AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
400 AM EDT WED JUN 29 2005

.SHORT TERM (TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT)... COLD FRONT DROPS SOUTH
INTO REGION TODAY/TONIGHT THEN LIFTS BACK TO THE NORTH THURSDAY.
FRONT COMBINED WITH PASSAGE OF UPPER TROUGH WILL BE FOCUS FOR
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS INTO THIS EVENING.  SCATTERED CONVECTION
TUESDAY EVENING GRADUALLY DIMINISHED BUT LARGE BLOB OF CONVECTION IN
CENTRAL NEW YORK AT MIDNIGHT LASTED MUCH OF THE NIGHT.  TENDENCY HAS
BEEN TO SLOWLY WEAKEN AND TURN NORTHEAST SO IT MAY JUST BRUSH CWA.
OTHER SHOWERS POPPING UP TO OUR SOUTH.     WILL BLEND EARLY MORNING
POPS INTO 60-70 POPS FOR THE AFTERNOON.  DRIER AIR WILL WORK INTO
EXTREME NORTHWEST AND WILL LOWER POP THERE BY LATE PM. NAM MODEL
SOUNDINGS SHOW RELATIVELY SMALL INSTABILITY TODAY AND THAT COUPLED
WITH WEAK WIND FIELD FIELDS SHOULD LIMIT SEVERE THREAT ALTHOUGH
CANT RULE OUT ISOLATED PULSE SEVERE. NAM DEWPOINTS SEEM OK
TODAY..BUT IT MAY BE UNDERESTIMATING TEMPERATURES. WITH 850 MB
TEMPERATURES STILL NEAR 15C WONT TAKE MUCH SUN TO JUMP WELL ABOVE
MET MOS AS WITNESSED BY TUESDAYS PROCEEDINGS AS READINGS JUMPED
INTO THE MID 80S DESPITE CLOUDS INTO MID AFTERNOON. HEAVY RAIN WITH
SLOW MOVING/TRAINING CELLS MAY BE MORE OF AN ISSUE.

THURSDAY...RIDGE BUILDS BACK INTO AREA.  NAM MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOW
DECENT CAP.  DONT EXPECT MUCH IF ANY CONVECTION. WILL LOWER POPS
BUT LEAVE IN 20-30 RANGE FOR COLLABORATION PURPOSES.  TEMPERATURES
MAY AGAIN PUSH 90.

FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT...STRONG COLD FRONT WILL BRING END TO HEAT
AND HUMIDITY. IT WILL BRING OUR BEST THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER.  850
MB FLOW STRENGTHENS TO NEAR 30 KTS AND 70-90 KT 250 MB APPROACHES
LATE FRIDAY WITH MODEST DIVERGENCE PROGGED OVER AREA AT 00Z
SATURDAY.  LATE ARRIVAL OF FRONT SHOULD ALLOW FOR PLENTY OF
HEATING.  SPC DAY3 SLIGHT RISK.

&&

.LONG TERM (FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)... LESS WARM AND MUCH DRIER
WEATHER FOR HOLIDAY WEEKEND.  OVERALL OUR FORECASTS HAVE BEEN VERY
CONSISTENT.  A FEW GFS RUNS HAVE SHOWED A MINOR DISTURBANCE MOVING
THROUGH SATURDAY...BUT 00Z RUN THIS MORNING LOOKS QUIET.  WARMER AND
MORE HUMID AIR BEGINS TO ARRIVE BY LATE MONDAY.  00Z GFS CONTINUES
TO SUPPORT CURRENT TUESDAY FORECAST SHOWERS THREAT AS WEAK FRONT
MOVES INTO THE NORTHEAST.

&&

.CLIMO....CURRENT AVERAGE JUNE TEMP OF 72.6 WOULD PUT US TIED FOR
7TH WARMEST JUNE.  WE COULD EDGE INTO SIXTH PLACES...ESPECIALLY IF
WE CAN BUMP TEMPS UP TODAY WITH A LITTLE SUN.

&&

.AVIATION...GENERALLY MVFR/VFR CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE
PERIOD. VSBYS GENERALLY 3-5SM BR-HZ WITH SCT025 UNTIL 09Z-11Z AT
WHICH TIME SCT SHRA/TSRA WILL MOVE INTOREGION DROPPING VISIBILITIES
TO 2SM AND OVC025.  WILL STILL BE A THREAT OF SHRA/TSRA THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS WITH MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS AND
VSBYS MOSTLY P6SM. WINDS S-SW UNDER 10 KTS THROUGH THE PERIOD.
&&

.FIRE WEATHER...MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY WILL BE RUNNING PRETTY
HIGH TODAY AND THURSDAY WITH MINIMUM RH VALUES GENERALLY 50 TO 75
PERCENT. AS HAS BEEN THE CASE MOST NIGHTS...EXCELLENT RH RECOVERY
EXPECTED TONIGHT WITH RH VALUES INCREASING TO 85 TO 100 PERCENT.
SURFACE WIND WILL BE LIGHT SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST THROUGH THE
PERIOD...LESS THAN 10 KNOTS. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL EXPECTED AGAIN
TODAY AND THURSDAY WITH SHRA/TSRA AS HUMID AIRMASS REMAINS IN PLACE.
&&

.HYDROLOGY...MOST STREAMS AND RIVERS ARE NEAR NORMAL FOR THIS TIME
OF THE YEAR. THAT MEANS LESS THAN HALF BANK FULL.  RAINFALL OVER THE
NEXT FEW DAYS MAY BE LOCALLY HEAVY.  HOWEVER...IT IS NOT EXPECTED TO
BE WIDESPREAD ENOUGH TO SUFFICIENTLY COVER ANY PARTICULAR RIVER
BASIN TO PRODUCE SIGNIFICANT FLOODING.  THE WEATHER WILL BECOME
DRIER AND COOLER OVER THE WEEKEND.  NO FLOODING DUE TO RAINFALL IS
EXPECTED ON THE RIVERS IN EASTERN NEW YORK AND WESTERN NEW
ENGLAND...BUT SMALL STREAMS AND CREEKS WILL BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL.
