.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...

The ridge of high pressure that has been parked over the area
for the last 10 days will continue to dominate the weather
pattern through the weekend.

On Wednesday, the ridge axis will slide east of the region,
allowing a return of SW flow and warmer air pushed into the
region. Near normal temps today in the low to mid 50s will climb
into the upper 50s to mid 60s Wed, topping out in the upper 60s
to low 70s by Thursday.

A low pressure system will track along the northern edge of the
ridge across Ontario Thursday, dragging a cold front through
the area Thursday night. This front, combined with the warm
airmass over the area could allow for some rain showers to
develop across the northern Finger Lakes into Oneida county
during the overnight hours. Boundary layer moisture may be too
low for precipitation to reach the ground, causing virga
instead. If we do get a higher influx of moisture that allows
for rain to hit the ground, only a trace to a few hundreths of
an inch are expected.

Temps behind the front will be cooler for Friday and the
weekend, but still above normal for the end of October. Highs
will be in the upper 50s to mid 60s with lows in the upper 30s
to low 40s.
