Area forecast discussion, Jun 19, 3:45 PM EDT, 2 hours 16 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY 345 PM EDT MON JUN 19 2006 ...SYNOPSIS... A VERY WARM AND HUMID AIRMASS WAS OVER THE REGION MIDDAY TODAY WITH DEW POINTS CLOSE TO 70 IN THE HUDSON VALLEY AND EQUIVALENT POTENTIAL TEMPERATURES CLOSE TO 340K. AN UPPER TROF EXTENDED SOUTH FROM CANADA INTO THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES AND UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY...WITH A BROAD RIDGE OFF THE EAST COAST. ON THE SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WAS CENTERED IN THE ATLANTIC WELL TO THE EAST OF CAPE COD. THERE WAS A SECOND HIGH OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS WITH A WEAK LOW NORTH OF LAKE HURON AND A FRONTAL BAND EAST INTO CANADA AND SOUTHWEST TO THE CENTRAL PLAINS. A PRE-FRONTAL TROF EXTENDED ACROSS WESTERN NEW YORK AND WILL SERVE TO FOCUS MUCH OF THE CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY AS IT MOVES THROUGH THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. && .SHORT TERM /THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/... AS OF MID AFTERNOON...STRONG THUNDERSTORMS HAVE FORMED INTO A LINE WHICH EXTENDED FROM NEAR LAKE CHAMPLAIN TO JUST WEST OF THE DELAWARE WATER GAP AND THE LINE WAS SLOWLY MOVING EAST AS THE CELLS ARE TRAINING FROM SOUTH TO NORTH. MOST OF THE ACTIVITY WAS PRETTY MUCH ON THE LEADING EDGE OF THE LINE WITH THE BAND OF SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED TSTORMS 70 TO 80 MILES WIDE. AS OF 3PM...THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH WAS EXPANDED EAST AND EXTENDED TO INCLUDE OUR NEW ENGLAND ZONES. WEST OF THE BAND WAS AN AREA OF MOSTLY SUNNY WEATHER WITH DEWPOINTS ABOUT 5 DEGREES LOWER...WITH THE COLD FRONT EXTENDING FROM TORONTO CANADA SOUTH TO INDIANA. THERE IS PLENTY OF POTENTIAL WITH CAPE IN THE ORDER OF 3000 J/KG BASED ON OUR 1800 RAOB AND EQUIVALENT POTENTIAL TEMPS OF 340-350 EXTENDING FROM THE MID HUDSON REGION ACROSS THE CAPITAL DISTRICT INTO WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS AND SOUTHERN VERMONT. AMPLE MOISTURE WITH PRECIPBL WTR VALUES IN THE 1.5 INCH RANGE COVERING MUCH OF THE NORTHEAST. POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR FLOODING OF POORLY DRAINED ROADS AND PARKING AREAS AS THE LINE MOVES THROUGH. STREAMS WILL EXPERIENCE SHARP RISES BUT SOME OF THE RAIN WILL SOAK INTO THE GROUND AND FLOODING OF RIVERS AND STREAMS IS NOT ANTICIPATED AT THIS POINT. THE PREFRONTAL TROF WILL RIP THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON...WITH THE FRONT FOLLOWING TUESDAY MORNING. A WEAK HIGH WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION TUESDAY AFTERNOON WHICH WILL RESULT IN COOLER AND DRIER WEATHER TUESDAY NIGHT. && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... THE LONG TERM PICTURE IS VERY UNSETTLED AS A BROAD TROF PRETTY MUCH PERSISTS OVER THE REGION. A COLD FRONT DROPS OUT OF CANADA INTO THE REGION WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THE FRONT STALLS JUST WEST OF THE APPALACHIANS AND A SERIES OF DISTURBANCES MOVE ALONG IT. THIS FAR OUT FEEL THE BEST APPROACH IS TO SIMPLY GO WITH CHANCE POPS THROUGH THE PERIOD DUE TO THE UNCERTAINTY WITH RAIN DURING THE LATE NIGHT/EARLY MORNING PERIODS AND THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE AFTERNOONS AND EVENINGS. IT LOOKS LIKE THE ONLY DRY DAY DURING THIS PERIOD WILL BE WEDNESDAY. && .AVIATION (18Z MONDAY THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY)... GENERALLY MVSR VSBYS AT KGL/KPOU/KALB THROUGH THE PERIOD DUE TO HZ/BR. LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY TUESDAY MORNING VSBYS MAY DROP TO IFR IN BR. OTHERWISE VSBY MAY OCCASIONALLY DROP TO IFR IN +TSRA UNTIL ABOUT 00Z AT ALL THREE SITES. WIND GUSTS OVER 40 KTS ALSO POSSIBLE WITH THE TSRA. CIGS WILL GENERALLY BE VFR THROUGH THE PERIOD...WITH LOCAL REDUCTIONS TO MVFR/IFR IN ANY SHRA/+TSRA. && .HYDROLOGY... THE FOCUS OF INTEREST WILL BE THE POSSIBILITY OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL OVER A PERIOD OF 1 TO 3 HOURS RESULTING FROM HEAVY PRECIP CELLS TRAINING ALONG THE SOUTHWEST/NORTHEAST INSTABILITY AXIS. THERE WILL BE BRIEF PERIODS OF HEAVY RAINFALL IN MOST LOCATIONS. GENERALLY RAINFALL WILL BE HALF AN INCH OR LESS. HOWEVER...LOCALLY AN INCH AND A HALF COULD FALL IN A MATTER OF AN HOUR OR SO. THIS WILL BRING THE POTENTIAL FOR RAPID RISES ON STREAMS THAT HAPPEN TO BE IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA AND PONDING AND FLOODING OF POORLY DRAINED PAVED AREAS. MAJOR RIVERS WILL SEE RISES OF A FOOT OR TWO BUT HEAVY RAIN IS NOT EXPECTED TO BE WIDESPREAD ENOUGH FOR RIVER FLOODING. && .ALY WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... CT...NONE. MA...NONE. NY...AIR STAGNATION ADVISORY FOR NYZ063>066 UNTIL 1 AM TUESDAY. VT...NONE. && RCK & GJM
