AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
135 PM EDT SUN AUG 28 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
TROPICAL STORM IRENE...WHICH HAS MOVED OVER NEW YORK CITY... WILL
IMPACT THE REGION TODAY WITH HEAVY RAIN AND STRONG WIND AS IT MOVES
TO THE EAST OF HUDSON VALLEY THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON. IRENE WILL
CONTINUE TO WEAKEN AND EXIT THE AREA EARLY TONIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE
WILL BUILD FROM THE MIDWEST TO THE EASTERN SEABOARD AND CONTROL OUR
WEATHER FOR MUCH OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 1130 AM...THE CENTER OF TROPICAL STORM IRENE OVER THE LOWER
HUDSON VALLEY INTO LITCHFIELD COUNTY HEADING NORTH-NORTHEAST AT
23 KNOTS AND WILL MOVE OVER OUR WESTERN NEW ENGLAND COUNTIES THIS
AFTERNOON. HEAVY RAINFALL HAS MOVED OUT OF LITCHFIELD COUNTY WITH
HEAVIEST RAINFALL OCCURRING IN THE MID HUDSON VALLEY OVER THE
HUDSON RIVER. ADJUSTED POPS LOWERING THEM SOUTH TO NORTH AS IRENE
HEADS NORTHWARD WITH RAIN EXPECTED TO BE COMPLETELY OUT OF HERE BY
MID TO LATE EVENING. TORRENTIAL RAIN WILL CONTINUE WITH THE
HEAVIEST JUST TO THE NORTHWEST OF OF THE CENTER OF IRENE.
WIDESPREAD SIGNIFICANT FLOODING IS OCCURRING ESPECIALLY IN
GREENE...LITCHFIELD AND BERKSHIRE COUNTIES AND SOUTHERN VERMONT.
SUSTAINED WINDS OF 25 TO 35 MPH OCCURRING WITH GUSTS UP TO 55 MPH.

AS OF 1000 AM...IRENE HAS DOWNGRADED TO A TROPICAL STORM AS IT
MADE LANDFALL INTO NEW YORK CITY. HOWEVER...IT STILL CONTINUES TO
SERIOUSLY IMPACT OUR ENTIRE REGION WITH MASSIVE FLOODING...WIND
DAMAGE AND INCREASING POWER OUTAGES.

THE RAY OF HOPE IS THAT THIS STORM WAS MOVING FASTER THAN ANY
CURRENT MODEL WAS DEPICTING...MOVING NNE UP TO 25 MPH. ALSO OF
NOTE...A DRY SLOT WAS WORKING SOUTHEAST FROM NEW YORK
CITY...NORTHWEST. WHILE THIS DRY SLOT WILL NOT SHUT THE RAIN
DOWN...IT APPEARS THAT THE INTENSITY OF RAINFALL WILL SUBSTANTIALLY
DIMINISH. HOWEVER...IT WILL TAKE A COUPLE OF HOURS TO REACH INTO OUR
SOUTHERN ZONES...AND PROBABLY NOT REACH THE CAPITAL DISTRICT AND
POINTS NORTHWEST UNTIL EARLY THIS AFTERNOON.

THE WORST WINDS APPARENTLY FOR THE MOST PART OF HAVE BEEN RIGHT IN
THE CAPITAL DISTRICT...WITH GUSTS WITH 51 MPH AT ALBANY
INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. WE BELIEVE THE WINDS ARE PRETTY MUCH PEAKING
AT THIS TIME...BUT WILL CONTINUE WITH STRONG GUSTS INTO THE
AFTERNOON WITH SOME SPOTS CAPABLE OF APPROACHING 60 MPH!

RAINFALL AMOUNTS HAVE BEEN PROLIFIC...WITH SOME AREAS IN THE
CATSKILLS REPORTING UPWARDS OF 10 INCHES...AND SEVERAL MORE INCHES
EXPECTED TO FALL BEFORE THE RAIN INTENSITY DIMINISHED.

