.SYNOPSIS...
Secondary low pressure off the Delmarva pivots northwestward closer
to the coast this morning as high pressure over eastern Canada
gradually weakens. Low pressure starts to depart the area tonight,
with a cold frontal passage following early Wednesday. High
pressure builds in from the west thereafter and then settles over
the region Friday into the weekend.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Key Messages:
* A coastal storm will continue to impact the area bringing
  significant coastal flooding, strong to damaging winds and a long
  duration moderate to locally heavy rainfall.
* Coastal Flood Warnings remain in effect for most of the coastline,
  with widespread moderate flooding expected and locally major
  flooding for southern Nassau/SW Suffolk. Advisories remain in
  effect for the CT coastline for minor flooding. Widespread beach
  erosion and localized overwashes are also expected along the
  oceanfront. See the Tides/Coastal Flooding section for more
  details.
* Strongest winds continue early this morning. Damaging winds
  sustained 35-40 mph with gusts 55-60 mph possible across the east
  end of Long Island, with the highest winds in areas with eastern
  water exposure. Strong  winds expected elsewhere mainly in the NYC
  metro area and along the coast, with gusts 40-50 mph, highest
  across Long Island.
* Moderate to locally heavy rainfall expected into Monday afternoon.
  Additional rainfall of 1-2 inches expected for eastern CT/Long
  Island, with lesser amts of 0.5-1 inches from the NYC metro area
  north/west. Minor nuisance/poor drainage flooding is possible in
  typically flood prone areas.
The northern and southern stream will gradually phase this
morning. The guidance is finally on the same page with the
formation of a secondary low off of the Delmarva and northeast
of the main low off the Carolina coast. This secondary low will
track northwestward closer to the coast this morning and tighten
the pressure gradient over our area with the help of a 1030 mb
high in eastern Canada. Observed winds have been running below
forecast winds, but given the guidance still has the pressure
gradient tightening further this morning have decided not to
make any significant headline changes at this moment. Will
monitor trends this morning and could have more headline changes
before the afternoon update depending on observations. The only
adjustment was to have the High Wind Warning for eastern
Suffolk end at noon instead of 6 PM.
Regardless of how high winds can get, the highest will be
through this morning and then gradually lower through the day
as both the secondary low and eastern Canadian high weaken. Rain
will remain steady and light to moderate through the day. Some
isolated heavier pockets of rain are possible, mainly this
afternoon. Rain tapers from west to east tonight.
&&
.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
Low pressure drifts farther offshore on Tuesday, but broadens.
At the same time, large high pressure approaches from the west.
This places the area in a relatively tight pressure gradient for
several days. Expect breezy N/NW conditions through the short
term.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Key Messages:
* Mainly dry conditions prevail Thursday into the upcoming weekend
  with high pressure largely in control.
* Below normal temperatures are forecast on Thursday through Friday
  with highs struggling to reach 60 degrees. Nighttime temperatures
  could fall into the lower and middle 30s inland and 40s elsewhere.
* Milder weather returns next weekend with temperatures potentially
  reaching the low 70s by next Sunday.

.AVIATION /09Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
A coastal storm continues to impact the terminals through
tonight.
Conditions should fall to IFR through 12z at most terminals.
IFR conditions will then prevail through tonight although there
could be some fluctuations between MVFR and IFR at times. Rain
continues through much of the TAF period, but should become
more intermittent by tonight.
NNE gusts should range from 25-35 at NYC terminals on NW through
early this morning with potential of gusts around 40 kt across
Long Island and coastal CT terminals. Winds should weaken a bit
thereafter, but will still remain around 20 kt gusting closer to
30 kt this afternoon. Winds will continue to decrease Monday
night with peak gusts 25 kt at coastal terminals towards day
break Tuesday.
LLWS with winds at 2000 ft around 50kt through 12z.
...NY Metro (KEWR/KLGA/KJFK/KTEB) TAF Uncertainty...
Amendments likely for ceilings and visibilities through the TAF
period.
.OUTLOOK FOR 06Z TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...
Late Monday Night: Light rain tapers off into Tuesday morning. MVFR
or lower conditions. N-NE winds gusting 20-35 kt, strongest near the
coast.
Tuesday: MVFR in the morning with a chance of rain east of NYC
metro. VFR likely by the afternoon. N to NNE wind gusts G20-25kt.
Wednesday-Thursday: VFR. NW wind gusts 20-25 kt.
Friday: VFR. NW wind gusts 15-20 kt.

.MARINE...
A coastal storm will impact the waters through Monday bringing
strong winds and dangerous seas. Headlines remain unchanged
with a Storm Warning for all waters except the western Long
Island Sound and NY Harbor where there is a Gale Warning.
Across the ocean waters, gusts will be as high as 55 kt with
significant wave heights up to 20 ft. For the other waters
under a Storm Warning, gusts will be closer to 45-50 kt and
gusts in the Gale Warning areas should peak around 45 kt. Waves
on the Long Island Sound will likely reach 7-12 ft as well as
right near the entrance of the NY Harbor.
As the storm pulls away, headlines may need to be stepped down
as relatively windy conditions will continue for several days. SCA
conditions continue on all waters Wednesday into Thursday due
to building high pressure and lingering swells. There is a
chance seas fall below 5 ft on Friday.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
For most, an additional 1 to 2 inches of rain is expected. While
minor nuisance/poor drainage flooding is possible, no significant
impacts are expected with this being a long duration rainfall
and recent dry conditions.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
This forecast update has maintained much of the previous
forecast with the updated guidance continuing to show additional
surge this afternoon associated with the approach of a secondary
sfc low. While some locations have fallen short categorically
from the overnight`s high tide cycle, locations across southern
Nassau and Southwest Suffolk did reach moderate levels. There is
still some concern of isolated major flooding for locations in
Nassau County and in Lindenhurst with the afternoon high tide.
Some of this will depend on the approach of the sfc low, whether
the winds become a bit more NE than NNE, and the role, if any,
of tidal piling between the overnight and this afternoon`s high
tide.
All this said, made no change to coastal flood headlines, but
messaging on major flooding has been tempered a bit more based
on the overnight trends.
For this update, maintained the blend of 75th percentile
Stevens, 75th percentile PETSS, and deterministic STOFS and
ETSS, with some minor adjustments down to peak TWL values.
Finally along the oceanfront, widespread dune base erosion and
localized overwashes are likely during the times of high tide
thru today, via the combo of high stormtide and breaking surf
around 8 to 12 ft. The prolonged e to w sweep will likely result
in considerable beach erosion (escarpment) as well. 4-8 ft surf
along NE facing and open water exposed areas of the twin forks
of Long Island will also likely cause minor to moderate dune
erosion.
