.WHAT HAS CHANGED...

showers this weekend.

&&

.KEY MESSAGES...
1) Lake Effect rain and snow showers through the weekend.

2) Warmer and drier conditions return next week with the return
of high pressure.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...

Continued north to northwest flow will continue to pull in
enough moisture to result in scattered rain and snow showers.
These showers will be aided by the passage of several mid-level
disturbances. Opted to keep the temperatures a little warmer at
night and cooler during the day due to the clouds and
precipitation. More winter like temperature values in the 30`s
and 40`s should continue. Model soundings do show the potential
for a few afternoon wind gusts close to 20 mph Saturday with
slightly lower values Sunday. Any snow showers may result in
minor snow accumulations. The expected wind direction favors
western Madison county to Tully and perhaps Ithaca areas.

KEY MESSAGE 2...

A ridge of high pressure will build into the region early next week.
Lake clouds will prevent little sunshine from peeking through on
Monday but sunny skies return on Tuesday. Daytime temperatures will
trend warmer throughout the week with the potential for some 60s on
Thursday and Friday. Nightly temperatures will stay cool, often
falling below freezing. Despite this, most of next week will be dry
with surface high pressure in control.

.AVIATION /20Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
MVFR to Fuel Alt conditions are present this afternoon, with
brief IFR restrictions possible as lingering light snow showers
and lower ceilings impact a few terminals. Snow showers have
shifted south of KRME/KSYR, though MVFR ceilings are expected
to persist through this evening and overnight. Brief
improvements to VFR remain possible at both sites.

Lake effect snow showers are expected to develop tonight and
may impact KITH and KSYR into early Saturday morning,
potentially bringing additional restrictions.

Outlook...

Saturday...A mix of rain/snow showers possible at the Central NY
terminals (especially KSYR and KITH), with associated
restrictions.

Sunday...Lingering scattered rain and snow showers at the
Central NY terminals, mainly in the morning with associated
restrictions possible.

Monday through Wednesday...Mainly VFR.
