A STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVER THE REGION WILL PROVIDE TIMES OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FOR THE REST OF THE WEEKEND...PRIMARILY DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. A STRONGER COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP THROUGH THE AREA ON MONDAY WITH ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND STORMS. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN FOR TUESDAY WILL BRING US A FAIR, BUT COOLER MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/... TRAINING ECHOES HAVE TAKEN MOST OF OUR ATTENTION THIS EVE. ECHOES ARE MARCHING ALONG AN OLD OUTFLOW BNDRY WITH A WRM FNT SINKING SLWLY SWRD ACROSS CNTRL NY TO NEAR THE PA BRDR. WEAK UA RIPPLES ADDING TO THE ENERGY WILL CONT THRU THE NGT.

THE MORNING LOOKS MAINLY QUIET WITH AGAIN THE FAVORED AFTERNOON HEATING TIMES THE BEST CHANCE FOR PRECIP. DIURNAL TRENDS LOOK TO TAKE OVER AGAIN SUNDAY EVENING...FOLLOWED BY A COLD FRONT APPROACHING THE REGION ON MONDAY. GFS DOES NOT MAKE MUCH OF THIS FEATURE...BUT THE NAM AND ECMWF APPROPRIATELY DEVELOP THE POTENTIAL FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE AFTERNOON AS THE MUCH COOLER AIRMASS MOVES IN FROM THE NORTH. ON MONDAY NIGHT...WILL FOLLOW THE GFS TRENDS OF PRECIPITATION CHANCES WANING. DO NOT LIKE THE LOOKS OF THE SFC LOW AND ASSOCIATED HEAVY PRECIP ON THE NAM LATE MONDAY NIGHT AS THIS APPEARS TO BE SUFFERING FROM SOME FEEDBACK ISSUES. HIGH PRESSURE AND COOLER TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED ON TUESDAY. BLENDED MOS GUIDANCE SEEMED TO FIT OUR PREVIOUS FORECAST...ALTHOUGH SUNDAY WILL BE TRICKY AS THE AIRMASS WILL BE QUITE WARM UNDER THE THERMAL RIDGE. SHOULD WE BREAK OUT INTO SOME DECENT SUNSHINE...SOME PARTS OF NEPA AND THE SRN TIER OF NY COULD REALLY SOAR INTO THE 80S TO NEAR 90...SIMILAR TO THIS AFTERNOON. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
