.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...

We start off with high pressure moving across New England today
bringing another pleasant day to the region. The high pressure
then slides off the east coast on Tuesday setting up a warm
south-southwest flow pattern which should last for most of the
week. While starting off in the upper 70`s and low 80`s today,
temperatures will start to slightly increase each day with the
potential for some valley locations to reach the low 90`s on
Thursday. Conditions are expected to become muggier as well with
lows for many locations in the mid and upper 60`s by the end of
the week. Our NBM guidance continues to show a very high
temperature bias and was blended with Consall guidance to make
the temperatures more in line with model consensus. Some
uncertainity does exist as well with regards to if showers and
thunderstorms will lower temperatures a bit after Tuesday.


KEY MESSAGE 2...

High pressure should keep the region dry through Tuesday.
However, a weak warm frontal boundary and mid-level trough
should provide enough lift for a scattering of showers and
thunderstorms Wednesday. Heights increase a bit Thursday which
should lower the coverage of showers and thunderstorms compared
to Wednesday. Model and ensemble timing still indicates a cold
front moving toward the region Friday and Saturday. This would
provide the lift to increase the coverage of showers and
thunderstorms a bit. This front may end up decaying over our
region which would keep some isolated activity around Sunday.

Currently, it looks like heavy rainfall is the biggest threat
from showers and thunderstorms with modeled PW values from 1.5-2
inches. Getting enough shear and instability at the same time
for strong to severe thunderstorms is quite a bit more
uncertain given we are still several days away.

.AVIATION /06Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Mainly VFR conditions are expected through most of the TAF
period (at least through 06Z Tuesday), but there are a few
exceptions. First, patchy fog is possible at KELM this morning
which may bring occasional IFR visbys there prior to sunrise.
Patchy fog may also briefly impact KSYR during the same
timeframe, with MVFR visbys possible there. Also, stratus deck
will likely bring some MVFR to Fuel Alternate ceilings at KITH
and KBGM this morning. Any restrictions from fog/stratus will
likely dissipate by 12Z, resulting in a return to VFR conditions
area-wide.

Outlook:

Tuesday...Mainly VFR.

Wednesday through Friday...Scattered showers and thunderstorms
may bring occasional restrictions, especially each afternoon.

.BGM WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
