AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
1008 PM EDT WED SEP 7 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO THE SOUTH OF THE REGION WILL
ALLOW FOR SOME ADDITIONAL RAIN AND SHOWERS FOR TONIGHT INTO
TOMORROW...WHICH MAY BE LOCALLY HEAVY THIS EVENING ACROSS WESTERN
PARTS OF THE AREA.  DRIER WEATHER WILL RETURN TO THE REGION BY THE
WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
AS OF 950 PM EDT...THE WARM FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH SFC LOW PRESSURE
OVER THE MID ATLANTIC REGION HAS BECOME STATIONARY SOUTH OF LONG
ISLAND AND SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND WITH SOME SCT SHOWERS FORMING JUST
SOUTH OF LONG ISLAND. THESE SHOWERS WILL SLOWLY LIFT NORTHEAST
INTO THE SRN TWO THIRDS OF THE FCST AREA. WE INCREASED THE POPS TO
LIKELY AND CATEGORICAL VALUES AFTER MIDNIGHT FOR A BRIEF PERIOD.
NORTH AND WEST OF THE CAPITAL REGION A QUASI STATIONARY BAND OF
SHOWERS WITH A FEW EMBEDDED RUMBLES OF THUNDER WILL CONTINUE IN
THIS AREA. SIGNIFICANT RISES ON THE MOHAWK RIVER HAS BEEN
OCCURRING NEAR KAST BRIDGE AND LITTLE FALLS. MINOR TO MAJOR
FLOODING IS EXPECTED. WE EXPECT AN ADDITIONAL HALF INCH TO INCH OF
RAINFALL OVER THE HSA THE REST OF TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW AFTERNOON.
THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL IS ANTICIPATED OVER THE WEST CENTRAL MOHAWK
VALLEY...AND THE SOUTHERN ADIRONDACKS DURING THIS STRETCH. TEMPS
LOOK ON TRACK.

PREVIOUS NEAR TERM...

AS OF 700 PM EDT...THE FOCUS THIS EVENING CONTINUES TO BE ON
FLOODING ACROSS THE ALY FCST AREA. CURRENTLY A CONTINUOUS BAND OF
DEEP MOISTURE AHEAD OF A CUTOFF LOW OVER OHIO /THE OLD REMNANT OF
LEE/...CONTINUES TO FOCUS MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINFALL OVER CNTRL
NY/PA INTO PORTIONS OF E-CNTRL NY. A STATIONARY FRONT EXTENDS
EASTWARD SOUTH OF LONG ISLAND WITH SOME ISOLD-SCT SHOWERS OVER THE
LOWER HUDSON VALLEY AND SRN NEW ENGLAND. WE ARE ADDING A SLIGHT
CHC OF THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE SRN DACKS...WRN-CNTRL MOHAWK
VALLEY...AS A FEW EMBEDDED STORMS HAVE POPPED UP OVER SRN
HERKIMER...AND FULTON COUNTIES. THESE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
ARE FOCUSED BY A STRONG H500 SHORT-WAVE IN THE SOUTHERLY FLOW. WE
RETOOLED THE POPS FOR A GRADUAL TREND TO HIGH CHC AND LIKELY POPS
SHORTLY BEFORE OR AFTER MIDNIGHT. THE CATEGORICAL VALUES REMAIN
OVER THE NW QUADRANT OF THE FCST AREA. HOURLY T/TD/RH TRENDS
RETOOLED BASED ON OBSERVATIONS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
ADDITIONAL SHOWERS WILL BE ONGOING DURING THURSDAY MORNING AS THE
STALLED BOUNDARY REMAINS TO THE SOUTH. HOWEVER...THE CUTOFF WILL
BEGIN TO WEAKEN AND RETROGRADE WESTWARD...AND SOME RIDGING WILL
TRY TO BUILD INTO OUR AREA AS KATIA BEGINS TO MOVE NORTHEASTWARD
AWAY FROM THE COAST. THE RESULT WILL BE DECREASING CHANCES FOR
SHOWERS DURING THE DAYTIME ON THURSDAY. HOWEVER...WITH ENOUGH
MOISTURE STILL LINGERING...IT WILL CONTINUE TO REMAIN RATHER
CLOUDY. THE WARMING ALOFT SHOULD ALLOW FOR MAX TEMPS TO BE A
LITTLE WARMER THAN RECENT DAYS...WITH LOWER TO MIDDLE 70S IN
VALLEY AREAS.

