AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
353 PM EDT WED MAY 16 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
IN WAKE OF A STRONG COLD FRONT PASSAGE THIS EVENING...HIGH
PRESSURE APPROACHING FROM THE GREAT LAKES WILL BUILD EASTWARD INTO
OUR REGION ON THURSDAY. THE HIGH WILL REMAIN IN PLACE PROVIDING
DRY CONDITIONS FROM THE END OF THE WEEK THROUGH THE WEEKEND...WITH
A WARMING TREND AS THE AIR MASS MODERATES.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
AS OF 350 PM...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 280 CONTINUES FOR ALL OF
EAST CENTRAL NEW YORK AND ADJACENT WESTERN NEW ENGLAND.

HOWEVER...IT DOES APPEAR DRIER AND MORE STABLE AIR HAS WORKED INTO
THE WESTERN ADIRONDACKS BEHIND THE INITIAL PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH. THE
ACTUAL COLD FRONT IS NOT TOO FAR BEHIND...PUSHING EASTWARD ACROSS
CENTRAL NY...AND THESE BOUNDARIES COULD MERGE OVER EASTERN NY
POSSIBLY ALLOWING CLUSTERS OR BROKEN LINES TO CONSOLIDATE.

AHEAD OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARIES LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IS MORE PREVALENT
WITH SURFACE DEWPOINTS IN THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S WITH A
SOUTHERLY FLOW THROUGH THE HUDSON VALLEY. SURFACE BASED CAPE FROM
THE 18Z KALB SOUNDINGS SHOWS OVER 2000 J/KG WITH 850-500MB LAPSE
RATES OF 6.8C/KM. DEEP LAYER 0-6 KM SHEAR WAS 48 KT WHICH IS
IMPRESSIVE...ALTHOUGH VERY TOP-HEAVY WITH STRONG MID LEVEL FLOW
AROUND 600-500MB. A WIND MAX AT 500MB IS SURGING INTO THE REGION.

ROTATING STORMS WITH SUPERCELL STRUCTURES ARE OCCURRING WITH
DISCRETE CELLS OR CLUSTERS. AGAIN...POSSIBLE CONSOLIDATION INTO
LINES MAY OCCUR AS THE COLD FRONT APPROACHES EARLY THIS EVENING.
LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS WILL BOTH CONTINUE TO BE THREATS.

WILL LIKELY BE ABLE TO CLEAR AT LEAST HALF THE AREA FROM THE SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM WATCH WELL BEFORE THE 9 PM EXPIRATION TIME.

DRIER AND COOLER AIR WILL WORK IN BY LATE EVENING AND ESPECIALLY
AFTER MIDNIGHT AS A WEST-NORTHWEST BREEZE DEVELOPS IN WAKE OF THE
COLD FRONT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY/...
A COOLER AND MUCH DRIER AIR MASS WILL SETTLE IN THURSDAY COURTESY OF
A NORTHWEST BREEZE AND HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING EASTWARD ACROSS THE
GREAT LAKES. DEWPOINTS WILL DROP THROUGH THE 30S THURSDAY AFTERNOON
RESULTING IN COOL FEELING AND REFRESHING CONDITIONS WITH A RESPITE
IN THE RECENT HUMIDITY. COLD ADVECTION WILL BE COUNTERING THE STRONG
MAY SUN WITH GOOD MIXING TO AROUND 800 MB. TEMPS SHOULD REACH NEAR
NORMAL READINGS BUT AGAIN WITH A COOL AND DRY NORTHWEST BREEZE.

WITH SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE FORECAST TO BE PARKED OVER THE AREA
THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING...THIS WILL SET THE STAGE FOR
GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING WITH CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS WITH TEMPS
DROPPING INTO THE 30S TO LOWER 40S. THE COLDEST READINGS WILL BE
OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN AND ESPECIALLY OVER THE WESTERN/SOUTHERN
ADIRONDACKS...WHERE AREAS OF FROST FORMATION ARE POSSIBLE. SOME
ISOLATED POINTS COULD EVEN SEE FREEZING TEMPS IN THE COLDER SPOTS OF
NORTHERN HERKIMER AND HAMILTON COUNTIES. WILL CONTINUE TO MENTION
FROST POTENTIAL IN THE HWO.

