.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
Behind the cold front, temperatures are forecasted to range in the
60s and 70s for tomorrow and Friday. Low temperatures become
comfortable for the overnight and early morning hours as
temperatures range in the 50s and 60s.

For tomorrow morning, a mostly cloudy and chances for scattered rain
showers increases from 30 percent to 50-60 percent for the afternoon
and evening hours as a low pressure system moves overhead and a
stationary front stalls bringing these chances for precipitation
into Friday (50%). As ingredients needed for thunderstorms to
develop is present on latest high resolution model guidances and the
probability of thunder by latest National Blend of Models 4.3 data
is between 15 and 35 percent, continued to mention thunderstorm
chances between 15 and 30 percent for the afternoon and evening
hours Friday. The primary concern with thunderstorms is heavy
rainfall and lightning on Friday. Rain shower and thunderstorm
activity continues overnight Friday night into Saturday morning with
higher chances (70-80%) across the western Adirondacks and Mohawk
Valley and lower chances (30-40%) across the Mid-Hudson Valley,
Taconics, and Litchfield Hills.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
We start the weekend off with 70-80% chances of rain showers based
on latest ensemble forecast models and latest National Blend of
Models 4.3 probabilistic data. Precipitation amounts this far ahead
of time are still uncertain  but at this forecast time should be
between a quarter and a half inch. A low pressure system is
supported by latest ensemble forecast model guidance to move
over the Great Lakes region Saturday, bringing these chances for
rain on Saturday. Depending on the track of the low and how
fast the low moves through, dry conditions should return for
Sunday before multiple upper level shortwaves could move
through. This brings daily chances (30-50%) for rain showers
and/or thunderstorms on Monday and Tuesday.

Summertime temperatures return for Monday and Tuesday with highs
ranging in the 80s. Depending on the dew point temperatures and
cloud coverage, feels-like temperatures could return into the
mid to upper 90s where heat headlines may be needed. But we`ll
continue to monitor the trends and temperatures for Monday and
Tuesday. Low temperatures range in the 60s and 70s for Monday
night into Tuesday, while in the 50s and 60s for Tuesday night
into Wednesday.
