NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
1040 AM EDT THU JUL 14 2005

.SHORT TERM (REST OF TODAY)...
REALLY QUICK UPDATE WITH SVR WEATHER ONGOING OVER THE SOUTHERN
ADIRONDACKS AT THIS TIME DUE TO A 500 MB SHORTWAVE AND SFC TROUGH.
MAGLENTA DEVELOPED LOCAL SEVERE INDEX YIELDS MINOR SEVERE EVENT
TODAY WITH SBCAPE VALUES OF ABOUT 1000 J/KG AND EHI VALUE OF 0.5.
BELIEVE BEST THREAT OF SEVERE WILL BE NORTH OF INTERSTATE 90. THE
BEST BULK SHEAR VALUES 0-6 KM ARE ACROSS EXTREME NORTHERN NY (30-40
KNOTS) FOR THIS PM AND AFTERNOON. THE WIND FIELDS LOOK POOR FOR
WIDESPREAD SEVERE (MAX WIND OFF SOUNDING ONLY ABOUT 25 KTS IN TROP).
COLD FRONT WILL PROVIDE LOW-LEVEL CONVERGENCE LATER TODAY...SO WILL
KEEP THUNDERSTORMS IN FOR LATE TODAY/EARLY PM.
CANT DISAGREE WITH SPC DAY 1 ANALYSIS AT THIS TIME EITHER. VIL OF
THE DAY ABOUT 56 KG/M2.

MORNING WORDING WILL BE REMOVED IN ZONES ALSO.

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
(ISSUED 232 AM EDT THU JUL 14 2005)

SYNOPSIS...A CDFNT ACROSS S ONTARIO FM JUST N OF LK ONTARIO TO THE
OTTAWA VALLEY WILL SAG SLOWLY AND SLIGHTLY SOUTH TODAY.  WEAK HIGH
PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS SOUTHERN ONTARIO AND QUEBEC FRIDAY AND FRIDAY
NIGHT NIGHT WASHING OUT FOR THE WEEKEND.  MEANWHILE TROPICAL
MOISTURE WITH REMNANTS OF DENNIS REMAIN ON OUR DOORSTEP ACROSS
MIDWEST AND MID ATLANTIC STATES INTO SUNDAY...WHEN IT IS FINALLY
SHOVED OFF THE COAST. FOR THE NEXT 8 DAYS THICKNESS VALUES REMAIN
ABOVE 570 AND OFTEN ABOUT 576. MDLS ARE IN AGREEMENT WITH GENERAL
FRONTAL/THERMAL AND PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVEMENT...GFS/NAM DIVERGE IN
MAJOR WAYS ACRS FCA IN RH FIELDS BYND TNGT.

SHORT TERM (TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY)...RATHER COMPLEX SYSTEM OF
BOUNDARYS ABOUT THE REGION ATTM ACTING TO FOCUS CONVECTION TO OUR
WEST AND NORTHWEST. CDFNT BCMG WMFNT ALONG LN FM NR YQB-YUL-YOW TO
SFC LOW IN UPPER OTTAWA VALLEY. CDFNT FM CANADIAN SIDE OF ST
LAWRENCE VLY TO LK ONTARIO BACK INTO MICHIGAN. MEANWHILE REMNANTS OF
DENNIS REMAIN PARKED IN OHIO VLY AND CENTERED NR CINCINNATI.

TWO CONVECTIVE CLUSTERS PARTICULARLY ACTIVE...ONE OVER LK ONTARIO
THE OTHERS FM OTTAWA VY TO ST LAWRENCE VLY.  MEANWHILE FURTHER EAST
OLD BACKDOOR CDFNT IS STALLED OUT FM WEST ADIRONDACKS TO NR ELM TO
UNV. EAST OF IT HAVE SURFACE RIDGE POKING INTO MUCH OF FCA AND
MARINE LAYER.

MOST AREAS IN FCA CLEAR BUT LOW LEVEL STRATUS AND FOG FORMING IN
PLACES. NEXT FEW HRS MAIN CONCERN IS EVOLUTION OF CONVECTIVE COMPLEX
TO NW. HWVR LATE HOUR AND DIM CAPES AND MINIMAL DYNAMICS SHOULD
KEEP IT BLW SEVERE.

