AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
950 AM EDT MON AUG 11 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
THE COMBINATION OF AN UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TRACKING EAST
ACROSS PENNSYLVANIA...AND A SURFACE LOW TRACKING NORTHEAST OFF THE
NEW JERSEY COAST...WILL PRODUCE OCCASIONAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
TODAY INTO THIS EVENING...ALONG WITH UNSEASONABLY COOL TEMPERATURES.
THE UPPER LEVEL AND SURFACE LOW WILL GRADUALLY MOVE EAST OF THE
REGION ON TUESDAY...WITH SLOWLY IMPROVING CONDITIONS EXPECTED.
ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM APPROACHING FROM THE WEST WILL SPREAD
MORE SHOWERS INTO THE REGION LATE WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 8 PM THIS EVENING/...
CENTER OF UPPER LOW STARTING TO PUSH EASTWARD ACROSS PA...WITH
PLENTY OF MOISTURE SURGING NORTHWARD INTO OUR REGION EAST OF THE
LOW. SEVERAL SMALL DISTURBANCES ROTATING AROUND THE MAIN CORE OF
THE UPPER LOW WILL PROVIDE OCCASIONAL SHOWERS WITH EMBEDDED
THUNDERSTORMS. SOMEWHAT OF A LULL THIS MORNING ACROSS MUCH OF THE
HUDSON VALLEY INTO THE TACONICS AND BERKSHIRES...SO WILL LOWER
POPS A BIT IN THIS AREA UNTIL AFTERNOON WHEN ADDITIONAL
CONVECTION SHOULD FILL IN.

A LOT MORE CLOUD COVER TODAY THAN YESTERDAY TO START...ALTHOUGH
THERE WERE SOME BREAKS SOUTH OF ALBANY FOR A FEW HOURS THIS
MORNING. THIS AREA WILL BE THE FOCUS FOR POSSIBLE ISOLATED SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS WITH LARGE HAIL TODAY. MLCAPE VALUES OF 1000-1500
J/KG EXPECTED ACROSS THE MID HUDSON VALLEY EASTWARD TO THE
TACONICS...SOUTHERN BERKSHIRES AND LITCHFIELD HILLS. SPC HAS
PLACED THIS AREA IN A SLIGHT RISK FOR TODAY...AND WILL MENTION
ENHANCED WORDING IN HWO. SIMILAR TO YESTERDAY THE MAIN THREAT WITH
STORMS WILL BE HAIL...AS WIND FIELD REMAINS RATHER LIGHT AND
850-500 MB LAPSE RATES ARE QUITE STEEP CLOSE TO 7C/KM. ALSO...COLD
CORE ALOFT REMAINS OVERHEAD WITH 500 MB TEMPS OF -16C TO -17C AND
WBZERO HEIGHTS LESS THAN 9000 FEET. AT LEAST SMALL HAIL EXPECTED
OUTSIDE OF SLIGHT RISK AREA...BUT DUE TO STEEP LAPSE RATES ALOFT A
FEW ROGUE STORM MAY PRODUCE SOME PENNY SIZE HAIL TOO.

ADDI TONAL CONCERN FOR TODAY WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR LOCALIZED
HEAVY RAINFALL DUE TO POSSIBLE TRAINING OF CONVECTIVE CELLS. THIS
MAY LEAD TO MINOR FLOODING OF SMALL STREAMS/URBAN LOCATIONS. PWAT
VALUES NOT PARTICULARLY HIGH /AROUND 1.15 INCHES FROM 12Z ALB
SOUNDING/...HOWEVER WIND FLOW GENERALLY UNIDIRECTIONAL FROM THE
SOUTH AND WEAK WHICH WILL LEAD TO THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME
TRAINING.

TEMPS WILL BE COOL TODAY WITH CLOUDS/PRECIP PERSISTING. GENERALLY
MAX TEMPS IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S ACROSS THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS
WITH LOWER 70S IN THE VALLEYS. HOWEVER...MUCH OF THE TIME TEMPS
WILL BE HELD DOWN IN THE 60S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /8 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
TONIGHT...SHOWERS/TSTMS SHOULD GRADUALLY DIMINISH IN AREAL COVERAGE
LATER THIS EVENING...AND WILL THEREFORE DECREASE POPS THROUGH THE
NIGHT. IN FACT...SOME BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS MAY
DEVELOP...WHICH...GIVEN THE SATURATED SOIL CONDITIONS...COULD EASILY
LEAD TO AREAS OF FOG...WHICH HAS BEEN INCLUDED IN FORECAST.
OVERNIGHT MINS SHOULD FALL INTO THE MID/UPPER 50S IN MANY
LOCALES...WITH PERHAPS SOME LOWER 50S ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE NORTH
COUNTRY.

