Discussion
KEY MESSAGE 1...Dry and tranquil weather is expected to continue into early next week.
Ridging aloft and at the surface will continue to dominate the weather across region, providing several more days of quiet weather. The rex block should remain mostly intact into early next week before slowly breaking down in favor of a more zonal pattern by the middle of next week. Seasonable temperatures through Saturday will experience on a warming trend Sunday and Monday, with temperatures warming to as much as 10 degrees above normal, with some normally warmer spots possibly approaching 70F. A weak cold front moves through Monday, but the airmass is very dry with ridging across the SW CONUS blocking any moisture return, the front will offer some cooler temperatures by Tuesday.
Aviation
Mainly VFR weather is expected across WNY/CNY through the 18Z TAF period as high pressure will maintain its hold across the region. Mainly cirrus level cloudiness is expected through the TAF period. Localized river valley fog with MVFR to LIFR across the western Southern Tier and the Black River Valley may develop after 04Z/Sat through 12Z/Sat. Low confidence that any restrictions reach KJHW due to an unfavorable vertical wind profile in the atmospheric layer. Black River Valley fog may impact KART between ~08Z/Sat and 12Z/Sat.
Outlook...
Saturday through Wednesday...Mainly VFR. However, localized restrictions in late night/early morning valley fog.
