AT 713 PM EDT...NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR CONTINUED TO 
INDICATE THUNDERSTORMS PRODUCING TORRENTIAL RAIN OVER THE WARNED 
AREA. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. AREAS BETWEEN 
ATHENS...SAXTONS RIVER...BELLOWS FALLS AND WESTMINSTER WEST CAN 
EXPECT RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 2 TO 6 INCHES IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. 
IF YOU LIVE IN THIS AREA GET TO HIGHER GROUND AT ONCE.

ARLINGTON

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

ADDITIONAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 1 TO 6 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE IN THE 
WARNED AREA.

EXCESSIVE RUNOFF FROM HEAVY RAINFALL WILL CAUSE FLOODING OF SMALL
CREEKS AND STREAMS...HIGHWAYS AND UNDERPASSES. ADDITIONALLY...COUNTRY
ROADS AND FARMLANDS ALONG THE BANKS OF CREEKS...STREAMS AND OTHER LOW
LYING AREAS ARE SUBJECT TO FLOODING.

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.

DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF FLOOD WATERS. ONLY A FEW INCHES OF
RAPIDLY FLOWING WATER CAN QUICKLY CARRY AWAY YOUR VEHICLE.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
517 PM EDT FRI MAY 20 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A VERTICALLY STACKED LOW PRESSURE CENTER OVER LONG ISLAND WILL
CONTINUE TO DRIFT EASTWARD AND BE SOUTH OF CAPE COD ON SATURDAY
AND...AND WELL OUT TO SEA BY SUNDAY. A THREAT OF AFTERNOON SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL LINGER SATURDAY. AN APPROACHING FRONTAL
SYSTEM WILL BRING A RENEWED THREAT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
STARTING SUNDAY AFTERNOON. THE FRONT IS FORECAST TO STALL OVER THE
REGION WHICH WILL RESULT IN UNSETTLED WEATHER FOR MUCH OF THE
COMING WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OCCURRING ACROSS THE REGION THIS AFTER
NOON WILL DIMINISH THIS EVENING WITH THE LOSS OF SOLAR HEATING.
AN EASTERLY FLOW OF COOL MOIST AIR OFF THE ATLANTIC ALONG WITH
CONVECTION TO THE EAST WILL RESULT IN LOTS OF CLOUDS TONIGHT.
THE SHOWERS SHOULD PRETTY MUCH BE OVER WITH BY MIDNIGHT. THERE
MAY BE SOME LIGHT FOG DUE TO THE LARGE AMOUNT OF LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE...ALTHOUGH LOW STRATUS LOOKS TO BE MORE LIKELY. LOWS
TONIGHT WILL BE IN THE LOW TO MID 50S IN THE VALLEYS WITH SOME
UPPER 40S ACROSS COOLER REGION SUCH AS THE ADIRONDACKS AND
HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE CATSKILLS AND WESTERN NEW ENGLAND.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
SATURDAY WILL START OUT WITH PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES.
THE CLOUDS WILL DIMINISH SOME DURING THE MORNING HOURS BUT
THEN INCREASE DUE TO DIURNAL HEATING...WITH A CHANCE OF SHOWERS
AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE AFTERNOON DUE TO LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY. HIGHS WILL RANGE FROM THE MID 60S
TO NEAR 80. USED THE MAV/MOS WITH A FEW MODIFICATIONS. THE
THREAT OF SHOWERS WILL END AND CLOUDS DIMINISH SOME DURING
THE EVENING HOURS WITH THE LOSS OF SOLAR HEATING.

SATURDAY NIGHT WILL FEATURE PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES WITH DRY
WEATHER. WINDS WILL VEER AROUND TO THE SOUTHEAST. LOWS WILL
RANGE FROM THE UPPER 40S TO THE MID 50S.