TEMPERATURES ARE IN THE 60S AND WILL REMAIN THERE MUCH OF THE DAY.
THE BAROMETRIC PRESSURE CONTINUES TO DROP...AND WE MIGHT SET THE
LOWEST BAROMETER READING EVER IN AUGUST LATER TODAY.

WE WILL BE UPDATING THE GRIDS AS WE SEE A NEED TO AND ISSUING A FULL
UPDATE PACKAGE WHEN THE NEXT TROPICAL STORM ADVISORY COMES OUT.

*******PREVIOUS NEAR TERM DISCUSSION***********
AS OF 730 AM...WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAIN AND STRONG WINDS WERE OVER MOST
OF THE FORECAST AREA. ALY FORECAST OFFICE ANEMOMETER HAS ALREADY
GUSTED TO 45 MPH. IT NOW APPEARS THAT WIND SPEEDS ASSOCIATED WITH
HURRICANE IRENE WILL PEAK THIS MORNING (PEAK WIND GUSTS OF 50 TO 65
MPH)...AND REMAIN STRONG THROUGH MOST OF THE AFTERNOON. HEAVY RAIN
HAS ALREADY PRODUCED REPORTS OF 5 TO 6 INCHES OF RAIN OVER THE
SOUTHERN PART OF THE FORECAST AREA...WITH ANOTHER 2 TO 4 INCHES
LIKELY. RAINFALL RATES WILL LIKELY BEGIN TO DECREASE FROM SOUTH TO
NORTH DURING THE AFTERNOON.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
IRENE EXITS THE REGION EARLY TONIGHT...WITH DRY POPS FORECAST AFTER
06Z. WINDS WILL REMAIN STRONG THROUGH ABOUT MIDNIGHT...ESPECIALLY
ACROSS NORTHERN AREAS...THEN SUBSIDE TO 10 TO 20 MPH BY SUNRISE.
LOWS TONIGHT WILL BE IN THE UPPER 40S TO MID 50S AS COOLER AIR POURS
INTO THE REGION.

MOSTLY SUNNY AND DECENT ON MONDAY WITH NORTHWEST TO WEST WINDS ONLY
5 TO 15 MPH AND HIGHS IN THE UPPER 60S AND 70S.

MAINLY CLEAR AND EVEN COOLER MONDAY NIGHT WITH LOWS IN THE MID 40S
TO LOWER 50S.

A WEAK TROF MOVING ACROSS THE NORTHERN PART OF THE FORECAST AREA
WILL PRODUCE PARTLY SUNNY SKIES WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE OF
SHOWERS/TSTMS OVER THE ADIRONDACK ZONES. ELSEWHERE MOSTLY TO PARTLY
SUNNY SKIES WITH HIGHS IN THE 70S TO AROUND 80.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
DUE TO WORKLOAD ASSOCIATED WITH HURRICANE IRENE. HAVE NOT MADE ANY
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE PREVIOUS LONG TERM FORECAST.

****PREVIOUS DISCUSSION***
HIGH PRESSURE IN THE WAKE OF IRENE WILL PROVIDE FOR FAIR WEATHER FOR
THE ENTIRE REGION FOR THE ENTIRE WORK WEEK.  A WEAK COLD FRONT
BEARING DOWN ON THE NORTHEASTERN U.S. FROM CANADA MAY KICK OFF A
CHANCE OF SHOWERS ACROSS NORTHERN ZONES AT THE START OF THE
WEEKEND...POSSIBLY ACCOMPANIED BY THUNDER.  TEMPERATURES WILL BE
QUITE SEASONABLE WITH HIGHS MOSTLY IN THE 70S TO AROUND 80 DEGREES.
LOWS WILL BE MOSTLY FROM THE MID 40S TO UPPER 50S.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
IRENE STILL IMPACTING THE TAFS...AS THE EYEWALL IS ACTUALLY NEAR
KALB AND KGFL. EVENTUALLY SHE WILL EASE HER GRIP. AS OF 130 PM...THE
CENTER OF NOW DOWNGRADED TROPICAL STORM IRENE WAS CENTERED NEAR
LITCHFIELD MOVING NORTHEAST AND WEAKENING FURTHER. HOWEVER...THIS
WAS A LARGE POWERFUL STORM SO IT WILL TAKE UNTIL LATER TONIGHT UNTIL
WE ARE FINALLY OUT OF ITS GRIP.

