.SHORT TERM /REST OF TODAY/...
WILL ISSUE UPDATE...MAINLY TO TWEAK MAX TEMPS DOWNWARD A FEW
DEGREES...ESP ACROSS CENTRAL AND N. LOW/MID LEVEL CLOUD DEBRIS
FROM EARLIER MCS SLOW TO ERODE...AND THUS EXPECT MAX TEMPS TO
REACH MID-UPPER 90S...STAYING BELOW 100 IN MOST AREAS.
HOWEVER...DEEPER VALLEYS IN FAR S COULD APPROACH 100. AS FOR TSTM
POTENTIAL...LOOKS LIKE BEST CHANCE WILL BE ACROSS HIGHER TERRAIN
OF CATSKILLS...AND FAR N...AND THUS WILL MAINTAIN SLIGHT CHC POPS
IN THOSE AREAS FOR ISOLATED SHOWER/TSTM LATE THIS AFTN INTO EARLY
THIS EVE.
NO OTHER CHANGES AT THIS TIME...LOOKS LIKE WED WILL BE THE HOTTEST
DAY OF STRETCH.

WE UPDATED THE ZONE FORECAST FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THAT
FORMED SOUTH OF THE MAIN MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE COMPLEX. THESE WERE
MOVING VERY RAPIDLY SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE LAKE GEORGE SARATOGA
REGION. THE SOUTHERN FRINGE OF THE SHOWERS WILL BRUSH THE NORTHERN
PORTION OF THE CAPITAL DISTRICT. ANIMATIONS OF THE WATER VAPOR
IMAGERY SUGGEST SOME DRYING OVER WESTERN AND CENTRAL NEW YORK
INDICATING SOME EASTWARD PROGRESSION TO THE NEARLY STATIONARY
ZONE OVER NORTHEASTERN NEW YORK AND CENTRAL NEW ENGLAND.
CONVECTIVE DEBRIS CLOUDINESS IS LIKELY TO BE AROUND FOR SEVERAL
HOURS THIS MORNING...BUT A GOOD DEAL OF SUNSHINE IS LIKELY FROM
LATE MORNING THROUGH THE BALANCE OF THE DAY. SO WE DONT THINK
THAT THE MORNING CLOUDINESS WILL HAVE MUCH IMPACT ON THE HIGH
TEMPERATURES TODAY.
