2) High pressure builds into the area resulting in drier and
warmer weather for most of next week.

.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...

Continued northwest flow coupled with several mid-level
disturbances will contribute to several rounds of light rain and
snow showers through Sunday. Continue to favor eastern Finger
Lake locations eastward to the hills south of Syracuse near
Tully into Cortland and Madison counties for any localized
snowfall of an inch or two tonight into Sunday morning. Finger
Lake moisture and terrain make these locations favored over
other spots. Temperatures generally look to remain in the 30`s
to perhaps low 40`s through Sunday.

The 850mb ridge axis does not pass through our area until
Monday night. Therefore, we remain locked in the cool, cloudy
northwest flow pattern on Monday. Wouldn`t be surprised to see
pockets of drizzle lingering into Monday under the thick stratus
cloud deck. Temperatures remain cool only in the 40`s on
Monday.

KEY MESSAGE 2...

For Tuesday through Saturday: General upper
level ridging remains over the eastern US. There could be a very
weak disturbance or front passing through toward Friday.
Otherwise, high pressure looks to remain in control right
through Saturday (if current timing holds). Temperatures will
see a gradual warming trend through the week, reaching about 15
degrees above average for daytime highs by Friday and Saturday
(50`s and low 60`s). With the generally clear skies and light
winds, overnight lows will be on the seasonably cool side,
mainly in the 30`s through the week. Overall a very pleasant
and fair stretch of late fall weather looks to be in store.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Mainly MVFR to Fuel Alternate restrictions continue this
afternoon with occasional fluctuations up and down to VFR and
IFR. There are also some scattered lake effect snow showers
around, primarily impacting KITH and KBGM.

Snow showers will mix with rain through the afternoon from the
lower to higher elevations. A mixture of lower MVFR to IFR
CIGs/VSBYs expected, especially within showers, and over the
higher terrain. Restrictions are expected to last through the
end of the TAF period.

Outlook...

Sunday...Lingering scattered rain and snow showers at the
Central NY terminals, mainly in the morning with associated
restrictions possible.

Monday through Thursday...Mainly VFR.
