AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
1058 PM EDT FRI MAY 27 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL REMAIN ACROSS NORTHERN NEW YORK
AND NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. A
DISTURBANCE MOVING ALONG THE BOUNDARY WILL PRODUCE SHOWERS...AND
SCATTERED STRONG TO POTENTIALLY SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS INTO THIS
EVENING ONCE AGAIN. THE BOUNDARY WILL MOVE BACK NORTHWARD AS A
WARM FRONT DURING THE WEEKEND...AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS FROM THE
SOUTHEAST AND THE MID ATLANTIC REGION. HOT AND HUMID WEATHER CAN
BE EXPECTED FOR THE MEMORIAL DAY HOLIDAY...AS TEMPERATURES WILL
RUN WELL ABOVE NORMAL.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
AS OF 1030 PM EDT...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO AFFECT
THE WESTERN ADIRONDACKS/MOHAWK VALLEY...WITH EMBEDDED STRONGER
THUNDERSTORMS...AND TRAINING CELLS. WILL HAVE TO KEEP A CLOSE EYE
AS THERE IS SOME EVIDENCE CELLS MAY CONTINUE
TRAINING...WHICH...GIVEN HIGH RAINFALL RATES...COULD LEAD TO HYDRO
CONCERNS...ESP ACROSS SOUTHERN HERKIMER CO.

WE EXPECT THE LARGE AREA OF SHOWERS/TSTMS...ASSOCIATED WITH A
SHORTWAVE MOVING NORTH ACROSS THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES...TO
CONTINUE EDGING SLOWLY EAST OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS...AFFECTING
MAINLY AREAS ACROSS THE SCHOHARIE VALLEY/WESTERN MOHAWK
VALLEY/ADIRONDACKS THROUGH 1 AM...THEN INCREASING ACROSS
NORTHERN/WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE CAPITAL REGION BETWEEN 1 AND 3
AM. THE SHOWERS/TSTMS SHOULD GRADUALLY WEAKEN IN TIME...WITH AREAL
COVERAGE LIKELY DIMINISHING ACROSS PORTIONS OF WESTERN NEW
ENGLAND...AS WELL AS WITHIN THE MID HUDSON VALLEY AND NW CT.

SO...FOR CHANGES TO GRIDDED DATABASE...HAVE KEPT CONDITIONS DRY
FROM THE HUDSON RIVER E THROUGH AROUND 1 AM...WHILE INCREASING
POPS TOWARD THE N/W INTO THE CATEGORICAL RANGE. ALSO...HAVE
INCLUDED MENTION OF GUSTY WINDS/HEAVY RAIN WITH TSTMS FROM THE
CAPITAL REGION N AND W. OTHERWISE...JUST MINOR TWEAKS BASED ON
RECENT OBS.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...

AS OF 730 PM EDT...HAVE CUT POPS FOR SOUTHERN AREAS FROM THE
HUDSON VALLEY EAST IN THE IMMEDIATE NEAR TERM...AND LOWERED TO
SLIGHT CHC FROM ALBANY SOUTH AND EAST. MAIN FORCING...IN THE FORM
OF WEAK UPPER LEVEL JET DYNAMICS...AND LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
CONVERGENCE HAS KEPT MOST CONVECTIVE ELEMENTS ACROSS NORTHERN
PORTIONS OF THE REGION...GENERALLY NORTH OF THE MOHAWK RIVER
VALLEY THROUGH THE ADIRONDACKS AND INTO SOUTHERN VT. THIS WEAK
FORCING SHOULD REMAIN IN PLACE...OR MAY EVEN LIFT FURTHER N OVER
THE NEXT FEW HOURS. HOWEVER...SHORTWAVE ACROSS THE CENTRAL
APPALACHIANS MAY PROVIDE ADDITIONAL FORCING LATER THIS EVENING FOR
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO EXPAND IN AREAL COVERAGE ONCE AGAIN
LATER THIS EVENING...INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS
POTENTIAL...WILL KEEP CHC POPS ACROSS THE REGION LATER
TONIGHT...AND LIKELY POPS ACROSS NORTHERN AREAS.

THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY APPEARS TO HAVE SETTLED ACROSS THE NORTH
COUNTRY...AND INTO THE LAKE GEORGE SARATOGA REGION AS OF THIS
TIME. LOCAL HIRESWRF AND HRRR BOTH HINT THAT THIS BOUNDARY MAY
SLIP FURTHER SOUTH THROUGH THIS EVENING...POSSIBLY INTO THE
CAPITAL REGION...BEFORE STALLING AND POSSIBLY LIFTING BACK N
TOWARD DAYBREAK. THIS SHALLOW FRONTAL BOUNDARY MAY PROVIDE
ADDITIONAL FOCUS FOR ADDITIONAL CONVECTION AS WELL
OVERNIGHT...ESP ON THE NORTH SIDE OF FRONTAL BOUNDARY.

ONLY ADDITIONAL CHANGES TO GRIDS AT THIS TIME WAS FOR HOURLY
TEMPS/DEWPOINTS AND WINDS ACCORDING TO RECENT OBS.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 389 IN EFFECT. 18Z KALB SOUNDING SHOWS
INSTABILITY AND SHEAR PRESENT...SUPPORTIVE OF SOME POTENTIAL
SCATTERED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS.
WILL HAVE TO WATCH LOCAL AND STORM SCALE WIND EFFECTS IN THE RIVER
VALLEYS AND IN TERRAIN THAT COULD ENHANCE SHEAR FOR POSSIBLE
ISOLATED TORNADO. INSTABILITY AND SHEAR NOT QUITE WHAT IT WAS
YESTERDAY...BUT ENOUGH FOR SCATTERED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. VIL OF
THE DAY LOOKS TO BE AROUND THE LOWER 50S. CURRENT SCATTERED
ACTIVITY SHOULD EVOLVE INTO A LINE AND TRACK TO THE NORTHEAST
CATSKILLS...CAPITAL DISTRICT AND SOUTHERN VERMONT AND NORTHERN
BERKSHIRES THIS EVENING. OTHER LESS ORGANIZED SCATTERED ACTIVITY
COULD FORM FROM THE MID HUDSON VALLEY TO NW CT AND THE SOUTHERN
BERKSHIRES LATER THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. SOME INDICATIONS IN
SHORT RANGE GUIDANCE THAT CONVECTION IN INTERIOR MID ATLANTIC WILL
TRACK NORTHEAST...AFFECTING THE CATSKILLS...CAPITAL DISTRICT...
SOUTHERN VT AND POINTS SOUTH AND EAST. WILL TRACK TRENDS UPSTREAM
FOR THAT. CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY WILL WEAKEN AND DIMINISH IN COVERAGE
LATER TONIGHT.

LOW TEMPERATURES IN THE 60S...WITH SOME PATCHY FOG TOWARD SUNRISE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY/...
FOOTPRINT OF THE WEAKENING FRONT WILL REMAIN OVER OUR REGION
TOMORROW THROUGH SUNDAY...BUT LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE WILL
DECREASE. STILL...WITH INSTABILITY AND WEAK CONVERGENCE...
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY SHOULD FORM AGAIN EACH
AFTERNOON...BUT LESS COVERAGE EACH DAY SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. UPPER
DYNAMIC SUPPORT ALSO WEAKENS...BUT STILL WILL HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE
FOR ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS...DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH SUNSHINE
AND INSTABILITY WE GET. QUITE A BIT OF CLOUDINESS IN OH VALLEY AND
ACROSS THE APPALACHIANS...BUT WITH UPPER SYSTEM BECOMING ABSORBED
INTO THE MAIN NORTHERN STREAM UPPER IMPULSE IN CANADA...AND SOME
GRADUAL WARMING ALOFT...MAY NOT BE AS MUCH CLOUDINESS. SO...GOING
WITH WARMER GUIDANCE NUMBERS FOR HIGH TEMPERATURES SATURDAY AND
SUNDAY. HIGHS SATURDAY IN THE 80S...SOME 70S HIGHER TERRAIN.
HIGHS SUNDAY A FEW DEGREES WARMER THAN SATURDAY. LOWS SATURDAY
NIGHT AND SUNDAY NIGHT IN THE 60S...SOME 50S SOUTHERN ADIRONDACKS.

