AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
115 AM EDT SUN APR 17 2011
.SYNOPSIS...
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND ITS ASSOCIATED FRONTAL BOUNDARY
WILL CROSS THE REGION TONIGHT. AHEAD OF THE FRONT THERE WILL BE
MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN AND STRONG SOUTHEAST WINDS UNTIL AFTER
MIDNIGHT. BEHIND THE FRONT...RAIN WILL TAPER TO SCATTERED SHOWERS
LATE TONIGHT...WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS CONTINUING ON SUNDAY...ALONG
WITH STRONG WEST OR SOUTHWEST WINDS.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 8 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
AS OF 1040 PM...MAIN CHANGE WITH THIS UPDATE IS TO EXTEND THE HIGH
WIND WARNING AND WIND ADVISORY FOR AREAS EAST OF THE HUDSON VALLEY
TO 6 AM...AS THE LOW LEVEL JET WILL STILL BE CROSSING EASTERN
PORTIONS OF THE AREA BETWEEN 2 AM AND 6 AM. ALSO SLIGHTLY EXPANDED
THE WIND ADVISORY TO INCLUDE THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE SOUTHERN
TACONICS AND LITCHFIELD HILLS.
OTHERWISE...MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN OCCURRING MAINLY FROM ULSTER
COUNTY EASTWARD TO DUTCHESS AND LITCHFIELD COUNTIES. HAVE ISSUED
AN URBAN AND SMALL STREAM FLOOD ADVISORIES FOR THIS AREA...WHICH
ALSO COINCIDED WITH THE CURRENT FLOOD WATCH. ELSEWHERE MAINLY
LIGHT TO OCCASIONALLY MODERATE RAIN FALLING...ALTHOUGH ANOTHER
AREA TO WATCH FOR HEAVY RAIN WILL BE THE SOUTHEAST ADIRONDACKS
WHERE UPSLOPE FLOW WILL CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS. ADDED
ISOLATED THUNDER TO AREAS SOUTHEAST OF ALBANY OVERNIGHT...AS
ELEVATED INSTABILITY MAY RESULT IN A FEW LIGHTNING STRIKES.
THE UPPER LEVEL TROF IS RAPIDLY BECOMING NEGATIVELY TILTED TO OUR
SOUTH AND WEST...BUT IS ALSO SHOWING SIGNS OF BECOMING MORE
PROGRESSIVE. HRRR INDICATING THE STEADY RAINFALL SHOULD TAPER OFF
BETWEEN 3-5 AM ACROSS THE AREA.
PREVIOUS NEAR TERM DISCUSSIONS...
AS OF 715 PM...SOLID BATCH OF MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN NOW MOVING
INTO WESTERN ZONES AT THIS TIME. AN EAST-SOUTHEAST DOWNSLOPE
COMPONENT HAS KEPT AREAS NORTHEAST OF THE CAPITAL REGION DRY
INCLUDING THE UPPER HUDSON VALLEY...BENNINGTON AND BERKSHIRE
COUNTY. ENOUGH SYNOPTIC FORCING SHOULD BE ABLE TO OVERCOME THE
DRYING WITHIN A FEW HOURS AS THE OCCLUDED FRONT APPROACHES...WITH
WIDESPREAD RAIN DEVELOPING EVERYWHERE. THERE ARE STILL A FEW
POCKETS OF TEMPS IN THE LOWER 30S ACROSS THE NORTHERN BERKSHIRES
INTO THE SOUTHERN GREEN MOUNTAINS OF VERMONT...SO HAVE PUT IN
MENTION OF RAIN/SNOW MIX FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS ALTHOUGH NO
ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED. WINDY CONDITIONS HAVE DEVELOPED
ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN AS A LOW LEVEL SOUTHEAST JET
MOVES OVERHEAD. WILL LEAVE ALL HEADLINES AS IS FOR THE TIME BEING.
ADJUSTED HOURLY TEMP GRIDS BASED ON LATEST OBS AND TRENDS.
