.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...

A cold front will push east of the region this morning, ushering
in cooler air behind it. Northwest flow off of the lake will
maintain lingering lake clouds through much of the day. High
pressure building eastward from the Midwest will begin to
influence the region tonight, setting the stage for another
extended stretch of dry weather.

Cool and dry conditions will persist into the weekend, with
northwest flow continuing through Saturday. By Sunday an upper
level ridge will begin building into the region from the west,
allowing flow aloft to shift more westerly. This ridge will
remain in place through the middle of next week, accompanied by
surface high pressure that will maintain the unusually dry
pattern.

Temperatures will be coolest Friday and Saturday, with afternoon
highs ranging from the mid 50s to lower 60s. A gradual warming
trend will follow Sunday through the middle of next week with
highs climbing into the upper 50s to upper 60s. Some locations
may even approach 70 degrees at times next week. The next
opportunity for more meaningful rainfall looks to arrive late
Wednesday into Thursday of next week.

.AVIATION /12Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...

Northwest flow will continue to bring colder air over the warm
lakes, resulting in lake effect clouds and MVFR to FUel Alt
ceilings across central NY terminals this morning.

Skies are forecast to scatter out to VFR during later in the
morning hours, but may hold on into the early afternoon,
especially around ITH, as lake effect clouds tend to be slow to
clear. AVP will remain VFR through the period. West to northwest
wind gusts of 20 to 25 knots are expected from late morning
through the afternoon hours.

Outlook...

Friday evening through Tuesday...Mainly VFR.

.BGM WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
