RAIN HAS FALLEN ACROSS EASTERN GREENE AND COLUMBIA COUNTIES...WITH 
THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS OVER NORTHWESTERN COLUMBIA COUNTY. THE STEADY

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
241 PM EDT WED JUL 29 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL REMAIN ANCHORED ACROSS THE
GREAT LAKES MUCH OF THIS WEEK. A SOUTHWEST FLOW ON THE EASTERN SIDE
OF THIS TROUGH WILL KEEP WARM AND HUMID CONDITIONS ACROSS THE
REGION. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BECOME WIDESPREAD THROUGH
THE EVENING LOW PRESSURE AND A COLD FRONT MOVE ACROSS OUR REGION FROM
THE WEST...AND AGAIN FRIDAY AFTERNOON INTO FRIDAY NIGHT AS ANOTHER
WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS THE REGION.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 634 HAS BEEN ISSUED THROUGH 800 PM. BIG
STORMS DEVELOPED IN EASTERN PA...AND ARE MOVING TOWARD PARTS OF
THE CATSKILLS AND MID HUDSON VALLEY. ATMOSPHERE IN NORTHERN PART
OF THE WATCH NOT AS UNSTABLE...BUT ATMOSPHERE STILL
MODIFYING...AND 18Z SOUNDING WILL BE AVAILABLE THIS AFTERNOON.
AREA OF RAIN HAS A MORE STRATI FORM WITH EMBEDDED CONVECTIVE CELLS
LOOK ON THE NORTHERN EDGE...BUT AGAIN...SOME CONVECTION COULD FORM
ON THE LEADING EDGE...SO WILL WATCH IT CLOSELY. FLASH FLOOD THREAT
ALSO CONTINUES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
WE WILL STILL BE DEALING WITH THE LOW PRESSURE AREA AND ITS
ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT...THIS EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT. IT WILL
SLOWLY TRAVERSE EASTWARD. ANY SEVERE ISSUES WILL WANE AS WE
LOOSE THE HEATING OF THE DAY. HOWEVER...GOOD LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE
AND THE POTENTIAL FOR TRAINING CELLS WILL CONTINUE. PWAT VALUES
ACTUALLY ARE FORECAST TO RISE OVER 2 INCHES ABOVE NORMAL THIS
EVENING...TWO STANDARDS DEVIATIONS ABOVE NORMAL.

AS THE FRONT MOVES TO THE EAST OF THE HUDSON VALLEY
OVERNIGHT...SHOWERS AND ANY THUNDERSTORMS WILL BECOME MORE
SCATTERED FROM WEST TO EAST...BUT STILL CAPABLE OF LAYING DOWN
HEAVY DOWNPOURS.

SLIGHTLY DRIER AIR COURTESY OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING TO OUR
WEST...WILL BRING A BRIEF RESPITE LATER ON THURSDAY. WE STILL
CANNOT RULE OUT RESIDUAL SHOWERS OR STORMS EARLY THURSDAY. LATER
IN THE DAY...ANY ISOLATED SHOWERS SHOULD BE CONFINED TO THE HIGHER
TERRAIN TO THE EAST OF ALBANY...AS A WESTERLY FLOW SHOULD MIX OUT
DRIER AIR AND INHIBIT SHOWER ACTIVITY...EXCEPT TO THE UPSLOPE
EAST OF ALBANY.

QUITE THURSDAY NIGHT WITH PERHAPS SOME PATCHY FOG. HOWEVER...IT IS
STILL TOO EARLY INCLUDE IN THE GRIDS...PENDING HOW MUCH RAIN
REALLY FALLS PRIOR TO THURSDAY NIGHT.

ON FRIDAY...THE NEXT SURFACE TROUGH AND LOW PRESSURE WILL BE
HEADING OUR WAY TO LIKELY BRING YET ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND
STORMS TO OUR REGION. INSTABILITY LOOKS BE FROM ALBANY SOUTH AND
EAST BUT FOR NOW WILL MENTION THUNDERSTORMS EVERYWHERE. THERE IS A
POTENTIAL FOR MORE HEAVY RAIN WITH THESE STORMS. SHOWERS AND
STORMS COULD LINGER INTO FRIDAY NIGHT.

GENERALLY SAW NO REASON TO SIGNIFICANTLY TWEAK MAV/MET BLEND
TEMPERATURES THROUGHOUT THIS PERIOD. LEANED WITH THE WARMER MAV
GUIDANCE TONIGHT...BUT WENT WITH SLIGHTLY COOLER MET TEMPS ON
THURSDAY DUE TO 850 HPA TEMPS IN THE 13-15C RANGE ALONG WITH WEAK
COLD AIR ADVECTION.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
SAT STILL LOOKS TO BE THE BETTER WEEKEND DAY WITH HIGH PRESSURE
BRIEFLY BUILDING IN AND BRINGING SLIGHT RELIEF TO THE HUMIDITY
LEVELS AND REDUCING THE SHOWER THREAT AT LEAST FOR ONE DAY. WITH A
GOOD DEAL OF SUNSHINE AND 850 HPA TEMPERATURES BETWEEN
13-15C...LOOK FOR HIGH TEMPERATURES WITHIN A FEW DEGREES OF
80...SLIGHTLY HIGHER MID HUDSON VALLEY...AND SLIGHTLY COOLER
ACROSS THE ELEVATED TERRAIN.