AS OF 500 PM...RAINFALL REMAINED RELATIVELY SPOTTY AND LIGHT ACROSS
THE FORECAST AREA. HOWEVER...KBGM AND KCCX RADARS SHOW AN AREA OF
MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN SPREADING NORTHEASTWARD FROM CENTRAL AND
EASTERN PA. THIS AREA WILL BE OVER THE REGION THIS EVENING...AND THE
MOVEMENT OF THIS AREA SHOWS THAT THE MODELS HAVE A GOOD HANDLE WITH
TIMING THE END OF THE HEAVIEST PCPN...GENERALLY FROM SW TO NE
BETWEEN 06Z AND 09Z. MOST MODELS AND NCEP QPF GUIDANCE SUGGEST ONE
TO TWO INCHES ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA...WITH THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS
OVER THE SOUTHEAST CATSKILLS WHERE A LITTLE OVER TWO INCHES IS
LIKELY. 12Z NAM SHOWED OVER 4 INCHES ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST
CATSKILLS...BUT THE 18Z NAM HAS BACKED OFF TO THREE INCHES. FLOOD
WATCHES WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR THE SOUTHERN THREE COUNTIES...BUT
DID NOT SEE ANY REASON TO EXPAND THE FLOOD WATCH TO OTHER AREAS.
STRONG SOUTHEAST WINDS SHOULD REACH THEIR PEAK THIS EVENING ACROSS
THE FORECAST AREA...THEN BEGIN TO DECREASE AFTER MIDNIGHT AND SHIFT
TO THE WEST AND SOUTHWEST. BASED ON CURRENT OBS OVER THE REGION...
AND WHAT HAS OCCURRED UPSTREAM THIS AFTERNOON...OUR CURRENT WIND
ADVISORIES/WARNINGS HAVE A GOOD HANDLE ON THE SITUATION AND DO NOT
PLAN ON EXPANDING OR CHANGING CURRENT WIND HEADLINES.
LOWS TONIGHT WILL BE IN THE UPPER 30S TO MID 40S...WITH TEMPS
ACTUALLY SHOWING ONLY MINOR VARIATIONS FROM THEIR CURRENT (500 PM)
READINGS.
&&
.SHORT TERM /8 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY/...
SUNDAY...ONLY SCATTERED SHOWERS TO REMAIN EARLY IN THE DAY AS THE
OCCLUDED FRONT CONTINUES TO MOVE AWAY FROM THE REGION. HOWEVER...A
SHORTWAVE TROF PASSING THROUGH WILL LIKELY CAUSE SCATTERED SHOWERS
TO REDEVELOP LATER IN THE MORNING AND DURING THE AFTERNOON...ESP
NORTH OF ALBANY AND ACROSS HIGHER ELEVATIONS. WEST TO SOUTHWEST
WINDS WILL INCREASE AS WELL BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON...WITH GUSTS
REACHING 35-45 MPH. MAY ACTUALLY NEED A WIND ADVISORY FOR SUNDAY
AFTERNOON...BUT WILL LET CURRENT ADVISORIES/WARNINGS EXPIRE AND THEN
LET MIDNIGHT SHIFT DECIDE IF A WIND ADVISORY IS NEEDED FOR SUNDAY
AFTERNOON. HIGHS SUNDAY WILL BE IN THE MID 40S TO AROUND 60.
SUNDAY NIGHT...AS COLDER AIR MOVES E...EXPECT SOME WEAK LAKE
EFFECT/ENHANCED SHOWERS ACROSS NORTHERN AREAS. AND...AS THE BOUNDARY
LAYER COOLS...EXPECT SOME OF THESE SHOWERS TO TURN TO SNOW...WITH
MINOR ACCUMS POSSIBLE ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE WESTERN DACKS. EXPECT
MIN TEMPS TO FALL INTO THE 30S IN VALLEYS...AND 20S FOR HIGHER
ELEVATIONS.
