AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
157 AM EDT TUE APR 29 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE ALONG A FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVER THE EASTERN UNITES STATES
WILL DEEPEN AS IT TRACKS NORTHEAST OVER THE REGION TONIGHT...AND
THEN INTO NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND TUESDAY. A WIDESPREAD SOAKING RAIN
WILL CONTINUE TO AFFECT THE REGION THROUGH TONIGHT. AFTER THE STORM
MOVES BY...COOL AIR WILL REMAIN OVER OUR REGION THROUGH THE MIDDLE
OF THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
LATEST TRENDS CONTINUE TO FALL IN LINE WITH THE PREVIOUS FORECAST.
HOWEVER...A SLIGHT DEVIATION FROM THIS THINKING IS THE LATEST TREND
IN IR/H2O VAPOR IMAGERY.  A SECONDARY WARM CONVEYOR BELT APPEARS TO
BE UNDERWAY ACROSS THE NATIONS CAPITAL AND ADVANCING NORTHEAST.
MEANWHILE...UPSTREAM FRONT BOUNDARY AND ASSOCIATED DRIER AIR WAS
INFILTRATING INTO OUR WESTERN ZONES.  SO WILL LOWER POPS WEST BUT
KEEP THEM CATEGORICAL EAST FOR MOST OF THE NIGHT.  PRECIP AMOUNTS
HAVE RANGED BETWEEN 1-1.50 INCHES MAINLY EAST OF THE HUDSON RIVER
INCLUDING PORTIONS OF THE CATSKILLS.  WHILE RIVERS AND STREAMS HAVE
RESPONDED...RECENT DRY WEATHER AND RELATIVELY LOW RIVER
FLOWS...SHOULD BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN WATER LEVELS WITHIN THEIR BANKS.
UP TO ANOTHER INCH OF RAIN IS POSSIBLE FOR THOSE EASTERN ZONES
OVERNIGHT.  COMPACT UPPER LOW EMBEDDED IN DEEP TROUGH ACROSS IN/OH
WILL BE OUR FORECAST CONCERN ON TUESDAY...

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...IR SATELLITE AND RADAR LOOPS INDICATE THAT THE
BACK EDGE OF THE PCPN IS ON TRACK TO MOVE THROUGH THE REGION TONIGHT
ALONG THE FASTER MOVEMENT OF THE THE GFS. NAM AND ECMWF LINGER
STEADY PCPN WELL INTO WEDNESDAY. WHILE THE GFS MAY LINGER SOME
STEADY RAIN OVER THE WESTERN NEW ENGLAND ZONES TUESDAY MORNING...ALL
AREAS ARE FORECAST TO BE DRY DURING THE AFTERNOON.

ALL MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH H5 TROF AXIS GOING STRONGLY
NEGATIVE TILT DURING THIS PERIOD...BUT AS MENTIONED EARLIER...GFS
SPEED/MOVEMENT OF THIS TROF APPEARS TO BE THE BEST. CATEGORICAL POPS
IN ALL ZONES TONIGHT. FOR TUESDAY MORNING...CHANCE TO SLIGHT CHANCE
POPS OVER THE NEW YORK ZONES...LIKELY POPS OVER WESTERN NEW ENGLAND
ZONES.

HAVE FORECAST LOWS FOR TONIGHT TO BE ABOUT 5 TO 7 DEGREES BELOW
CURRENT READINGS. IT APPEARS THAT COLDER AIR BEHIND THE TROF WILL
ARRIVE TOO LATE TO AFFECT OVERNIGHT LOWS VERY MUCH.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/...
HAVE LINGERED SLIGHT CHANCE OR CHANCE POPS IN ALL ZONES FOR THE
AFTERNOON. GENERALLY...ATMOSPHERE WILL BE DRYING OUT DURING THE
AFTERNOON...BUT HAVE KEPT THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS IN THE FORECAST DUE
TO THE INSTABILITY THAT RESULTS FROM THE COLDER AIR MOVING IN ALOFT.

ALL THE MOS FORECASTS HAVE SOME PROBLEMS WITH THE HIGHS FORECAST FOR
TUESDAY. USED THE MET GUIDANCE TO START...BUT FORECAST TEMPS ABOUT 3
TO 5 DEGREES HIGHER THAN THE MET MOS...WHICH RESULTS IN HIGHS IN THE
MID 40S TO THE 50S.

THE FORECAST AREA IS WELL INTO THE COLD AIR TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN AND CREST OVER THE REGION
BY SUNRISE THURSDAY. NO PCPN FORECAST DURING THIS PERIOD.

