by but without much rain. Breezy and mild conditions expected much of the time.

2) Low pressure may impact the region late Thursday into Friday night, bringing potential of widespread rain and gusty winds. Impacts, if any, at this time are uncertain.

KEY MESSAGE 2

Forecast confidence is low for the end of the week with potential low pressure impacting the region.

An amplifying trough over the eastern US will likely spawn low pressure somewhere from the Ohio to Tennessee Valley on Thursday. The low should then begin organizing as it nears the east coast Thursday night into Friday. Main question for this time period is the exact track and intensity of the low as model spread is quite large. Solutions vary from the low passing well to our NW, a transfer/redevelopment over or SE of Long Island, to a low passing well to our south with little to no precip reaching our area. Despite these differences, probabilities for precipitation Thursday night into Friday range from 60-80 percent, dropping to 40-50 percent Friday night. Rain will be the predominate precipitation type despite the track/ differences. The only exception would be for some interior locations in the Lower Hudson Valley mixing with some wet snow flakes as the associated upper low/trough pass overhead Friday night. The NBM probability for a dusting of snow is only about 10-15 percent for higher elevations in the NW interior. Climatology and a marginally cool air mass also favor areas well NW of our CWA for any wintry precip, if it were to occur.

The latest NBM probabilities for greater than 1 inch of rain for the event range from 35 to 55 percent across the area, highest near the coast. The latest NBM probability for greater than 2 inches of rain for the event is low and generally 5 to 15 percent, also highest near the coast.

While rain and gusty winds are the main concerns, impacts, if any, are unknown at this time due to the aforementioned uncertainty.

The upper low may linger over New England for a portion of next weekend, so conditions look cooler than normal and could remain unsettled with lingering clouds and gusty winds.

MARINE

With a steep pressure gradient remaining in place across the local waters, widespread SCA wind gusts are expected to continue through Monday. As such, the SCA remains on all waters until 6PM EST Monday. For the ocean, their seas stay near 5 to 7 ft through Monday and are forecast to remain near 5 to 6 ft Monday night. Therefore the SCA for the ocean zones out 20 NM goes further, ending at 6AM EST Tuesday.

Additional SCA wind gusts are possible Tuesday with the next frontal system passage with ocean SCA seas potentially lasting more into Tuesday as well as Tuesday night. Brief sub-SCA conditions forecast for midweek for all waters before winds and seas increase Thursday into Thursday night with potential return of SCA conditions.
