SYNOPSIS. High pressure will drift east across New England this afternoon before moving off the coast tonight and Friday. This will support fair dry weather with a warming trend to end the work week. The passing of a somewhat moisture starved cold front could spark a shower or isolated thunderstorm Friday night or Saturday, otherwise the upcoming weekend should feature dry weather with temperatures averaging a few degrees above normal.
NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/. High pressure overhead at daybreak will push east during the course of the day, making its way off the coast tonight. This in tandem with substantial hgt rises will guarantee fair dry weather through tonight.
Return flow around aforementioned high pressure will elevate Tds back into the mid and upper 60s on Friday. Marginally unstable conditions in the afternoon could then yield a spotty shower. A warmer day with afternoons highs in the upper 70s to low 80s for most areas.
SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/. Heading into Friday night, a prefrontal trough ahead of a cold front placed over the central Great Lakes will continue to progress eastward across the eastern Great Lakes through the remainder of Friday. The passage of the prefrontal trough combined with the left over low level moisture from earlier in the day will support slight chances for showers and a few rumbles of thunder.
Then, the aforementioned cold front and main upper level trough axis will cross overhead Saturday, with the best upper level support grazing Northern New York. Therefore, with the frontal passage expect chances for showers Saturday morning. The frontal boundary will then sag southward and stall across the region Saturday afternoon. This combined with additional lift from daytime heating will create chances for showers and thunderstorms Saturday afternoon.
Despite the stalled frontal boundary, showers and storms will cease by Saturday night, as the eastern fringes of the upper level ridge introduces subsidence to the region.
LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/. Sunday, the stalled frontal boundary from the day prior will lift northeast as a warm front. Meanwhile, upper level ridging and a large area of surface high pressure will span across the eastern Great Lakes. While the high pressure overhead will support subsidence and dry weather, the passage of the warm front will advect in warm air across the region, initiating a period of late summer warmth.
Surface high pressure and upper level ridge will slowly build east into New England Monday and Tuesday supporting both dry weather and warm days.
Meanwhile over the Rockies, an upper level trough will deepen and form a closed low. By Wednesday, the trough/ridge pattern will have slid east further, introducing deep southwesterly flow to develop overhead of the region. Additionally with the upper level trough advancing closer to the region, its associated surface low and frontal boundaries will cross the Great Lakes, introducing the next chances of showers.
Otherwise as alluded to previously, conditions will be on the warm side with high temperatures averaging around 10 to 15 degrees above average. Highs each day will rise into the upper 70s to low 80s, with low to mid 70s in the higher terrain across the North Country.
AVIATION /14Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/. Low conditions at KROC with improve to VFR between 14z and 1430z.
High pressure will assure us of VFR weather through tonight. The exception will be in the valleys of the Srn Tier where overnight stratus and fog will likely result in MVFR to IFR conditions at KJHW and KELZ.
Outlook .
Friday through Monday . Mainly VFR.
MARINE. High pressure over Lake Ontario at daybreak will push east across New England during the course of today before moving off the coast tonight. This scenario will maintain light winds and negligible waves over the Lower Great Lakes through Friday.
While there will be a minimal chance for showers Friday night and Saturday . a weak sfc pressure will promote continued light winds with little wave action throughout the weekend.
