Flash Flood Warning 15, NWS Binghamton, NY

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BINGHAMTON NY
220 PM EDT SUN AUG 10 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
AN UNSEASONABLY STRONG UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL
MOVE THROUGH THE AREA TODAY AND ON MONDAY.  THIS LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM WILL BRING NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE
REGION TODAY...WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS ALONG WITH A CHANCE OF A
THUNDERSTORM FOR MONDAY. SOMEWHAT DRIER WEATHER IS EXPECTED FOR
TUESDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN WELL BELOW NORMAL THROUGH EARLY
NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
UPDATED AS OF 220 PM EDT...
UPDATED ZONES AND GRIDS FOR SVR WATCH NUMBER 819.

UPDATED AS OF 1130 AM...
LINE OF STRONGER STORMS HAS DEVELOPED OVER THE FAR EASTERN PART OF
THE CWA LATE THIS MORNING AND IS MOVING EAST OF THE AREA TOWARD
THE HUDSON VALLEY. PARTIAL CLEARING HAS OCCURRED BEHIND THE LINE AND
THIS WILL ALLOW FOR DESTABILIZATION WITH STRONG UPPER- LEVEL COLD
POOL MOVING IN FROM THE WEST. RUC / NAM SOUNDINGS INDICATING ML
CAPES INCREASING TO AS HIGH AS 1200 J/KG LATER THIS AFTERNOON. 0-6
KM BULK SHEAR VALUES OF 30 KTS WILL BE SUFFICIENT TO SUPPORT SHORT
LINES OF STORMS DEVELOPING SHORTLY AFTER NOON WITH AN ISOLATED
DAMAGING WIND AND LARGE HAIL THREAT.

HAVE UPDATED THE GRIDS AND ZONES TO REFLECT A LULL IN THE ACTIVITY
FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS... FOLLOWED BY RAPID DEVELOPMENT OF
NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. WILL
ISSUE AN SPS TO ADDRESS THE THREAT OF ISOLATED WIND AND LARGE HAIL
THIS AFTERNOON.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...
PRETTY COMPLEX SCENARIO TODAY AS INTENSE UPPER LEVEL LOW DIVES
SOUTH JUST WEST OF THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES TODAY. BAND OF
SHRA/TSRA HAS MOVED INTO MY WESTERN ZONES OVERNIGHT ON THE LEADING
EDGE OF MODEST PVA ALOFT COMBINED BOTH WITH POSITIVE LLEVEL THETAE
ADVECTION COMBINED WITH COOLING ALOFT...WHICH HAS ALLOWED FOR
DESTABILIZATION OF THE COLUMN /ABOVE THE SURFACE/. TSRA ACTIVITY
HAS WANED DURING THE OVERNIGHT AS THE LLEVEL STABILITY INCREASES
AND THE CONVECTION GETS A LITTLE AHEAD OF THE BEST FORCING ALOFT.

EXPECT THIS INITIAL BAND OF CONVECTION TO GRADUALLY DIMINISH IN
INTENSITY/COVERAGE AS IT HEADS EAST THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING
HOURS...AND SUGGESTED BY BOTH THE NAM/GFS.

PVA ALOFT GRADUALLY INCREASES TODAY AS SPOKES OF ENERGY ROTATE
AROUND THE CENTER OF THE LOW...WHICH WILL MOVE MAINLY SOUTH TODAY.
IN ADDITION...BEHIND THE INITIAL BAND OF CONVECTION...THERE IS
SOME CLEARING...SOME SOME FILTERED MORNING SUN IS NOT OUT OF THE
QUESTION OVER FAR WESTERN AREAS...WITH SUN ALSO POSSIBLE OVER THE
FAR SOUTHEASTERN ZONES...WHICH REMAIN MCLEAR ATTM AND WILL
CERTAINLY SEE SOME MORNING SUN BEFORE ACTIVITY MOVES IN FROM THE WEST.

THE COMBINATION OF UPPER FORCING...COOLING ALOFT...AND ANY LLEVEL
WARMING THIS MORNING WILL SUPPORT A BLOSSOMING AREA OF SHRA/TSRA
BY MID/LATE MORNING...AND HAVE KEPT LIKELY POPS FOR THE REGION
TODAY. AS ADVERTISED...COOL TEMPS ALOFT SHOULD SUPPORT A LARGE
HAIL THREAT...WITH THE SIZE OF THE HAIL GREATLY DEPENDING ON HOW
MUCH SFC-BASED INSTABILITY WE CAN GENERATE TODAY. BOTH THE GFS/NAM
MAXIMIZE DESTABILIZATION ALONG AND EAST OF INTERSTATE 81
TODAY...WITH CAPES AROUND 1000J/KG IN THESE LOCATIONS...WITH
VALUES DROPPING TO 500 J/KG OR LESS IN THE WEST WHERE NEGATIVE
LLEVEL THETAE ADVECTION WILL TAKE OVER BY LATE MORNING. SO...AM IN
AGREEMENT WITH SPC SLIGHT RISK AREA WHICH BASICALLY HIGHLIGHTS
AREAS ALONG AND SE OF AN ITHACA-UTICA LINE. FEEL HAIL IS POSSIBLE
WITH ANY OF THE STORMS...HOWEVER...AND HAVE MENTIONED SMALL HAIL
EVEN NORTH AND WEST OF THIS LINE.

