AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BINGHAMTON NY
434 PM EDT WED SEP 28 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
AN UPPER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE GREAT LAKES WILL MOVE
SLOWLY EAST TONIGHT AND THURSDAY...AND WILL PUSH A FRONT THROUGH
THE REGION ON THURSDAY. BANDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE
EXPECTED...WHICH COULD CAUSE FLASH FLOODING. THE WEATHER WILL
REMAIN UNSETTLED AND BECOME COLDER THE END OF THIS WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
UPDATED AT 4 PM...
BANDS OF SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS MOVING THROUGH THE CWA
ATTM. BEST INSTABILITY IS IN NE PA EXTENDING INTO SOUTH CENTRAL
NY. CAPES 1 TO 2K AND NEGATIVE LIS. FOR NOW BANDS MOVING AT A GOOD
ENOUGH CLIP THAT MAX RAINFALL RATES ARE MOSTLY AROUND AN INCH.
THIS MAY SLOW DOWN SOME TONIGHT BUT THE COVERAGE IS NOT BAD FOR
NOW. FETCH IS FROM THE SOUTH WITH MORE THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING
OVER SE PA HEADING THIS WAY. WITH MULTIPLE WAVES OF RAIN ISOLATED
FLASH FLOODING COULD OCCUR. IN LUZERNE LACKAWANNA AND WYOMING
WHERE FLOODING OCCURED TUE EVE MORE WIDESPREAD FLOODING IS
POSSIBLE.

LATE EVENING INTO LATE TONIGHT THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL
LOSE SOME OF THE HEAVIER RAIN BUT CONTINUE INTO THURSDAY. SOME
DRYING MAY WORK INTO THE FAR WEST LATE TONIGHT IF THE OCCLUDED
FRONT MOVES EAST SOME.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY/...
UPDATED AT 4 PM...
FLOOD WATCH WILL CONTINUE WITH A NORTH TO SOUTH BAND OF RAIN
MOVING EAST WITH A FRONT AHEAD OF THE UPPER LEVEL CLOSED LOW AS IT
FILLS AND MOVES EAST PICKING UP SPEED. THIS BAND OF RAIN WILL MOVE
EAST OF THE CWA LATE IN THE DAY. THIS RAIN WILL NOT BE AS INTENSE
AS TODAY OR YESTERDAY BUT THE MOVEMENT WILL BE SLOW.

WHILE THE INITIAL UL LOW LIFTS OUT ANOTHER ONE TAKES ITS PLACE.
THIS ONE DIGS SE THROUGH THE WRN GREAT LAKES THU NGT AND FRI. THIS
CLOSES OFF AND CONTINUES TO MOVE SE INTO THE MID ATLANTIC STATES
SATURDAY. FOR US THIS WILL MEAN OCCASIONAL SHOWERS AND VERY COLD
TEMPERATURES COMPARED TO WHAT WE HAVE TODAY. HIGHS PROBABLY IN
THE U40S TO L50S SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. RAIN INTENSITY WILL BE
MOSTLY LIGHT SO FLOODING NOT EXPECTED THIS WEEKEND.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
MODELS IN A VERY GENERAL AGREEMENT WITH THE FORECAST FOR THE END
OF THE WEEKEND AND THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK. THEY HAVE A DEEP
TROUGH SLOWLY MOVING OFF TO THE EAST, WITH SEVERAL LOW PRESSURE
CENTERS ROTATING INTO THE TROUGH. THIS KEEPS RAIN SHOWERS A
POSSIBILITY FOR SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY, BUT ON THE LOW END OF
SLIGHT CHANCE, AT LEAST FOR NOW. THE POPS DROP AS THE TROUGH
PUSHES EASTWARD.

IT IS WHAT THE TROUGH DOES NEXT THAT THE MODELS BEGIN TO DISAGREE,
ALTHOUGH THERE IS SLIGHTLY BETTER AGREEMENT THIS AFTERNOON THAN
THIS MORNING. THE ECMWF KEEPS A VERY STRONG TROUGH WITH ITS AXIS
JUST EAST OF MAINE. IT ALSO SHOWS WHAT COULD BE THE BEGINNING OF
AN OMEGA BLOCK WITH THE RIDGE AXIS THROUGH THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY.
THIS KEEPS THE CWA IN A NORTHERLY FLOW FOR THE END OF THE
FORECAST PACKAGE. THE GFS HAD MORE PROGRESSIVE WAVES MOVING
THROUGH, BUT IS NOW SHOWING HINTS AT A LARGE RIDGE TRYING TO BUILD
OVER THE EAST COAST. IT DOES NOT QUITE HAVE THE OMEGA BLOCK
FORMATION, BUT IT IS SHOWING THAT WAVES WILL BE BLOCKED FOR A FEW
DAYS. THUS, AFTER SUNDAY, THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST PACKAGE
LOOKS MUCH COOLER THAN THIS WEEK, ALTHOUGH MUCH DRIER THAN THE
LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TO THE WEST, CONTINUES TO BRING MOISTURE TO
THE REGION. THIS IS ALLOWING WAVES OF RAIN SHOWERS TO MOVE
THROUGH. THIS IS ACCOMPANIED WITH LOWER CIGS, LOWER VSBYS, AND
POSSIBLY SOME THUNDERSTORMS. SO, CONDITIONS, WHICH ARE ANY WHERE
FROM IFR UP TO VFR WILL DETERIORATE TONIGHT. THERE MAY BE SOME
BREAKS IN CLOUD COVER, WHICH WILL ALLOW A LOW STRATUS DECK OR EVEN
FOG TO FORM OVER NIGHT. IT IS QUITE POSSIBLE TO SEE IFR TO LIFR
TONIGHT. CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE MID TO LATE TOMORROW MORNING.

WINDS ARE GENERALLY OUT OF THE SOUTH SOUTH EAST THIS AFTERNOON.
THEY WILL DIMINISH TONIGHT AND BECOME LIGHT AND VARIABLE IN MANY
LOCATIONS. TOMORROW THEY WILL PICK UP OUT OF THE SOUTH AT 5 TO 10
KTS.