TUE...ALTHOUGH CLOSED LOW EVENTUALLY SHOULD OPEN UP AND MOVE TO THE
E...ENOUGH MOISTURE AND COLD MID LEVEL TEMPS ROTATING AROUND WESTERN
PERIPHERY OF DEPARTING LOW SHOULD KEEP CLOUDS...AND AT LEAST
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED TSTMS ACROSS NE AREAS...SUCH AS
SOUTHERN VT AND THE UPPER HUDSON VALLEY REGION. FURTHER
S/W...MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY WILL BE MORE LIMITED...AND THUS HAVE
INDICATED LOWER POPS /SLIGHT CHC TO LOW CHC/. IN FACT...WELL TO THE
S/W...DEVELOPING MID LEVEL SUBSIDENCE INVERSION MAY INHIBIT CLOUD
DEPTH AND THUNDER POTENTIAL...AND THEREFORE WILL ONLY INCLUDE
MENTION OF SHOWERS ACROSS THE MID HUDSON VALLEY REGION. AS FOR MAX
TEMPS...GIVEN DOWNSLOPING NW FLOW...AND AT LEAST A FEW BREAKS OF
SUNSHINE...THINK MID/UPPER 70S ARE LIKELY ACROSS MOST VALLEY
LOCALES...WITH UPPER 60S/LOWER 70S ACROSS THE NORTH COUNTRY. SOME
AREAS OF THE MID HUDSON VALLEY COULD EVEN REACH OR SLIGHTLY EXCEED
80.

TUE NT...WEAK SHORTWAVE RIDGE SLIDES E ACROSS THE REGION. THIS
SHOULD ALLOW FOR MAINLY CLEAR SKIES...AND LIGHT WINDS...WHICH MAY
LEAD TO FOG FORMATION. MIN TEMPS SHOULD BE A FEW DEGREES COOLER THEN
MON NT...WITH LOWER/MID 50S EXPECTED IN MANY VALLEY LOCALES...AND
POSSIBLY EVEN SOME 40S ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE NORTH COUNTRY.

WED...SHOULD BE MOSTLY SUNNY TO START...BUT YET ANOTHER SHORTWAVE
RAPIDLY APPROACHES FROM THE GREAT LAKES. AS THIS SYSTEM
APPROACHES...WILL INDICATE SLIGHT CHC TO CHC POPS FOR WED
AFTERNOON...HIGHEST ACROSS NW AREAS. ENOUGH INSTABILITY AND UPPER
LEVEL DYNAMICS SHOULD ALLOW FOR AT LEAST A CHC OF THUNDER AS WELL.
OTHERWISE...MAX TEMPS SHOULD BE A FEW DEGREES WARMER THAN TUE...WITH
MAXES REACHING AROUND OR SLIGHTLY OVER 80 WITHIN THE VALLEYS...AND
LOWER/MID 70S ACROSS THE NORTH COUNTRY.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
QUITE AN ACTIVE FORTHCOMING PERIOD OF THE FORECAST WITH A POTENTIAL
FOR COASTAL DEVELOPMENT AND IMPACTING THE REGION WEDNESDAY NIGHT
INTO THURSDAY.  WITH THE ARRIVAL OF THE ECMWF...IT SOMEWHAT
RESEMBLES THE DGEX AND ASSOCIATED SIGNALS FROM THE GFS.
HOWEVER...CONFIDENCE OF A STRONG SURFACE LOW TRACKING ALONG THE
EASTERN SEABOARD IS RATHER LOW.  AS COLLABORATED WITH HPC AND
OPC...A COMPROMISE OF THE TWO GLOBAL MODELS IS IN ORDER WHICH WOULD
AGREE WITH THE CANADIAN GLOBAL MODEL TAKING THIS WAVE OUT TO SEA.
WOULD NEED TO WATCH FOR A POTENTIAL PRE AS INCREASED BAROCLINICITY
AND WEAK SURFACE TROUGH ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN THE VICINITY.