SUNDAY WILL START OUT DRY BUT AN APPROACHING WARM FRONT IS
LIKELY TO SPREAD SOME CLOUDINESS AND A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS
INTO THE REGION BY MID DAY. HIGHS WILL BE IN THE 60S AND LOW 70S
WITH SOUTHERLY WINDS 10 TO 15 MPH. THERE WILL BE A HIGHER CHANCE OF
SHOWERS SUNDAY NIGHT AS THE FRONTAL SYSTEM GETS CLOSER. LOWS WILL
MOSTLY BE IN THE LOWER 50S UNDER CLOUDY SKIES.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AN UNSETTLED WEATHER PATTERN WILL CONTINUE INTO MUCH OF THE UPCOMING
WORK WEEK. THE FLOW AT 500 HPA WILL BECOME WEST TO SOUTHWEST AS A
TROUGH AXIS SETS UP ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES AND OHIO VALLEY AND
RIDGING DEVELOPS ACROSS THE WESTERN ATLANTIC. WITH THE SOUTHWEST
FLOW OVER THE AREA...TEMPS WILL BE WARMER THAN THIS WEEK...AS 850
HPA SIT AT AROUND 12-16 DEGREES C FOR MUCH OF THE WEEK. THIS WILL
ALLOW FOR MAX TEMPS TO REACH THE UPPER 70S TO MID 80S FOR MUCH OF
THE WEEK...ALTHOUGH THEY FINALLY MAY DROP A BIT BY FRIDAY AS THE
TROUGH MOVES TOWARDS THE NORTHEAST. WITH THE SOUTHWEST FLOW...NEARBY
UPSTREAM TROUGH...AND A WEAK SFC BOUNDARY SLOWLY MOVING TOWARDS THE
AREA...THE THREAT FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE IN PLACE FOR
THE ENTIRE WEEK...ESP FOR NORTHWESTERN PARTS OF THE CWA. HAVE GONE
WITH CHC POPS FOR MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY FOR SHRA/TSRA...WITH THE
BEST THREAT PROBABLY IN THE DIURNALLY FAVORED AFTN THROUGH EVENING
HOURS. HAVE INCLUDED THUNDER...AS THE GFS FORECASTED SHOWALTER
VALUES ARE NEGATIVE FOR MUCH OF THE WEEK. BOTH THE 12 UTC ECMWF/GFS
SHOW A GOOD AMOUNT OF PRECIP OCCURRING DURING THE WEEK...ESP FOR
NORTHWESTERN AREAS...WITH THE REPEATED ROUNDS OF SHRA/TSRA. WILL
HAVE TO MONITOR MODELSTRENDS OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS FOR NEXT WEEK
FOR THE POTENTIAL FOR ANY HYDRO/FLOODING CONCERNS...ESP IF TRENDS
CONTINUE REGARDING THE CURRENT MODEL FORECASTED QPF.

&&

.AVIATION /21Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL...BUT SOME BRIEF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS COULD PRODUCE SOME BRIEF INTERVALS OF IFR
VISIBILITIES AND MVFR CEILINGS AT KALB AND KGFL. BASED ON RADAR
TRENDS...KPOU SHOULD BE RAIN FREE MUCH OF THE AFTERNOON...BUT
KEEPING VCSH IN CASE SOMETHING DEVELOPS MORE IN LINE WITH
KPOU...AS SOME SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE ALREADY NEAR THE KPOU
VICINITY...BUT NOT TRACKING TOWARD KPOU. COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND
STORMS SHOULD DECREASE WITH TIME THROUGH THE LATE AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. BETWEEN 06Z-12Z...MVFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES SHOULD
DEVELOP WITH ALL THE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND LIGHT WINDS IN THE
REGION. CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES SHOULD IMPROVE TO VFR TOMORROW
MORNING.

WINDS WILL BE LIGHT NORTH AT 5 KT OR LESS THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING...AND NEAR CALM TONIGHT. LIGHT NORTH TO NORTHEAST WINDS AT
LESS THAN 10 KT SHOULD OCCUR TOMORROW MORNING.

