WHAT HAS CHANGED

Rainfall totals have gradually lowered for today into tonight, with predominantly dry conditions expected now on Thursday.

KEY MESSAGES

1) Periods of rain showers into tonight with a cold frontal passage.

2) Cooler today, mainly due to rain and cloud cover. A seasonable air mass settles in behind a cold front for the remainder of this week.

KEY MESSAGE 2

As a cold front approaches from the west today with clouds moving in. This, combined with a southerly flow off the colder ocean for most places will mean more seasonable temperatures overall with widespread 60s and upper 50s for eastern sections, and lower 70s towards the NYC metro and points W and NW. The cold front will bring a period, or multiple periods of wet conditions later today into a portion of tonight before the cold front moves east of the region late tonight into Thursday morning. The front should progress enough to the east to allow a drier and cooler air mass to work in on a NW to W flow with increasing sunshine now expected Thursday. Sun is also expected during Friday with temperatures generally in the 60s and near normal both days. More clouds arrive on Saturday with the likelihood of showers returning with temperatures near normal once again with mainly 60s region wide.

OUTLOOK FOR 18Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY

Thursday: VFR.

Friday: VFR. W/WSW wind gusts near 20 kt, diminishing at night.

Saturday: Showers likely with MVFR or lower conditions. S wind gusts near 20 kt.

Sunday: VFR early. MVFR or lower possible in showers by evening. S wind gusts near 20 kt.

MARINE

Small craft conditions will prevail across all waters today, with perhaps the southern and eastern bays of LI having a few occasional gusts approaching gale force. The winds switch to the NW tonight from west to east as sub advisory conditions gradually return across the non ocean waters. SCA seas persist across the ocean waters through most of tonight. The eastern ocean may experience small craft seas through a portion of Thursday morning. Thereafter, sub advisory conditions are expected to prevail on all waters through Friday night, with a period of marginal small craft conditions for the ocean waters for a period of time on Saturday. Another brief period of small craft conditions may take place on Sunday for the western ocean and western south shore bays of LI, otherwise sub advisory conditions are anticipated much of the time Sunday night into Monday.
