KEY MESSAGE 1...
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO BRING DRY CONDITIONS ACROSS
EASTERN NEW YORK AND WESTERN NEW ENGLAND THROUGH NEXT TUESDAY.
BREEZY CONDITIONS IN THE MID-HUDSON VALLEY CONTINUE THROUGH THIS
AFTERNOON WITH WINDS GUSTING BETWEEN 15 AND 25 MPH, THEN
DECREASE NEAR AND AFTER SUNSET TONIGHT. A NOR'EASTER OUT IN THE
ATLANTIC OCEAN WILL CONTINUE TO SLOWLY HEAD NORTH AND EAST OUT
TO SEA WITH NO IMPACTS TO EASTERN NEW YORK OR WESTERN NEW
ENGLAND THROUGH THURSDAY. SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES CONTINUE
THROUGH THIS WEEKEND.
AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/
WITH HIGH PRESSURE NEARBY, FLYING CONDITIONS CONTINUE TO BE VFR
FOR THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING. FEW-SCT HIGH CIRRUS CLOUDS
FROM THE NEARBY COASTAL NOR'EASTER ARE OFF TO THE SOUTHEAST WITH
NO AVIATION IMPACT. SURFACE WINDS ARE GENERALLY FROM THE NORTH
TO NORTHEAST AROUND 5-10 KTS AND THIS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE
EARLY EVENING HOURS.
WINDS FOR TONIGHT WILL BECOME LIGHT TO CALM FOR ALL SITES. SKIES
WILL REMAIN FAIRLY CLEAR THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. IT WILL BE
RATHER COLD AND DRY OVERNIGHT, SO THIS SHOULD HELP PREVENT MUCH
WIDESPREAD RADIATIONAL FOG FROM FORMING. LOCAL TERRAIN EFFECTS
COULD ALLOW FOR A PERIOD OF FOG NEAR KGFL TOWARDS DAYBREAK, BUT
CONFIDENCE IN THIS IS RATHER LOW AT THIS TIME, SO WILL LEAVE OUT
OF THE TAF FOR NOW, BUT WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THAT POTENTIAL.
ON THURSDAY, FLYING CONDITIONS WILL STILL BE VFR WITH A FAIRLY
CLEAR SKY AND NO PRECIPITATION. JUST SOME ADDITIONAL PASSING
CIRRUS WILL BE POSSIBLE FOR THURSDAY. DURING DAYTIME MIXING,
WINDS WILL BECOME NORTHWEST AND INCREASE TO AROUND 10 KTS FOR
ALL SITES. SOME HIGHER GUSTS CAN'T BE RULED OUT, ESPECIALLY AT
KALB AND KPSF.
