&& .NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
-- Changed Discussion --
As of 344 AM EDT Saturday...Some showers have continued through the overnight as base of upper trough and center of upper low shifts over the North Country. We should have a break in the showers later this morning as shortwave energy pushes out of our forecast area. But, expect diurnally driven showers once again this afternoon with a slight chance for thunderstorms as well. With cold pool aloft under upper level low which will remain stationary over our region through Sunday, there will be a chance for showers with thunderstorms possible each afternoon. Could also see some small hail with thunderstorms, but strong winds should not be a concern. Showers will decrease in coverage after sunset both this evening and Sunday evening. Surface temperatures will be cooler than normal during the day and near normal overnight. QPF will vary quite a bit, but some areas will have heavier rain if they have multiple thunderstorms at one location. From today through Sunday average rainfall will be around a quarter of an inch to three quarters of an inch, with locally higher amounts.

As of 344 AM EDT Saturday...A break in the unsettled pattern can be expected for mid-week as the closed upper low pushes away and a period of surface high pressure builds across the region. Cooler temperatures will trend towards seasonal normals, with highs on Tuesday in the mid to upper 70s before warming into the upper 70s to lower 80s for the second half of next week. Overnight low temperatures will largely be in the 50s for most of next week. Unsettled conditions will return as another upper- level trough swings through, although there is still plenty of uncertainty regarding timing so largely stuck to NBM guidance with some chances for precipitation starting Thursday into next weekend.
