AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BINGHAMTON NY
1024 AM EDT TUE APR 26 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A WARM FRONT WILL SLOWLY MOVE THROUGH THE REGION TODAY BRINGING
MORE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE AREA.
A WARM AND RELATIVELY MOIST AIRMASS WILL REMAIN OVER THE REGION
TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT...WITH HIT AND MISS SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS. A COLD FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH THE AREA THURSDAY
MORNING WITH WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS
FOLLOWED BY A RETURN TO MORE SEASONAL TEMPERATURES.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
UPDATED AS OF 10 AM (14Z)... VSBL SAT IMAGERY SHOWS MAINLY CLEAR
SKIES ACROSS NE PA LATE THIS MORNING...WITH MORE CLOUD DEBRIS UP
OVER CNTRL NY. SFC ANALYSIS WOULD PLACE THE WARM FRNTL BOUNDARY
NEAR THE PA/NY BORDER...MOVING GRADUALLY NWD. STG INSOLATION OVER
NE PA/PTNS OF NY'S SRN TIER THROUGH EARLY-MID AFTN SHOULD PROMOTE
FAIRLY ROBUST DESTABILIZATION. IN FACT...MODIFYING THE 12Z PIT
SOUNDING WOULD POTENTIALLY YIELD ML CAPES OF 1000-1500. IF YOU
COMBINE THIS WITH STRENGTHENING/VEERING WIND PROFILES IN THE LOW-
MID LEVELS (NEAR ABV MENTIONED WARM FRONT)...STG/SVR CONVECTION
AGAIN SEEMS LIKE A POSSIBILITY THIS AFTN/EVE.

AS FAR AS ANY TRIGGERING MECHANISMS GO...PVA ON THE LEADING EDGE
OF A PROBABLE CONVECTIVELY-INDUCED UPPER-LVL WAVE...WAS LEADING TO
SCATTERED SHRA/TSRA AS OF LATE MORNING IN WRN PA/NY...WITH MORE
ISOLD ACTIVITY OVER THE FINGER LAKES/MOHAWK VALLEY AREAS. BY MID-
LATE AFTN...WE EXPECT SCATTERED SHRA/TSRA ACROSS OUR WRN/NRN
ZONES...ASSOCD WITH THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED SHRT WV...AND
ADDITIONAL ACTIVITY OVER NE PA/WRN CATSKILLS...CLOSER TO THE
925-850 MB THETA-E RIDGE AXIS. THIS ACTIVITY WILL LIKELY LINGER
WELL INTO THE EVE HOURS.

MAX TEMP FORECAST FOR THIS AFTN SEEMS ON TRACK...AS 925/850 TEMPS
AND EXPECTED MIXING LEVELS SUPPORT 75-80F.

...PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
AT 09Z...LOCAL RADARS SHOW JUST ISOLATED LIGHT SHOWERS OVER THE
LAKE PLAIN. SFC WARM FRONT REMAINS NEAR THE NY/PA BORDER WITH
LITTLE NORTHWARD ADVANCEMENT EXPECTED UNTIL DAYTIME HEATING BEGINS.
LATER THIS MORNING BOUNDARY WILL CONTINUE LIFTING NORTH AS SFC
LOW PRES ADVANCES THROUGH THE UPPER GREAT LAKES. BY LATE THIS
AFTERNOON WARM FRONT SHOULD RESIDE NORTH OF THE FORECAST AREA.
WITH DIURNAL HEATING, AIRMASS WILL DESTABILIZE WITH MORE WIDESPREAD
CONVECTION LIKELY OVER THE NORTHERN CWA FROM THE EASTERN FINGER
LAKES REGION TO THE WESTERN MOHAWK VALLEY AND SCATTERED ACTIVITY
SOUTH. CONVECTIVE PARAMETERS INDICATE CAPE VALUES FROM 1000-1500
J/KG WITH LI'S AROUND -2/-4. THIS INDICATES AN AIRMASS MORE THAN
UNSTABLE ENOUGH FOR CONVECTION AND BULK SHEAR VALUES ALTHOUGH NOT
REAL EXCITING ARE SUFFICIENT ENOUGH TO SUPPORT POSSIBLE SEVERE
CONVECTION. THEREFORE THE POTENTIAL IS THERE FOR A FEW THUNDERSTORMS
TO BECOME SEVERE LATER TODAY THROUGH EARLY EVENING, WITH THE MAIN
THREAT DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL.

WITH T85 AROUND 14C ALONG WITH SUNNY BREAKS EXPECTED OVER MOST
AREAS MAX TEMPS WILL RANGE FROM THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 70S WITH THE
NORMALLY WARMER VALLEY AREAS IN THE UPPER 70S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
TONIGHT...MODELS ARE INDICATING A SHORT WAVE IN FAST UPPER LEVEL
SOUTHWEST FLOW MAY CROSS THE REGION DURING THE EVENING HOURS. WILL
CONTINUE WITH HIGH CHC POPS FOR SHRA/TSRA THROUGH LATE EVENING
THEN LOWER POPS AS THIS FEATURE ALONG WITH AIRMASS STABILIZATION
TAKES PLACE DUE TO LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING.

WEDNESDAY...AREA WILL REMAIN IN THE WARM SECTOR WITH UPPER LEVEL
TROF WELL TO OUR WEST. AIRMASS OVER THE REGION WILL REMAIN
RELATIVELY MOIST BUT MODEL SOUNDINGS DO INDICATE LESS INSTABILITY
DUE TO MID LEVEL WARMING AND POSSIBLE CAP. WILL CONTINUE WITH CHC
POPS INCREASING THE CHANCES DURING THE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING
WITH DAYTIME HEATING AND POSSIBLE FAST MOVING SHORT WAVES IN UPPER
LEVEL FLOW. TEMPS WILL REMAIN MILD WITH SAME AIRMASS IN PLACE,
GENERALLY MID 70S.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT...THE LAST IN A SERIES OF SFC LOW PRES SYSTEMS
TRACKING FROM THE GULF STATES INTO THE GREAT LAKES WILL BRING AN
OCCLUDED FRONT NEAR THE WESTERN PTN OF THE FA TOWARD MORNING.
WILL INCREASE POPS AFTER MIDNIGHT TO LIKELY FOR SHRA ALONG WITH
THE CHC FOR TSRA. OVERNIGHT TEMPS WILL BE MILD UNDER SOUTHWEST
FLOW LOWS GENERALLY AROUND 60.

FOR THURSDAY, WOUND UP STORM SYSTEM BACK TO THE WEST WL BRING AN
OCCLUDED FRONT THRU THE REGION. SHOWERS AND A CHC FOR THUNDERSTORMS
WL BE PRESENT DRG THE MRNG HRS WITH SHOWALTERS DROPPING BLO 0 FOR A
TIME. THUS, HV INCLUDED CHC FOR THUNDER OVR ALL AREAS AND WITH
SIGNIFICANT MOISTURE MVG IN AHD OF WV, HV BUMPED POPS TO LKLY ACRS
THE ENTIRE CWA. AS THE FRONT MVS EAST OF THE REGION RAIN CHCS WL
TAPER OFF THO NOT DIMINISH COMPLETELY AS MAIN TROF HANGS BACK TO THE
WEST. THIS TROF/UL LOW WL SLOWLY WORK ITS WAY ACRS ERN U.S./CANADA

PATTERN RMNS THE SAME WITH INITIAL UL TROF LINGERING ACRS ERN U.S.
THRU EARLY IN THE WEEKEND. RIDGING BUILDS IN LATE IN ON SATURDAY

PREV DISCUSSION BLO...
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
