 .AVIATION /06Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
High pressure builds into the region this morning, then 
offshore late morning into the early afternoon as a frontal 
system approaches.

VFR for much of Tuesday with a brief period of light snow or 
flurries possible at the terminals in the afternoon. The best 
chance will be at KSWF. MVFR/IFR conditions are then likely for 
about a 3 to 6 hour window Tuesday night as a frontal system 
moves across the area producing a wintry mix. Expect primarily 
rain at the NYC terminals and KISP. 

Light WNW-NW winds will become light and variable overnight, 
persisting through morning, then becoming southerly late 
morning/early afternoon. Winds will gradually veer to the SW 
Tuesday night, then become W behind a cold frontal passage 
during the early morning hours.

 ...NY Metro (KEWR/KLGA/KJFK/KTEB) TAF Uncertainty...

A passing snow shower or flurry possible 18Z-20Z. Confidence is
too low to include in TAF at this time. No impacts expected. 

KTEB, KLGA, and KEWR could see some freezing rain at the onset
of the precipitation around 03Z Wednesday.

.OUTLOOK FOR 06Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...

Tuesday Night: MVFR/IFR possible with precipitation ending 
around 06Z. Improving to VFR with a cold frontal passage. 

Wednesday-Thursday: VFR. NW wind gusts 20-25kt.

Friday-Saturday: VFR.
