AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW YORK NY
753 PM EDT TUE SEP 9 2025
SYNOPSIS
A WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE GRADUALLY PASSES OFFSHORE TONIGHT THROUGH
WEDNESDAY NIGHT. A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH LATE THURSDAY, WITH HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDING IN THEREAFTER. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FRIDAY
THROUGH SATURDAY, PUSHING OFFSHORE SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY.
A COLD FRONT THEN LIKELY SLIDES THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT, FOLLOWED
BY CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE EARLY NEXT WEEK.
NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/
AN OFFSHORE FRONTAL ZONE CAN BE SEEN ON CURRENT SATELLITE IMAGERY
AND THIS WILL BE THE FOCUS FOR A WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE TO DEVELOP AND
PASS TO OUR SOUTHEAST. HIGH PRESSURE WILL RETREAT NORTH THIS
EVENING, LEADING TO INCREASING CLOUD COVER SOUTH TO NORTH THROUGH
THIS EVENING AND EARLY TONIGHT IN RESPONSE TO THE OFFSHORE WAVE OF
LOW PRESSURE GETTING IN CLOSER PROXIMITY TO THE AREA.
THIS WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO GET CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE
AREA TO LEAD TO LIGHT RAINFALL LATE TONIGHT AND INTO THE AFTERNOON
TOMORROW, AS THE LOW PASSES TO OUR SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST. SOME 12Z
CAMS BRING IN MARGINAL INSTABILITY THAT COINCIDES WITH A PERIOD OF
HIGHER 0-6KM BULK SHEAR. THIS COULD LEAD TO SOME EMBEDDED HEAVIER
CONVECTIVE-DRIVEN SHOWERS WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS (PRIMARILY ON LONG ISLAND AND IN SE CT). BEST CHANCES
FOR POPS APPEAR TO BE FROM NYC-LONG ISLAND TO SE CT. HOWEVER, SLIGHT
CHANCES FOR RAIN SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE EVEN INTO INTERIOR PORTIONS OF
THE CWA.
OTHER THAN RAIN, THIS FEATURE WILL BRING SOMEWHAT GUSTY NE/E WINDS
THROUGH WEDNESDAY, 15 TO 20 MPH WITH GUSTS UP TO 25 MPH.
GIVEN STEADY NORTHEASTERLY FLOW WITH RAIN AND CLOUD COVER, HIGHS ON
WEDNESDAY WILL LIKELY BE LIMITED BY THESE FACTORS. THE GUIDANCE
DIFFERS ON HOW WARM IT SHOULD GET WITH A 10 DEGREE SPREAD AMONG THE
10TH TO 90TH NBM PERCENTILES. HAVE GONE WITH THE LOWER END OF THE
GUIDANCE FOR TOMORROW, LEADING TO HIGHS IN THE MID-TO-UPPER 60S.
SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/
AN OFFSHORE LOW IMPACTING US ON WEDNESDAY WILL BEGIN TO PUSH FARTHER
AWAY WEDNESDAY EVENING. THIS MEANS ANY ONGOING RAINFALL WILL TAPER
BY WEDNESDAY EVENING.
A RELATIVELY WEAK COLD FRONT PASSES THROUGH LATER ON THURSDAY AND
THEN HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS BACK IN. AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT ON
THURSDAY TEMPERATURES LOOK TO GO BACK TO NORMAL WITH HIGHS IN THE
UPPER 70S TO LOW 80S.
LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/
NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES WERE MADE TO THE EXTENDED FORECAST WITH NBM
GUIDANCE FOLLOWED. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS ACROSS THE NORTHEAST THROUGH
SATURDAY AND WEAKENS SUNDAY WITH A WEAK COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH
MOST LIKELY DURING SUNDAY NIGHT ALONG WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR
SHOWERS. MODELS DIVERGE ON SOLUTIONS FOR SUNDAY INTO THE BEGINNING
OF NEXT WEEK WITH THE STRENGTHEN OF AN OMEGA BLOCK THAT SETS UP
ACROSS THE US AND SOUTHERN CANADA, WITH THE ECMWF AND CANADIAN
STRONGER THAN THE GFS IN THE FORM OF A HIGHER AMPLITUDE TROUGH
ALONG THE EAST COAST AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF A BROADER CUT OFF LOW
OVER THE NORTHEAST. THIS COULD BRING MORE IN THE WAY OF SHOWERS TO
WHAT IS CURRENTLY A MAINLY DRY FORECAST FOR THE AREA (SLIGHT CHANCE
OF SHOWERS MONDAY). HIGH TEMPERATURES IN 70S EACH DAY, WITH LOWS
GENERALLY IN THE 50S TO LOW 60S, SOME UPPER 40S POSSIBLE ON CLEARER
CALMER NIGHT IN THE OUTLYING AREAS.
