AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BINGHAMTON NY
140 PM EDT TUE AUG 1 2000

CONVECTION HAS INITIATED TO THE WEST IN AN AREA FROM BUF TO PIT.
CLOUDS ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE REGION HAVE ERODED AND SUNSHINE
IS ALLOWING THE ENTIRE AREA DESTABILIZE. EXPECT CONVECTION TO
CONTINUE MOVING/DEVELOPING NEWD AS SHORT WAVE ENERGY MOVES NEWD
THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES TONIGHT. ACTIVITY SHOULD DECREASE AFTER
SUNSET WITH LITTLE ADDITIONAL LINGERING PCPN PAST MIDNIGHT. WILL
LEAVE FFA IN PLACE AND REISSUE ESF TO HIGHLIGHT LOCALIZED FLOODING
POTENTIAL.

CWA WILL BE SITTING ON A POWDER KEG TOMORROW WITH CAPES PROGGED
TO APPROACH 2000 J/KG. HOWEVER THERE IS NO GOOD TRIGGER SO
THERMODYNAMIC INSTABILITY MAY NEVER BE REALIZED. BELIEVE THERE WILL
BE SOME BOUNDARIES DUE TO DIFF HEATING CAUSED BY LINGERING STRATUS
TO SET OFF SOME THUNDERSTORMS. WILL WORD AS SCT AND USE A 40 POP.

NEXT SHORT WAVE UPSTREAM WILL BE PUSHING A COLD FRONT INTO THE AREA
LATE WED NIGHT AND SLOWLY THROUGH THE REGION ON THURSDAY. OVERNIGHT
TIMING IS NOT FAVORABLE FOR CONVECTION AND THERE APPEARS TO BE
LITTLE SYNOPTIC FORCING. BEST CHANCE FOR PCPN WITH THE FRONT WILL BE
THURSDAY SO WILL GO WITH LIKELY POPS HERE.

MOS TEMPS SEEM REASONABLE BASED ON PAST FEW DAYS SO WILL STAY CLOSE.

WORK ZONES OUT.
