MOST FLOOD DEATHS OCCUR IN AUTOMOBILES. NEVER DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO
AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE ROADWAY. FLOOD WATERS ARE USUALLY
DEEPER THAN THEY APPEAR. JUST ONE FOOT OF FLOWING WATER IS POWERFUL
ENOUGH TO SWEEP VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD. WHEN ENCOUNTERING FLOODED
ROADS MAKE THE SMART CHOICE...TURN AROUND...DONT DROWN.

PLEASE REPORT FLOODING TO THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BY EMAIL AT
ALB.STORMREPORT@NOAA.GOV.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
342 PM EDT TUE JUN 30 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG UPPER LEVEL LOW NEAR THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES REGION WILL
KEEP THE WEATHER UNSETTLED THROUGH MOST OF THE WORK WEEK. THIS SLOW
MOVING CUTOFF LOW WILL PRODUCE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE
NEXT FEW DAYS...AS DISTURBANCES ROTATE AROUND THE UPPER LOW.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
WITH THE ONGOING EVENT...FLASH FLOOD WATCH ISSUED FOR
ADIRONDACKS...LAKE GEORGE AND SARATOGA REGIONS. TRAINING OF
CONVECTIVE LINES CAUSING URBAN AND SMALL STREAM FLOODING...AND
SOME LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING. STRONG CONVECTION SHOULD ROTATE OUT
OF THE CATSKILLS AND MID HUDSON VALLEY...SO OTHER THAN SOME URBAN
AND SMALL STREAM ISSUES DOWN THERE...BEST FLASH FLOOD POTENTIAL
SEEMS TO BE UP NORTH WHERE CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK INTO
THIS EVENING.

OUR ALY 18Z SOUNDING OFFERED NO SURPRISES...WITH @1500 CAPES...BUT
RECALCULATED VIL OF DAY JUST A LITTLE HIGHER THAN SUGGESTED IN 12Z
SOUNDING...SO MID/UPPER 40S VILS SEEM TO SUPPORT 3/4 HAIL. LCLS
HIGH...SO EVEN THOUGH WE AND OTHER SURROUNDING AREAS ARE SEEING
SOME ROTATION IN STORMS...TORNADO POTENTIAL SEEMS MINIMAL...BUT
STILL...WEAK SPIN UPS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION.

CONVECTION WILL WEAKEN AROUND OR JUST AFTER SUNSET...BUT SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT. SOME
BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS BETWEEN THE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS DUE
TO THE NATURE OF THE UPPER LOW...AND NIGHTTIME DIURNAL SUBSIDENCE.
LOWS IN THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER/MID 60S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY/...
TOMORROW...THERE IS A DECENT CONSENSUS FROM GUIDANCE OF SIMILAR
CONDITIONS TO TODAY...EXCEPT CLOUD COVER SHOULD BE MORE WIDESPREAD
IN THE MORNING...SUPPRESSING HIGH TEMPERATURES A LITTLE BIT MORE
THAN TODAY. AXIS OF INSTABILITY AND LOW LEVEL THETA-E A LITTLE
FURTHER EAST...BUT CONTINUED GRADUAL COOLING ALOFT AND AT LEAST
SOME INSTABILITY OVER THE REGION WILL SUPPORT CONVECTION FROM OUR
REGION AND POINTS EAST. AGAIN...SIMILAR TO TODAY...BUT A LITTLE
LESS INSTABILITY...AND DISPLACED A LITTLE FURTHER EAST. SPC
SUGGESTS SOME POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE STORMS AGAIN...SO STAY TUNED.
THIS STILL PUTS OUR ENTIRE AREA IN THE LIKELY SHOWERS AND STRONG
THUNDERSTORMS FOR TOMORROW MIDDAY INTO THE EVENING. HIGHS IN THE
70S...SOME 60S IN HIGHER TERRAIN.

AREAL EXTENT OF SHOWERS AND STORMS SHRINKS AGAIN TOMORROW
NIGHT...THEN A MORE ORGANIZED UPPER IMPULSE IS TIMED TO BEGIN
AFFECTING OUR REGION THROUGH THE DAY THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY
NIGHT...WITH MORE WIDESPREAD CLOUD COVER...AND MORE
SHOWERS...PERHAPS LESS CONVECTION...BUT STILL WORDING SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS IN FORECAST. WORDING HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL TONIGHT
THROUGH THURSDAY...WITH WORDING SMALL HAIL AND GUSTY WINDS DURING
AFTERNOONS. HIGHS THURSDAY IN THE 60S TO LOWER/MID 70S...LOWS
THURSDAY NIGHT IN THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER/MID 60S.

