.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...

Cooler air mass will overspread the region from NW to SE
overnight and linger through Tuesday. The growing season will be
underway by Monday morning for all of eastern NY except for the
SW Adirondacks, as well as all of western New England. Temps are
expected to fall into the lower/mid 30s across much of the
Mohawk Valley, NE Catskills/Schoharie County, Lake
George/Saratoga region and eastern Rensselaer County and most of
souther VT tonight, where frost advisories have been issued. A
few sheltered locations within these areas could drop to around
or just under freezing. Even colder min temps are expected
across much of eastern NY/western New England for Monday
night/Tuesday morning as high pressure builds closer to the
region. Expect widespread frost advisories and/or some freeze
warnings to be issued for this time period as low temps drop
into the upper 20s to lower/mid 30s for many areas.

KEY MESSAGE 2...

Other than a few passing showers across the southern Adirondacks
Monday afternoon, mainly dry conditions are expected until
Wednesday as an upper level trough slowly approaches from the
Great Lakes region. As the trough approaches and amplifies, low
pressure is expected to develop across along northern mid
Atlantic coast and track northeast. Showers and a few
thunderstorms are expected to develop ahead of the system
Wednesday afternoon and night from west to east, then depending
on how the upper level trough evolves, could allow
showers/thunderstorms to transform into an area of steady rain
across portions of the region Thursday into Friday, with best
chances for areas south and east of Albany. Locally heavy
rainfall could occur, especially if the upper level trough slows
down and eventually closes off, resulting in the surface low
tracking closer to the coast before eventually pivoting farther
offshore.
