AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
150 PM EDT SUN SEP 4 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A WARM AND HUMID AIR MASS WILL BE WITH US THROUGH EARLY
LABOR DAY. A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT WILL BEGIN TO PRESS SOUTHWARD
FROM CANADA TODAY...AND THE CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL
INCREASE      ESPECIALLY NORTH AND WEST OF ALBANY...DURING THE
AFTERNOON. THIS FRONT WILL VERY SLOWLY MOVE THROUGH THE REGION
DURING LABOR DAY INTO EARLY WEEK...AND AS IT INTERACTS WITH TROPICAL
MOISTURE...THERE WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINFALL.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
AS OF 1230 PM...A BROKEN LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS RE-DEVELOPED ON THE
SOUTHERN FLANK OF AN ORIGINAL LINE AND WAS WORKING THROUGH CAPITAL
DISTRICT AND POINTS SOUTHWARD WITH LOTS OF CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING
STRIKES. THIS LINE WILL CONTINUE TO HEAD EAST...AND ACTUALLY MIGHT
STRENGTHEN AS IT MOVES INTO MORE UNSTABLE AND WARM AIR EAST AND
NORTH OF THE HUDSON VALLEY. ONE OF THESE STORMS HAVE SHOW STRONG
SIGNATURES ON RADAR...WITH ELEVATED CORES AND VIL VALUES APPROACHING
50 NEAR GREENE COUNTY.

FURTHER UPSTREAM...NOT MUCH GOING ON RIGHT NOW. WITH HEATING OF THE
DAY MORE STORMS WILL LIKELY BREAK OUT...AND THE LATEST NAM CONTINUES
TO INSIST ON A SWATH OF HEAVY RAINFALL ACROSS THE MOHAWK VALLEY.
THE 12Z GFS DOES NOT SUPPORT THIS RAINFALL BUT BEING A LOWER
RESOLUTION MODEL...MIGHT NOT BE PICKING ON THE INTENSITY OF
CONVECTIVE PRECIPITATION.

LOWERED MAX TEMPERATURES A CATEGORY IN THE CAPITAL DISTRICT...AS
WELL AS A FEW OTHER PLACES. ADIRONDACKS ON THE OTHER HAND...WE
RAISED TEMPS A SMIDGEN.

THROUGH 400 PM...LOOK FOR BREAKS OF HAZY SUNSHINE (EVEN IN THE
HUDSON VALLEY) WHERE THUNDERSTORMS ACTUALLY ARE HELPING TO FINALLY
ERODE THE STRATUS...SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS...SOME OF WHICH COULD
BECOME STRONG TO LOCALLY SEVERE. TEMPERATURES WILL TOP OUT 80-85
MOST PLACES BUT WITH DEWPOINTS 70-75...WILL FEEL QUITE
UNCOMFORTABLE.

******PREVIOUS NEAR TERM FORECAST*******

AS OF 915 AM...A BROKEN LINE OF CONVECTION MOVING EAST/NORTHEAST
THROUGH THE MOHAWK VALLEY AND ADIRONDACKS...POSSIBLY EXTENDING INTO
THE FAR NORTHERN PART OF THE SCHOHARIE VALLEY. HAVE UPDATED THE
POP/WX GRIDS TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS LINE OF SHOWERS. HAVE ALSO ADJUSTED
THE HOURLY TEMP GRIDS TO ACCOUNT FOR CURRENT CONDITIONS/TRENDS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
TONIGHT...EXPECT SEVERAL ROUNDS OF SHOWERS/TSTMS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
ADIRONDACKS...INTO SOUTHERN VT...AND INTO THE WESTERN MOHAWK
VALLEY...AND POSSIBLY GRAZING THE CAPITAL REGION AND SCHOHARIE
VALLEY. FURTHER S/E...CAN NOT RULE OUT A FEW SHOWERS/STORMS...BUT IT
APPEARS THAT FORCING SHOULD REMAIN WEAKER...AND THE OVERALL THREAT
FOR SHOWERS/STORMS LESS. IN ADDITION TO LOCALLY HEAVY
RAINFALL...GUSTY/STRONG WINDS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE WITHIN TSTMS
ACROSS NORTHERN AREAS...WHERE EMBEDDED BOWING LINE SEGMENTS COULD
STILL MIX STRONGER WINDS TO SFC...AS HAS OCCURRED ACROSS OH/MI
EARLY THIS MORNING. IT WILL REMAIN WARM AND VERY HUMID...WITH THE
POSSIBILITY OF FOG FORMING ONCE AGAIN. MIN TEMPS SHOULD ONLY FALL
INTO THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S IN VALLEYS...AND 60-65 ACROSS
HIGHER ELEVATIONS.

