&& .NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
-- Changed Discussion --
As of 3 PM EDT Friday...A little bit of upper level shortwave energy is pushing into our area from the east, and some isolated showers have popped up. These showers are very isolated and only very light rainfall is expected. Conditions will once again become clear overnight with light flow remaining, will see valley fog develop again. Minimum temperatures overnight will dip into the upper 40s to upper 50s. Saturday will continue to feature dry and quiet weather. This will be00 the first day in a while that we`re not seeing temperatures creep up into the 80s, so it may feel on the cool side although it`s still warmer than seasonal normals. Afternoon maximum temperatures will range from the upper 60s to mid 70s. Cooling trend will continue for Saturday night with low temperatures dipping into the mid 40s to mid 50s, and we could once again see some fog in the valleys.

&& .SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
-- Changed Discussion --
As of 300 PM EDT Friday...Dry weather will persist for the second half of the weekend as the region remains under the influence of upper level ridging and surface high pressure. Temperatures will be near seasonal normals, and feel quite fall- like after this recent warmth, especially with some partially sunny skies. High temperatures will generally be in the 60s to lower 70s. Overnight lows will be cooler as well, mainly in the 40s and low 50s.

&& .LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
-- Changed Discussion --
As of 300 PM EDT Friday...The region will remain under the influence of high pressure and upper level ridging through the beginning of next week, bringing another day or two of dry weather. Heading into the middle of next week, chances of measurable precipitation return to the region as a upper level trough over the Great Lakes region shifts northeastwards towards Quebec. This pattern shift will bring increased chances of showers, which will be beneficial given how dry most of the month of September has been. Model consensus shows the greatest chances for showers Tuesday night into Wednesday as a boundary pushes into northern New York with the low pressure to our west. Beyond Wednesday, there continue to be chances for scattered showers, but there is still plenty of uncertainty as to the evolution of the synoptic pattern, so trends will need to be monitored. Temperatures next week will continue to be rather seasonable, with daytime highs mainly in the 60s to low 70s and overnight lows in the 40s and 50s.