IN THE WAKE OF THESE FEATURES...SHOULD BE A TRANQUIL END OF THE WEEK
WITH TEMPERATURES RETURNING TOWARD SEASONABLE LEVELS.  THE WEEKEND
SEEMS TO BE SHAPING UP WITH A BUILDING RIDGE ALONG THE EASTERN
SEABOARD.  THIS TOO WILL RESULT IN WARMER AND MORE HUMID CONDITIONS
AND THE CHANCE FOR CONVECTION ALONG THE WARM FRONT AND INCREASING
HUMID CONDITIONS.

&&

.AVIATION /14Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
ADDITIONAL CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP AND BECOME A MORE
STEADY STATE RAINFALL BEGINNING LATE THIS MORNING.  MAINLY MVFR
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THIS TAF CYCLE.  SINCE ITS HARD TO
PIN DOWN WHERE STRONGEST CONVECTION WILL IMPACT THE TAF SITES...DID
INDICATE CB FOR LATE MORNING INTO THIS AFTERNOON WHERE THE
GREATEST INSTABILITY IS EXPECTED. A BAND OF RAIN MIGHT IMPACT GFL-
ALB OVERNIGHT WITH A PERIOD OF IFR CONDITIONS AND THIS WILL BE
MONITORED CLOSELY.

OUTLOOK...
TUE...VFR/MVFR...CHC OF SHRA/TSRA.
TUE NT-WED AM...VFR.
WED PM-THU...VFR/MVFR CHC SHRA/TSRA...POSS IFR IN HVR RAINFALL AND
FOG OVRNT.
FRI...VFR...SLGT CHC -SHRA...MAINLY OVR ELEVATIONS.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TRACKING SOUTH OF THE REGION WILL KEEP
WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...AND WET FLAG CONDITIONS
ACROSS THE REGION TODAY INTO THIS EVENING. THE LOW WILL GRADUALLY
MOVE EAST OF THE REGION ON TUESDAY...ALTHOUGH LINGERING SHOWERS AND
A FEW THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY FOR AREAS
NORTH AND EAST OF ALBANY.

THE RH WILL FALL INTO THE 60-80 PERCENT RANGE EARLY THIS
AFTERNOON...BEFORE RECOVERING INTO THE 90-100 PERCENT RANGE TONIGHT.
THE RH WILL THEN FALL INTO THE 50-60 PERCENT RANGE FOR TUE AFTERNOON.

HAINES INDICES WILL REACH 3 THIS AFTERNOON...AND 3 TO 4 TUE
AFTERNOON.

WINDS WILL BE FROM THE NORTHEAST TODAY AT 5-10 MPH...BECOMING NORTH
TO NORTHWEST TONIGHT AT 5-10 MPH...AND WEST TO NORTHWEST AND
INCREASING TO 10-20 MPH BY TUE AFTERNOON.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
RAINFALL CONTINUES TO BE FROM THUNDERSTORMS AND GENERALLY SCATTERED
IN NATURE...ALTHOUGH WE DO ANTICIPATE A FEW AREAS OF HEAVY
PRECIPITATION AS THIS UPPER LOW TRACKS SOUTHWARD AND A MORE GENERAL
RAINFALL DEVELOPING THROUGH THE DAY.  CURRENT RIVER GAGES HAVE SHOWN
LITTLE RESPONSE THUS FAR WHERE THE HEAVIER RAIN HAS FALLEN...WITH
LOCATIONS ALONG THE METTAWEE RIVER...WALLOOMSAC RIVER...HOOSIC RIVER
EXPERIENCING THE MOST IMPACT /WITHIN BANK RISES OF A FEW FEET/.

FORECAST PRECIPITATION FOR THE NEXT 36 HOURS IS BETWEEN 0.50 AND 1.5
INCHES ACROSS THE AREA. THIS PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO BRING MANY
SMALL STREAMS TO NEAR BANK FULL...ESPECIALLY WHERE RAIN FELL
EARLIER...BUT IS NOT EXPECTED TO CAUSE MAIN STEM RIVER FLOODING.
LOCALIZED URBAN...POOR DRAINAGE AND SMALL STREAM FLOODING IS
POSSIBLE OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS WHERE HEAVY DOWNPOURS OCCUR FROM
THUNDERSTORMS.
