AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BINGHAMTON NY
746 PM EDT MON APR 25 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A SLOW MOVING WARM FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION
TONIGHT...ACCOMPANIED BY SHOWERS...ALONG WITH A FEW THUNDERSTORMS
IN NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA. A WARMER AND RELATIVELY MOIST AIR MASS
WILL COVER THE AREA TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...WITH HIT AND MISS
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ANTICIPATED.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
WARM FRONT HAS PROGRESSED INTO THE NORTHERN TIER OF PA. RAPID
CLEARING IN THE WARMER AIR MASS WILL PUSH TEMPS INTO THE MID 70S
OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS OVER THE FAR SOUTHERN FA. THE SOUTHERN
TIER OF NY COULD MAKE A RUN AT THE UPPER 60S OR 70F AS A FEW
BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS ARE EXPECTED AS FAR NORTH AS KBGM.

LATEST HRRR REFLECTIVITY FORECAST IS IN AGREEMENT WITH OUR GENERAL
THINKING THAT ISOLATED CONVECTION WILL FIRE OVER NORTHERN AND
CENTRAL PA BY 20-21Z...IN THE MORE UNSTABLE AIR. FORECAST MAX
TEMPS WILL RESULT IN CAPES APPROACHING 500-800 J/KG. WITH PLENTY
OF ATMOSPHERIC TURNING (0-3KM BULK SHEAR ABOVE 60KTS), ANY
CONVECTION WHICH FORMS WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO ORGANIZE ITSELF
INTO ROTATING SUPERCELLS. AN ISOLATED TORNADO THREAT EXISTS OVER
CENTRAL PA, AND POTENTIALLY OUR SOUTHERN MOST ZONES.

HRRR ALSO IS SUGGESTIVE OF A SQUALL LINE MOVING THROUGH THE SOUTHERN
TIER OF NY AND NORTHEASTERN PA TOWARD SUNSET, AHEAD OF APPROACHING
SHORT WAVE. THIS APPEARS OVERDONE, AND I DON'T SEE ANY UPSTREAM
EVIDENCE OF THIS FORMATION. BUT WE WILL KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON
DEVELOPMENT AS WE DO HAVE PARAMETERS IN THE WARM SECTOR CONDUCIVE
TO ISOLATED SEVERE.

PVS DISC...
A WARM FRONT EXTENDS FROM THE LOWER OHIO VALLEY INTO SOUTHERN PA
THIS MORNING. A THICK CLOUD SHIELD EXISTS NORTH OF THE FRONT, WITH
LIGHT PRECIPITATION FALLING IN THE ISENTROPIC LIFT ALONG THE TWIN
TIERS AND INVOF SHORT WAVE ALOFT.

AS SHORT WAVE ENERGY MOVES EASTWARD, THE PRECIPITATION WILL TAPER
OFF TO WIDELY SCATTERED LIGHT SHOWERS LATE THIS MORNING.

MUCH WARMER AIRMASS EXISTS SOUTH OF THE WARM FRONT. LATEST RUC
PROGS SUGGEST THE WARM FRONT WILL MAKE IT THROUGH OUR SOUTHERN
MOST FA, ALLOWING SOME BREAKS OF SUN OVER LUZERNE, SOUTHERN WAYNE,
AND PIKE COUNTIES. THIS WOULD ALLOW TEMPS TO BREAK INTO MID 70S BY
LATE AFTERNOON. UPPER 60S COULD MAKE IT AS FAR NORTH AS THE
SOUTHERN TIER OF NY. BUT IT WILL BE A SHARP GRADIENT AND WILL
LIKELY REQUIRE ALTERATIONS THROUGHOUT THE DAY.

TEMPS BREAKING INTO THE MID 70S WOULD GENERATE ABOUT 500-800 J/KG
OF CAPE ACROSS OUR FAR SOUTHERN FA. WITH PLENTY OF SHEAR AVAILABLE
(0-3KM BULK SHEAR IN EXCESS OF 50 KTS), ANY CONVECTION WHICH FIRES
IN THE WARM SECTOR WOULD HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME ORGANIZED
AND SEVERE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY/...
UPDATED AS OF 330 PM... SFC WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS EXPECTED TO
LIE ACROSS UPSTATE NY AND NRN NEW ENGLAND TUE THROUGH WED. THE
BEST ISEN LIFT AND 850 MB CONVERGENCE SHOULD THUS RESIDE N OF OUR
CWA...WITH THE MOST WIDESPREAD PCPN COVERAGE THERE.

CNTRL NY/NE PA SHOULD BE SOLIDLY IN THE WARM SECTOR...WITH A
WARMER MORE UNSTABLE AMS LIKELY MAKING IT ALL THE WAY TO THE NRN
FINGER LAKES/MOHAWK VLY/SRN TUG HILL ZONES BY MIDDAY TUE. BUFKIT
PROFILES FROM TUE AFTN ALL THE WAY THROUGH MUCH OF WED DISPLAY ML
CAPES OF 500-1000 J/KG...OCCASIONALLY UP TO 1200-1300 DURING PEAK
HEATING EACH DAY...ALG WITH FAIRLY STG DEEP-LAYERED SHEAR.
HOWEVER...THE MAIN QUESTION THIS PD IS WILL WE HAVE A TRIGGERING
MECHANISM? THE LATEST NAM/GFS/SREF OUTPUT HINTS AT THE PASSAGE OF
AN UPPER-LVL WAVE TUE AFTN INTO THE EVE (ALTHOUGH THE MOST ROBUST
PART OF THE WAVE STAYS TO OUR W IN THE OH VLY)...AND PERHAPS
ANOTHER ONE WED AFTN. GIVEN THE BROAD FAST SWLY FLOW ALOFT...AND
THE POTENTIAL FOR MCV FORMATION...THESE WAVES WILL BE DIFFICULT TO
DECIPHER OR TIME THIS FAR OUT. FOR NOW...WE'LL STICK WITH
SCATTERED VERBIAGE THROUGH WED EVE.

