B.O.B.N.

One of the reasons meteorologists are so awesome is that we get to ruin people's day and piss everyone off, which happens to be one of my favorite things to do as a meteorologist.  Take today, for instance.  Looks nice right?  Cool, dry, sunny.  Good day shaping up, wouldn't you say? Eghn, wrong! (it's hard to put the "buzzer" sound to words)

Currently, we have a decent-sized upper-level low over French-Canadia that, while it is bringing cooler temps to our region, is also going to be responsible for some unsettled, unruly weather over the next 3 days.  Nothing severe or serious like we've seen the last few weeks (aww shucks) but certainly enough to be annoying, from a weather standpoint.  Today we'll see a shortwave system moving from upstate NY/western PA into our area this afternoon.  Currently it's draped across central NY, making rain from Utica to Buffalo, and moving slowly to the SE.  I'm hoping most of it will pass to our north, but I promise nothing.  My guess is the rain will come through sometime around 2pm and should be more or less outta here by the early evening hrs (7pm?). 

Tonight we get a little bit of clearing that lasts until tomorrow afternoon when we see another shortwave passing through.  Thurs night and Friday look to be carbon copies of the next 24 hrs as well, and then Saturday we get another lovely Bermudan high that will pump warm, moi... excuse me... warm, wet air into the NE.  Not quite as gross as 2 weeks ago, but it will be a return to seasonal temps and higher humidities.

Today:  Sunny then clouds and showers.  High 73.  Winds SW 8-10 mph.

Tonight:  Showers ending early then cloudy.  Winds W 5-9 mph.

Tomorrow:  Sunny early then a chance of afternoon showers.  High 74.  Winds W @ 7-9 mph.
