.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...

A ~1035 mb area of high pressure positioned over the region
early this morning will shift southward to the mid Atlantic
coast by later today. Subsidence from the high will provide
continued dry conditions, sunny skies, light winds and
seasonable conditions today. Tonight will be seasonable chilly
again with lows in the upper 20s to mid 30s. On Mon, a cold
front approaching from SE Canada will push southeast across the
area during the afternoon to early evening hours. Just a few
light showers may occur in the W. Adirondacks, otherwise the
front will pass through dry. Temperatures should be able to warm
into the mid 60s in many valley areas ahead of the front. Winds
will shift to the northwest late in the day, with gusts of
15-20 mph developing in spots. A colder air mass will filter in
Mon night through the middle of the week, with below normal
temperatures expected. It will be dry though, as another area of
high pressure builds in. As the high shifts south/east on Thu,
a milder S/SW flow will results in warmer temperatures. Another
moisture-starved cold front is expected to pass through on Fri,
although temperatures don`t look as cold behind this front.

.AVIATION /06Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Through 06z Monday...VFR conditions are mainly expected to
prevail through the 24 hour TAF period with high pressure over
the region and a continued dry air mass in place. However,
similar to late last night, patchy fog may drift over KALB from
the Mohawk River due to a N-NE flow above the surface. Will
mention TEMPO for LIFR conditions at KALB from 10z-13z, although
confidence in fog development is low. Once any fog dissipates,
VFR conditions will prevail. Winds will initially be calm,
becoming variable around 3-5 kt by this afternoon.

Outlook...

Monday through Thursday: No Operational Impact. NO SIG WX.
