.SYNOPSIS...
Mainly dry weather is expected today, although an isolated late
afternoon shower or thunderstorm cannot be ruled out. Unsettled
weather returns tonight and Sunday with scattered showers and
thunderstorms. Mainly dry weather returns on Monday, but it will
become hot and humid.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Surface high pressure and weak upper level ridging will briefly
be in control today, which will bring partly to mostly sunny
skies after some morning fog. A late afternoon shower or
thunderstorm cannot be totally ruled out west of I-81 ahead of
the next system, but the large majority of the area will be dry.
Temperatures will near, or slightly above normal for this time
of the year with highs in the 80s.

A remnant MCS and potentially a MCV moves into the region
tonight which will bring an increasing chance for showers and
thunderstorms. Severe thunderstorms are not expected tonight,
but with PWATs rapidly rising to around (or potentially above)
two inches, locally heavy rainfall/flash flooding will be a
possibility overnight. While model/ensemble guidance and CAMs
are a bit uncertain regarding where the heaviest rainfall may
occur, signals continue to point towards the Finger Lakes Region
and the NY Thruway corridor being the area that is most likely
to receive this. Lows are expected to be in the mid 60s to lower
70s, and with dewpoints rising into the mid 60s to lower 70s as
well, it will be rather humid as well.

Showers and thunderstorms likely persist into Sunday morning,
but coverage should be gradually decreasing throughout the day
as a mid level trough axis moves off to the east and high
pressure starts to move in. Some sunshine will even be possible
for parts of the Finger Lakes Region to the Mohawk Valley by the
afternoon. Showers will linger the longest across the southern
portions of the area; from the Twin Tiers southward into
Northeast PA. Highs are expected to be in the upper 70s to mid
80s with dewpoints in the upper 60s to lower 70s, making it feel
rather humid outside.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
High pressure and upper level ridging moves back into the
region Sunday night, which will result in a return to dry
weather. This will also set the stage for hot and humid weather
to return on Monday with highs in the mid 80s to lower 90s. With
dewpoints potentially in the upper 60s to lower 70s, heat
indices may at least get into the mid 90s (especially in the
valleys) and it is possible that Heat Advisories may be needed
as we get closer.

By Tuesday, a shortwave may ride along the eastern periphery of
a strong ridge located over the Central U.S., which may bring
some scattered showers and thunderstorms to the area. Otherwise,
Tuesday will once again be hot and humid with highs in the mid
80s to mid 90s.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
The ridge may start to break down by Wednesday as a cold front
approaches the area. This may bring some additional scattered
showers and thunderstorms, but will also usher in a cooler
airmass by Thursday. Multiple shortwaves embedded within a
longwave trough will introduce forecast uncertainty by the late
week timeframe. It is possible that most of the unsettled
weather remains well to the south of our region, but it is also
just as possible that these shortwaves can result in multiple
rounds of additional showers and thunderstorms. Either way, the
long term period is looking like a break from the heat.

.AVIATION /12Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...

645 AM Update

Areas of stratus and fog are lingering this morning bringing IFR
CIGs at BGM, RME and LIFR conditions at ITH and ELM. SYR and AVP
are mainly VFR early this morning.

After around 13z conditions are expected to return to VFR
areawide through the rest of today and into this evening. With
that said, the latest hi-res CAMs guidance does bring back
chances for isolated to scattered showers or t`tstorms heading
into the evening and overnight hours, especially INVOF BGM and
AVP. Late tonight and early Sunday morning a new stratus cloud
deck has the potential to develop, along with additional showers
and/or t`storms around. These should bring widespread MVFR/Fuel
Alternate restrictions to the region...with some potential for
IFR CIGs as well.

Winds will be light and variable through mid- morning, then
turning southerly this afternoon less than 10 kts.

Outlook...

Saturday Night through Sunday...Occasional restrictions
possible in showers and thunderstorms.

Monday...Mainly VFR.

Tuesday and Wednesday...Mainly VFR, restrictions from isolated showers
and thunderstorms possible
