.AVIATION /06Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Lake effect snow showers off of Lake Ontario and the Finger 
Lakes are expected to maintain a pretty wide coverage across the
area through about 12-13Z bringing primarily MVFR/fuel-alt 
restrictions to most of the terminals. Some of the steadier and 
heavier narrow bands off the Finger Lakes can lead to IFR or 
worse restrictions for both ITH and BGM over the next several 
hours. 

The lake effect activity is expected to retreat to the north 
and east and diminish during the early afternoon, generally 
between 17-19Z as winds become more westerly and the flow 
eventually turns southwesterly by the evening as high pressure 
builds in briefly. As the west to southwesterly flow develops, 
ceiling restrictions are expected to retreat and give way to VFR
conditions and lighter winds. PROB30 groups were added to ELM 
and ITH at the end of the TAF as snow is expected to approach 
with the next quick-moving clipper. 


Outlook...

Late Tuesday night through Wednesday: Restrictions likely with 
a period of widepsread light to moderate snow overnight, 
becoming mixed snow and rain showers Wednesday. Confidence 
moderate to high. Scattered snow showers and possible
restrictions linger into Wednesday evening. 

Late Wednesday Night - Thursday morning...Mainly VFR; there can
be some scattered lake effect snow showers around SYR/RME. 
Confidence moderate.

Thursday afternoon and night...Restrictions possible with
another round of snow and/or rain-snow mix. Confidence low at
this time.

Friday and Saturday...Mainly VFR. Confidence moderate to high.