LOWS TUESDAY NIGHT FORECAST TO BE IN THE MID 20S TO LOW 30S. SURFACE
WINDS WILL REMAIN GUSTY ACROSS THE REGION DURING THE NIGHT...THEREBY
PREVENTING TEMPS FROM DROPPING MUCH MORE THAN FORECAST DUE TO
RADIATIONAL COOLING.

HIGHS WEDNESDAY WILL BE A LITTLE COLDER THAN TUESDAY AND RANGE FROM
THE LOWER 40S TO THE MID 50S...ABOUT 10 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL.

BETTER RADIATIONAL COOLING CONDITIONS WEDNESDAY NIGHT WILL RESULT IN
TEMPS FALLING INTO THE 20S TO AROUND 30. SOME READINGS IN THE TEENS
ARE LIKELY ACROSS THE ADIRONDACK ZONES. CLOUDS MAY INCREASE ACROSS
THE REGION DURING THE NIGHT...ESPECIALLY SOUTHERN AREAS. THIS WOULD
KEEP TEMPS FROM GETTING AS LOW AS FORECAST...BUT HAVE KEPT THE TEMP
FORECASTS ON THE COLD SIDE SINCE CONFIDENCE IN GETTING SIGNIFICANT
CLOUDINESS IS LOW.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
THE EXTENDED PERIOD BEGINS WITH A WARM FRONT SITUATED SOUTH OF THE
REGION ACROSS THE NORTHERN TIER OF PA STRETCHING TOWARDS THE NYC
METRO AREA. WITH OUR AREA REMAINING ON THE COOLER SIDE OF THE
BOUNDARY...AND 850 MB TEMPS OF JUST 1-3 DEGREES C...WOULD EXPECT
MAINLY JUST 50S ACROSS THE ENTIRE CWA FOR THURSDAY. THERE WILL BE
MORE CLOUDS TOWARDS THE SOUTH...AND HAVE INCLUDED LOW CHC POPS
ACROSS THE EASTERN CATSKILLS...MID HUDSON VALLEY...AND LITCHFIELD
HILLS...FOR THURSDAY AFTN AS THE WARM FRONT TRIES TO LIFT NORTHWARD.
THIS BOUNDARY WILL BECOME QUASI STATIONARY AND REMAIN SITUATED OVER
THE SAME AREA INTO FRIDAY...AS THE MAIN LOW OVER THE UPPER
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY CUTS OFF AND SLOWS DOWN ITS EASTWARD PROGRESS.
850 MB TEMPS WILL BE A FEW DEGREES WARMER ON FRIDAY...AND WITH A
GOOD DEAL OF SUN EXPECTED FOR CENTRAL AND NORTHERN AREAS...WOULD
THINK HIGHS WILL REACH INTO THE MID 60S ON FRIDAY FOR THE VALLEYS.
HIGHEST TEMPS MAY ACTUALLY WIND UP BEING AROUND THE CAPITAL REGION
AS OPPOSED TO THE MID HUDSON VALLEY...AS THERE WILL BE LESS CLOUDS
THIS FURTHER NORTH.

OVER THE WEEKEND...THE ECMWF AND GFS HAVE DIFFERENT IDEAS FOR THE
OVERALL PATTERN ACROSS THE EASTERN US. THE GFS FAVORS AN OMEGA BLOCK
TO BRIEFLY DEVELOP OVER THE REGION...ALLOWING FOR SATURDAY AND EVEN
MOST OF SUNDAY TO BE DRY ACROSS THE REGION. MEANWHILE...THE ECMWF
PUSHES THE CUTOFF OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC OUT TO SEA...ALLOWING
THE STORM OVER THE MIDWEST TO BE MORE PROGRESSIVE...AND START
AFFECTING OUT REGION. AS EARLY AS SATURDAY. HAVE DECIDED TO FAVOR
THE MORE OPTIMISTIC GFS SOLUTION FOR NOW...KEEPING SATURDAY DRY
ACROSS THE REGION. WILL GO WITH CHC POPS IN NORTHWESTERN AREAS FOR
SUNDAY...AND CHC POPS IN MOST AREAS BY SUNDAY NIGHT. HAVE ALSO GONE
CLOSE TO MEX TEMPS ACROSS THE REGION FOR THE WEEKEND AS WELL...WITH
60S DURING THE DAY...AND 40S AT NIGHT IN THE VALLEYS...AND UPPER 30S
IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
LOW PRESSURE CONTINUES TO MOVE SLOWLY N/NE FROM JUST NORTH OF NEW
YORK CITY INTO WESTERN NEW ENGLAND BASED ON THE RUC13KM...
SATELLITE...RADAR...AND SFC OB TRENDS.  MUCH OF THE HUDSON RIVER
VALLEY TERMINALS ARE STUCK IN THE DEFORMATION ZONE OF THE SYSTEM NOW
UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE COLD CONVEYOR BELT.  THE BAND OF MODERATE
TO HEAVY RAINFALL IS NOW EAST OF THE CT RIVER VALLEY.  RESIDUAL -RA
AND SPOTTY SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE PRIOR TO 14Z/TUE.  THIS MEANS THAT
WIDESPREAD IFR CIGS AND VSBYS WILL CONTINUE FOR
KPOU/KALB/KGFL...WITH EVEN SOME LIFR CIGS.  THE WINDS WILL CONTINUE
TO BE FROM THE W/NW AT 5-10 KTS.

