.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...

Conditions will be warm and largely dry through midweek thanks
to a building ridge of high pressure and a strong southwesterly
flow aloft. Temperatures will rise into the 60s and low 70s this
afternoon with sunshine mixed with some mid and high level
clouds. Well above average temperatures more synonymous with
mid- to-late September will continue through midweek along with
mild nights. The peak of the warmth is expected to occur
Wednesday with 850mb temperatures between 12C and 15C and highs
range from the upper 60s to the mid 70s. A bit of a breeze is
expected to become more noticeable moving into Wednesday night
and Thursday with an increasing pressure gradient over the
region.

While conditions will be rain-free for most during the first
half of the week, some showers cannot be ruled out on Tuesday. A
surface low pressure system will move over the Upper Midwest
later Monday. Extending from the low will be a warm front that
partially lifts through the region. Depending on the placement
of the front, some passing showers will be possible during the
day on Tuesday, mainly across the Finger Lakes region and
northern portions of Central NY.


KEY MESSAGE 2...

The aforementioned surface low will push a cold front through
the region late in the week. Showers are expected to move in on
Thursday and continue into Friday. While the front may not fully
depart the region Friday as a another low pressure system forms
over the Atlantic, the supporting upper trough is expected to
move from the west helping to keep the chance for showers around
to end the work week. Guidance does suggest that a dry slot
will also move into the region on Friday, which can lead to a
lull in the wet weather, especially during the midday and
afternoon.

With a lingering upper low and the flow becoming more
northwesterly to start the weekend Saturday, some additional
light rain showers are possible.

Following the frontal system late in the week, temperatures
will trend cooler into the weekend. Even so, temperatures will
generally remain above average for this time of year.
