DISCUSSION
KEY MESSAGE 1...
A WARM FRONT WILL PUSH NORTH TOWARDS THE REGION TOMORROW MORNING
WITH INCREASING CLOUDS AND RAIN SHOWERS POSSIBLE BY MID MORNING
WEST OF THE I81 CORRIDOR. NOT EXPECTING MUCH IN THE WAY OF
THUNDERSTORMS WITH THIS FIRST WAVE OF SHOWERS, HOWEVER, BY LATE
TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND TOMORROW EVENING, THERE COULD BE SOME
CLEARING ACROSS OUR WESTERN ZONES. THIS WOULD CREATE SOME
INSTABILITY WITH CAPE OF 500 - 1000 J/KG AND THERE WILL BE SOME
DECENT 0-6 KM BULK SHEAR AT 40+ KNOTS. LATEST CAMS ARE KICKING
OFF STORMS ACROSS WESTERN NY AND PUSHING INTO OUR WESTERN
COUNTIES BY EARLY EVENING. STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY ON HOW MUCH
INSTABILITY WILL BE PRESENT, BUT SPC CONTINUES TO HIGHLIGHT
PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHERN TIER AND FINGER LAKES REGION IN A
MARGINAL RISK FOR SEVERE STORMS.
LATEST MODEL SOUNDING CONTINUE TO SHOW SOME LINGERING ELEVATED
INSTABILITY AFTER SUNSET, THAT SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO KEEP
THUNDERSTORMS GOING IN THE OVERNIGHT HOURS, BUT THE SEVERE
THREAT WILL MAINLY BE BEFORE SUNSET TOMORROW.
DEPENDING ON HOW FAR SOUTH THE FRONT WILL PUSH TOMORROW NIGHT
WILL DETERMINE SHOWER ACTIVITY FOR FRIDAY. MORE SHOWERS AND
STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE LATE IN THE DAY ON FRIDAY. LATEST MODEL
GUIDANCE KEEPS THE ENTIRE AREA MOSTLY DRY ON FRIDAY, BUT
EVENTUALLY THE FRONT WILL PUSH BACK TO THE NORTH AS A WARM FRONT
FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY, WITH MORE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
POSSIBLE ACROSS NEPA AND INTO THE SOUTHERN TIER.
KEY MESSAGE 2...
TROUGHING WILL LINGER OVER THE NE U.S. INTO SUNDAY, BUT
EVENTUALLY AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL BUILDS OVER THE REGION
SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL TREND WARMER BEGINNING
SUNDAY, WITH HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S POSSIBLE. HUMIDITY
WILL ALSO INCREASE BY THE START OF NEXT WEEK, WITH MUGGY
CONDITIONS EXPECTED. WEATHER SHOULD REMAIN MOSTLY QUIET THROUGH
MONDAY, HOWEVER, WE COULD BE ON THE PERIPHERY OF THE RIDGE
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY WITH A RING OF FIRE SET UP. SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON AND ANY CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY WILL BRING RELIEF FROM
THE HEAT.
AVIATION /00Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/
VFR THROUGH TONIGHT. A WARM FRONT WILL BE PUSHING INTO THE
REGION TOMORROW MORNING WITH RAIN SHOWERS POSSIBLE TOWARDS THE
END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. MOST SITES SHOULD STAY NEAR VFR, BUT
SOME RESTRICTIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE IN ANY HEAVIER SHOWERS
LATER TOMORROW MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON. THUNDERSTORMS ARE
POSSIBLE AS WELL BUT IT IS TOO EARLY TO TELL WHICH TERMINALS
WILL BE IMPACTED AND AT WHAT TIMES. THE HIGHEST CHANCE IS AT
KAVP BUT THE POSSIBILITY MAY HOLD OFF TILL NEAR THE END OF THE
CURRENT TAF SET.

POSSIBLE AS AS SEVERAL DISTURBANCES WILL BRING ROUNDS OF SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS.
