.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 545 AM EST WED FEB 24 2016

REST OF THE PERIOD FAIRLY UNEVENTFUL. CHANCE FOR A FEW LAKE EFFECT
SNOW SHOWERS THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY AS 850MB TEMPS DROP TO
AROUND -13C. HOWEVER...FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW INVERSION HEIGHTS ARE
PRETTY LOW (AROUND 4 KFT) WITH A FAIR AMOUNT OF DRY AIR ENTRAINMENT.
0-2KM DELTA THETA-E VALUES REMAIN ABOVE ZERO AND PERSISTENT
NORTHWEST GRADIENT WILL PREVENT ANY TYPE OF BAND ORGANIZATION. DID
RAISE POPS JUST A LITTLE FOR LATE THURSDAY NIGHT/FRIDAY MORNING BUT
DONT EXPECT MUCH ACCUMULATION...A HALF INCH AT BEST. ANY RESIDUAL
LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS WILL END BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON AS FLOW BACKS
WEST AND EVENTUALLY SOUTHWEST. WILL STILL BE A FAIRLY CHILLY DAY
THOUGH WITH MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND HIGHS AT OR BELOW FREEZING.

AFTER A FAIRLY PLEASANT SATURDAY...NEXT CHANCE OF PRECIP ARRIVES
LATE SUNDAY. PRETTY HEALTHY SHORTWAVE SET TO SWING THROUGH THE
REGION WITH UPPER JET SUPPORT AND GOOD PV ADVECTION BUT EXACT TRACK
REMAINS UNCERTAIN. DOES APPEAR TO BE VERY WARM AHEAD OF THE FRONT
WITH TEMPS POTENTIALLY WELL INTO THE 50S ON SUNDAY...SUPPORTING RAIN
AS PTYPE IF ANYTHING OCCURS. THERE IS A CHANCE FOR A QUICK SHOT OF
LIGHT SNOW IN OUR NORTHERN COUNTIES SUNDAY NIGHT IF POSTFRONTAL
DEFORMATION BAND SWINGS THROUGH THE AREA BUT THAT IS QUESTIONABLE AT
THIS POINT...AS ARE THERMAL PROFILES. REGARDLESS...ANY SNOW THAT
DOES FALL SHOULD BE LIGHT.
