.SYNOPSIS...
The frontal boundary that has remained nearly stationary across
the area the last couple of days will finally move off to the
east today, which will allow for showers and thunderstorms to
gradually end from west to east. A brief dry period is expected
tonight to midday Sunday, before unsettled weather returns
later Sunday and early next week.

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
430 AM Update:

The stalled frontal boundary that has been over the region the
past couple of days will finally kick off to the east today as a
cold front. This will allow for a gradual end to the showers
from west to east.

Before this occurs, early this morning, there has been a
resurgence of showers and isolated thunderstorms across the
area as a subtle shortwave moves through. This has also been
aided by a ribbon of deep layer moisture flux convergence
stretching from the Twin Tiers to the Mohawk Valley and PWATs
around 1.50 inches. Fortunately, the showers that have developed
across this region have been somewhat progressive, but there
have been some brief instances of backbuilding/training, which
has resulted in some spots getting a quick 1-2 inches of rain.
With this favorable setup for some pockets of Flash Flooding,
the Flood Watch has been extended until noon today. The Flood
Watch was cancelled for Steuben, Chemung, and Schuyler counties
as the threat for heavy rain has shifted east of those counties.

By this afternoon, the showers/thunderstorms will move east of
the area as drier air advects in behind the departing cold
front. Skies will also gradually clear behind the front, which
will allow for mostly sunny skies by late this afternoon.
Temperatures will be seasonable with highs in the lower to mid
70s.

Brief ridging and surface high pressure will be in place
tonight, which will keep conditions dry with partly cloudy
skies. Some patchy fog will be possible, especially across areas
that have received recent rainfall and in the usual valley
locations. Lows are expected to be in the lower to mid 50s, with
some upper 40s possible across parts of northern Oneida County.

Sunday will start off dry, but the next system will start to
move into the region by late in the day, which will bring an
increasing chance of showers (and possibly a thunderstorm) once
again. That being said, at this time, the most widespread
rainfall looks to hold off until Sunday night. Otherwise, Sunday
will feature increasing clouds with highs in the 70s once again.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
330 AM update...

High pressure will retreat to the east by Sunday night allowing
unsettled weather to return. A closed upper low will dig into
the Western Great Lakes during this period with falling upper
heights over CNY and NEPA inducing an increasing low level jet
and returning deep moisture. Large scale vertical lift will
accompany a mid-level jet streak rotating around the base of the
low for Monday. Showers will increase within the broad scale
lift on Sunday night and locally heavy rainfall possible later
Monday through Monday night with localized areas potentially
seeing up to another 1.5 inches of rain.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
330 AM update...

Deterministic and ensemble modeling continues to suggest a slow
moving closed upper low over the Great Lakes will eject another
short-wave around its base and into the Northeast through Tuesday
morning with a surface cold front trailing slightly behind. A plume
of anomalously high PW values will surge (again) into the region
with some probability for values to be greater than 1.5 inches. 24
hour rainfall amounts are likely to range from 0.5 to 1.0 inches
with a 20-30% probability of exceeding 1.5 inches by Tuesday
evening. These parameters coming together continue to suggest the
potential for additional excessive rainfall and possible localized
flash flooding in already sensitive basins.

The cold frontal passage expected later Tuesday will usher in drier
air and high pressure at least into Friday. The overall pattern
across the CONUS will take on a deep trof in the Pacific Northwest
with a responding ridge over the Central and Northern Plains and a
Maritime low. This will leave CNY and NEPA embedded within a more
temperate NW flow with temperatures in the 70s to lower 80s by
week`s end and generally low chances for showers.

&&

.AVIATION /11Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Plenty of low level moisture, combined with some scattered
showers will result in widespread restrictions at least in the
Fuel Alternate category early this morning, and likely IFR-or-
worse at times. Gradual improvement from west to east is
expected later this morning. By the mid-afternoon, all
terminals are expected to return to VFR and it is expected to
remain that way through the end of the TAF period (at least
through 12Z Sunday). There is a chance for some patchy fog after
06Z, but confidence is low at any particular terminal right now,
so left out of the TAFs for now.

Outlook...

Sunday...Early morning fog and associated restrictions possible
at KELM; otherwise mainly VFR.

Sunday night through Tuesday...Multiple rounds of showers and
thunderstorms will likely result in occasional restrictions.

Wednesday...Mainly VFR.