TEMPS WON/T MOVE FAR TODAY WITH CLOUD COVER AND RAINFALL...ONLY
REACHING AROUND 70.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
UPPER LOW SINKS SOUTH OF THE REGION TONIGHT WITH COOLEST TEMPS
ALOFT ROTATING INTO PA. WITH COOLING LLEVEL TEMPS AND NEUTRAL
VORTICITY ADVECTION ALOFT SUGGESTING A WEAKENING DYNAMIC
CONTRIBUTION...EXPECT SHRA/TSRA ACTIVITY TO WANE THIS
EVENING...BUT CONTINUE IN A MORE SCATTERED FORM THROUGH THE NIGHT
AS DEEP CYCLONIC FLOW IN A MOIST AIRMASS SHOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM
SQUEEZING OUT SOME SHRA. CAN/T RULE OUT A STRAY TSRA OVERNIGHT
GIVEN SOME WEAK REMAINING INSTABILITY...BUT SVR THREAT SHOULD END.
TEMPS WILL FALL INTO THE MID 50S. WITH A BROAD SFC LOW NEARLY
OVERHEAD...EXPECT VERY LIGHT FLOW THROUGH THE NIGHT...WHICH
COMBINED WITH AMPLE LLEVEL MOISTURE FROM TODAY/S RAIN...SHOULD BE
GOOD FOR PATCHY FOG THROUGHOUT THE CWA.

THE VERY GRADUAL IMPROVEMENT TREND WILL BEGIN ON MONDAY AS THE
UPPER LOW PASSES EAST OF OUR LONGITUDE WITH NVA DEVELOPING AND
MUCH OF THE DEEP MOISTURE PASSING TO OUR EAST. HOWEVER... WE WILL
STILL BE DEALING WITH THE COLD POOL ALOFT. THE NAM/GFS ARE PRETTY
DIFFERENT IN THEIR HANDLING OF THE UPPER LOW AND POTENTIAL SFC LOW
DEVELOPMENT TO ITS EAST WITH THE NAM TAKING A MUCH MORE SOUTHERN
ROUTE WITH THE UPPER LOW CENTER AND ITS ASSOCIATED COLD POOL. THE
SREFS ARE ACTUALLY MORE IN LINE WITH THE GFS...WHICH WE FOLLOWED
FOR THE DAY...GIVING EASTERN AREAS THE BEST SHOT OF SEEING
SHRA/TSRA ACTIVITY. HAVE LIKELY POPS IN THESE AREAS WITH CHC TO
THE WEST. TSRA ACTIVITY WILL CERTAINLY NOT BE AS VIGOROUS AS ON
SUNDAY...BUT EMBEDDED THUNDER CAN/T BE RULED OUT WITH SMALL HAIL
AGAIN POSSIBLE GIVEN WET BULB ZERO HEIGHTS 6-7KFT.
CLOUDINESS...ALONG WITH COOL T850 AROUND +9 WILL ONLY ALLOW HIGHS
AROUND 70F.

UPPER LOW GETS KICKED NORTHEAST BY THE NEXT SHORTWAVE ROTATING
SOUTH OF JAMES BAY IN THE FLOW AROUND THE EASTERN NOAM TROUGH
MONDAY NIGHT. WILL BRING AN END TO THE POPS GIVEN THE RISING
HEIGHTS/TEMPS ALOFT WITH VERY GRADUAL CLEARING. LOWS WILL AGAIN BE
IN THE MID 50S.

TUESDAY LOOKS BETTER THAN MONDAY BUT WITH THE NEXT SHORTWAVE
APPROACHING BY EARLY AFTERNOON...COOLING TEMPS ALOFT AND WEAK PVA
MAY ALLOW FOR AN ISOLATED SHRA. CAPPING ALOFT SHOULD PRECLUDE ANY
TSRA ACTIVITY AND MOST LOCATIONS WILL SEE THEIR FIRST DRY DAY
SINCE SATURDAY. T850 STILL AROUND +10C...BUT WITH MORE
SUN...EXPECT HIGHS TO CLIMB INTO THE LOWER AND MIDDLE 70S.

TUESDAY NIGHT LOOKS CHILLY WITH DRIER AIR FILTERING IN FROM CANADA
AND COOL TEMPS ALOFT. LOWS WILL LIKELY FALL TO AROUND 50...ABOUT
10F BELOW SEASONAL NORMS.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
UPR LOW CENTER NEAR JAMES BAY WILL SLOWLY DROP SOUTH TOWARD NY THURS
AND FRI PUTTING THE REGION BACK INTO THE COOL SHOWERY PATTERN.
TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN BELOW NORMAL WITH HIGHS IN THE MID 70S. UPR
LEVEL TROUGH AND LOW BEGIN TO MOVE SLOWLY EAST ON SAT. WITH HIGHER
PRESSURE BUILDING IN WILL HELP TEMPERATURES WARM TO NEAR NORMAL
AND CHANCES FOR SHOWERS LESSEN.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
MAINLY VFR DIURNAL CU DECK ACRS C NY/NE PA WITH MAIN BAND OF
SHRA/TSRA ACRS THE ERN PART OF SERVICE. KRME WILL BE MOST AFFECTED
BY TSRA SO WENT WITH IFR VSBYS IN TSRA. KBGM AND KAVP WILL BE ON
THE WRN EDGE OF THIS BAND OF SHRA/TSRA SO HAVE TEMPO IFR. REST OF
TAFS VFR THIS AFTRN. FOR TONIGHT...SHRA/S AND IFR CONDITIONS WILL
SETTLE IN LATE AS BNDRY LYR MOISTURE REMAINS HIGH AS TAFS.

OUTLOOK...

SUNDAY NIGHT...LINGERING SHRA WITH IFR STRATUS DEVELOPING.

MONDAY...MVFR WITH SCATTERED SHRA/TSRA. MONDAY NIGHT MVFR
STRATUS/FOG AT CNY SITES WITH VFR NE PA.

TUESDAY-WEDNESDAY...GENERALLY VFR. AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHRA/TSRA MAY
