ACROSS ONT AND LOWER MI. THE OTHER IS FORMING OVER THE DELMARVA
REGION AND SOUTHEAST PA. THE FORMER AREA OF SHOWERS AND STORMS
SHOULD CROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND
EARLY EVENING...WITH PERHAPS SLIGHT WEAKENING IN INTENSITY...AS
THE AIR MASS ACROSS CENTRAL NY/NORTHEAST PA HAS BEEN SOMEWHAT
CLOUDIER/MORE STABLE SO FAR TODAY. SINCE THERE IS STILL A SMALL
WINDOW FOR FURTHER DESTABILIZATION LATE THIS AFTERNOON...AND THIS
AREA IS CLOSER TO THE BETTER HEATING THAT HAS OCCURRED DOWN OVER

HEAVY RAIN AND GUSTY WINDS...ACROSS SECTIONS OF NORTHEAST PA AND

OVER THE NORTHERN FINGER LAKES...MOHAWK VALLEY...SOUTHERN TUG
HILL...AND CATSKILL ZONES...ESPECIALLY FROM TUE NIGHT INTO WED
EVENING.

BY THU...AN AMPLIFIED CLOSED LOW FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR...WILL
BEGIN TO LIFT OUT ACROSS THE CANADIAN MARITIMES...WITH RISING
HEIGHTS ACROSS NY/PA...AND MAINLY SUNNY SKIES.

AS MENTIONED ABOVE...THIS PERIOD WILL FEATURE BELOW NORMAL TEMPS
FOR EARLY JULY...WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S...AND
LOWS IN THE 40S AND LOWER 50S.

TEMPS APCHG 20C. SO...TEMP TREND WILL SHOW WRMG THRU THE PD WITH
HI/S WELL ABV NRML BY THE END OF THE PD. GNRLY FLWD HPC GUID FOR
TEMPS BUT DID DIAL BACK A BIT IN THE TEMPS NEAR THE END TO BLEND
BETTER WITH THE SRNDG OFFICES AND THE LATEST MEX GUID.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
