.WHAT HAS CHANGED...
Some slight changes to the weekend shower chances and cloud
cover.

&&

.KEY MESSAGES...

1) First taste of fall continues through Friday.

2) Noreaster still expected along the coast this weekend.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...

High pressure will remain anchored over the region through
Friday. With clear skies and light winds a few locations have
the potential for lows in the 30`s the next couple of nights.
The favored areas for this would be in the Western Catskills and
Northern Oneida county. Elsewhere values should end up a bit
warmer overnight with ample sunshine warming the entire region
into the 60`s for daytime highs.

KEY MESSAGE 2...

A Noreaster is still expected to track close to the Eastern
Seaboard this weekend. Bands of clouds and rain showers should
move westward toward the region. Some potential is present for
the moisture to make it as far west as I-81. However, our region
will also be under the influence of high pressure to the
northwest which will limit how far west the clouds and showers
make it. Similar to the previous update, a cluster of ensemble
members does advertise a wetter weekend than what is forecasted.
For now, continued with the slight to low chance of showers.

The Noreaster should exit the region by Monday with high
pressure building in early next week.

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
VFR conditions expected through the day on Thursday with mainly
SKC conditions. Some morning fog will be possible for ELM, but
confidence remains low. Winds out the east in the 5 to 10 knot
range with gusts in the 15 to 20 knot range this afternoon will
weaken this evening and overnight to near calm. Winds will
increase on Thursday out of the northeast in the 5 to 10 knot
range with gusts to 15 knots possible.

Outlook...

Thursday Night Through Friday...Mainly VFR; potential for
patchy fog and IFR restrictions in early morning hours.

Friday Night through Monday...Mostly VFR with a low chance for
showers east of I81 corridor.