MONDAY...LINGERING RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE MON MORNING
ACROSS THE DACKS. THEN...AS AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE APPROACHES
FROM THE SW IN THE AFTERNOON...SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS WILL BE
POSSIBLE...ESP ACROSS SOUTHERN AREAS. EXPECT MAX TEMPS TO BE IN THE
50S IN THE VALLEYS...AND 40S TO AROUND 50 ACROSS HIGHER ELEVATIONS.
FOR MONDAY NIGHT...THE SHORT WAVE TROF WILL EXIT TO THE EAST EARLY
AT NIGHT...BUT A WARM FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE SOUTHWEST LATE AT
NIGHT AND THE LOW CHANCE OR SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH THE NIGHT. LOWS MONDAY NIGHT WILL BE IN THE MID 20S TO MID
30S ACROSS THE NORTH...AND MID 30S TO MID 40S OVER THE SOUTH.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
GLOBAL MODELS ARE PAINTING A RATHER ACTIVE WEATHER PERIOD FOR THE
CONUS AS A SERIES OF STRONG PACIFIC WAVES AMPLIFY OVER THE CENTER OF
NATION AND APPROACH THE EASTERN SEABOARD.
MONDAY NIGHT...
QUESTION IS JUST HOW FAR SOUTH DOES THE COLD FRONT GET BEFORE
BECOMING QUASI-STATIONARY AND THEN LIFT NORTHWARD AS A WARM FRONT
LATE. WE WILL CONTINUE WITH THE GRADUATED POPS WITH THE HIGHER
VALUES SOUTH. THERMAL PROFILES AT NIGHT WILL ALSO PROVE TO BE A
CHALLENGE AS THE POTENTIAL FOR RAIN/SNOW MIXTURE TO OCCUR IN
SPOTS.
TUESDAY...
CONSENSUS FAVORS A WARM FRONTAL PASSAGE THROUGH THE DAY. THIS WILL
LIKELY KEEP THE CLOUDS AND THE CHANCE FOR SHOWERS IN THE FORECAST.
COULD BE A DECENT OVERRUNNING EVENT FOR THE REGION AS STRENGTHENING
LOW LEVEL JET AND MOISTURE TRANSPORT OUT OF THE GULF MAGNIFIES.
TUESDAY NIGHT...
THE WARM FRONT IS EXPECTED TO DRIFT NORTH OF THE CWFA PLACING THE
REGION WITHIN THE WARM SECTOR AS MAIN STORM TRACKS ACROSS THE PLAINS
AND MID WEST. COULD FORESEE TEMPERATURES CLIMBING THROUGH THE NIGHT
AS 850MB TEMPS CLIMB TOWARD +10C BY SUNRISE.
WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT...
COULD BE AN ACTIVE WEATHER DAY FOR THE REGION. RATHER IMPRESSIVE
WIND FIELD ACROSS THE REGION BUT JUST WHERE WILL THE COLD FROPA
OCCUR...THE TRENDS THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS OFFER A WIDE VARIETY OF
TIMING WITH THE ECMWF THE FASTEST. WE WILL CONTINUE WITH THE CHANCE
FOR CONVECTION AS SURFACE TEMPS CLIMB INTO THE 60S. IN THE WAKE OF
THE FROPA...COLD ADVECTION PURSUES WITH THOSE SAME 850MB TEMPS
DROPPING BACK TO BELOW 0C OVERNIGHT. DELTA T/S INCREASE OVER LAKE
ONTARIO WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR LAKE EFFECT ACTIVITY TO IMPACT THE
DACKS.
THURSDAY THRU FRIDAY...
HIGH PRESSURE AND MORE TRANQUIL CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED WITH AROUND
SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES UNDER PTCLDY/MOCLR SKIES.
&&
.AVIATION /06Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
MAIN AVIATION ISSUE WILL BE THE STRONG WINDS THAT ARE EXPECTED
THROUGH SUNDAY.
REGIONAL RADARS SHOW SEVERAL BANDS OF LIGHT TO MODERATE RAINFALL
ACROSS THE REGION WITH THE BULK OF THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL TRANSLATING
INTO NEW ENGLAND. FLIGHT CATEGORIES HAVE BEEN QUITE A CHALLENGE
WITH A RAPID SWING FROM VFR TO MVFR. PREFER TO KEEP PREDOMINANT
GROUP INTO MVFR AT THE PRESENT TIME AS THE AFOREMENTIONED SHOWERS
ARE EVIDENT ON THE RADARSCOPE.
AS THIS STORM LIFTS NORTHEAST...AVIATION CONDITIONS WITH RESPECT TO
CIGS/VIS WILL IMPROVE. HOWEVER...RATHER IMPRESSIVE MIXING WILL
COMMENCE DURING THE DAY FOR WEST-SOUTHWEST WINDS TO QUICKLY INCREASE
THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS. AS INSTABILITY INCREASES WITH THE COLD
POCKET ALOFT EXPECTED TO COME ACROSS THE REGION...ADDITIONAL SHOWERS
WILL DEVELOP. AT THIS TIME...WE WILL PLACE VCSH AND MONITOR TRENDS.
OUTLOOK...
SUN NT-MON AM...VFR...NO SIG WX.
MON PM-TUE...MVFR/IFR...CHC -RA/RA...MAINLY SOUTH OF KGFL.
TUE NT-WED AM...VFR/MVFR...CHC -SHRA/-TSRA.
WED PM...VFR/MVFR...CHC SHRA/TSRA...BREEZY.
WED NT-THU...VFR...NO SIG WX. BREEZY.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND ITS ASSOCIATED FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL CROSS
THE REGION TONIGHT. AHEAD OF THE FRONT THERE WILL BE RAIN AND STRONG
SOUTHEAST WINDS UNTIL AFTER MIDNIGHT. BEHIND THE FRONT... RAIN WILL
TAPER TO SCATTERED SHOWERS LATE TONIGHT...WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS
CONTINUING ON SUNDAY...ALONG WITH STRONG WEST OR SOUTHWEST WINDS.
RH VALUES WILL RISE TO 85-100 PERCENT TONIGHT AS WIDESPREAD RAIN
AFFECTS THE REGION. SURFACE WINDS EARLY TONIGHT WILL BE EAST TO
SOUTHEAST 15 TO 30 MPH...WITH GUSTS OF 35 TO 60 MPH...BECOMING WEST
OR SOUTHWEST LATE TONIGHT AND DECREASING TO 10 TO 20 MPH WITH GUSTS
TO 30 MPH.
ON SUNDAY RH VALUES WILL LOWER TO BETWEEN 35 AND 55 PERCENT...WITH
WEST TO SOUTHWEST WINDS INCREASING TO 20 TO 25 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 35
TO 45 MPH.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
MINOR FLOODING CONTINUES ON THE SCHROON RIVER BETWEEN SCHROON LAKE
AND THE HUDSON RIVER. PLEASE REFER TO LATEST FLOOD STATEMENTS.
MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN IS LIKELY TO CONTINUE THROUGH LATE
TONIGHT...WITH TOTAL RAIN AMOUNTS ACROSS THE ALBANY HYDROLOGIC
SERVICE AREA THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING RANGING FROM AROUND AN INCH
ACROSS FAR NORTHWEST PORTION OF FA TO 1.50 TO 2.25 INCHES ACROSS
THE SOUTHEAST AND CENTRAL CATSKILLS AND LITCHFIELD HILLS...WITH
MOST OF THE HSA RECEIVING BETWEEN 0.75 AND 1.50 INCHES.
THIS RAIN MAY RENEW FLOODING IN AREAS WHERE STREAM LEVELS REMAIN
ELEVATED. SOME URBAN AND POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING IS ALSO POSSIBLE
TONIGHT DUE TO ANY HEAVY RAIN...ESPECIALLY ACROSS SOUTHERN
AREAS...WHERE A FLOOD WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED.