MON-MON NT...THE COLD FRONT WILL SLOWLY SETTLE SOUTH/EAST ACROSS THE
REGION DURING MONDAY...WHILE WAVES OF LOW PRESSURE TRAVEL ALONG
BOUNDARY. THIS WILL FAVOR WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS...SOME OF WHICH WILL LIKELY CONTAIN HEAVY DOWNPOURS AS
TROPICAL MOISTURE INTERACTS WITH THE BOUNDARY AND APPROACHING RIGHT
ENTRANCE REGION OF JET MAX FROM THE W/NW. THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH
CURRENTLY IN EFFECT ACROSS NORTHERN AREAS WILL LIKELY BE EXPANDED
FURTHER S/E DUE TO THE POTENTIAL HEAVY RAIN...AND EXTREMELY
SATURATED GROUND DUE TO IRENE/S DELUGE. TEMPS MAY ACTUALLY FALL
DURING THE DAY MONDAY ACROSS NORTHERN AREAS...AS SHALLOW COOL AIR
INFILTRATES SOUTHWARD. EXPECT MAX TEMPS TO REACH THE MID/UPPER 70S
ACROSS SOUTHERN/EASTERN AREAS...WHILE ONLY REACHING THE 60S ACROSS
MUCH OF THE NORTH COUNTRY/SOUTHERN ADIRONDACKS. FOR MON NT...EXPECT
MINS TO FALL INTO THE 50S AND LOWER 60S...WARMEST ACROSS SOUTHERN
AREAS.

TUE/TUE NT...BOTH THE 00Z/GFS AND ECMWF NOW INDICATE SLIGHTLY FASTER
PROGRESSION OF FRONTAL BOUNDARY...WHILE 00Z/NAM IS MUCH SLOWER...AND
DEVELOPS A STRONG WAVE ALONG BOUNDARY. BASED ON HPC GUIDANCE...HAVE
DISCOUNTED THE NAM SOLUTION...FAVORING THE GFS/ECMWF...AND THEREFORE
HAVE INDICATED CHC POPS FOR TUE MORNING...ENDING ACROSS
NORTHERN/CENTRAL AREAS BY TUE AFTERNOON. SHOULD THE ECMWF PROVE
CORRECT...SKIES MAY EVEN CLEAR OUT BY TUE AFTERNOON ACROSS AT LEAST
THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE REGION. FOR TEMPS...FOLLOWED CLOSER TO THE
MAV MOS...WHICH ACCOUNTS FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF SOME SUNSHINE AND
SLIGHT WARMING TUE AFTERNOON. FOR TUE NT...HAVE INDICATED A SLIGHT
NORTHWARD EXPANSION OF CLOUDS AND SHOWERS...AND FOLLOWED GMOS FOR
TEMPS.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
CONFIDENCE IS INCREASING A BIT THAT THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY EARLIER IN
THE WEEK WILL BE SOUTHEAST OF THE REGION EARLY WEDNESDAY BEFORE
RETURNING SLOWLY NORTHWARD THROUGH THE DAY.  THIS WILL PLACE THE
HIGHER CHANCE POPS ALONG AND SOUTH OF I90 THROUGH THE DAY. UPPER
FLOW PATTERN ACROSS THE NORTHEAST IS SOMEWHAT CONFLUENT WHICH SHOULD
SUPPRESS NORTHWARD PROGRESS OF THIS FRONTAL SYSTEM. THE REMNANTS OF
"LEE" WILL ALSO PLAY A PART TO THIS FORECAST AS THE MOISTURE
TRANSPORT IS FORECAST TO ADVECT NORTHWARD ACROSS THIS FRONT FOR THE
MID WEEK PERIOD.  GLOBAL MODELS ALSO HINTING AT "KATIA" ENTERING THE
PICTURE TOWARD THE END OF THIS WEEK.  THE GFS HINTS AT A 'PRE'
RAINFALL EVENT WHILE THE ECMWF /WHICH HAS HAD QUITE A GOOD TRACK OF
LATE/ HAS A MUCH LESS RESPONSE AND A FURTHER WESTWARD SOLUTION WITH
RESPECT TO THE TRACK OF "KATIA" AND REMNANTS OF "LEE" OVER THE LOWER
OHIO VALLEY.  AT THIS POINT...WE WILL KEEP EITHER A LOW CHANCE POPS
OR SLIGHT CHANCE AND GRADUATE THOSE VALUES FROM THE HIGHER VALUES TO
THE SOUTH AND MUCH LESS FOR PORTIONS OF THE DACKS...LAKE GEORGE
REGION INCLUDING SOUTHERN VT.

