DISCUSSION

KEY MESSAGE 1...

Cold front shifts east of the area this morning and drier air moves over the region for today. The area of low pressure stationed across the Mid-Atlantic Coast and across the Great Lakes could bring some light showers later this afternoon and evening, but best chances appear to stay west/east of the area at this time. Chances for rain increase again for this weekend, as an upper level low moves over central NY on Saturday. This system will bring periods of rain rain showers right through Sunday morning. There will be a brief lull in shower activity on Sunday and then another upper trough dips down across the region and brings additional rain chances Sunday night into Monday. A slight reprieve from wet conditions appear possible late Monday through Wednesday, before an unsettled pattern takes hold of the region towards the end of the week.

AVIATION /06Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/

Any lingering MVFR conditions should be short lived and improve by 09Z. VFR through most of the TAF period with light winds. Additional ceilings should begin to form with the potential to lower to MVFR around the time the current TAF period ends.

Outlook...

Saturday through Sunday...Showers may bring occasional restrictions.

Monday...Mainly VFR though lingering showers also possible.

Tuesday...Mainly VFR with low chance for showers at RME.
