390 FXUS61 KBGM 101910 AFDBGM Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Binghamton NY 310 PM EDT Mon Jun 10 2024 .SYNOPSIS... Additional scattered showers will be possible today. Drier conditions will arrive this evening, and will last through most of the week. A warm up is expected to start Tuesday, with temperatures returning to be above normal for Thursday and Friday. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/... 250 PM update... Cool cloudy weather will slowly improve this period. A large deep upper level trough is over the northeast US today. Heights will slowly rise into Tuesday as a ridge moves into the upper Great Lakes. This despite the trough axis being right over our area Tuesday. A front is helping a band of rain just north of the area east of Lake Ontario this afternoon. A few showers are making it into northern Oneida County. Elsewhere the moist northwest flow and weak forcing has created some showers from Madison to Otsego Counties. Most of the area could have a few light showers across the terrain into early evening. Tonight will be dry and cloudy. Lows will be from the mid 40s to the lower 50s. Tuesday drier air will move in ahead of high pressure moving in from the west. Light to calm winds at low levels will stop advecting in moisture from the lakes. Partial clearing will start in the west. Cold air aloft combined with highs in the 60s to lower 70s south will create some instability under the upper level trough. Some isolated afternoon and early evening showers are possible in far northeast PA and into the upper Susquehanna and western Catskills in CNY. Tuesday night the trough will slowly exit and dry air will move in. Skies will be partly cloudy with lows again from the mid 40s to lower 50s. && .SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...

Highs return to the mid and upper 70s with overnight lows in the mid to upper 50s. High pressure is expected to remain in control through Thursday with temperatures climbing into the low to mid 80s.

310 PM Update... Frontal system moves through the region on Friday bringing scattered showers and thunderstorms through the day. Precipitation still looks to move in early Friday morning for both the EURO and GFS resolutions. Canadian favors a more slower resolution with showers moving in towards the afternoon time frame. Pwat values up to 1.5 are expected with these showers leading to the potential for locally heavy rainfall. Model soundings also show some instability parameters present suggesting strong storms could also be possibility. Although this will be highly dependent on the timing of the frontal passage. High pressure builds into the region behind the front, bringing nice and dry conditions to the CWA for the weekend and into Monday. Temps will be seasonable, in the 70s and 80s through the period.
