DISCUSSION
KEY MESSAGE 1
A RETURN TO MORE SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES TODAY WITH HIGH PRESSURE
IN CONTROL AND TEMPERATURES CLIMBING INTO THE 70S. DRY CONDITIONS
PERSIST THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.
INTO TONIGHT, YET ANOTHER SHORTWAVE DROPS SOUTH ALONG THE WESTERN
PERIPHERY OF A MID LEVEL TROUGH CENTERED OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC.
ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW PRESSURE AND COLD FRONT PUSH SOUTH THROUGH
NEW ENGLAND, BEFORE MOVING THROUGH LOCALLY TONIGHT. THE SYSTEM IS
MUCH LESS VIGOROUS THAN YESTERDAY'S HOWEVER, AND LIMITED MOISTURE
SHOULD PRECLUDE MUCH IN THE WAY OF PRECIPITATION. BEST CHANCES
FOR WET WEATHER AHEAD OF THE FROPA LOOK TO BE ACROSS S CT WHERE
FORCING IS BEST, BUT CAN'T BE RULED OUT ELSEWHERE EITHER. ANY
RAIN SHOULD TAPER BY DAYBREAK OR SHORTLY THEREAFTER.
WITH THE START OF METEOROLOGICAL SUMMER ON MONDAY, MAINLY DRY
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED, WITH PERHAPS A FEW DIURNALLY DRIVEN
SHOWERS AND POSSIBLY AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM, MAINLY ACROSS S
CT. TEMPERATURES REMAIN NEAR NORMAL IN LOWER TO MID 70S.
THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGHING SLIDES EASTWARD AND RIDGING BUILDS IN FROM
THE WEST RESULTING IN A WARMING TREND FOR THE END OF THE WEEK AND
NEXT WEEKEND.
KEY MESSAGE 2
THE COMBINATION OF AN INCREASING SW WIND AND AN EASTERLY SWELL
OF 3- 4 FEET AT 10S FROM DEPARTING LOW PRESSURE WILL RESULT IN A
MODERATE RISK FOR ALL AREAS. THE MODERATE RISK CONTINUES ON
MONDAY WITH AN EASTERLY FLOW PICKING UP TO 10 KTS COMBINED WITH
A SOUTHERLY SWELL.
AVIATION /15Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE NORTH AND WEST THROUGH THE
PERIOD. LOW PRESSURE AND COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE NORTH
TONIGHT. COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH TONIGHT WITH THE CHANCE FOR
SOME SHOWERS FOR POINTS N AND E OF METRO TERMINALS, BUT
CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO ADD TO TAFS AT THIS TIME.
VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD.
A WNW FLOW SETS UP THIS MORNING, INCREASING TO 10 TO AROUND 15
KT, HIGHEST FOR KJFK. SEA BREEZES MOVE THROUGH KJFK, KISP, KBDR,
AND KGON. LESS LIKELY AT KLGA, BUT COULD BRIEFLY MOVE THROUGH,
THEN PUSH EAST, SO ADDED A TEMPO GROUP FOR THIS POSSIBILITY.
A LIGHT N TO NNE FLOW SETS UP OVERNIGHT FOR THE METRO TERMINALS,
WITH OUTLYING TERMINALS BECOMING LIGHT AND VARIABLE.
GUSTS TO 20 KT LOOK TO BE MORE OCCASIONAL AT THIS TIME DURING
THE AFTERNOON.
...NY METRO (KEWR/KLGA/KJFK/KTEB) TAF UNCERTAINTY...

AMENDMENTS ARE POSSIBLE.
