.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...

With a west-northwest flow and 850mb temperatures only around 4C
over the warm Great Lakes, scattered lake effect rain showers
have been present this afternoon, mainly along and north of the
NY Thruway corridor. This pattern is expected to continue
tonight right through Friday, with mainly dry conditions
elsewhere. Otherwise, it will be breezy both this afternoon and
Friday afternoon with occasional gusts of 20-30 mph possible.
Temperatures will be seasonable with lows tonight in the upper
30s to mid 40s and highs on Friday in the mid 50s to upper 60s.

One more rain-free day is expected on Saturday with high
pressure in control. Mostly sunny skies are expected with highs
in the 60s.

KEY MESSAGE 2...

The center of the remnants of what is now Hurricane Isaias will
move into the Ohio Valley on Sunday as the circulation begins to
dissipate into an open wave. This tropical moisture will surge
northeastward into our region on Sunday, especially Sunday
afternoon through Sunday night. Moderate to locally heavy
rainfall will be possible during this timeframe, but with the
quick movement of this moisture, combined with dry antecedent
conditions, the threat for flooding looks low at this time.

This moisture will depart the area on Monday, which will bring a
return to mainly dry conditions. That being said, a few
lingering light rain showers cannot be ruled out, especially in
the morning. A frontal system may bring the next chance for rain
showers by Tuesday, but timing and placement of this front is
uncertain this far out.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...

VFR throughout the TAF period. Main concern will be strong west
to northwest wind gusts Friday afternoon around 20 knots. Fog
potential at KELM is decreasing for the upcoming overnight but
still can not rule out some variability with the visibility
around sunrise.

Outlook...

Friday night through Saturday night...Mainly VFR with valley
fog possible in the morning hours.

Sunday through Monday...Showers with associated restrictions
likely.

Tuesday...Restrictions possible as another low pressure system
looks to approach the region with showers.

.BGM WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
PA...None.
NY...None.
