AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
345 PM EDT WED JUL 9 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT...MOVING INTO WESTERN NEW YORK STATE...WILL WORK ACROSS
THE REGION OVERNIGHT. SLIGHTLY COOLER AND MUCH DRIER AIR WILL TAKE
HOLD ON THURSDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
WATCHING SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS POP UP AND MOVE ACROSS OUR
REGION. ONE ROGUE STORM OVER IN BRATTLEBORO PRODUCE SIGNIFICANT WIND
DAMAGE DESPITE THE FACT THE CELL WAS WELL BELOW SEVERE
THRESHOLD...WITH ELEVATED CORE OF MAX WINDS NO HIGHER THAN 46 KTS AT
8000 FEET AND VILS IN THE 40S (AS OPPOSED TO THE VIL OF THE DAY
BEING CLOSER TO 60). WE ARE ACTUALLY SEEING SOME SUBSIDENCE IN THE
WAKE OF A PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH WHICH HAS ALLOWED FOR SOME BREAKS OF
SUNSHINE...WHICH IS LIKELY FURTHER DESTABILIZING THE ATMOSPHERE.
CERTAINLY NOT OUT OF THE WOODS YET...AND THE THREAT OF SEVERE
REMAINS SLIGHT.

FOR NOW...WILL CONTINUE WITH IDEA THAT THUNDERSTORMS COULD CONTAIN
STRONG GUSTY WINDS...HEAVY RAIN AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING. LAPSE RATES
REMAIN MODEST AT BEST (GENERALLY AT OR BELOW 6.0 C/KM).
HOWEVER...MSAS ANALYSIS SCBAPES RANGE FROM 1000-2000 J/KG FROM
ALBANY SOUTH AND EAST. IF A WATCH IS NEEDED...WILL BEEF UP
WORDING.

IT LOOKS AS IF THE REAL COLD FRONT WILL NOT CROSS OUR REGION UNTIL
AFTER 00Z. SHOWERS COULD LINGER UNTIL AROUND MIDNIGHT...BUT THE
THREAT OF SEVERE SHOULD DIMINISH AFTER SUNDOWN.

UPSTREAM TEMPS INDICATE LOW TEMPERATURES IN THE 50S NW OF
ALBANY...60-65 FROM ALBANY SOUTH AND EAST. A BLEND OF MODEL
GUIDANCES ARE ACCEPTED AND APPEAR TO CAPTURE THIS TREND.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
UPSTREAM DEWPOINTS IN THE LOWER 50S SHOULD BE MOVING INTO OUR REGION
ON THURSDAY ALONG WITH GUSTY WEST BREEZE. A MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE
FEELING DAY WITH LOTS OF SUNSHINE. SCATTERED CU SHOULD BE MAINLY
CONFINED TO THE HIGHER TERRAIN. GUSTS UP TO 30 MPH CAN BE EXPECTED
OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN...25 VALLEY LOCATIONS. WENT WITH A BLEND OF
ALL MACHINE GUIDANCE FOR HIGH TEMPERATURES.

A GOOD NIGHT FOR SLEEPING FOLLOWS ON THURSDAY NIGHT AS HIGH PRESSURE
CRESTS JUST TO THE SOUTH. WITH A MAINLY CLEAR AND SLACKENING
WINDS...GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING IN OUR SHELTERED
VALLEYS...TEMPERATURES COULD FALL AS LOW AS THE UPPER 40S...WHILE
MOST AREAS WILL BE IN THE 50S. WENT WITH A BLEND OF MODEL
GUIDANCE...BUT TWEAKED A FEW OF OUR USUAL COOLER PLACES.

ON FRIDAY...WHILE STARTING OUT MAINLY SUNNY AND DRY...BOTH THE GFS
AND NAM ELUDE TO SOME DYING MCS TRYING TO MOVE ACROSS AT LEAST THE
NORTHERN FRINGES OF OUR REGION. THIS WOULD FORM ALONG AN UPPER LEVEL
WARM FRONT...MOVING ACROSS THE REGION. HAVE INTRODUCED SLIGHT POPS
BY AFTERNOON EVERYWHERE...LOW CHANCES NW. H850 TEMPERATURES WARM
FROM ABOUT 12C TO 15C...SO KEPT TEMPERATURES ABOUT THE SAME AS
THURSDAY SINCE THERE COULD BE A BIT MORE CLOUDS COVER...AND A COOLER
MORNING TO START OFF.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THE WEEKEND STARTS OFF WITH INCREASING HEAT AND HUMIDITY AS HIGH
PRESSURE MOVES OUT OVER THE NORTH ATLANTIC...AND A MOIST SOUTHERLY
FLOW ENSUES.  A COLD FRONT PASSES THROUGH DURING THE DAY ON
SUNDAY...WITH A WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPING ALONG IT AS IT
PASSES OFF THE DELMARVA.  THUS...POPS REMAIN IN THE CHANCE CATEGORY
UNTIL TUESDAY.  THEN...HIGH PRESSURE FINALLY BUILDS IN.  WENT WITH
THE MOS GUIDANCE...WHICH STICKS CLOSE TO THE MEX...EXCEPT FOR THE
SUNDAY MORNING LOWS...WENT COOLER.  THE FIRST HALF OF NEXT WEEK WILL
FEATURE SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
WE ARE STILL IN SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON.

SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS CONTINUE ON THE RADAR SCREEN. THE
BIG QUESTION REMAINS WHETHER OR NOT COVERAGE WILL INCREASE AND
BECOME BETTER ORGANIZED. LOTS OF CLOUDS UPSTREAM ARE A MITIGATING
FACTOR. A PRE-FRONTAL BOUNDARY ALREADY SLIPPED TO OUR EAST...BUT ALL
IT DID WAS SHIFT THE WIND BUT THE DEWPOINTS REMAINS HIGH. THE SKY
HOWEVER...AS BRIEFLY CLEARED OUT WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR FURTHER
DESTABILIZATION. ANOTHER TROUGH MIGHT STILL MOVE THROUGH LATE IN THE
AFTERNOON...AND THE REAL COLD FRONT TONIGHT. EXPECT AT LEAST A
SMATTERING OF SHOWERS AND POSSIBLE STORMS THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON...BRIEFLY DROPPING CONDITIONS TO IFR. THERE IS AN OUTSIDE
CHANCE OF ANY STORM TO BECOME BRIEFLY STRONG TO SEVERE...PRODUCING
GUSTY WINDS. FOR NOW...CONTINUE THE CB PHILOSOPHY WITH TEMPO SHOWERS.

THE NEXT BIG CHALLENGE IS WHETHER OR NOT THERE WILL FOG OVERNIGHT.
GOOD PRESSURE RISES UPSTREAM INDICATE THAT WE MIGHT KEEP ENOUGH OF
BREEZE TO MINIMIZE FOG FORMATION. THATS HOW WE ARE PLAYING IT
NOW...OF COURSE THAT THINKING COULD CHANGE. STILL HAVE MVFR FOG AT
KGFL AND KPOU OVERNIGHT AND THIS FOG POTENTIAL WILL CONTINUE TO BE
MONITORED.

VFR WITH UNRESTRICTED VISIBILITIES EXPECTED ON THURSDAY. THERE WILL
BE A GUSTY WNW BREEZE...ESPECIALLY AT ALBANY WHERE IT COULD GUST
PAST 20KTS AT TIMES.

OUTLOOK...
FRIDAY...VFR...SLGHT CHC PM -TSRA.
SAT...VFR...POSS MAINLY ISOLD -SHRA.
SUN AND MON...VFR/MVFR...CHC -SHRA/TSRA.
TUE AND WED...VFR. NO SIG WX.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
EXPECT SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS THROUGH THIS EVENING...BECOMING
ISOLATED THEN ENDING OVERNIGHT. MUCH DRIER WEATHER ON TAP FOR
THURSDAY ALONG WITH A GUSTY W OR NW WIND. RH NEAR 100 PERCENT
TONIGHT...DROPPING TO 30-40 PERCENT THURSDAY AFTERNOON...EXCEPT
40-50 PERCENT ACROSS THE ADIRONDACKS. A FULL RECOVERY WITH DEW
EXPECTED THURSDAY OVERNIGHT AND RH VALUES DROPPING TO SIMILAR VALUES
ON FRIDAY. AN ISOLATED SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM POSSIBLE ON
FRIDAY...MAINLY NORTH AND WEST OF ALBANY.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
SOME OF THE STORMS TODAY HAVE BEEN RAINERS PRODUCING WELL OVER AN
INCH IN A FEW SPOTS. MORE RAINERS CAN BE EXPECTED THROUGH THIS
EVENING...WITH LOCALIZED AREAS RECEIVING AN ADDITIONAL INCH OR
TWO...WHILE RIVER BASIN AVERAGES WILL BE CLOSE TO A QUARTER OF AN
INCH. MOST WATERSHEDS WILL NOT SEE ANY RESPONSES...BUT IF A SLOW
MOVING THUNDERSTORM WERE TO MOVE A CRITICAL LOCATION OF A STREAM OR
EVEN A SMALL RIVER...SHARP WITHIN BANK RISES ARE POSSIBLE. IN
ADDITION...LOCALIZED HEAVY RAIN WILL PRODUCE LOCALIZED PONDING ON
ROADWAYS AND AREAS OF POOR DRAINAGE.

AFTER THIS EVENING...OUR WEATHER WILL TURN DRY AND REMAIN THAT DAY
AT LEAST IN FRIDAY. ON FRIDAY...A WARM FRONT MIGHT TOUCH OFF SOME
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS...OR PERHAPS AN MCS. HOWEVER...THE AIR
WILL BE DRY AND ANY MCS WILL LIKELY NOT PRODUCE ENOUGH RAINFALL TO
PRODUCE ANY RESPONSES. MORE DRY WEATHER SATURDAY...WITH THE NEXT
CHANCE OF SHOWERS ON SUNDAY.
