.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
CLOUDS WILL BE ON THE INCREASE LATE SUNDAY MORNING AS A TROUGH
APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. THIS WILL BRING THE THREAT OF SHOWERS
TO WESTERN AREAS BY MID-AFTERNOON...WITH THE THREAT SPREADING
EASTWARD DURING THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. ALTHOUGH
CAN`T RULE OUT AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM...THE ATMOSPHERE IS
FORECAST TO BE FAIRLY STAPLE. TEMPS SHOULD REACH THE MID 60S IN
THE MOUNTAINS TO 70S ELSEWHERE. THE TROUGH SWINGS THROUGH THE AREA
SUNDAY NIGHT WITH THE THREAT OF SHOWERS DIMINISHING BY MORNING.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
MONDAY MORNING STARTS WITH ZONAL FLOW ALOFT OVER NORTHERN NEW
ENGLAND AND A WEAK SURFACE LOW JUST NORTH OF THE GREAT LAKES. AS
AN UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER JAMES BAY BEGINS TO DROP SOUTHWARD ON
MONDAY THE SURFACE LOW WILL BEGIN TO INTENSIFY. THE FLOW APPEARS
TO BE FAIRLY FAST SO IT IS STILL QUESTIONABLE WHETHER OR NOT IT
WILL BE STRONG ENOUGH TO BRING US SOME PRECIPITATION. THE BEST
CHANCE LOOKS TO BE OVER THE MOUNTAINS. A WEAK COLD FRONT MOVES
THROUGH ON TUESDAY...BUT WILL LIKELY BRING LITTLE IN THE WAY OF
WEATHER. HIGH PRESSURE THEN BUILDS OVER THE REGION FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION /21Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
SHORT TERM...VFR CONDITIONS TONIGHT AND SUNDAY MORNING. MVFR
CONDITIONS POSSIBLE SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT...IMPROVING TOWARD MORNING.

LONG TERM...
THERE COULD BE SOME MVFR CONDITIONS IN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
MONDAY EVENING AND OVERNIGHT AS LOW PRESSURE PASSES TO THE NORTH
OF THE REGION. EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE
PERIOD.

&&

.MARINE...
SHORT TERM...WINDS AND SEAS SHOULD REMAIN BELOW SCA CRITERIA
THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT.

LONG TERM...NO FLAGS EXPECTED.
