AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
125 PM EDT WED JUN 27 2007

.SYNOPSIS...
A BERMUDA HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST...WILL
CONTINUE TO PROVIDE A VERY WARM AND HUMID AIR MASS TO THE REGION
INTO THURSDAY. A WEAK SURFACE TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL TRIGGER
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SOME OF THE
STORMS MAY BE SEVERE. A COLD FRONT WILL ADVANCE SOUTHWARD FROM
CANADA LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY...BRINGING ADDITIONAL
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THE COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTH OF THE
REGION THURSDAY NIGHT...WITH MUCH COOLER AND DRIER AIR FILTERING IN
FOR FRIDAY. THIS COOLER AIR MASS WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 8 PM THIS EVENING/...
A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR OUR ENTIRE CWA. WE
ARE SITTING ON LARGE SBCAPES...IN THE 2000 TO 3000+ RANGE. WIND
SHEAR IS WEAK BUT MIGHT STRENGTHEN A LITTLE WITH TIME. SURFACE
ANALYSIS INDICATED A PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH...LYING RIGHT AROUND OUR
REGION. SATELLITE PICTURES SHOW CU BLOWING UP IN OUR SW...AND OTHER
SPOTS AS WELL. LOOKS AS IF WE WILL BREAK THE CAP. DEWPOINTS HAVE NOT
GONE DOWN...IN FACT...THEY HAVE INCREASED. THE COMBINATION OF ALL
THE ABOVE PROMPTED SPC TO ISSUE THE WATCH.

IRONICALLY...SO FAR...THE VERIFICATION OUT OF BGM (YES THEY HAVE
ISSUED A FEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNINGS)...HAS BEEN LARGE HAIL. SO
WHILE THE BIGGEST THREAT REMAINS WINDS DUE TO A PULSE WET MICROBURST
ENVIRONMENT...WE HAVE INCLUDED LARGE HAIL AS WELL.

&&

.SHORT TERM /8 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
THE SEVERE THREAT SHOULD DIMINISH LATER THIS EVENING...AS WE LOSE
DAYTIME HEATING. THERE WILL STILL BE SOME ELEVATED INSTABILITY...SO
WILL MAINTAIN CHANCE OF THUNDER OVERNIGHT. HOWEVER...STORMS WILL NOT
BE ROOTED IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER AND SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO MIX STRONG
WINDS DOWN. LOCALIZED HEAVY RAIN AND LIGHTNING WILL BE THE MAIN
THREATS TONIGHT. A COLD FRONT MOVING SOUTHEAST FROM QUEBEC/ONTARIO
WILL APPROACH NORTHWEST AREAS EARLY THURSDAY MORNING. SO THERE WILL
PROBABLY BE A LULL IN THE CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY FOR A TIME
TONIGHT...BEFORE MORE SHOWERS/STORMS DEVELOP TOWARDS MORNING. GOOD
AGREEMENT WITH THE MODELS THAT THE COLD FRONT WILL CLEAR CENTRAL
AREAS INCLUDING THE CAPITAL DISTRICT DURING THE EARLY AFTERNOON
HOURS THURSDAY...BUT WILL NOT REACH SOUTHERN AREAS UNTIL THURSDAY
EVENING. THIS PROGRESSION WILL RESULT IN A CHANCE FOR SHOWER/STORMS
ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA THURSDAY MORNING...WITH AFTERNOON CONVECTION
LIMITED TO AREAS MAINLY SOUTH AND EAST OF ALBANY THURSDAY AFTERNOON.
SOME OF THE STORMS COULD BE SEVERE SOUTH AND EAST OF THE CAPITAL
DISTRICT...WITH SBCAPE VALUES AROUND 1000-1500 J/KG AND 0-6 KM BULK
SHEAR OF 25-30 KTS. TEMPS WILL BE MUCH COOLER THURSDAY...ESPECIALLY
ACROSS THE ADIRONDACKS...BUT HUMIDITY LEVELS WILL STILL BE HIGH
UNTIL AFTER THE COLD FRONT PASSES.

