.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...

Cold air continues to slowly filter in over the Great Lakes and
with the flow more northwesterly, some lake effect rain showers
likely develop. Day time temperatures will be around
climatological averages for mid november (50`s) though cloud
cover at night will keep lows a little warmer than average
(30`s-40). Additional rainfall amounts with the lake effect
showers today will be mostly light, with less than a tenth of an
inch expected for most of the area. NEPA may miss out on most
of the precipitation tonight into tomorrow.

An additional shortwave dives out of the NW on the back side of
the exiting shortwave trough that brings a reinforcing shot of
cooler air. 850 mb temps drop back to just below 0C allowing for
more lake effect rain showers to develop. The flow may allow
these to continue into Wednesday as the rest of the region dries
out a bit.

KEY MESSAGE 2...

Not much overall change in the overall setup for later this
week. A clipper type system looks to track into the Ohio Valley
Wednesday and Thursday. This feature then potentially
translates to a miller-b coastal off of the Mid- Atlantic by
Friday. The 00Z operational ECMWF and GFS runs (11/8) represent
the northern end of the ensemble spread with some other member
tracks well south of the region. Uncertainity remains high with
the details but continue to feature chances of rain and snow
Thursday and Friday with some rain and snow showers lingering
into Saturday on the backside of the low. For measurable snow,
higher elevations are still favored if the low track is just
south of the region. This would allow enough cold air/dynamical
cooling to occur with precipitation.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Current restrictions and scattered rain showers will continue
for the next few hours. Conditions are expected to improve to
VFR going into the late morning/early afternoon hours.

Outlook...

Sunday afternoon...Mainly VFR. Showers and possibly
restrictions return Sunday night.

Monday...Lingering showers and possible restrictions, mainly in
the morning.

Tuesday through Wednesday...Mainly VFR with low chance for
showers at RME.

Thursday...Showers and associated restrictions possible.
