.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...PERSISTENT LES BAND HAS REMAINED ANCHORED
OVER NRN OSWEGO/WRN JEFFERSON COUNTIES FOR MOST OF THE AFTERNOON.
VISIBLE IMAGERY HAS BEEN SHOWING SOME SOME NARROWING OF THE BAND OVER
TIME AND IR IMAGERY HAS SHOWN SOME AREAL DECREASE OF COLDEST TOPS...CLOUD
TOP TEMPS STILL HOVERING BETWEEN THE -16C TO -18C MARK.  BASED ON KART
20Z RUC..THIS PUTS THE OVERSHOOTING TOPS TO ABOUT 3.0-3.5 KM.  LOW PW
VALUES HOWEVER AND LAYER SUBSIDENCE..PER RUC ANALYSIS..SHOULD KEEP
RATES IN THE 1.0"-1.5"/HR OVER MUCH OF OSWEGO/LEWIS COUNTIES...HOWEVER
SOME OF THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS COULD SEE RATES UP TO 2.0"/HR AT TIMES.
EXPECTING BAND TO REMAIN ACTIVE THROUGH THE EVENING AS FEEDER BANDS
REMAIN PRESENT AND FETCH REMAINS GOOD.
