Only minor changes with this forecast update. .KEY MESSAGES... 1) Dry and cool weather is expected through the rest of the week, with patchy frost possible across the North Country and western Southern Tier at times. KEY MESSAGE 1...Dry and cool weather is expected through the rest of the week, with patchy frost possible across the North Country and western Southern Tier at times. An upper level trough and closed low will slowly move east across the Midwest to Ohio Valley through tonight. The trough will move off the east coast while a coastal low develops late in the week. High pressure will remain across eastern Canada, bringing dry weather and continued easterly flow across the eastern Great Lakes though the rest of the week. The surface high will move further into the region tonight. Clear skies and light winds will support favorable radiational cooling conditions and result in a cool night. Temperatures in the 30s are likely across the Tug Hill region and portions of the western Southern Tier, which will bring some patchy frost. Low temperatures in the low to mid 40s are expected across the lower elevations. High temperatures will gradually increase day to day through Friday. Marine A moderate to fairly brisk northeast-east wind across the lower Great Lakes will continue to support small craft conditions with the exception of the nearshore section from Mexico Bay to the Saint Lawrence River. SCAs (Small Craft Advisories) will become more confined to areas from Hamlin Beach to the Niagara River today as the flow veers more easterly. Any lingering SCA-level conditions will subside tonight as a surface ridge builds further southward and weakens the pressure gradient across our region.
