AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
147 PM EDT FRI AUG 19 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION TRIGGERING
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS INTO EARLY THIS EVENING. OUTSIDE
OF AN ISOLATED SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM ON SATURDAY...SEASONABLE
WEATHER IS EXPECTED AS A NARROW RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS
THE REGION.  A STRONGER COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED ON SUNDAY WITH
ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 1 PM...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH #791 IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 PM
FOR SCHOAHRIE...ALBANY...RENSSELAER COUNTIES AND TO THE SOUTH AND
EAST ACROSS THE REST OF OUR FORECAST AREA. SCATTERED CONVECTION
DEVELOPED ACROSS THE AREA LATE THIS MORNING INTO THE EARLIER AFTERNOON
AS MID LEVEL COLD POCKET MOVES INTO REGION. STORMS ARE SLOW MOVING
AND BACK BUILDING IS OCCURRING SO LOCALIZED FLOODING A CONCERN. THE
AIRMASS CONTINUES TO DESTABILIZE AND LOW-LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE
STEEPENING WITH MIXED LAYER CAPE BECOMING MODERATELY LARGE.
THERMODYNAMIC PROFILES ARE SUFFICIENT FOR SOME HAIL AND LOCALIZED
DOWNBURSTS...BUT VERY WEAK DEEP LAYER MEAN FLOW AND SHEAR WILL
PROBABLY MINIMIZE THE RISK FOR ORGANIZED SEVERE STORMS.

AS OF 10 AM EDT...WE HAVE UPDATED THE FORECAST TO REMOVE THE
FOG/STRATUS THIS MORNING FROM THE GRIDS...AS IT CONTINUES TO
RAPIDLY DISSIPATE IN AND AROUND THE HUDSON RIVER VALLEY.

SPC HAS PLACED THE SOUTHERN 6 COUNTIES IN OUR FORECAST AREA IN A
SLIGHT RISK. THESE LOCATIONS HAD THE LION SHARE OF THE
THUNDERSTORMS YESTERDAY TOO. THE 0-6 KM BULK SHEAR STILL LOOKS
VERY WEAK AT 10-15 KTS. A WEAK COLD FRONT CONTINUES TO APPROACH
FROM THE W-CNTRL NY. A FEW CELLS HAVE POPPED UP OVER THE FINGER
LAKES REGION. A BETTER ORGANIZED CLUSTER OVER WRN PA. THE SBCAPES
SHOULD GET INTO THE 1000-2000 J/KG RANGE FROM THE CAPITAL REGION
SOUTH. THE 12Z KALB SOUNDING HAS A PWAT VALUE OF 1.21 INCHES...AND
H850-500 LAPSE RATE OF 6.8 C/KM. IF WE GET CLOSE THE MID 80S WE
COULD SEE INSTABILITY VALUES EXCEED 1500 J/KG. A DECENT AMOUNT OF
INSTABILITY WITH WEAK SHEAR INDICATES ONCE AGAIN SOME LOOSELY
ORGANIZED OR PULSE CONVECTION IS POSSIBLE...WITH SOME MARGINAL
SEVERE STORMS. WE ADDED GUSTY WINDS...HVY RAIN...AND SMALL HAIL TO
THE GRIDS FOR LOCATIONS SOUTH OF KALB. THE HWO HAS ALSO BEEN
UPDATED. THE SLOW MOVEMENT OF THE STORMS MAY PRODUCE SOME QUICK
1-2 INCH RAIN AMOUNTS. TEMPS LOOK GOOD AT THIS TIME.

PREVIOUS NEAR TERMS FOLLOWS...

AS OF 645 AM...PATCHY DENSE FOG HAS BEEN SEEN IN 11U-3.9U
IMAGERY...WEB CAMS AND SURFACE OBS.  THIS SEEMS TO BE MAINLY
CONFINED IN THE VALLEY LOCATIONS BUT ITS QUITE EXTENSIVE ACROSS THE
BERKS THIS EARLY MORNING.  THIS SHOULD QUICKLY DISSIPATE WITH A
RETURN TO MO-PTSUNNY CONDITIONS.  06Z GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO SUPPORT
EARLIER THINKING WITH CONVECTION DEVELOPING LATER THIS MORNING AND
INTO THE AFTERNOON.  MAIN THREAT SEEMS BE STILL ALONG AND SOUTH OF
I90.