AVIATION /00Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/
HIGH PRESSURE WEAKENS THROUGH TONIGHT AS WEAK LOW PRESSURE
APPROACHES TO THE SOUTH. THE LOW THEN PASSES SOUTH AND EAST OF
THE TERMINALS WEDNESDAY.
EXPECT VFR THROUGH THIS EVENING, HOWEVER, TIMING OF DEVELOPING
MVFR CEILINGS EAST OF THE NYC TERMINALS MAY BE A LITTLE EARLIER
THAN FORECAST, AND POSSIBLY LATER AT THE METRO NYC TERMINALS,
AND IS DEPENDENT ON THE TIMING OF LOW PRESSURE APPROACHING TO
THE SOUTH. MVFR THEN PREVAILS INTO LATE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AT
THE NYC METRO TERMINALS AND INTO EARLY EVENING WEDNESDAY EAST OF
THE NYC TERMINALS.
BEST CHANCES OF RAIN AND/OR DRIZZLE WILL BE EAST OF NYC. CAN
NOT RULE OUT PERIOD OF IFR CONDITIONS WEDNESDAY MORNING,
ESPECIALLY EAST OF NYC.

WEDNESDAY MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON. SPEEDS WILL GENERALLY BE
10-15KT.

MARINE
A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH DAYBREAK THURSDAY
FOR THE OCEAN WATERS. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL TIGHTEN BETWEEN
HIGH PRESSURE NEAR THE AREA AND A PASSING WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE
OFFSHORE. A 15 TO 20 KNOT NE FLOW WILL GUST UP TO AROUND 25 KT AND
HELP BUILD WAVE HEIGHTS TO 5 TO 7 FEET. WHILE WINDS MAY
DECREASE WEDNESDAY EVENING, THEN 5 TO 7 FT WAVES WILL STILL
LINGER.
FOLLOWING DAYBREAK THURSDAY, SUB-SCA CONDITIONS ARE THEN EXPECTED
INTO THE WEEKEND.
HYDROLOGY
THERE ARE NO HYDROLOGIC CONCERNS THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK.
TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING
CONTINUED EASTERLY FLOW CONTINUES FOR WEDNESDAY. THIS WILL HELP
BUILD AN EASTERLY WIND WAVE WAVE COMPONENT TO 5 TO 6 FT AT 7S.
THIS COMBINATION WILL LEAD TO A HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK ON
WEDNESDAY. GIVEN WIND AND WAVE DIRECTION WILL BE PARALLEL TO
THE SHORELINE, SURF HEIGHT IS EXPECTED TO TOP OUT AROUND 4-5 FT.
DESPITE THE WIND BECOMING MORE NORTHEASTERLY ON WEDNESDAY, THE
RIP CURRENT RISK WILL WILL BE HIGH GIVEN PREVIOUSLY DISCUSSED
CONDITIONS. WITH A MORE NORTHERLY FLOW ON THURSDAY, A MODERATE
RISK OF RIP CURRENTS IS EXPECTED.
A COASTAL FLOOD STATEMENT REMAINS POSTED FOR THE SW CT AND S
WESTCHESTER COASTAL ZONES, NY HARBOR IN HUDSON COUNTY IN NJ,
AND THE NASSAU AND QUEENS SOUTH SHORE BAYS FOR THIS EVENING'S
HIGH TIDE CYCLE. FOR WEDNESDAY'S DAYTIME CYCLE, THE SAME AREAS
WILL SEE SLIGHTLY HIGHER INUNDATION, BUT STILL NOT WIDESPREAD
ENOUGH FOR AN ADVISORY, SO STATEMENTS WERE ISSUED FOR THE SAME
AREAS AS PREVIOUSLY DISCUSSED.