LATER WED NIGHT THROUGH THU...THE MAIN LARGE-SCALE TROUGH AND
ASSOCD COLD FRONT IS PROGGED TO MOVE THROUGH THE REGION FROM W TO
E. THERE REMAIN MODEL TIMING DIFFERENCES...WITH THE GFS FASTER TO
BRING IN MORE WIDESPREAD SHRA/TSRA AFTER 06Z THU...WHILE THE NAM
HOLDS IT OFF UNTIL 12-18Z. FOR NOW...WE'LL LEAN TOWARDS THE FASTER
GFS SCENARIO. GIVEN DEEP SRLY FLOW AHEAD OF THE FRONT...COOLING
ALOFT FROM THE APPROACHING UPPER TROUGH...AND DECENT WIND
FIELDS...A BAND OF +SHRA...AND PERHAPS STG TSTMS IS ENTIRELY
POSSIBLE. WE'LL HAVE LIKELY POPS FOR NOW.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
LOPRES SYSTEM WL BE DEPARTING THE NERN U.S. AT THE START OF THE LONG
TERM. CDFNT WL BE OFF THE ERN SEABOARD BY 12Z FRIDAY WITH SOME CLDR
AIR FILTERING INTO THE REGION. H8 TEMPS DROP BLO 0C DRG THE DAY.
EXPECT TEMPS ON FRIDAY TO WARM INTO THE 50S THO BLO NORMAL AND WELL
BLO DAYTIME HIGHS FM THE PREVIOUS DAY AS NW FLOW AND SOME WRAP-ARND
MOISTURE RMN IN PLACE.

HIPRES MVS IN FOR THE WEEKEND WITH UL RIDGE AXIS OVR THE AREA LATE
IN THE WEEKEND WITH 570DM HGTS BUILDING SAT NGT. MED RANGE MODELS
ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT THRU ABOUT 00Z SUN BFR SOLNS BEGIN TO DIVERGE.
THE 12Z EC IS MOST AMPLIFIED WITH A 580 RIDGE OVR THE CWA BY THE END
OF THE LONG TERM PD. BOTH THE CMC/GFS HV RIDGE OVR REGION THRU 12Z
SUN BUT QUICKLY BREAK THIS DOWN AS A STRONG UL LOW TRAVERSES THE WRN
GREAT LKS AFT THIS TIME. HGTS LOWER THRU THE END OF THE LONG TERM
WITH NEXT BATCH OF RAIN/CDFNT MVG THRU SUN/SUN NGT. IN CONTRAST,
LATEST EC BRINGS A WMFNT INTO THE AREA LATE IN THE PD WITH INITIAL
CHC FOR POPS ON SUNDAY AS THE BNDRY APPCHS. FROPA PROGGED TO HOLD
OFF UNTIL SOMETIME DRG THE DAY MONDAY. THIS IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT
WITH HPC GUIDANCE AND HV FOLLOWED FOR THE END OF THE LONG TERM. MAY
SEE SOME THUNDER LATE IN THE PD AS SHOWALTERS FCST TO GO NEGATIVE.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
WARM AND MOIST AIRMASS WITH WARM FRONT NR THE NY/PA BORDER WILL
LEAD TO COMPLICATED TAF FCST NEXT 24 HRS. VFR CONDITIONS PERSIST
SOUTH OF THE WARM FRONT AT KAVP AND WILL LIKELY REMAIN PREDOMINANT
THRU 00Z WED. MAY SEE SOME BRIEF MVFR VSBYS OVERNIGHT IN HUMID
AIRMASS WITH VSBYS ARND 3SM.

FURTHER TO THE NORTH CLOSER TO FRONT, MVFR AND IFR CIGS WILL
DOMINATE. ONLY EXCEPTION MAY BE KELM WHERE CIGS REMAIN ABOVE
1000FT. HOWEVER, IF SKIES COMPLETELY CLEAR, IFR VSBY RESTRICTIONS
WILL BE POSSIBLE BUT THINK MORE LIKELY SCENARIO WILL BE LOW MVFR
DECK FROM APPROACHING RAIN AREA.

REMAINDER OF TERMINALS WILL SEE MAINLY MVFR RESTRICTIONS BY 02Z
WITH CONDITIONS DROPPING TO IFR AFTER MIDNIGHT. EXPECT IFR THROUGH
EARLY-MID MORNING BEFORE CONDITIONS SLOWLY IMPROVE TO MVFR.

WINDS OUT OF THE SOUTHEAST AT KAVP ON SOUTHERN SIDE OF FRONT WITH
NORTHEAST FLOW ELSEWHERE THIS EVENING. WINDS SWITCH AROUND TO THE
SOUTH FROM SOUTH TO NORTH DURING THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD WITH SPEEDS
FROM 5-10KTS EXPECTED.