BY MORNING BESIDES THE STRAY OUTFLOW BOUNDARYS WE SHOULD HAVE THE
MAIN CDFNT FM OTTAWA VALLEY TO N SHORES OF E GREAT LAKES WHERE IT
WILL LINGER MUCH OF THE DAY...AND THE PREFRONTAL TROF (OLD BACKDOOR)
IN CRNTL NY. THE DEEPENING QUEBEC 500 HPA TROF AND THE BUILDING MID
LEVEL HIGH OVER THE UPPER GRTLKS AND A WEAK SHRT WV WILL DRIVE THESE
BOUNDARYS INTO THE FCA WITH AREAS OF SHRA AND TSRA BCMG MORE
ORGANIZED DURING THE AFTN. SHOULD RESULT IN ISOLD SVR...AS PER SPS
DISC. TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY LACKING THERMAL SUPPORT THEY WILL
DISSIPATE.

WHILE THERE IS LITTLE DIFFERENCE IN THE GFS OR NAMS 500 HPA BUILDING
RIDGE FM GRTLKS TO MID ATLC FRI AND FRI NT...THE NAM/GEM/UKMET DRYS
AMAS OUT HOLDING TROPICAL MOISTURE/DENNIS REMAINS TO OUR SOUTH...AND
SUGGEST MUCH LESS CLOUDINESS FRI INTO SAT NT THAN GFS.  GFS 500 HPA
RIDGE ISNT AS STRONG AND BREAKS DOWN SOONER FRI NT. SO THE MJR FCST
ISSUE WILL BE AMOUNT OF CLDS/SUN AND THREAT LVL FOR -SHRA/TSRA
FRI/SAT. AT THIS POINT THE GFS IS THE ODD MAN OUT...AND GIVEN THAT
THE REMAINS OF DENNIS HAVE SEEN CONTENT TO SIT NEAR
CINCINNATI...THERES NO DYNAMIC REASON TO SUGGEST THEY WILL SUDDENLY
SURGE EAST FRIDAY OR SATURDAY. FORECAST WILL BE THE NAM/GEM SOLUTION
FRI AND SAT IN TERMS OF CLOUDS. LATE SAT NT AND BEYOND THEY ARE IN
AGREEMENT WITH THE TROPICAL MOISTURE MORE CLOUDS AND A CHC OF TSRA
SAT NT AND SUN.

LONG TERM (SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)...BY SUNDAY ALL MODELS BRING
TROPICAL MOISTURE BACK INTO REGION WITH HUMID CONDITIONS. MEANWHILE
BY SUNDAY NIGHT MID LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS ALL ALONG THE EASTERN
SEABOARD. 1000-500 DM THICKNESS VALUES EXCEED 576 OVER MUCH OF E
USA. SHOULD BE A HOT AND HUMID MONDAY. WEEK STARTS WITH BERMUDA HIGH
FIRMLY ACROSS MUCH OF E USA AT ALL LEVELS WITH HEAT AND HUMIDITY AND
SCT MAINLY AFTN AND EVENING TSRA. BY MID AND LATE IN THE WEEK 500
HPA FLOW BECOMES MORE ZONAL ACROSS N TIER OF USA...AN MAYBE A WEAK
CDFNT WL BRING SOME LOWER RH/HUMIDITY. BUT OTHERWISE ITS JULY...WARM
TO HOT...HUMID...SCATTERED AFTN AND EVNG TSRA INTO THE NEXT WEEK.
SURE BEATS FEBRUARY. NO FURTHER CHANGES MADE BEYOND DAY 4.

AVIATION...WIDESPREAD MVFR WITH A FEW AREAS OF IFR DUE TO
MIST...FOG...AND LOW CEILINGS MAY BE EXPECTED IN THE PREDAWN HOURS.
VISIBILITY WILL IMPROVE TO 5 MILES OR MORE BUT A BROKEN CLOUD BASE
OF 2500 TO 3000 FT MSL WILL RESULT IN WIDESPREAD MVFR CONDITIONS
OVER THE REGION WITH SOME IFR OVER MOUNTAIN REGIONS FROM THE
CATSKILLS NORTH. THE CLOUDS WILL BECOME SCATTERED SOUTH OF ALBANY
RESULTING IN MOSTLY VFR CONDITIONS OVER THE MID HUDSON REGION OF NEW
YORK AND ADJACENT CONNECTICUT. WINDS WILL GENERALLY BE SOUTHERLY 4
TO 8 KNOTS. MVFR TO IFR MAY BE EXPECTED IN SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS...ESPECIALLY IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS.

HYDROLOGY...MAJOR RIVERS SUCH AS THE HUDSON...MOHAWK...AND
HOUSATONIC WILL REMAIN AT LOW FLOWS. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING WILL RESULT IN SHARP RISES TO
NEAR BANKFULL ON SMALL STREAMS IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA AND
SOME FLOODING OF POORLY DRAINED SECTIONS OF ROADS AND
PARKING AREAS. THE RAINS WILL HAVE ONLY A SLIGHT EFFECT
ON THE LARGER RIVERS.
