Above normal temperatures forecast Thursday. 3) Mainly dry conditions through the upcoming weekend. Next chance of rain Sunday night into early next week. && .DISCUSSION... .KEY MESSAGE 1... Tonight, the high pressure center moves in. Weakening pressure gradient with gusts diminishing this afternoon and winds becoming calm tonight. Mostly clear sky conditions will help promote radiational cooling to an already cooler than normal airmass. Took the blend of MET and MAV MOS guidance for lows tonight with some manual adjustments as the NBM itself appeared to be way too warm. The areal size of forecast min temperatures below freezing is relatively small and isolated. With the temperatures nearly falling to the dewpoint along with the calm winds, frost is expected to form, especially across the interior parts of the region and to a smaller extent across parts of Eastern Suffolk County NY. More than half of the zones of Orange NY, Putnam NY, and interior Southern CT have areas of frost forecast for late tonight into early Wednesday and for these zones, there is a frost advisory in effect from 11PM this evening until 9AM Wednesday. Elsewhere and outside of the Pine Barrens of Long Island, the range of lows is more in the 36 to 45 degree range with NYC Metro more in the 45 to 50 degree range. .KEY MESSAGE 2... With the movement of high pressure to more out into the Atlantic Wednesday into Wednesday night, the winds and circulation pattern changes to bring more SW winds. This will advect in a warmer airmass. Forecast temperatures exhibit quite the rebound as a result. Wednesday`s highs back to near normal, mostly mid 60s to near 70 and lows Wednesday night mostly back into the 50s as the SW winds stay up in the boundary layer. The warm air advection continues Thursday with highs that day more into the 70s with mid to upper 70s across western parts of the region (NE NJ, NYC, Lower Hudson Valley) away from the relatively cooler marine air. In general thereafter, forecast temperatures do not deviate much from seasonal normals. Highs mostly in the upper 60s to lower 70s. Lows at night stay in the 40s and 50s. .KEY MESSAGE 3... Extended dry conditions are forecast through the rest of the work week and into much of the weekend. A cold front moves across Thursday night but does not have much moisture with it and this is expected move through dry. Sunday night into early next week is when there is the next chance of rain and this is from a low pressure system and associated moisture approaching from the south and west. Still a lot of uncertainty with this and probability for rain is between 20 and 40 percent. && .AVIATION /08Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... High pressure remains in control. VFR.
