.SYNOPSIS...
Today will be mostly dry with a better chance of rain tonight
into tomorrow as the western side of a coastal low pressure
system impacts the area. Cooler and drier weather returns by the
middle of next week.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
330 AM Update...
Rain is lingering east of I-81 early this morning and will
slowly dissipate by mid to late morning. Water vapor imagery
shows several upper level lows on the east coast, with one
weakening in Western NY that is responsible for the rain, and a
more robust low down off of the Carolina coasts. Deep convection
near the center of the low means that this low will likely
deepen over the next day or so as it slowly propagates up into
the Mid Atlantic region. The upper level low over Western NY
never completely dissipates and will help with creating a trough
between it and the coastal low. Today is looking mostly dry as
deeper moisture is still well south of the region and advection
does not pick up till later today and overnight when 850 mb
winds pick up out of the east at 40 to 50 knots.
This easterly flow tonight into tomorrow off the Atlantic will
bring in another round of rain, with east facing slopes being
favored. Eastern areas of the Catskills and Poconos may see a
period of heavier rain tonight into tomorrow with an additional
1 to 2 inches. Across the Twin Tiers, the Wyoming Valley, and
CNY, downslope winds may lead to some rain shadowing so QPF
along and west of I-81 north of the Poconos may see less rain
than modeled.

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
340 AM Update...
With a western US trough digging in and a strengthening jet
stream across the central US, the coastal low gets kicked out to
sea Monday night into Tuesday with dry NW flow taking over.
Trends have been towards the ridge in the central US to be a
little farther east so a shortwave trough that was bringing a
good shot of colder air is looking more likely to miss to the
east.
&&
.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
350 AM Update...
Despite not having as cold of an airmass move in, dry air,
clear skies, and long nights will lead to good chances of
another widespread frost and freeze Wednesday and Thursday
night. The central US ridge will eventually build into the
eastern US by next weekend with return flow helping to moderate
the temperatures back towards seasonable averages.
&&
.AVIATION /12Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
With the rain out of the region, VFR conditions are expected
until late today. Lower ceilings associated with a coastal
system will move in from the south beginning around 21z at AVP
and then spread northward to the Central NY terminals after
00z. MVFR to Fuel Alt restrictions are expected. Some guidance
was hinting at IFR but similarly to last night, any IFR will be
brief so conditions were capped at Fuel Alt for now. Rain
showers move in after 00z and visibilities will be slightly
reduced at times. Showers and restrictions will then continue
through at least the end of the TAF period.
Winds will be west to northwesterly throughout this TAF period.
Sustained speeds will be 5 to 10 kts with gusts of 15 to 20 kts.
The gusts will subside at most Central NY terminals tonight but
will remain at BGM and AVP.
Outlook...
Monday...On and off rounds of rain with associated
restrictions.
Tuesday through Thursday...Mainly VFR.