THEN...HIGH PRESSURE QUICKLY RETREATS OFFSHORE...ALLOWING THE NEXT
COLD FRONT/SURFACE TROUGH TO APPROACH SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. DRIER
WEATHER LOOKS TO RETURN BY TUESDAY.

TEMPERATURES LOOK TO CONTINUE TO TREND NEAR SEASONABLE LEVELS THROUGHOUT
THE PERIOD WITH PRECIPITATION OVERALL CONTINUING TO BE ABOVE
NORMAL.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP...AND
WILL BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
CURRENT HAZY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE...AND MVFR VISIBILITIES AND
CEILINGS WILL BE FURTHER RESTRICTED BY THE SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS...AT SOME TIMES TO IFR. SHOWERS WILL BECOME MORE
SCATTERED AFTER 04-06Z...BUT CLOUDS AND FOG WILL
PERSIST...CONTINUING THE MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE NIGHT AND
INTO TOMORROW MORNING.

SOUTH WINDS WILL CONTINUE AT AROUND 10 KT...GUSTING NEAR 20 KT AT
TIMES AT ALB. WINDS COULD GUST UP TO 35 KT IN THUNDERSTORMS AT ALB
AND POU. ONCE SHOWERS BECOME MORE SCATTERED TONIGHT...SOUTH WINDS
WILL DIMINISH TO 5 KT OR LESS...AND SHIFT TO WEST AND NORTHWEST BY
12Z.

OUTLOOK...
THU...MVFR/IFR EARLY BCMG VFR...SLGT CHC SHRA/TSRA.
FRI...VFR/MVFR...CIG/VIS...CHC SHRA/TSRA.
SAT...VFR...NO SIG WX.
SUN...VFR/MVFR...CIG/VIS...CHC SHRA/TSRA.
MON...VFR...NO SIG WX.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
WE EXPECT AN AVERAGE OF AN INCH OR MORE OF RAINFALL THROUGH
TONIGHT...WITH SOME LOCALITIES RECEIVING MORE THAN THAT. RH VALUES
WILL BE NEAR 100 PERCENT OVERNIGHT.

SOME DRYING TAKES PLACE ON THURSDAY...ESPECIALLY IF WE DO PICK UP
A NW BREEZE. RIGHT NOW WE THINK A 5-15 MPH NW BREEZE. RH VALUES
ARE PROJECTED TO DROP TO BETWEEN 50-60 PERCENT ON THURSDAY
AFTERNOON...BACK UP TO NEAR 100 PERCENT OVERNIGHT THURSDAY AS THE
WIND BECOME LIGHT...CLOSER TO 75 PERCENT ON FRIDAY WITH A SOUTH
WIND 10-15 MPH. BY FRIDAY IT APPEARS THAT MORE SHOWERS AND STORMS
WILL BE FIRING UP ONCE AGAIN.

WE DID NOT ISSUE A WET FLAG ON OUR NFDRS FOR TOMORROW SINCE
MOST...IF NOT ALL OF THE RAIN...WILL BE HISTORY SHORTLY AFTER
SUNRISE THURSDAY.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
THERE CONTINUES TO BE TWO PERIODS OF CONCERN...THE FIRST BEING
THROUGH TONIGHT AND THE SECOND BEING FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY EVENING.

WE DID TRIM BACK OVERALL RIVER BASIN FORECASTS A TAD...STILL
LOOKING AT A GENERAL 1-2 INCH RAINFALL THROUGH TONIGHT.
HOWEVER...TRAINING THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY PRODUCE 3-4 INCHES IN
A FEW LOCALITIES. WE CONTINUED THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH THROUGH
TONIGHT.

THIS RAINFALL WILL LIKELY ONLY PRODUCE MINOR RISES ON MOST STREAMS
AND RIVERS. HOWEVER...LEVELS ON THE HOUSATONIC STILL LOOK TO
APPROACH BANKFULL RANGES...AND ARE FORECASTING TO THE ALERT LEVEL AT
FALLS VILLAGE.

OBVIOUSLY...IF THUNDERSTORMS WITH HEAVY RAIN...WERE TO TRAIN OVER
CRUCIAL HEADWATERS...ANY RIVER COULD RISE MORE THAN WE HAVE
FORECASTED.

THIS BATCH OF HEAVY RAIN WILL EXIT ON THURSDAY. A MAINLY DRY
PERIOD IS EXPECTED LATER ON THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY.

HOWEVER...A SECOND ROUND OF SHOWERS AND STORMS COULD PRODUCE YET
ANOTHER 1-2 INCHES OF AVERAGE BASIN RAINFALL WITH LOCALLY HIGHER
AMOUNTS POSSIBLE ON FRIDAY. HOPEFULLY...THERE WILL BE ENOUGH TIME
FOR RIVERS LEVELS TO RECEDE BUT THE SCENARIO WILL BECOME MORE
CLEAR AFTER WE GET THROUGH THIS FIRST EVENT.

OBSERVED AND FORECAST RIVER STAGES AND LAKE ELEVATIONS...PLEASE