PREV DISC...
500MB SHORT WAVE TROUGH AXIS WAS SLOWLY MIGRATING EAST TOWARD THE
CWFA PER THIS EARLY MORNINGS H2O VAPOR LOOP. A RATHER DIFFUSE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY /WEAK COLD FRONT/ WAS OVER THE EASTERN GREAT
LAKES REGION MOVING ALONG IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE UPPER LEVEL
FEATURES. PRECEDING THESE FEATURES WERE MODEST DEWPOINTS WITH THE
HIGHEST VALUES EAST OF I81 WITH LOW-MID 60S. IR SATELLITE IMAGERY
REVEALS MOCLR SKIES ACROSS THE REGION WITH JUST SOME POCKETS OF
EITHER AC AND/OR ACCAS. THIS WILL BE THE KEY TO HOW MUCH INSOLATION
OCCURS TODAY FOR RESULTANT INSTABILITY. NAM/RUC/HRRR SUGGEST WE
WILL ACHIEVE SBCAPES CLOSE TO 2K J/KG WITH MODEST CAPE DENSITY AND
MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES AOA 6.5 C/KM. LIKE YESTERDAY...IT SEEMS THE
HIGHER CHANCE FOR CONVECTION WILL BE NEAR AND SOUTH OF
ALBANY...AND THIS TOO IS SUGGESTED BY THE 4KM SPC WRF REFLECTIVITY
AND THE HRRR EXPERIMENTAL REFLECTIVITY. SEVERE POTENTIAL LOOKS
MARGINAL AS WELL WITH SHEAR PROFILES LESS THAN 20 KTS.
HOWEVER...WITH PWATS FORECAST TO CLIMB TOWARD 1.3-1.5" AND THE
AFOREMENTIONED LIGHT WIND FIELDS...COULD NOT RULE OUT A WET
MICROBURST AS PRECIP LOADED COLUMNS COLLAPSE. WE ARE NOT
HIGHLIGHTED PER SPC OUTLOOKS BUT WILL CONTINUE TO MENTION IN THE
HWO. AS FOR TEMPERATURES...WITH LITTLE CHANGE IN THE THERMAL
PROFILES...NOT MUCH CHANGE FROM YESTERDAYS HIGHS AND FOLLOWED
PERSISTENCE FROM PREVIOUS FORECAST.

SHORT WAVE TROUGH AXIS WILL SLOWLY MIGRATE EAST THIS EVENING.
COMBINE THAT WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING...CONVECTION WILL
DIMINISH BY MIDNIGHT. A SLIGHTLY COOLER/DRIER AIR MASS ADVECTS
INTO THE REGION BUT NOT TOO MUCH WHERE SOME PATCHY FOG IS
POSSIBLE. THIS WILL BECOME MORE OF AN ISSUE WHERE PRECIP FALLS
DURING THE DAY. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL GENERALLY FALL BETWEEN 55-60F.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
SHORT WAVE RIDGE AXIS MOVES ACROSS NY/NE ON SATURDAY WITH MAINLY
TRANQUIL CONDITIONS. HOWEVER...FORECAST SOUNDINGS DO SUGGEST
LINGERING INSTABILITY WHERE OUR ELEVATED HEAT SOURCES WILL LIKELY
SEE CU/CB DEVELOP AND MAY DEVELOP IN SOME ISOLATED
CONVECTION/PRECIP. THE PREVIOUS FORECAST SHIFT HAD AN EXCELLENT
HANDLE ON THIS AND VERY LITTLE CHANGES NEEDED AT THIS TIME. SKIES
WILL VARY FROM MOSUNNY TO PTSUNNY WITH SEASONABLE OR SLIGHT ABOVE
NORMAL TEMPERATURES FOR MID AUGUST.

UPSTREAM...A RATHER POTENT JET STREAK TRACKS ALONG THE
U.S./CANADIAN BORDER AND DIVES SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES
REGION SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY. AT THIS TIME...WE HAVE
DISCOUNTED THE GFS DUE TO POOR INCONSISTENT RUNS /ESPECIALLY PER
THE ENSEMBLES/ AND THE NAM/ECMWF ARE IN EXCELLENT AGREEMENT AND
TRENDING TOWARD THE GFS ENSEMBLE MEMBERS. THIS FAVORS A FASTER AND
MORE PRONOUNCED FEATURES HEADING INTO SUNDAY. FAVORABLE WIND FIELD
AND SHEAR PROFILES SUGGEST AN ORGANIZED CONVECTIVE EVENT
DEVELOPING DURING SUNDAY. AS SUGGESTED BY SPC...DEGREE OF
PRECEDING CLOUD COVER MAY SUPPRESS INSTABILITY PARAMETERS BUT WE
DID LEAVE THE WINDOW OPEN FOR AN UPGRADE IN FUTURE OUTLOOKS. PER
THE NAM...OUR FORECAST EHI/S CLIMB TOWARD 2 M2/S2 WHICH IS
NOTABLE. IF WE ARE ABLE TO OBTAIN FURTHER INSOLATION...THEN THESE
VALUES WILL BE SURE TO INCREASE. WE WILL HIGHLIGHT THIS WITHIN THE
HWO THIS MORNING.