WE HAVE CONTINUED LOW CHC/SLIGHT CHC FOR SHOWERS FOR THURSDAY NIGHT
THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT ACROSS THE AREA. THE MODELS HAVE CONTINUE TO
SHOW DISAGREEMENT DURING THIS TIME PERIOD...AS THERE WILL BE WEAK
FORCING...BUT STILL PLENTY OF MOISTURE AROUND...WHICH MAY ALLOW
FOR SOME SCT/WIDELY SCT SHOWERS. BY FRIDAY...SKIES SHOULD FINALLY
BECOME PARTLY CLOUDY. TEMPS LOOK TO RETURN TO WARMER LEVELS...WITH
HIGHS REACHING THE MID 70S TO LOW 80S ACROSS THE AREA FOR FRIDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
SOME DISAGREEMENTS IN LONG RANGE GUIDANCE/ENSEMBLES AS TO THE TIMING
OF THE DEAMPLIFICATION AND EXIT OF THE UPPER SYSTEM IN THE OH/TN
VALLEY.  SOME BRIEF PERIOD OF FLAT NORTHERN STREAM UPPER RIDGING
BUILDING INTO THE NORTHEASTERN U.S. AROUND SATURDAY AND/OR
SUNDAY...BUT STRONG NORTHERN STREAM UPPER IMPULSE TRACKING OUT OF
CANADA IS FORECASTED TO TRACK QUICKLY SOUTHEAST AND BRING A STRONG
COLD FRONT INTO THE REGION THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK...SOME TIME
BETWEEN MONDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT.

SO...RELATIVELY HIGH CONFIDENCE IN A PERIOD OF DRY WEATHER SOME TIME
DURING THE WEEKEND...THEN A STRONG COLD FRONT WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS SOME TIME IN THE MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT TIME
WINDOW.  THE FINER DETAILS OF TIMING WILL BECOME CLEARER AS WE GET
CLOSER TO NEXT WEEKEND AND THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK.

HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE 70S MOST AREAS THROUGH THE PERIOD...WITH THE
COOLEST TEMPERATURES SATURDAY AND/OR SUNDAY. HIGHS COOLER IN HIGHER
ELEVATIONS. LOWS IN THE 50S...SOME 40S HIGHER ELEVATIONS.

&&

.AVIATION /02Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER THE OHIO VALLEY WILL CONTINUE TO AFFECT THE
NORTHEAST ALONG WITH A STALL FRONTAL SYSTEM KEEPING CLOUDS AND
RAIN SHOWERS AROUND THE AREA THROUGH THE REST OF THE WORK WEEK.
VARYING CONDITIONS AMONG RAIN SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE
OVERNIGHT...WITH VFR/MVFR CONDITIONS DETERIORATING TO IFR AT
GFL/POU AND IFR/LIFR AT ALB. SOME STEADIER RAIN SHOULD MOVE BACK
INTO THE REGION AT SOME POINT TONIGHT OR TOMORROW MORNING AS LOW
PRESSURE TRACKS EAST. AS A RESULT SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE INTO
THURSDAY...WITH INCREASING WINDS. ALL TERMINALS EXPECTED TO
IMPROVE THURSDAY AFTERNOON.

OUTLOOK...
THU NIGHT...MVFR-VFR. SLIGHT CHANCE RAIN SHOWERS.
FRI-MON...MAINLY VFR. NO SIG WX

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
WET FLAG CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE TO BE IN PLACE ACROSS THE REGION
TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW NIGHT AS RAIN AND SHOWERS FALL ACROSS THE
ENTIRE AREA. A DRYING TREND MAY FINALLY START TO BEGIN FRIDAY.

LIGHT WINDS ARE EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS...WITH NORTH TO
NORTHEAST WINDS OF 5-10 MPH FOR TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
SOIL CONDITIONS ARE EXTREMELY SATURATED...AND RIVERS AND STREAMS
ARE HIGH ACROSS THE REGION. SEVERAL POINTS ACROSS THE HSA ARE
ALREADY IN FLOOD. ADDITIONAL RAINFALL OVERNIGHT WILL RANGE FROM
JUST OVER A HALF INCH ACROSS NEW ENGLAND TO NEARLY AN INCH AND A
HALF FOR THE WESTERN MOHAWK VALLEY. AREAS IN THE CATSKILLS AND
SCHOHARIE VALLEY WILL LIKELY SEE CLOSE TO ANOTHER INCH OF RAIN
BASIN AVERAGED. THIS WILL PREVENT STREAMS AND RIVERS FROM RECEDING
ANY FURTHER...AND WILL KEEP THE FLOOD THREAT IN PLACE THROUGH
TOMORROW MORNING. AT THIS POINT...WE ARE EXPECTING MINOR TO
MODERATE FLOODING...MAINLY ON THE CATSKILLS RIVERS /ESOPUS AND
RONDOUT/ AND ON THE SCHOHARIE CREEK AND PORTIONS OF THE MOHAWK
RIVER. QPF AMOUNTS LOOK MUCH LIGHTER FOR THURSDAY AND ESPECIALLY
FOR FRIDAY...WHICH SHOULD FINALLY ALLOW RIVERS TO RECEDE.

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