OUTLOOK...
SAT...VFR/MVFR. CHC -SHRA/TSRA.
SUN...VFR. NO SIG WX.
MON-WED...VFR/MVFR. CHC -SHRA/TSRA.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DIMINISH TONIGHT WITH A LOSS OF
HEATING FROM THE SUN. RAINFALL AMOUNTS WILL VARY WIDELY AS IS
TYPICAL WITH CONVECTION. HIGH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL LIKELY
RESULT IN LOTS OF LOW STRATUS OR STRATOCU DURING THE NIGHTTIME
HOURS...WITH HUMIDITY VALUES NEAR 100 PERCENT AROUND DAYBREAK.
WINDS WILL BE LIGHT FROM THE NORTH OR NORTHWEST. SKIES WILL BE
PARTLY CLOUDY SATURDAY WITH A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS. MIDDAY HUMIDITY VALUES WILL RANGE
BETWEEN 45 AND 65 PERCENT.  WINDS WILL BE NORTH OR NORTHEAST
6 TO 12 MPH. CLOUDS WILL DIMINISH SOMEWHAT SATURDAY NIGHT AND
AGAIN HUMIDITY VALUES WILL INCREASE TO NEAR 100 PERCENT AFTER
MIDNIGHT. ON SUNDAY...AN APPROACHING FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL BRING
ABOUT ANOTHER CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS STARTING IN
THE AFTERNOON. MIDDAY HUMIDITY VALUES WILL RANGE FROM 45 TO 70
PERCENT...WITH SOUTHERLY WINDS 5 TO 15 MPH. PRECIPITATION
AMOUNTS WILL BE HIGHLY VARIABLE OVER SHORT DISTANCES...WITH
MOST AREAS GETTING LESS THAN A HALF INCH OF RAIN...BUT SOME
SPOTS COULD GET WELL OVER AN INCH.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WERE OCCURRING OVER THE REGION THIS
AFTERNOON. WHILE AVERAGE AMOUNTS OVER LARGER AREAS ARE NOT LIKELY
TO EXCEED A HALF INCH THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR LOCALLY HEAVY
RAINFALL OF WELL OVER AN INCH FROM TRAINING CELLS. THESE CAN
PRODUCE SIGNIFICANT PONDING OF WATER...ESPECIALLY WHERE LARGE
PAVED AREAS SUCH AS SHOPPING AND INDUSTRIAL AREAS SURROUNDED BY
LARGE PARKING LOTS. HEAVY DOWNPOURS WILL ALSO CAUSE SHARP RISES ON
STREAMS. THE SHOWERS WILL HAVE LESS OF AN EFFECT ON LARGER RIVERS.

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DIMINISH THIS EVENING AND THE
THREAT SHOULD BE OVER WITH AROUND MIDNIGHT.

A FLOOD WARNING CONTINUES FOR THE ESOPUS CREEK BELOW THE ASHOKAN
RESERVOIR. ABOUT A FOOT AND A HALF OF WATER WERE SPILLING FROM
ASHOKAN RESERVOIR FROM HEAVY RAINFALL WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THE ESOPUS
WAS STILL ABOVE FLOOD BUT RECEDING AT MOUNT MARION EARLY FRIDAY
AFTERNOON BUT MORE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WERE STREAMING INTO
THE AREA SO ADDITIONAL RAIN MAY CAUSE IT TO LEVEL OFF.

THE MOHAWK RIVER BETWEEN LAKE DELTA AND UTICA WAS RECEDING
AFTER RISING TO NEAR BANKFULL FROM TORRENTIAL RAINS THURSDAY
AFTERNOON. IT WAS STILL RISING AT LITTLE FALLS EARLY FRIDAY
AFTERNOON BUT IS ONLY TWO TO THREE FEET ABOVE NORMAL AND WELL
BELOW FLOOD. THE FLOOD WARNING ISSUED FRIDAY EVENING FOR UTICA
WAS CANCELLED EARLY THIS AFTERNOON.

MORE SHOWERS...AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS...ARE POSSIBLE SATURDAY
...PARTICULARLY DURING THE AFTERNOON...BUT THE AIR WILL BE DRIER
SO FOR THE MOST PART RAINFALL AMOUNTS WILL BE LIGHT. AGAIN...HEAVY
RAINFALL IS POSSIBLE OVER SMALL AREAS...WHICH COULD PRODUCE
LOCALIZED PONDING OF WATER.

SATURDAY NIGHT AND EARLY SUNDAY WILL PROBABLY BE DRY. THERE IS
A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

A FRONTAL SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO APPROACH THE REGION FIRST AS A
WARM FRONT MONDAY. IT IS THEN EXPECTED TO STALL NEAR THE REGION
MONDAY NIGHT OR TUESDAY. THIS WILL AGAIN BRING ABOUT UNSETTLED
WEATHER. IT WILL BE DRY MUCH OF THE TIME BUT THERE WILL BE A
THREAT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...WITH THE GREATEST THREAT
DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS. PRECIPITABLE WATER
AMOUNTS WILL BE HIGH...SO THERE WILL BE A POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY
DOWNPOURS.
