AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
640 PM EDT FRI JUN 24 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS QUEBEC TONIGHT...REACHING THE
CANADIAN MARITIMES ON SATURDAY. OUR WEATHER WILL REMAIN UNSETTLED
WITH THE THREAT OF SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH SATURDAY
EVENING. HIGH PRESSURE AND DRIER AIR WILL FINALLY MOVE IN FOR SUNDAY
AND MONDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY/...
AS OF 630 PM...COVERAGE OF SHOWERS/TSTMS EVEN GREATER NOW ACROSS THE
WESTERN MOHAWK VALLEY AND THE WESTERN ADIRONDACKS...SO HAVE RAISED
THE POPS THERE FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS THIS EVENING TO CATEGORICAL...
AND LOWERED POPS OVER THE EASTERN ZONES TO CHANCE LEVELS FOR ANOTHER
COUPLE OF HOURS. TEMPS HAVE FALLEN QUICKLY THIS EVENING...EXPECIALLY
ACROSS NEW YORK ZONES...SO HAVE ADJUSTED HOURLY TEMPS ACCORDINGLY TO
ACCOUNT FOR CURRENT OBS/TRENDS.

****PREVIOUS DISCUSSION****
AS OF 445 PM...LOTS OF SHOWERS/TSTMS OVER CENTRAL NY WHICH HAVE
MOVED NORTHEASTWARD INTO THE WESTERN PART OF THE ALBANY COUNTY
WARNING AREA (CWA)...BUT THEY WEAKEN AS THEY DO SO AS THEY RUN INTO
THE MORE STABLE AIR OVER THE CWA. THE CELLS HAVE BEEN OVER CENTRAL
NY FOR SEVERAL HOURS NOW...AND SHOW LITTLE SIGN OF BECOMING
SEVERE...SO SEVERE CONVECTION NOW APEARS UNLIKELY FOR THE ALBANY
CWA FOR THIS EVENING.

HAVE FORECAST LIKELY POPS FOR MOST AREAS THROUGH EARLY TONIGHT...
THEN GRADUALLY REDUCE THE POPS LATER TONIGHT TO AROUND 40 PERCENT BY
SUNRISE. LOWS TONIGHT WILL BE IN THE MID 50S TO LOWER 60S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
THE WEATHER ON SATURDAY WILL LIKELY BE A REPEAT OF FRIDAY WITH
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED PCPN TO START THE DAY...BUT SHOWERS BECOMING
MORE NUMEROUS BY AFTERNOON...ALONG WITH SCATTERED THUNDERTORMS. THE
UPPER LEVLE TROF AXIS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SLOW MOVING SYSTEM THAT
HAS BEEN AFFECTING THE REGION SINCE WEDNESDAY...WILL NOT BE CROSSING
THE REGION UNTIL LATE IN THE DAY AND DURING THE EVENING...SO A 40 TO
50 PERCENT POP HAS BEEN FORECAST WELL INTO SATURDAY EVENING AS THIS
TROF MOVES THROUGH. THE MOST NUMEROUS SHOWERS/TSTMS ON SATURDAY AND
SATURDAY EVENING WILL LIKELY BE OVER THE EASTERN AND NORTHEASTERN
PART OF THE FORECAST AREA. AFTER THE TROF AXIS MOVES TO THE
EAST...THE SHOWERS WILL FINALLY BEGIN TO DIMINISH LATE SATURDAY
NIGHT. WHICH WILL LEAD TO A RELATIVELY DRY DAY ON SUNDAY. ALTHOUGH
THE UPPER LEVEL TROF WILL FINALLY BE TO THE EAST AND HIGH PRESSURE
WILL BE BUILDING IN...AN ISOLATED SHOWER CANNOT BE RULED OUT ON
SUNDAY AS A LAGGING SURFACE TROF AND A SHALLOW POOL OF MOISTURE ARE
FORECAST TO MOVE THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON. FOR NOW HAVE ONLY
FORECAST A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN AREAS
SUNDAY AFTERNOON. HIGH PRESSURE AND DRY AIR WILL TAKE HOLD FOR
SUNDAY NIGHT.

HIGHS SATURDAY WILL BE IN THE UPPER 60S AND 70S. LOWS SATURDAY NIGHT
IN THE 50S. HIGHS SUNDAY IN THE 70S...AND LOWS SUNDAY NIGHT IN THE
UPPER 40S AND 50S.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
MOS GUIDANCE.  THE WORK WEEK STARTS OFF HIGH AND DRY...BUT A SYSTEM
APPROACHING FROM THE WEST WILL BRING A GOOD CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TUESDAY...AND POSSIBLY ALSO WEDNESDAY DEPENDING UPON
THE TIMING OF THE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE.  ONCE THE FRONT PASSES
THROUGH...HIGH PRESSURE WILL SETTLE IN AGAIN...AND THE BALANCE OF
THE WORK WEEK WILL BE DRY.

HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE FROM THE UPPER 70S TO MID 80S MONDAY AND
TUESDAY...WITH SOMEWHAT COOLER READINGS IN THE NORTH AND MOUNTAINS
FOR THE BALANCE OF THE WEEK.  LOWS WILL BE MOSTLY FROM THE MID 50S
TO MID 60S MONDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHTS...WITH SOME MID TO UPPER 40S
SHOWING UP IN THE MOUNTAINS WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT.  NORMAL
HIGHS AT ALBANY IN VERY LATE JUNE ARE IN THE LOWER 80S...AND LOWS
ARE IN THE UPPER 50S.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
MVFR CIGS HAVE HUNG TOUGH ACROSS THE HUDSON VALLEY TAF SITES SO FAR
TODAY...BUT WOULD EXPECT SKIES TO FINALLY GO VFR BY MID AFTN DUE TO
APPROACHING BREAKS ON THE VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGE. THEREAFTER...SOME
SCT -SHRA MAY AFFECT THE REGION FOR THE LATE AFTN/EVENING HOURS.
WILL INCLUDE THE CB APPENDAGE DUE TO A SLIGHT THREAT OF
THUNDER...BUT DO NOT HAVE THE CONFIDENCE IN THE TIMING OR EXTENT OF
THUNDER TO INCLUDE A TSRA OR VCTS AT THIS TIME.

AFTER SUNSET...LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL ALLOW FOR MVFR CIGS TO
RETURN. CANNOT TOTALLY RULE OUT IFR CONDITIONS LATE TONIGHT AS
WELL...ALTHOUGH THIS MAY DEPEND ON JUST HOW MANY SHRA/TSRA OCCUR AT
THE TAF SITES THIS AFTN/EVE. FOR NOW...WILL DROP CIGS TO MVFR AND
ADDRESS AT THE NEXT TAF ISSUANCE. WILL ALSO KEEP THE VCSH AS THERE
MAY AN ADDITIONAL SHOWER OR TWO OVERNIGHT WITH THE APPROACHING UPPER
TROUGH.

WINDS WILL BECOME EAST-SOUTHEAST TO SOUTH AT ALL TERMINALS THIS
AFTN. THERE MAY BE A FEW GUSTS UP THE HUDSON VALLEY AT KALB
APPROACHING 20 KTS. WINDS WILL DIE OFF THIS EVENING WITH THIS LOSS
OF HEATING...BUT WILL PICK UP SOMEWHAT AGAIN ON SATURDAY BY AFTN.
