.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...

An upper level low currently spinning over the Great Lakes will
shift east tonight and move overhead tomorrow bringing with it
rain showers and cooler conditions. Most guidance shows a dry
slot being drawn northward and wrapping up into this system,
keeping showers more isolated in coverage for the Twin Tiers on
south. Additional scattered showers are expected to continue
into Saturday night, especially during the evening, before the
upper low shifts east and eventually northeast along the New
England Coast. There looks to be a short lull in shower activity
Sunday, especially during the midday and afternoon as weak
ridging briefly builds in before the next shortwave trough
arrives Sunday night into Monday.

A noticeably cooler, more fall-like day will be in store
tomorrow with highs from the mid 40s to the mid 50s, then with
the weak ridging and more westerly flow on Sunday, high
temperatures do recover a bit with highs in the 50s to near 60
degrees. Overnight lows will be in the 30s and 40s.

KEY MESSAGE 2...

As mentioned above, the next shortwave trough will be moving
into the region Sunday night into Monday with another round of
showers. There could be some wet snowflakes that mix in prior to
daybreak Monday in the highest elevations of the Catskills and
northern Oneida County. There is also a bit of uncertainty in
terms of how widespread the shower coverage may be on Monday as
the Euro and Canadian deterministic and ensemble guidance are
stronger and farther south with this system, while the GFS is
farther north and less potent, so that will be something to
monitor.

Another break in the wet weather looks to be from late Monday
through Tuesday night or Wednesday. Then a cool and potentially
unsettled pattern takes hold of the region the rest of the week
as an upper trough settles in over the eastern U.S. with
scattered rain showers during the day and rain/snow showers at
night.

Highs are expected to be in the 50s and 60s Monday through
Wednesday before settling back in the 40s late week. Overnight
lows look to drop back into the 20s mid-to-late week.

.AVIATION /00Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
A cold front will bring rain showers and MVFR to Fuel Alt
ceilings to all Central NY terminals this evening and overnight.
There is a chance that AVP will also see showers and
restrictions early Saturday morning. Showers will be scattered,
so there will be periods when no precipitation is falling. When
showers are present, visibilities will also decrease. Coverage
will become more isolated by midday tomorrow for most terminals
with ceiling also improving. Showers and restrictions continue
through the end of the TAF period for SYR and RME.

possible tomorrow afternoon.
