.SYNOPSIS...
A warm front will bring a wide range in temperatures to the
region this afternoon, along with periods of showers and
thunderstorms as a few upper level disturbances roll across the
area. A cold front will push east of the area Thursday morning,
with drier and cooler weather expected for Friday. A dry weekend
is on tap, and temperatures will begin climbing back up to near
normal on Sunday, and above normal again on Monday and Tuesday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...

330 PM Update...

A maritime layer coming from the east continues to persist over our
area. A warm front associated with a low pressure system over the
Great Lakes attempts to move in from the west this evening. It
experiences push back from the maritime air mass, this causes the
warm front to remain stationary over our area for an extended period
of time. At 0Z the maritime layer starts to subside as the warm
front pushes into our region with convective rain showers and
thunderstorms ahead of it. Strong low level winds push warmer air
aloft causing a temperature inversion, this caps our area and keeps
us stable ruling out the possibility of severe thunderstorms.
Stronger instability is present over the west of our CWA, if
anything were to develop it would weaken once it reaches the cooler
maritime airmass.

A chance of scattered rain showers continue tonight with mild
temperatures in the 50s and the low 60s. Cold front moves in early
tomorrow morning with cooler temperatures. The front is
expected to push far enough SE to limit the potential for severe
thunderstorms, although NE PA could see pop up thunderstorms in
the afternoon.Thursday night high pressure will dominate with
clearing skies and cooler temperatures.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
2 PM Update...

Friday a large surface high pressure system over the western
Great Lakes combined with the western portion of an upper level
trough will bring a NW flow across the area into Saturday. This
will advect a cold Canadian airmass into the region, keeping
temperatures below normal. Highs Friday and Saturday will be in
the 40s across CNY with upper 40s to mid 50s over NEPA.
Lows will be in the 20s Friday and Saturday nights.

The surface high will slowly drift east to be centered almost
overhead Saturday night.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
2 PM Update...

This period will be dominated by a strong ridge of high pressure
sitting over the region, keeping conditions mostly warm and
dry. The surface high moves to northeast US NE coast and
stalls. Some guidance is hinting at a weak wave riding the
northern edge of the ridge and bringing a some light rain
showers across the northern portion of the CWA Monday night into
Tuesday morning. Capped these PoPs at slight chance given the
lack of model certainty and the fact that the ridge overhead
should be strong enough to squash any precip trying to develop.

A warming trend will occur is expected through this period,
with highs on Sunday in the 50s, climbing to the 70s Wednesday.
Lows in the low and mid 30s Sunday night climbs to the 40s
Tuesday night.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
All of our terminals in central NY / northeast PA were under the
influence of a east to southeasterly marine layer. KBGM and
KAVP were still MVFR with the rest of the terminals mixing out
the lower ceilings to VFR conditions due to insolation. We
expect showers and even a rumble of thunder to cross the region
tonight. This combined with nighttime cooling will lead to MVFR
and even locally some IFR conditions late this afternoon into
tonight. Confidence is low as to where and how long the IFR
conditions will last. We are most confident at KBGM and for a
brief time at KSYR and KRME due to higher chance for visibility
restricting showers. Then late tonight and Tammara morning we
expect all terminals to range from MVFR to again IFR at BGM
which will all improve to VFR late morning/early afternoon. KBGM
likely will be the holdout and linger with MVFR to 18z or
beyond.

Winds will be southeast to south most terminals through tonight
at 10 to 20 knots with some gusts to 30 or higher. KELM likely
will be more southwesterly. We also have LLWS at KRME where a
backed flow up the Mohawk Valley is leading to LLWS between 00z
and 10z. Additionally, KAVP will likely see LLWS 02z to 14z as
the marine layer is more persistent.

Outlook...

Thursday...Showers and associated restrictions; low chance for
daytime thunderstorms.

Friday through Monday...Mainly VFR expected.
