AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
728 PM EDT SAT APR 12 2025
SYNOPSIS
LOW PRESSURE SOUTH OF LONG ISLAND TONIGHT WEAKENS AND
DISSIPATES, WHILE A SECONDARY LOW DEVELOPS EAST OF NEW ENGLAND.
THE LOW WILL THEN LIFT NORTHEAST ON SUNDAY, FOLLOWED BY A WEAK
RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN FROM THE WEST SUNDAY NIGHT. A
FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL APPROACH FROM THE WEST MONDAY AND IMPACT
THE REGION MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY, WITH A COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE
EXPECTED LATE MONDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY TUESDAY MORNING. ANOTHER
COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE PASSES
TO THE SOUTH WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. ANOTHER FRONTAL SYSTEM MAY
IMPACT THE REGION FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.
NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/
FORECAST ON TRACK AS AREAS OF LIGHT RAIN AND DRIZZLE CONTINUE.
THE PRECIPITATION HAS BECOME A LITTLE MORE SCATTERED AS DRIER
AIR HAS MOVED INTO THE AREA AS THE UPPER LOW MOVES SOUTHWEST
THROUGH PENNSYLVANIA AT 23Z.
EXPECT OCCASIONAL LIGHT RAIN AND DRIZZLE THROUGH THE NIGHT AS
AS THE UPPER TROUGH TRACKS SLOWLY ACROSS THE AREA. AT THE
SURFACE, LOW PRESSURE DISSIPATES TO THE SOUTH OF LI TONIGHT,
WITH A SECONDARY LOW DEVELOPING EAST OF NEW ENGLAND. WEAK LOW-
LEVEL LIFT AND MOISTURE WITH DRY MID LEVELS SHOULD KEEP THE RAIN
FAIRLY LIGHT. THE 12Z HRRR INDICATED SOME STEADIER WRAPAROUND
RAIN MOVING INTO THE AREA BRIEFLY TOWARD DAYBREAK, BUT THIS
SCENARIO SEEMS UNLIKELY AT THIS TIME WITH THE SURFACE LOW BEING
THE FARTHEST WEST OF THE GUIDANCE. HOWEVER, PLAN TO STILL KEEP A
CHANCE OF LIGHT RAIN AND/OR DRIZZLE INTO THE MORNING.
CONDITIONS THEN DRY OUT FROM WEST TO EAST WITH THE RAIN ENDING
BY AFTERNOON FOR MOST LOCATIONS, BUT COULD LINGER ACROSS FAR
EASTERN LI AND SE CT.
OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL DROP INTO THE MID AND UPPER 30S WITH A VERY
SMALL DIURNAL CHANGE. HIGHS ON SUNDAY THEN CLIMB INTO THE 50S,
BUT STILL SEVERAL DEGREES BELOW NORMAL WITH PLENTY OF CLOUDS TO
START ALONG WITH A NORTHERLY FLOW. NBM AND MOS WERE FAIRLY
CLOSE AND GENERALLY ACCEPTED.
SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT/
A WEAK HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST SUNDAY NIGHT
WITH CLEAR SKIES AND DIMINISHING NW FLOW. LOWS SUNDAY NIGHT
WILL RANGE FROM THE UPPER 30S TO LOWER 40S, WHICH IS CLOSE TO
NORMAL. GROWING SEASON HAS STARTED ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF
THE FORECAST AREA SO WILL HAVE TO TAKE A FURTHER LOOK INTO THE
POTENTIAL FOR A FROST ADVISORY TOMORROW NIGHT. AT THIS TIME, IT
LOOKS TOO WARM.
LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/
THE FORECAST FROM MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY IS FAIRLY CONSISTENT WITH
THE PREVIOUS FORECAST WITH THE TIMING AND SPATIAL MOVEMENT OF A
FRONTAL SYSTEM THAT IMPACTS THE REGION MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY.
MAINLY USED THE NBM DETERMINISTIC PARAMETERS, EXCEPT BLENDED IN THE
90TH PERCENTILE FOR WINDS AND GUSTS TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY IN THE
WAKE OF THE TWO COLD FRONTAL PASSAGES, AND THE DETERMINISTIC
UNDER DOES THE WINDS AND GUSTS. THE UPPER FLOW CONTINUES TO BE
PROGRESSIVE MONDAY INTO LATE IN THE WEEK WITH THE FIRST UPPER TROUGH
AFFECTING THE AREA MONDAY AND TUESDAY, WITH THE TROUGH AXIS MOVING
EAST OF THE REGION DURING WEDNESDAY AS HEIGHTS SLOWLY RISE WITH
CYCLONIC FLOW WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT. WEAK UPPER RIDGING
PASSES THROUGH AND FLATTENS LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY
NIGHT AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE PASSES TO THE SOUTH. ANOTHER
SHORTWAVE UPPER TROUGH AFFECTS THE AREA LATE FRIDAY THROUGH
SATURDAY. ONCE AGAIN USED THE NBM DETERMINISTIC THURSDAY THROUGH
SATURDAY, EVEN FOR WINDS AND GUSTS SATURDAY AS TIMING OF THE COLD
FRONT IS UNCERTAIN AT THIS TIME.

OVERNIGHT. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE SLOWLY BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST
