AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BINGHAMTON NY
920 AM EDT SAT JUL 15 2000

EVERYTHING IS COMING TOGETHER TO INCREASE FLASH FLOOD POTENTIAL OVR
THE REGION. MASSIVE AMOUNT OF PRECIPITATION IS HEADING TO THE NW ARND A
DEVELOPING CUT OFF LO OVR PA. THIS FEATURE WILL REMAIN NEARLY
STALLED INTO SUNDAY OVR PA WITH A DEFORMATION ZONE SETTING UP ACR
CNTRL NY/NE PA W/ PWS ARND 1.5 INCHES INJECTING INTO THIS ZONE.
BASIN AVE RAINFALL AMNTS SHUD REACH ARND 2 INCHES WHICH IN ITSELF
WON/T CAUSE TOO MUCH OF A PROBLEM. WE ARE WORRIED ABT THE POTENTIAL
FOR LOCALLY HIGHER AMNTS (OVER 5 INCHES) OVR SOME HIGHER TERRAIN
AREAS AND WHERE HEAVIER SHWRS AND TSRA PERSIST. ALREADY EXTENDED FFA
TO THE W. FFW ISSUED FOR LUZERNE CO WHERE GLENN SUMMIT HAS EXCEEDED
4 INCHES/24 HRS AND FLOODING IS JUST BEGINNING ON A CREEKS AND
STREAMS AS PER LUZERNE CO EMA. FFG/S APPEAR TOO HIGH BASED ON
REPORTS RECEIVED.

QUESTION IS HOW FAR W TO PUT THE WATCH. FOR NOW I HAVE LEFT THE FFA
OUT OF THE WRN FINGER LAKES AND STUEBEN CO BASED ON THE RADAR TRENDS
WHICH HAVE STALLED THE WWRD PROGRESS OF A DEVELOPING HEAVY RAIN BAND
IN CNTRL NY. IF THE HEAVY RAIN PUSHES FARTHER W...WILL NOT HESITATE
TO EXTEND FARTHER W LATER TODAY.

SINCE DID A MAJOR UPDATE AT 830 AM...I PLAN ON ONLY MINOR CHANGES TO
ZONES. WILL SEND SOON AFTER 10 AM.

.BGM...FLASH FLOOD WATCH THROUGH TONIGHT FOR CATSKILLS AND POCONOS.
FLASH FL{OOD WATCH EXTENDED TO THE W ACROSS THE REST OF NE PA AND
MOST OF CNTRL NY THROUGH TONIGHT.
