.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...

Surface high pressure will build into the region today, however
with an upper level trough still overhead, diurnal showers will
be possible this afternoon. Tonight will be mostly clear and
cool with some valley fog. Overnight low temperatures will drop
into the 40s.

High temperatures today and Saturday will be mainly in the mid
and upper 70s. Sunday is expected to trend warmer as the flow
becomes more westerly with highs in the upper 70s and lower 80s.


KEY MESSAGE 2...

A zonal flow pattern sets up next week with several weak waves
pushing across the region. A surface frontal boundary
dips south out of Canada on Monday and may stall out across New
York. This could lead to multiple rounds of showers and
thunderstorms through the middle of next week and several
shortwaves push through the zonal flow pattern. High
temperatures early next week will mainly in the upper 70s and
low 80s.

.AVIATION /06Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Rain showers and thunderstorms are dissipating early this
morning with clouds starting to clear. Fog will develop quickly
in the valleys and eventually spreading up to the higher
elevations. All terminals will likely see some restrictions from
fog, with ITH, BGM, and ELM with the best chance at LIFR. SYR
and RME have the lower confidence of IFR fog but still added a
tempo just in case. AVP may be more delayed with clouds
lingering but with heavier rain around the Wyoming valley this
past evening, fog will develop there as soon as the clouds
clear.

Tomorrow is looking VFR after the fog mixes out between 12Z and
14Z.

Outlook...

Saturday through Sunday...Mainly VFR.

Monday through Tuesday... Scattered showers and thunderstorms
possible with associated restrictions, especially each
afternoon.