SINCE WE ARE IN FAVOR OF A FASTER SOLUTION WITH THE PROGRESS OF
THIS UPSTREAM WAVE...FROPA SHOULD OCCUR BEFORE MIDNIGHT SUNDAY
NIGHT. THIS WILL SURELY END THE POTENTIAL FOR ADDITIONAL
CONVECTION AND PROVIDE A BRISK WEST NORTHWEST FLOW OF COOL...DRIER
AND MORE STABLE AIR TOWARD MONDAY MORNING. 500MB TEMPS ACROSS THE
NORTH COUNTRY ARE EXPECTED TO DROP TOWARD -20C WITH 850MB TEMPS TO
LESS THAN 10C BY MONDAY MORNING.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
00Z NAM NOW ON BOARD WITH EURO WITH FASTER COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE
BEFORE SUNRISE ON MONDAY. 00Z GFS IS NOW TRENDING FASTER WITH COLD
FRONT...BUT STILL LAGS NAM/EURO BY ABOUT 6 HOURS. GEF/SREF
ENSEMBLES SUPPORT NAM/EURO...AND HAVE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS...SO
EXTENDED WAS BASED EURO/GFS BLEND WEIGHTED TOWARDS THE EURO.

FOR MONDAY HAVE SLIGHT CHANCE POPS DUE TO COLD AIR ADVECTION AND
COLD POOL ALOFT WHICH MAY TRIGGER AN ISOLATED AFTERNOON SHOWER. FOR
TUESDAY SLIGHT CHANCE POPS NORTHERN THIRD OF AREA DUE TO POSSIBLE
-SHRA/TSRA AS WARM FRONT MOVES ACROSS LATE IN THE DAY. SLIGHT CHANCE
POPS AGAIN ON WEDNESDAY WITH TROUGH APPROACHING FROM MIDWEST AND
MOIST SOUTHWEST FLOW. CHANCE POPS THU AS COLD FRONT APPROACHES AND
THEN SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FRIDAY AS COOLER AIR ARRIVES DIFFUSELY WITH
A SERIES OF WEAK FRONTS.

OVERALL...MEAN TROUGH OVER EASTERN US WITH RIDGING OVER ROCKIES.
TEMPS NEAR TO BELOW NORMAL MON-TUE...AND NEAR TO ABOVE NORMAL
REMAINDER OF EXTENDED.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH #791 IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 PM
FOR SCHOAHRIE...ALBANY...RENSSELAER COUNTIES AND TO THE SOUTH AND
EAST ACROSS THE REST OF OUR FORECAST AREA. SCATTERED CONVECTION
DEVELOPED ACROSS THE AREA LATE THIS MORNING INTO THE EARLIER AFTERNOON
AS MID LEVEL COLD POCKET MOVES INTO REGION. STORMS ARE SLOW MOVING
AND BACKBUILDING IS OCCURRING SO LOCALIZED FLOODING A CONCERN. THE
AIRMASS CONTINUES TO DESTABILIZE AND LOW-LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE

PROBABLY MINIMIZE THE RISK FOR ORGANIZED SEVERE STORMS.

CONVECTION DISSIPATE AS THE EVENING PROGRESS AND SKIES CLEAR OUT.
CONDITIONS WILL BE FAVORABLE FOR MVFR-IFR RADIATION FOG TO DEVELOP
ESPECAILLY AT KGFL OVERNIGHT. FOG WILL BURN OFF EARLY SATURDAY
MORNING.

OUTLOOK...
SAT...VFR. IFR POSSIBLE MORNING FG.
SUN...VFR-MVFR WITH A CHC OF -SHRA/-TSRA.
MON-TUE...VFR. NO SIG WX.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL BRING A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS AGAIN TODAY. AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE AND
ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO BRING ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ON SUNDAY.

THE RH VALUES WILL LOWER TO 45 TO 60 PERCENT DURING THIS
AFTERNOON. ANOTHER EXCELLENT RECOVERY TO 90 TO 100 PERCENT IS
EXPECTED BY SATURDAY MORNING.

THE WINDS WILL BE FROM THE SOUTH OR SOUTHWEST AT 5 TO 10 MPH
TODAY INTO THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD. WESTERLY WINDS LESS THAN 10 MPH
ARE EXPECTED ON SATURDAY.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
NO WIDESPREAD HYDRO PROBLEMS ARE EXPECTED THE NEXT FEW DAYS...BUT
FRIDAY TROUGH SUNDAY LOCATIONS COULD RECEIVE A QUICK COUPLE OF
INCHES OF RAIN DUE TO SLOW MOVING THUNDERSTORMS. SOME URBAN AND POOR
DRAINAGE FLOODING IN LOW LYING AREAS IS POSSIBLE. A DRIER AIR MASS
WILL RETURN EARLY NEXT WEEK.
