HIGH PRESSURE WELL OFF THE EAST COAST WILL MAINTAIN A WARM...HUMID SOUTHWEST FLOW OF AIR ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH THE WEEKEND. SEVERAL WEAK DISTURBANCES WILL PASS JUST TO THE NORTH OF THE AREA...WHICH WILL WORK IN TANDEM WITH THE WARM AND HUMID AIRMASS TO PRODUCE SCATTERED...MAINLY AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THE REMNANTS OF TROPICAL STORM BARRY SHOULD INTERACT WITH AN APPROACHING FRONTAL SYSTEM FOR SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY...POTENTIALLY PRODUCING A MORE WIDESPREAD RAINFALL ACROSS THE REGION. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...

CONVECTION STARTING POPPING EARLY THIS AFTERNOON WHEN TRIGGER TEMPERATURES WHERE REACH. LITTLE HAS CHANGED SINCE YESTERDAY...MODERATELY UNSTABLE IN WARM SECTOR WITH BOUNDARY TO THE NORTH. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE...THE SURFACE FLOW TODAY WILL BE SOUTHERLY. THE FLOW FRIDAY WAS WESTERLY WHICH HELP KEEP DEW POINTS LOWER IN THE CAPITAL REGION AS THE AIR DOWNSLOPE OFF THE HELDERBERGS. CONVECTION INITIATED NEAR THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WHICH IS LOCATED TO OUR NORTH ALONG THE UNITED STATES CANADIAN BORDER AND ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN...ESPECIALLY THE ADIRONDACKS. OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES WILL FOCUS NEW CONVECTION. AFTERNOON MIXED LAYER CAPE VALUES AROUND 1500 J/KG AND MODEST DEEP LAYER SHEAR SHOULD SUPPORT SOME ORGANIZED MULTICELL THUNDERSTORMS CLUSTERS.

OTHERWISE...EXPECT AREAS OF FOG TO DEVELOP ONCE AGAIN...MAINLY IN AREAS THAT RECEIVE RAINFALL THIS AFTERNOON/EVE. FOR MINS...GENERALLY SIDED CLOSE TO MAV MOS. SUN-SUN NIGHT...AS DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE LIFTS N INTO REGION...EXPECT JET MAX...OVER SE CANADA...TO INCREASE IN STRENGTH...POSSIBLY MORE THAN CURRENT MODELS INDICATE. IN ADDITION...WEAK FRONT MAY REACH NORTHERN AREAS...BEFORE LIFTING BACK TO THE N...PROVIDING ENHANCED LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE FOR SHOWER/TSTM INITIATION. THUS...EXPECT SHOWERS/TSTMS TO DEVELOP...AND BECOME FAIRLY WIDESPREAD IN COVERAGE BY SUN AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE ADIRONDACKS INTO SOUTHERN VT. IN ADDITION...WITH MID/UPPER LEVEL WINDS BECOMING RATHER LIGHT...EXPECT SLOW MOVEMENT TO TSTMS...FURTHER ENHANCING HEAVY RAINFALL POTENTIAL.

WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAINFALL OF 1-3 INCHES IS QUITE POSSIBLE ACROSS AT LEAST SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE REGION BETWEEN SUN NIGHT AND MON...ESPECIALLY IF STRONGER SE/E LOW LEVEL WINDS MATERIALIZE. MON NT-FRI...FEW ADDITIONAL CHANGES TO EXTENDED PERIOD...WITH COOL AND SHOWERY CONDITIONS FOR TUESDAY...FOLLOWED BY A RAPID WARMING TREND FOR WED-FRI. && .AVIATION /19Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...

HAVE INCLUDED VCSHS AND CBS IN THE TAFS BETWEEN 20Z AND 03Z-04Z.

PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES REACH 1.5 TO NEARLY 2 INCHES THIS AFTERNOON...HIGHEST VALUES IN THE HUDSON VALLEY... WITH SLIGHTLY LOWER VALUES ON SUNDAY. THIS PRECIPITATION SHOULD HAVE MINIMAL EFFECTS ON AREA RIVERS...BUT LOCALIZED FLOODING OF A FEW SMALL STREAMS AND SOME NUISANCE URBAN/SMALL STREAM PONDING IS POSSIBLE WITHIN ANY HEAVIER PRECIPITATION CORES. MORE WIDESPREAD RAINFALL IS POSSIBLE LATE SUN INTO MONDAY...WHICH COULD LEAD TO MORE SIGNIFICANT RESPONSES ON AREA RIVERS/STREAMS THIS WILL BE COVERED IN THE HWO.
