NO OTHER CHANGES MADE. && PREVIOUS DISCUSSION BELOW. .SHORT TERM (TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY)...A COLD FRONT OVER WESTERN NEW YORK WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON. LATEST KENX RADAR SHOWING RAIN SHOWERS SCATTERED ACROSS THE CWA AT THIS TIME. THERE WAS DECENT CELLS ON THE RADAR EARLIER THIS MORNING. KALY PICKED UP 55 HUNDREDTHS OF AN INCH WITH THE INITIAL CELLS THAT MOVED THROUGH. MODELS ARE CONTINUING TO CONVERGE WITH THE SHORT TERM FORECAST. THE GFS AND NAM HAVE BACKED OFF WITH THE QPF VALUES FOR THIS MORNING/AFTERNOON. OVERALL 24 HOURS FLOOD GUIDANCE IS AROUND 6 TO 7 INCHES...SO WE ARE NOT ANTICIPATING ANY MAJOR FLOOD PROBLEMS TODAY. THE ONLY EXCEPTION WOULD BE ANY DOWNPOURS IN THUNDERSTORMS THAT OCCUR IN POOR DRAINAGE AREAS. THE COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE OUT OF THE REGION THIS EVENING. COOLER AND DRIER AIR WILL WORK ITS WAY INTO THE CWA AND WE SHOULD HAVE A DECENT DRYING PERIOD BETWEEN TONIGHT AND EARLY FRIDAY. MODELS ARE NOW CONVERGING TO AN UNSETTLED START TO THE WEEKEND. WITH THE COMBINATION OF A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM THAT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY LATE FRIDAY INTO THE FIRST PART OF THE WEEKEND AND THE REMNANTS OF OPHELIA. MODELS ARE GENERATING DECENT QPF AMOUNTS FOR LATE FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. THE KEY FACTOR WILL BE HOW FAR WEST OPHELIA TRACKS AS IT CONTINUES ITS PROGRESSION NORTHWARD. AT THIS TIME...HAVE ALTERED THE GRID/FORECAST PACKAGE TO INCREASE PROBABILITY OF PRECIPITATION FOR LATE FRIDAY AND MUCH OF SATURDAY. .LONG TERM (SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)...THERE STILL MAY BE SOME WRAP AROUND MOISTURE WITH THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM EARLY SUNDAY. BY SUNDAY EVENING...DRIER AIR SHOULD START TO TAKE HOLD AS THE LOW CONTINUES TO MOVE OFF THE MAINE COAST AND HIGH PRESSURE STARTS TO BUILD IN. HIGH PRESSURE WILL TAKE HOLD DURING THE DAY ON MONDAY. BY TUESDAY A UPPER LEVEL TROUGH/UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL DROP DOWN ACROSS THE NORTHEAST. THIS WILL BRING COOLER AIR AND THE THREAT OF MORE RAIN. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS BACK IN FOR WEDNESDAY...BRINING DRIER AND SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES. .AVIATION...SCATTERED SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS WILL PERSIST TILL AROUND NOON. A COLD FRONT WILL BE JUST WEST OF THE REGION AT 800 AM THIS MORNING. IT WILL CROSS INTO WESTERN NEW ENGLAND AND SOUTHEAST NEW YORK EARLY THIS AFTERNOON AND BE NEAR BOSTON AND NEW YORK CITY AROUND 800 PM. EXPECT MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS IN PRECIPITATION AND AREAS OF FOG THIS MORNING. THERE WILL MVFR CIGS THIS AFTERNOON BUT IMPROVEMENT TO VFR IS EXPECTED LATER IN THE DAY. && .HYDROLOGY...WITH THE LACK OF RAINFALL THIS MONTH...RIVERS...STREAMS AND RESERVOIRS ARE VERY LOW. FFG VALUES FOR 1 HR ARE AROUND 2 TO 3 INCHES...3 HR RATES ARE 3 TO 4 INCHES...6 HR ARE AROUND 4 INCHES AND 24 HOURS ARE 6 TO 7 INCHES. THE RAIN WE RECEIVE TODAY SHOULD NOT BE ENOUGH TO CAUSE ANY MAJOR FLOOD PROBLEMS...THE ONLY EXCEPTION WOULD BE A BRIEF DOWNPOUR FROM A THUNDERSTORM THAT COULD CAUSE LOCALIZED FLOOD PROBLEMS IN POOR DRAINAGE AREAS. QPF VALUES WITH THE PRECIP IN ADVANCE OF THE FRONT SHOULD BE LESS THAN AN INCH...WITH A FEW LOCALLY HIGHER QPF AMOUNTS. A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY ON FRIDAY. BY FRIDAY NIGHT INTO THE WEEKEND...THIS SYSTEM WILL BRING A DECENT SHOT OF RAIN TO THE REGION. .FIRE WEATHER... A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON. AHEAD OF THIS FRONT RAIN SHOWERS WILL BE LIKELY WITH A FEW RUMBLES OF THUNDER ALSO POSSIBLE. WINDS TODAY WILL BE OUT OF THE SOUTH EARLY THIS MORNING...BUT AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE REGION...THE WIND WILL SHIFT TO THE WEST/NORTHWEST 5 TO 10 MILES AN HOUR IN MOST LOCATIONS LATER THIS AFTERNOON. THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY WILL BE HIGH...AND THE AIR WILL STAY SATURATED WITH SHOWERS IN THE REGION EARLY TODAY. AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON...RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES WILL LOWER TO NEAR 60 DURING THE EVENING. .ALY WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... CT...NONE. MA...NONE. NY...NONE.