UPPER LOW AND MEAN UPPER TROUGH AXIS TIMED TO EXIT EAST OF OUR
REGION THROUGH THE DAY FRIDAY...AND WESTERLY MEAN WIND FLOW
SPREADS ACROSS THE REGION. FLAT SHORT WAVE UPPER RIDGING ALSO
BUILDS INTO THE REGION...SUGGESTING THAT SOME CLEARING SHOULD TAKE
PLACE. STILL SOME SCATTERED SHOWER ACTIVITY POSSIBLE WITH HIGHS IN
THE 70S.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
POPULATED WITH MOS GUIDANCE.  VERTICALLY STACKED LOW PRESSURE WILL
BECOME LARGELY CUT OFF DURING THE PERIOD...WITH VERY LIMITED
EASTWARD PROGRESSION.  FRIDAY...THE LOW IS OVER SOUTHERN QUEBEC...
AND BY TUESDAY HAS MADE IT ONLY TO EASTERN NOVA SCOTIA.  CHC POPS
WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH IN AREA THROUGH THE PERIOD.  BY MONDAY...
SLGT CHC POPS PREVAIL...AND BY TUE...ONLY PART OF THE WESTERN
ADIRONDACKS WILL STILL BE FOUND WITH CHC POPS.  AT LAST...BY TUE...
IT LOOKS AS THOUGH HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN SETTLING IN
FROM THE WEST.

GRADUALLY INCREASING SUNSHINE AS THE LOW HEADS OFF WILL RESULT IN
INCREASING INSTABILITY.  FROM SATURDAY ON...TSRA IS A POSSIBILITY...
AND HAVE ACCOUNTED FOR THIS IN THE GRIDS.  BASED ON SURFACE LIS...
SATURDAY LOOKS LIKE THE BEST OPPORTUNITY FOR THIS.  HOWEVER...CAPES
ARE SOMEWHAT DEFICIENT FROM THE SURFACE ON UP.

MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND ANY SHOWER ACTIVITY SHOULD KEEP DAYTIME HIGH
TEMPERATURES AT BAY COME SUNDAY.  BUT WITH THE INCREASING
SUNSHINE...THESE TEMPS SHOULD REBOUND NICELY BY TUESDAY...WITH HIGHS
MOSTLY IN THE 70 TO 80 DEGREE RANGE...THE WARMEST LEVELS OF THE
LONG-TERM.  CAPPED INVERSIONS IN OUR STILL-STAGNANT ATMOSPHERE
DURING THE OVERNIGHTS MIGHT LIMIT THE DEGREE OF TEMPERATURE FALL...
SO LOWS WILL AVERAGE ONLY A LITTLE BELOW NORMAL.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
UPPER LOW OVER THE GREAT LAKES WILL CAUSE SOME AVIATION PROBLEMS
STARTING THIS AFTERNOON.

VFR FLIGHT CONDITIONS WERE PREVAILING ACROSS THE AREA LATE THIS
MORNING BUT THE AIR WAS BECOMING INCREASINGLY UNSTABLE WHICH WILL
LEAD TO CLOUDS AND CONVECTION. THERE WILL BE AREAS OF MVFR CEILINGS
AND VISIBILITY IN THE STORMS WITH POSSIBLE HAIL AND STRONG WINDS.
THE STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO MATERIALIZE IN THE HUDSON VALLEY STARTING
AROUND 1700 GMT AND THEY WILL CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING. AREAS OF
IFR MAY BE EMBEDDED IN THE SHOWERS.

CONVECTION WILL TAPER OFF THIS EVENING...BUT RESIDUAL MOISTURE IS
LIKELY TO RESULT IN MVFR VISIBILITIES TONIGHT UNTIL SHORTLY AFTER
DAYBREAK WEDNESDAY IN THE HUDSON VALLEY DUE TO FOG. THE FOG MAY
BECOME DENSE ENOUGH AT KPOU TO RESULT IN IFR AND AT KGFL VISIBILITY
MAY EVEN DROP TO LIFR AT TIMES.