UPPER RIDGING BUILDS EAST INTO OUR REGION ALONG WITH BETTER
WARMING AT THE BOUNDARY LAYER. BETTER CAPPING AND ONLY ISOLATED
CONVECTION...PERHAPS FAVORING TERRAIN. HIGHS MONDAY WELL INTO THE
80S TO AROUND 90.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
A STRONG RIDGE AT 500 HPA WILL CONTINUE TO BE IN PLACE FOR MONDAY
NIGHT INTO TUESDAY ACROSS THE NORTHEAST. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR ABOVE
NORMAL WARMTH. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL BE MUGGY ON MON NIGHT WITH MID
60S IN VALLEY AREAS...AND MID TO UPPER 50S ACROSS THE HIGHER
TERRAIN. HIGH TEMPS WILL BE HOT ONCE AGAIN ON TUESDAY...WITH MAX
TEMPS NEAR 90 IN VALLEY AREAS /AND EVEN INTO THE LOW 90S FOR THE MID
HUDSON VALLEY/. WITH THE STRONG RIDGE IN PLACE...SKIES SHOULD REMAIN
MOSTLY SUNNY...WITH JUST SOME PASSING CIRRUS.

A FAST MOVING SHORTWAVE WILL BE MOVING ACROSS SOUTHERN CANADA...AND
THIS WILL PUSH A COLD FRONT ACROSS THE AREA AT SOME POINT TUESDAY
NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. THE MODELS DON/T AGREE ON THE EXACT TIMING OF
THIS FEATURE. HAVE GENERALLY SIDED WITH THE 00 UTC ECMWF...WHICH
BRINGS A SLIGHT CHC FOR CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN AREAS AND CHC POPS FOR
NORTHWEST AREAS FOR TUESDAY NIGHT...AND CHC POPS ACROSS THE ENTIRE
AREA ON WED WITH THE FRONT CROSSING THE AREA ON WED AFTN. HAVE
INCLUDED THUNDER AS THERE SHOULD BE ENOUGH INSTABILITY TO SUPPORT
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. DEPENDING ON THE TIMING OF THE FRONT...WED
MAY CONTINUE TO BE ABOVE NORMAL...WITH MAX TEMPS REACHING THE 80S IN
MANY AREAS.

IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT...CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FOR
WED NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR DRY WEATHER AND LESS
HUMID CONDITIONS WITH JUST SCT DIURNALLY DRIVEN CU. TEMPS WILL BE
NOTICEABLY COOLER...WITH 70S IN MOST AREAS FOR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY
/MID TO UPPER 60S ACROSS THE HIGH TERRAIN/ AND MIN TEMPS IN THE 50S
/UPPER 40S FOR THE SRN/WRN DACKS AND EASTERN CATSKILLS/.

&&

.AVIATION /03Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL SETTLE SOUTHWARD THIS EVENING...BEFORE
STALLING IN THE VICINITY OF KALB AROUND MIDNIGHT. LOW CLOUDS/FOG MAY
DEVELOP IN THE WAKE OF THIS FRONT...ESP AT KGFL AFTER
03Z/SAT...AND KALB AFTER 08Z/SAT. AT KPOU...LOW STRATUS MAY
ENCROACH FROM THE SOUTHEAST CLOSER TO DAYBREAK...WITH POSSIBLE IFR
CIGS.

AS FOR SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM THREAT TONIGHT...IT APPEARS THROUGH
EARLY THIS EVENING...BEST CHANCE WILL BE AT KGFL AND KALB.
THEN...LATER THIS EVENING...AS A DISTURBANCE APPROACHES FROM THE
SOUTHEWEST...AREAL COVERAGE OF SHOWERS/TSTMS MAY INCREASE AT KGFL
AND KALB...BEFORE DECREASING AGAIN TOWARD DAYBREAK. CAN NOT
COMPLETELY RULE OUT A LATE NIGHT SHOWER/TSTM AT KPOU...BUT OVERALL
PROBABILITY APPEARS QUITE LOW AT THIS TIME.

OTHERWISE...CONDITIONS SHOULD GRADUALLY IMPROVE TO MVFR BY
15Z/SAT...THEN VFR BY 17Z...WITH VFR CONTINUING THROUGH 00Z/SUN.
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS/TSTMS MAY IMPACT THE TAF SITES SAT
AFTERNOON/EVENING...BUT OVERALL PROBABILITY OF DIRECTLY IMPACTING
TAF SITES TOO LOW AT THIS TIME TO WARRANT MENTION.

WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT AT KGFL WILL REMAIN MAINLY NORTHEAST
OVERNIGHT AT 5-10 KT. AT KALB...SOUTH WINDS SHOULD SHIFT INTO THE
NORTHEAST LATER THIS EVENING...BEFORE POTENTIALLY VEERING INTO THE
SE AGAIN LATER TONIGHT. AT KPOU...EXPECT MAINLY LIGHT/VARIABLE
WINDS OVERNIGHT. ON SAT...WINDS SHOULD TREND INTO THE SE AND
S...AT 8-12 KT BY LATE MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON. WINDS WILL BE
GUSTY AND VARIABLE IN DIRECTION IN AND NEAR ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT
OCCUR TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY.

OUTLOOK...
SAT-SUN...VFR/MVFR. ISOLD TO SCT SHRA/TSRA.
MON-TUE...VFR...NO SIG WX.
WED...VFR...CHC MVFR WITH SCT SHRA/TSRA.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL REMAIN ACROSS NORTHERN NEW YORK
AND NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. A
DISTURBANCE MOVING ALONG THE BOUNDARY WILL PRODUCE SHOWERS...AND
SCATTERED STRONG TO POTENTIALLY SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS INTO THIS
EVENING ONCE AGAIN. THE BOUNDARY WILL MOVE BACK NORTHWARD AS A
WARM FRONT DURING THE WEEKEND...AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS FROM THE
SOUTHEAST AND THE MID ATLANTIC REGION. HOT AND HUMID WEATHER CAN
BE EXPECTED FOR THE MEMORIAL DAY HOLIDAY...AS TEMPERATURES WILL
RUN WELL ABOVE NORMAL.

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT WITH RELATIVE HUMIDITIES AROUND
100 PERCENT. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TOMORROW
AFTERNOON WITH MINIMUM DAYTIME RELATIVE HUMIDITIES AT AROUND 50-70
PERCENT. RELATIVE HUMIDITIES CLIMBING AGAIN SATURDAY NIGHT TO
AROUND 100 PERCENT. MORE WIDELY SCATTERED THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY
SUNDAY AFTERNOON WITH MINIMUM DAYTIME MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITIES
AT AROUND 50-60 PERCENT.

SOUTH WINDS TONIGHT AT 15 MPH OR LESS WILL CONTINUE TOMORROW AT
AROUND 15 MPH. SOUTH WINDS DIMINISH TO LESS THAN 15 MPH AGAIN
TOMORROW NIGHT...THEN INCREASE BACK TO 15 MPH SUNDAY. THERE MAY BE
SOME GUSTS TO 20 MPH SUNDAY.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
SEVERAL ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED OVER THE
ALBANY HYDRO SERVICE AREA ONCE AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...
WITH A FRONTAL BOUNDARY STATIONARY ACROSS NORTHERN NEW YORK AND
NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND. A DISTURBANCE MOVING ALONG THE BOUNDARY WILL
FOCUS THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.

THERE IS A CHANCE THAT THUNDERSTORMS WILL TRAIN OVER THE WESTERN
MOHAWK VALLEY...SCHOHARIE VALLEY...SOUTHERN ADIRONDACKS...LAKE
GEORGE AND SARATOGA REGIONS THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. EVEN
THOUGH THE BEST CHANCES FOR TRAINING THUNDERSTORMS ARE IN THOSE
AREAS...LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN IS POSSIBLE ANYWHERE IN THE FORECAST
AREA. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES WILL BE WELL ABOVE NORMAL...SO
THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY DOWNPOURS WHICH WILL LIKELY CAUSE
PONDING OF WATER ON POORLY DRAINED LOW LYING AREAS WITH EVEN
ISOLATED FLASH FLOODING POSSIBLE.

HOWEVER...THE THREAT AREA IS STILL SOMEWHAT UNCERTAIN...AND THE
POTENTIAL FOR WIDESPREAD FLASH FLOODING IS NOT EXPECTED AT THIS
TIME. RAPID RISES ARE LIKELY ON SMALLER STREAMS WHERE THE HEAVY
RAIN FALLS...WITH VERY LITTLE RESPONSE ON THE LARGE MAIN STEM
RIVERS.

HOT AND DRIER WEATHER MAY MOVE INTO THE REGION AS EARLY AS
SUNDAY....WHICH WILL ALLOW ANY ELEVATED FLOWS TO DECREASE THROUGH
THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.