THE WINDS WITH THE STORM HAVE PEAKED. KENX VAD PROFILES INDICATED
THAT EARLIER...50 KTS WINDS WERE SEEN AS LOW AS 3000 FEET. NOW...THE
WINDS AT THAT LEVEL WERE 35 KTS. SO WE NO LONGER BELIEVE THE TAF
SITES WILL BE SUBJECTED TO 50 KT WINDS. WE ARE PICKING UP SOME
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY ASSOCIATED WITH THE EYEWALL OF THE STORM BUT
THIS WILL BE SHIFTING NORTH IN THE NEXT HOUR OR SO. FOR NOW...JUST
INCLUDE A CB.

CONDITIONS WILL SLOWLY IMPROVE FROM IFR TO MVFR...ALONG WITH SLOWLY
SLACKENING WINDS THROUGH THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON. THE IMPROVEMENT
IN WIND HAS ALREADY BEEN NOTED AT KPOU...BUT THEY ACTUALLY HAVE THE
LOWEST CIGS.

THESE LOWER CIGS MIGHT LIFT NORTHWARD AS DRY SLOT CLEARS OUT MID
LEVELS...BUT ALLOWS FOR POOLING OF MOISTURE AT THE LOWER LEVELS.

SATELLITE PICTURES SHOW GENUINE CLEARING FROM OUR NATION/S CAPITAL
SOUTHWARD. THIS CLEARING LOOKS TO MOVE INTO OUR REGION WELL AFTER
SUNDOWN AS WELL AS EVEN LIGHTER WIND.

DID NOT INCLUDE ANY FOG IN THE TAFS TONIGHT DESPITE SATURATED
GROUND. THINKING IS THE AIR WILL BE VERY "MIXED" IN THE WAKE OF THE
STORM ALONG WITH STILL SOME BREEZE IN ALL PLACES. WE WILL REVISIT
THE FOG POSSIBILITY LATER ON.

A MUCH BETTER DAY ON TAP MONDAY WITH VFR CONDITIONS...UNRESTRICTED
CLOUDS...FEW TO SCATTERED CU DEVELOPING LATER ON...AND THE WIND OUT
OF THE WEST OR NORTHWEST 10 KTS OR LESS.

OUTLOOK...
MON/TUE...VFR. NO SIG WX.
WED/THU/FRI...VFR. SLIGHT CHC MAINLY PM -SHRA.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
EXPECT RH VALUES TO REMAIN IN THE 80 TO 100 PERCENT RANGE TODAY AS
WIDESPREAD RAIN AFFECTS THE REGION. RH VALUES MAY ACTUALLY LOWER
SOMEWHAT TONIGHT AS GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS BRINGS DRIER AIR INTO THE
REGION TONIGHT. EXPECT NORTHERLY SURFACE WINDS TO INCREASE TO 35 TO
50 MPH TODAY WITH GUSTS TO 55 TO 65 MPH. THE WINDS WILL SHIFT TO
NORTHWEST DURING THE AFTERNOON AND THEN DECREASE TONIGHT. DUE TO THE
WIDESPREAD RAIN TODAY...A WET FLAG HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR TODAY.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
REFER TO PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT FOR RAINFALL REPORTS. HIGH
TOTALS HAVE BEEN REPORTED IN GREENE COUNTY SOUTH DURHAM 10.30