WINDS WILL BE SOUTHERLY 5 TO 10 KNOTS THIS AFTERNOON...GUSTING
TO AROUND 14 KNOTS...WITH HIGHER GUSTS POSSIBLE IN SOME OF THE
THUNDERSTORMS. WINDS WILL DIMINISH TO LESS THAN 5 KNOTS THIS
EVENING AND WILL BE NEAR CALM TONIGHT...THEN SOUTHEAST AROUND
10 KNOTS WEDNESDAY.

OUTLOOK...
WED-SAT...VFR/MVFR...SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS MAINLY AFTN SHRA/TSRA
AND SOME EARLY MORNING BR.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
A SLOW MOVING UPPER LOW WILL KEEP THE THREAT OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE REGION FOR MOST OF THE WORK WEEK. THE
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL TEND TO BE MORE NUMEROUS DURING
THE AFTERNOONS INTO THE EARLY EVENINGS.

THE RH VALUES WILL RECOVER TO 85 TO 100 PERCENT TONIGHT. EXPECT
THE RH VALUES TO REMAIN RELATIVELY HIGH IN THE MOIST AIR MASS
TOMORROW AFTERNOON WITH MINIMUM VALUES OF 65 TO 80 PERCENT. RH
VALUES WILL RECOVER TO NEAR 100 PERCENT TOMORROW NIGHT AND DROP
BACK TO 60 TO 90 PERCENT THURSDAY.

THE WINDS WILL BE FROM THE SOUTH OR SOUTHEAST TODAY AT AROUND 10
MPH...THEN WILL BECOME LIGHT AT 5 MPH OR LESS TOMORROW NIGHT. THE
WINDS WILL BE SOUTH AT 5 TO 10 MPH ON WEDNESDAY.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
A FLASH FLOOD WATCH WAS ISSUED FOR THE ADIRONDACKS...LAKE GEORGE
AND SARATOGA REGIONS.

BANDS OF STRONG THUNDERSTORMS ASSOCIATED WITH AN APPROACHING
UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE....ARE AFFECTING AREAS FROM THE SCHOHARIE
VALLEY THROUGH THE WESTERN MOHAWK VALLEY AND ADIRONDACKS...AND
WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THIS EVENING. SOME AREAS HAVE RECEIVED OVER
1 INCH OF RAIN...WITH VERY LOCALIZED AMOUNTS OVER 2 INCHES. AS
MULTIPLE LINES AND CLUSTERS OF THUNDERSTORMS TRACK INTO THE
ADIRONDACKS THE REST OF THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO THIS EVENING...AN
ADDITIONAL 1 TO 3 INCHES OF RAIN COULD FALL LOCALLY. SOME
LOCALIZED STORM TOTALS OF 4 TO 5 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY
IN AREAS OF HIGHER TERRAIN.

THE RAINFALL COULD LEAD TO SOME MINOR RISES ON
RIVERS/STREAMS...AND COULD ALSO CREATE PONDING OF WATER IN LOW
LYING...POOR DRAINAGE/URBAN AREAS...ESPECIALLY SHOULD ANY HEAVIER
RAINFALL PERSIST OVER A PARTICULAR AREA. WE WILL HAVE TO MONITOR
FOR TRAINING THUNDERSTORMS OR LOCAL OROGRAPHIC ENHANCEMENT IN THE
SOUTHERLY FLOW TUE AND WED. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES WILL
GENERALLY BE IN THE 1-1.5 INCH RANGE FOR THE MID WEEK. SOME HOURLY
RAINFALL RATES COULD BE AROUND A HALF AN INCH AN HOUR.

OVERALL...THE MAIN STEM RIVERS SHOULD BE FINE DUE TO HIGH ZONE
FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE VALUES.  HOWEVER...ANY TRAINING CONVECTIVE
ELEMENTS MOVING REPEATEDLY OVER SATURATED GROUND COULD LEAD TO
SOME ISOLATED SMALL STREAM FLOODING.

AND FORECAST RIVER STAGES AND LAKE ELEVATIONS...PLEASE VISIT THE
ADVANCED HYDROLOGIC PREDICTION SERVICE /AHPS/ GRAPHS ON OUR WEBSITE.