WILL HOLD ONTO A CHANCE OF SHOWERS/STORMS SOUTH AND EAST OF THE
CAPITAL DISTRICT THURSDAY EVENING WITH THE FRONT SLOWING ITS
PROGRESS SOMEWHAT. THE FRONT SHOULD PUSH TO OUR SOUTH BY EARLY
FRIDAY MORNING. A WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE MAY DEVELOP ALONG THE
FRONT...BUT SHOULD REMAIN ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC REGION. FRIDAY
WILL FEATURE COOLER AND NOTICEABLY LESS HUMID CONDITIONS WITH A
NORTH TO NORTHWEST BREEZE DEVELOPING. MAX TEMPS WILL ACTUALLY BE
SLIGHTLY BELOW AVERAGE FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
NO CHANGES TO THE GOING FORECAST MADE PAST FRIDAY...AS ALL FOCUS WAS
ON THE NEAR/SHORT TERM. COOL AND RELATIVELY DRY AIR MASS WILL REMAIN
IN PLACE THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND INTO THE EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ABOUT TO MOVE INTO OUR REGION FROM THE
SOUTHWEST. WE FEEL THE THREAT IS ABOUT 50/50 FOR ANY OF THEM TO
DIRECTLY IMPACT OUR TERMINALS. WILL CONTINUE WITH CB/SHRA IDEA AND
OF COURSE TIME ANY THUNDERSTORM SHOULD THEY MOVE NEAR ANY TERMINAL.
THESE STORMS APPEAR TO FORMING ON A PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH...WELL AHEAD
OF THE COLD FRONT AS THE MID LEVEL CAP APPEARS TO BE WEAKENING.

ANY STORM COULD CONTAIN VERY HEAVY RAINS LOWERING BRIEFLY
VISIBILITIES TO EVEN THE LIFR RANGE...STRONG GUSTY WINDS AS STRONG
AS 60 KTS (LOCALLY) AND EVEN HAIL.

THE CROSSOVER TEMPS LOOK TO BE AROUND 70. HOWEVER CLOUDS AND SOME
BREEZE WOULD PRECLUDE CLASSIC RADIATIONAL FOG FORMATION TONIGHT.
HOWEVER...SHOWER INDUCED FOG IS POSSIBLE AT ALL OUR
TERMINALS...PROBABLY IN THE MVFR RANGE.

T
THE THREAT OF AT LEAST SOME SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE INTO THE
NIGHT...BUT THE THREAT THREAT OF TALL THUNDER SHOULD DIMINISH WELL
AFTER DARK. FOR NOW...WILL CONTINUE THE CB/SHRA IDEA INTO THE
EVENING HOURS...THEN JUST VCSH LATER ON FOR NOW AS THE THREAT AS
CONVECTION DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE ORGANIZED.

HE ACTUAL COLD FRONT IS NOT SLATED TO CROSS THE TERMINALS UNTIL
THURSDAY MORNING WITH A SW TO NW WIND SHIFT EXPECTED. DRIER MORE
STABLE AIR WILL GRADUALLY WORK IN FROM NORTH TO SOUTH ON
THURSDAY...WITH THE GREATEST THREAT FOR ANY THUNDER AT KPOU SITE
THROUGH 18Z...DIMINISHING THEREAFTER.

OUTLOOK...
FRI THROUGH SUNDAY...VFR. NO SIG WX.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
RIVER FLOWS HAVE DECLINED RECENTLY DUE TO THE LACK OF RAINFALL AND
THE HOT WEATHER. A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE REGION TODAY AND
EVENTUALLY CROSS THE AREA THURSDAY...TRIGGERING SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS. WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE COLD FRONT...A COOLER AND
LESS HUMID AIRMASS WILL FILTER IN. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL
DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON AND BECOME MORE NUMEROUS AS THE COLD FRONT
GETS CLOSER AND MOVES THROUGH. THE 00Z/WED ALB SOUNDING HAD A
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUE OF 1.44 INCHES. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES
WILL INCREASE TO AROUND 2 INCHES THIS EVENING. MODELS INDICATE
K-INDEX VALUES OF 35 TO 40 THIS AFTERNOON AND THURSDAY AHEAD OF THE
FRONT. THIS ALL POINTS TO VERY HEAVY DOWNPOURS. LOCALIZED URBAN AND
SMALL STREAM FLOODING WILL BE POSSIBLE DUE TO RAINFALL RATES
ESPECIALLY WHERE TRAINING OF STORMS OCCURS. MOST OF THE AREA IS DRY
AND COULD USE A GOOD RAIN. BASIN AVERAGE RAINFALL WILL NOT BE ENOUGH
TO CAUSE SIGNIFICANT RISES ON LARGE STEM RIVERS.
