Area forecast discussion, Aug 28, 4:30 AM EDT, 3 hours 13 minutes before
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/...

06Z. WINDS WILL REMAIN STRONG THROUGH ABOUT MIDNIGHT...ESPECIALLY

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.

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.
