WEST OF WATERTOWN. WITH DAYTIME HEATING EXPECT COVERAGE TO INCREASE

UP TO 1.25 TO 1.3 INCHES SO ANY TSTM COULD PRODUCE A LOCAL DOWNPOUR.
WILL HAVE TO WATCH AREAS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN TIER ESPECIALLY
CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY FOR POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING AS THIS AREA HAD A GOOD
DEAL OF RAIN OVERNIGHT. TEMPS WILL CONTINUE BELOW NORMAL WITH HIGHS
IN THE LOW TO MID 70S.

PRECIP SHLD END BY THIS EVENING IN THE WEST AND BY LATER THIS

THROUGH THIS PERIOD. HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE IS THEN FORECAST
TO SETTLE SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY.
WHILE THE HIGH IS EXPECTED TO BRING MAINLY DRY WEATHER...WEAK SHORT
WAVES MOVING THROUGH A BROAD WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW MAY GENERATE
ENOUGH INSTABILITY TO AT LEAST PRODUCE SOME AFTERNOON CLOUDINESS.
EXPECT TO DAYTIME HIGH TEMPERATURES TO RANGE FROM THE MID 70S TO
ABOUT 80 THROUGH THIS PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
SHOWERS AND TSTMS WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE
