AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
430 AM EDT SUN AUG 28 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
HURRICANE IRENE WILL IMPACT THE REGION TODAY WITH HEAVY RAIN AND
STRONG WINDS. IRENE WILL 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 SUNDAY/...
AS OF 400 AM...WIDESPREAD RAIN...FRQUENTLY HEAVY...WAS OVER THE
ENTIREFORECAST AREA AS HURRICANE IRENE MOVES UP ALONG THE NEW JERSEY
COAST. OUR LOCAL VWP IS NOW SHOWING LOW LEVEL WINDS JUST ABOVE THE
SURFACE OF AROUND 45 MPH...WITH ASOS REPORTS FROM AREAS JUST SOUTH
OF THE FORECAST AREA REPORTING GUSTS UP TO 40 MPH. EXPECT WINDS TO
INCREASE AND BECOME STRONG THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS...REACHING
THERE PEAK IN MOST AREAS LATE THIS MORNING AND AFTERNOON. ROPICAL
STORM WARNING REMAIN IN EFFECT AS DOES THE FLOOD WATCH. STILL EXPECT
WIND GUSTS OVER 50 MPH TODAY IN MOST AREAS...WITH GUSTS OF 60 TO 65
MPH POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY EASTERN AND SOUTHEAST PARTS OF THE
FORECAST AREA. THE OTHER THREAT IS THE POTENTIAL FOR ROTATING CELLS
AND ISOLATED TORNADOES OVER THE EXTREME SOUTHEAST PART OF THE
FORECAST AREA. DISCUSSION WITH SPC INDICATES THAT THE FORECAST AREA
IS NOT LIKELY TO BE INCLUDED IN ANY ADDITIONAL TORNADO WATCHES...BUT
WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR. IF IRENE SHIFTS FURTHER WEST...SOME
EASTERN PARTS OF THE FORECAST AREA WOULD HAVE A HIGHER THREAT FOR
ISOLATED TORNADOS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT 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 NIGHT 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 /06Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
HURRICANE IRENE WILL SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACT THE TERMINALS WITH
TROPICAL STORM CONDITIONS THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD ENDING AT 06Z
MONDAY. TROPICAL STORM WARNINGS ARE IN EFFECT FOR THE ENTIRE
AREA.

AS OF 200 AM...WIDSPREAD RAIN ASSOCIATED IRENE HAD MOVED INTO ALL
THREE TAFS SITES...AND IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE WELL INTO THE DAY ON
SUNDAY. EXPECT MAINLY IFR TO OCCAIONALLY MVFR CONDITIONS IN THIS
RAIN THROUGH ABOUT 18Z TO 20Z...THEN MAINLY MVFR CONDITIONS THROUGH
ABOUT 00Z TO 01Z MONDAY...THEN VFR CONDITIONS AFTER 01Z.

WIND SPEEDS WILL INCREASE FROM THE NORTHEAST THROUGH SUNRISE...
THEN TURN TO A MORE NORTHERLY DIRECTION AFTER SUNRISE SUNDAY
MORNING. BY AROUND NOON AND THROUGH THE AFTERNOON ALL TERMINALS WILL
BE EXPERIENCING SUSTAINED SPEEDS OF 20 TO 30 KT WITH GUSTS OF AROUND
40 TO 45 KT...POSSIBLY REACHING 50 KTS. WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE
NORTHWEST DURING SUNDAY AFTERNOON AS IRENE TRACKS NORTHEASTWARD
THROUGH NEW ENGLAND. AFTER 00Z WINDS WILL BEGIN TO SUBSIDE...
GENERALLY BECOMING 10 TO 20 KTS WITH GUSTS OF 25 KTS BY 06Z.

DUE TO STRONG SURFACE WINDS DEVELOPING AS STRONGEST WINDS ALOFT
MOVE IN...WILL NOT MENTION LLWS AT THIS TIME.

OUTLOOK...
LATE SUN NIGHT...VFR WITH WINDS CONTINUING TO DECREASING.
MON/TUE...VFR. NO SIG WX.
WED/THU...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 NORHWEST 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.
