the nam has been too aggressive with radiational cooling... i remember a bunch of runs showing well below 0 temps in nyc this winter

Except this isn't a radiational event, its pure advection right behind the front.  So, the NAM *could* be right.

Euro has 35, but GFS has 29 and NAM has 28 at the park.  Very impressive for April 16th.  It would easily be the latest freeze at the park since 1980.  Before 1980, you have to go back to 1943 to find a freeze as late as April 16th.  They were more common before 1943.

Temps aren't supposed to drop much tonight. Should still be in the 60's at midnight

If the NAM MOS guidance is right, sure.  GFS MOS is a little cooler, 60 at 11PM and 59 at 2AM.  Remember, the end of the climo day is actually 1AM during daylight time.

8am temp is 34 degrees on the 12z euro.

It's possible that it shows below 32, in between 6z and 12z.

 

6 hour minimum temperature maps aren't out on my source for another hour.

MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE STRONG AND DEEP NEUTRALLY TILTED
UPPER TROUGH TROUGH SLIDING FROM THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY TO
APPALACHIANS ON TUESDAY...AND THEN NEGATIVELY TILTING THROUGH THE NE
TUESDAY NIGHT. ITS ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT APPROACHING THE REGION IN
THE AFTERNOON AND CROSSING IN THE EVENING.

INCREASING CHANCE FOR RAIN TUESDAY MORNING INTO EARLY AFTERNOON WITH
INCREASING LIFT AND MOISTURE CONVERGENCE AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING
COLD FRONT. IN ADDITION...WITH A 65 TO 75 KT LLJ AHEAD
OF THE COLD FRONT...WINDS WILL BE ON THE INCREASE IN THE MORNING
INTO AFTERNOON. SUSTAINED WINDS OF 15 TO 25 MPH LIKELY...HIGHEST
COAST...BUT AN INVERSION SHOULD LIMIT GUSTS MAINLY INTO THE 30S. ANY
HEAVY RAIN MAY HAVE ENOUGH DOWNWARD MOMENTUM TO OVERCOME THE
INVERSION AND BRING A HIGHER FRACTION OF THE LOW LEVEL JET TO THE
SURFACE.

WITH GULF MOISTURE TAP...INCREASING FORCING/MOISTURE CONVERGENCE MID
MORNING INTO AFTERNOON...AND WEAK ELEVATED INSTABILITY...AREAS OF
HEAVY RAIN AND EMBEDDED CONVECTION ARE POSSIBLE. SEE HYDROLOGY
SECTION FOR MORE DETAILS ON RAINFALL AND ASSOCIATED IMPACTS.

MAIN CONCERN FOR TUE AFT/EVE IS THAT MODELS HAVE BEEN FAIRLY
CONSISTENT IN SIGNALING A SYNOPTICALLY FORCED SQUALL LINE TRAVERSING
THE REGION IN THE AFTERNOON TO EARLY EVENING...WHICH WOULD HAVE
POTENTIAL TO BRING DOWN GUSTS OF 50+ MPH. THIS WILL HAVE TO BE
HANDLED BY SHORT FUSE ADVISORY/WARNING.

STRONG COLD ADVECTION EXPECTED IN THE WAKE OF THE COLD FRONT TUE
EVENING. WINDS OF 20 TO 30 MPH AND GUSTS 35 TO 45 MPH LIKELY TUESDAY
NIGHT IN ITS WAKE. ADDITIONALLY...MODELS CONTINUE TO POINT TOWARDS A
TRANSITION TO WINTRY PRECIP IN THE WAKE OF THE COLD FRONT BEFORE
ENDING...PARTICULARLY ACROSS NW ZONES. WITH SHORTWAVE INSTABILITY
COMING THROUGH...A BRIEF BURST OF MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW IS NOT OUT
OF THE QUESTION TUE EVENING N&W OF NYC. THIS POSES POTENTIAL FOR
SOME LIGHT SNOW ACCUM...AND WITH TEMPS FALLING INTO THE 20S SOME ICY
ROAD CONDITIONS OVERNIGHT.


LOW TEMPERATURES WILL BE NEAR OR BELOW FREEZING LATE TUESDAY NIGHT
INTO VERY EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING. WITH THE GROWING FOR THE ENTIRE
COASTAL AREAS AND PORTIONS OF INTERIOR NE NJ/LOWER HUDSON
VALLEY...THERE IS POTENTIAL THAT FREEZE CONDITIONS COULD BE MET FOR
MUCH OF THIS AREA.

Methinks Upton may be underestimating the winds here on the island.  In the past hour, we've had gusts up to 37 mph, and a sustained 25-30 since mid-afternoon.

 

The flight approach path for JFK goes right over us, and I've been observing planes coming in from the east at about 1500 feet, angled at a good 35-40 degrees against the crosswinds.
