KEY MESSAGE 1...

Surface high pressure continues to build into the area, with
nights starting to get a little longer and some boundary layer
moisture in place, valley fog will could develop in the
overnight hours, lasting through sunrise, across the Twin Tiers

KEY MESSAGE 2...

The weather pattern will turn more active late in the weekend and
into early next week as a broad upper level trough digs into the
Northeast US. There are some storm ingredients lining up during
the early week, with a few hundred J/kg of CAPE and over 25
knots of bulk shear, and PWATs around 1-1.5 inches. Overall, it
will be a more active period in the early week, but ingredient
values are lower than over the past few weeks. Temperatures will
remain seasonable through next week.