THE TRACK OF "KATIA" WILL HAVE HUGE IMPLICATIONS FOR THE END OF THE
WEEK AND THE START OF NEXT WEEKENDS FORECAST.  THE ECMWF IS THE WEST
MOST SOLUTION WITH TRENDS OF THE HWRF/GFDL ALSO A LITTLE FURTHER
WEST WITH THE TRACK.  HOWEVER...THEY ALL SHOW A RAPID TURN NORTH
THEN NORTHEAST JUST OFF THE OUTERBANK OF NC.  FOR NOW...WE WILL KEEP
OUR WEATHER DRY AND WATCH TRENDS VERY CLOSELY.

TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE PERIOD LOOKS TO BE NEAR SEASONABLE VALUES.

PLEASE REFER TO THE LATEST OFFICIAL FORECASTS ON THE TROPICS FROM
THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
AS OF 130 PM...AS A BROKEN LINE OF CONVECTION MOVED ACROSS THE
HUDSON VALLEY...IFR STRATUS HAS FINALLY BROKE UP IN MOST PLACES.
HAVE LINGERED OCCASIONAL MVFR CONDITIONS AT KPOU/KGFL...AND
OCCASIONALLY IFR CONDITIONS AT KALB UNTIL ABOUT 19Z TO 20Z. AFTER
THAT MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED FOR THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON
AND EARLY EVENING...BUT CONJVECTION IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AGAIN SO
HAVE FORECAST VCSH AND CB AT ALL THREE TAF SITES.

LATER ON THIS EVENING VSBYS ARE EXPECTED TO BECOME MVFR AGAIN AS FOG
BEGINS TO FORM...THEN STEADY PCPN IS LIKELY TO OVERSPREAD THE REGION
LATE TONGIHT AND CONTINUE THROUGH THE END OF THE TAF PERIOD (18Z
MONDAY). CONDITIONS WILL BECOME IFR IN RAIN/STRATUS BEGINING AROUND
05Z AT KGFL...07Z AT KALB...AND 11Z AT KPOU.

OUTLOOK...
MON-MON NGT...MVFR/IFR...SHRA LIKELY WITH CHC TSRA.
TUE-WED...MAINLY VFR...CHC -SHRA KALB AND KPOU.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT WILL BRING INCREASING CHANCES FOR SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH MONDAY...WITH WIDESPREAD
MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN POSSIBLE MONDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT.

ELEVATED RH WILL CONTINUE OVER THE NEXT 2 DAYS...REACHING 90-100
PERCENT AT NIGHT...AND 55-65 PERCENT THIS AFTERNOON...AND 70-90
PERCENT MON AFTERNOON.

WINDS WILL REMAIN SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST AT 10-20 MPH BY THIS
AFTERNOON...5-15 MPH TONIGHT...THEN WILL SHIFT FROM THE SOUTHWEST
INTO THE NORTHWEST AND NORTH MONDAY AFTERNOON AT 10-20 MPH. WINDS
WILL BE MUCH STRONGER...AND VARIABLE IN DIRECTION IN AND NEAR ANY
TSTMS.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
A FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH
TUE MORNING FOR THE SOUTHERN ADIRONDACKS...LAKE GEORGE/SARATOGA
REGION AND SOUTHERN VT.

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL INCREASE IN AREAL COVERAGE ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN ADIRONDACKS...LAKE GEORGE/SARATOGA REGION AND SOUTHERN
VERMONT LATER THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT...AND THEN WILL EXPAND
FURTHER S/E MONDAY INTO MONDAY NIGHT AS A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT
APPROACHES. AS THE FRONT INTERACTS WITH DEEP TROPICAL
MOISTURE...SHOWERS AND TSTMS COULD PRODUCE VERY HEAVY
RAINFALL...WITH RAINFALL RATES POTENTIALLY REACHING UP TO 2 INCHES
PER HOUR. IN ADDITION...THE POTENTIAL FOR TRAINING THUNDERSTORM
CELLS WILL ALSO INCREASE LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND NIGHT ACROSS
NORTHERN AREAS...AND ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE REGION MON AND MON
NIGHT. A FLASH FLOOD WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR NORTHERN AREAS FROM
SUN AFTERNOON THROUGH TUE AM...AND WILL LIKELY NEED TO BE EXPANDED
FURTHER SOUTH AND EAST SOMETIME LATER TODAY.
