.SYNOPSIS...
-- Changed Discussion --
Outside an isolated shower to two near the Adirondacks, dry
weather is expected today with partly cloudy skies and
temperatures in the 70s. Our dry pattern continues, but with
more seasonable temperatures of 60s to lower 70s during the day
and lower 40s to lower 50s at night. Chances for rain will
increase Monday evening into Tuesday as a weak low pressure
moves towards Lake Ontario with additional chances midweek when
that low pressure is replaced by another.

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
-- Changed Discussion --
As of 309 AM EDT Saturday...A few sprinkles are possible in the
Adirondacks today as a weak trough lingers in northern New York.
Otherwise, quiet weather with patchwork cloud cover will typify the
day. Highs will reach the 70s. It will be a real nice Saturday all
in all! For tonight, cool conditions in the mid 40s to mid 50s are
expected with more valley fog possible. Though it may not be as
prevalent in eastern Vermont with mid to high clouds. A few models
are trying to spit precipitation out across the Connecticut River
Valley towards dawn on Sunday. However, the lower levels of the
atmosphere appear quite dry, and largely think this will be virga.
During the day on Sunday, high pressure will build south, extending
into our area, with dry and cooler weather ranging from the
upper 60s to mid 70s.

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
-- Changed Discussion --
As of 309 AM EDT Saturday...We will finish up the weekend dry as we
remain under the influence of upper level ridging and surface high
pressure. However, rain chances will gradually increase from the
west as an upper level trough over the Great Lakes shifts eastward
toward Quebec. This feature will be proceeded by a weak disturbance
approaching ahead of the main upper low. This may be enough to spark
a few showers on Monday, mainly in northern NY as moisture will
become more limited as one heads into VT. Some of this shower
activity could make it into VT overnight Monday night, but chances
remain low at this time given lack of model agreement on eastward
extent of precipitation. Monday`s daytime highs will be seasonable
though a few degrees cooler than on Sunday, generally topping out in
the mid 60s to low 70s. Lows both Sunday and Monday nights will be
quite similar, with the St Lawrence and Champlain Valley remaining
in the 50s while the higher terrain and much of the rest of VT will
get down into the 40s.

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
-- Changed Discussion --
As of 309 AM EDT Saturday...Shower chances will increase as we head
into the middle of next week. WHile model consensus shows best
shower chances will be Tuesday into Wednesday as the low pressure to
our west pushes a frontal boundary across our region, there remains
considerable uncertainty as to exactly how the synoptic setup will
evolve with a large upper low potentially cutting off somewhere over
northern New England/Canadian Maritimes while a southern stream
system remains somewhere over the ArkLaTex or mid-Mississippi Valley
regions. So just about every period has at least a slight chance or
low chance of showers through the end of the week. Temperatures will
be cooler but seasonable, with highs in the 60s to around 70F and
lows in the 40s and 50s.

.AVIATION /07Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Through 06Z Sunday...Conditions are a mix of MVFR and VFR as
some stratus around 2000-2800 ft agl are lingering near
mountainous terrain, and some patchy fog at KSLK. There is some
gradient flow keeping fog at bay for now, but this should
lighten up, and we should see fog become more dominant at
favored locations like KSLK and KMPV about 08z to 09z. Clouds
will linger at KEFK and in and out near KMSS, which should limit
fog compared to the last several nights, but did TEMPO some 4SM
BR for a few hours based on little overall change to the
current weather pattern. Beyond 12-13z, fog will diminish with
mainly VFR conditions throughout the day. Clouds today will
generally remain at or above 5000 ft agl. Winds will be south to
southeast around 4 to 8 knots, except northeast at KMSS,
through about 00z and then trend light and variable.

Outlook...

Sunday: VFR. NO SIG WX.
Sunday Night: VFR. NO SIG WX.
Monday: VFR. NO SIG WX.
Monday Night: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. Chance SHRA.
Tuesday: Mainly VFR, with local MVFR possible. Slight chance
SHRA.
Tuesday Night: Mainly VFR, with areas MVFR possible. Chance SHRA.
Wednesday: Mainly MVFR, with local VFR possible. Chance SHRA.