AFTER 14Z/TUE...DRIER AIR WILL BEGIN TO FILTER IN FROM THE NW WITH
SUBSIDENCE SCOURING OUT THE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE.  EXPECT CIGS TO RISE
TO MVFR/VFR LEVELS 14Z-18Z WITH DOWNSLOPING OFF THE
ADIRONDACKS/CATSKILLS WITH BRISK W/NW WINDS INCREASING TO 10-15 KTS
WITH SOME GUSTS TO 25 KTS.

AFTER 18Z/TUE...SCT-BKN STRATOCUMULUS WILL REMAIN WITH LOW PRESSURE
MOVING WELL E/NE INTO THE GULF OF MAINE.  A STRONG HORIZONTAL
PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN THE GULF OF MAINE LOW AND HIGH PRESSURE
NEAR THE TN VALLEY WILL CONTINUE THE BLUSTERY NW WINDS OF 12-20 KTS
WITH SOME GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 30 KTS /ESPECIALLY AT KALB/.  THE WINDS
WILL SLACKEN AFTER 00Z/WED WITH CLEAR SKIES.

OUTLOOK...
WED...VFR...NO SIG WX.
THU...VFR/MVFR. CHC SHOWERS KPOU SOUTH.
FRI-SAT...VFR/MVFR. CHANCE OF -SHRAS KALB SOUTH.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
RELATIVITY HUMIDITY VALUES WILL REMAIN BETWEEN 80 AND 100 PERCENT
THROUGH TONIGHT AS A SOAKING RAIN FALLS ACROSS THE REGION. ONE TO
TWO INCH TOTAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS WILL BE COMMON ACROSS THE REGION BY
THE TIME THE STEADY ENDS AROUND SUNRISE TUESDAY.

HUMIDITY VALUES WILL LOWER TO 35 TO 50 PERCENT ON TUESDAY OVER NEW
YORK...AND 45 TO 60 PERCENT OVER THE WESTERN NEW ENGLAND AREAS.

SOUTHEAST WINDS 5 TO 15 MPH...WILL BECOME WEST TO NORTHWEST LATE
TONIGHT. ON TUESDAY NORTHWEST WINDS OF 10 TO 15 MPH IN THE
MORNING WILL INCREASE TO 15 TO 25 MPH DURING THE AFTERNOON WITH
GUSTS UP TO 30 TO 35 MPH.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
FLOODING IS STILL OCCURRING ALONG THE UPPER HUDSON RIVER NEAR
SCHUYLERVILLE...APPEARS THIS AREA WILL REMAIN ABOVE FLOOD FOR THE
FORESEEABLE FUTURE. IT APPEARS FORT EDWARD SHOULD REMAIN BELOW
FLOOD. THE SOUTHERN ADIRONDACK AND UPPER HUDSON REGIONS WILL LIKELY
RECEIVE 1-1 1/2 INCHES TOTAL RAINFALL THROUGH MOST OF TONIGHT...
BEFORE THE RAIN TAPERS OFF LATE TONIGHT. THE CAPITAL REGION...
SOUTHERN VERMONT...AND THE MOHAWK RIVER VALLEY SOUTH AND EAST WILL
LIKELY GET 1-2 INCHES OF RAIN WITH SOME LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS UP TO
THREE INCHES ACROSS WRN NEW ENGLAND...INCLUDING THE HOUSATONIC AND
CT RIVER BASINS AND TRIBUTARIES...OVER THE NEXT 12-18 HOURS. SOME
LOCATIONS WILL REACH ACTION STAGE WITH A FEW POSSIBLY APPROACHING
FLOOD STAGE...MAINLY ACROSS THE ADIRONDACKS. PLEASE REFER TO OUR
ADVANCED HYDROLOGIC PREDICTION SERVICE PAGE ON THE WEB.