ON FRIDAY...SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BECOME ANCHORED OVER THE
EASTERN SEABOARD WHILE HEIGHTS ALOFT RISING AND A UPPER LEVEL RIDGE
BUILDING. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR THE AIR MASS TO BEGIN TO WARM WITH
TEMPS NORMAL BUT WITH LOW HUMIDITY PERSISTING. SO OVERALL A VERY
PLEASANT DAY SHAPING UP FOR FRIDAY. TEMPS WILL NOT BE AS COLD FRIDAY
NIGHT WITH THE MODERATING AIR MASS.

SATURDAY WILL FEATURE EVEN WARMER TEMPS AS 850MB TEMPS RISE TO OVER
+10C WITH A MODEST WESTERLY FLOW. THERE SHOULD CONTINUE TO BE
ABUNDANT SUNSHINE WITH THE RIDGE IN PLACE WITH TEMPS WELL INTO THE
70S TO NEAR 80 ACROSS THE AREA. DEWPOINTS WILL START TO CREEP UP BUT
STILL WELL IN THE COMFORTABLE RANGE.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
A TRANQUIL LONG TERM PORTION OF THE FORECAST AS WE TRANSITION FROM
THE COOLER CYCLONIC FLOW ALOFT ON FRIDAY TO BUILDING HEIGHTS AND
SURFACE PRESSURES FOR THE WEEKEND.  MODEL CONSENSUS IS RATHER HIGH
CONFIDENCE FOR A DRY AND SEASONABLE TO ABOVE SEASONABLE
TEMPERATURES.

MEANWHILE...WE WILL BE MONITORING THE EVOLUTION OF THE CUT OFF
UPPER LOW OVER THE SOUTHEAST CONUS LATER INTO THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY
NEXT WEEK.  HERE...THE MODEL SUITE DIVERGES WITH
PLACEMENT...MOISTURE CONTENT...AND EVENTUAL TRACK OF THIS SYSTEM.
THE LATEST ECMWF IS THE MOST AGGRESSIVE WITH TRACKING THIS SYSTEM
NORTHWARD WITH AN INCREASE PROBABILITY OF SHOWERS LATER MONDAY.  THE
GFS HANGS ONTO THE RIDGE LONGER LIMITING THE POTENTIAL FOR SHOWERS.
THE GGEM IS IN CLOSER AGREEMENT WITH THE ECMWF...WITH A FURTHER
INLAND TRACK OF THIS SYSTEM.  PER HPC COLLABORATION AND NEIGHBORING
OFFICES...WE WILL CONTINUE ALONG THE SLIGHT CHANCE PROBABILITIES AND
KEEP TEMPERATURES RATHER MILD.

OVERALL...TEMPERATURES WILL AVERAGE AT OR ABOVE NORMAL WITH
PRECIPITATION BELOW NORMAL.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH #280 IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 PM EDT INCLUDES
ALL TAF SITES. STRATUS FINALLY LIFTED AND BURNED OFF. NOW WE ARE
TAPPING THE UNSTABLE AIR MASS ACROSS REGION. A STRONG NEGATIVELY
TILTED MID LEVEL TROUGH APPROACHING. HAVE A PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH
ACROSS AREA WITH A COLD FRONT ACROSS WESTERN NEW YORK. BOTH WILL
MOVE ACROSS REGION THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING TRIGGERING CONVECTION.
HAVE ADDRESSED THE THREAT FOR CONVECTION AT EACH TAF SITE WITH A TWO
HOUR TEMPO GROUP WITH MVFR CONDITIONS. A PERIOD BRIEF PERIOD IFR
WILL OCCUR WITH ANY CONVECTION.  OTHERWISE VFR CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED WITH CLOUD COVER DECREASING TONIGHT. EXPECT SOME DIURNAL
CUMULUS TO DEVELOP ON THURSDAY.

WINDS WILL S-SW IN WARM SECTOR WITH A SHIFT TO W-NW WITH THE PASSAGE
OF THE COLD FRONT.

.OUTLOOK...
THU-SUN...VFR. NO SIG WX.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
...MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES WILL DROP TO AROUND 25 TO 30
PERCENT THURSDAY AFTERNOON...

IN WAKE OF A STRONG COLD FRONT PASSAGE THIS EVENING...HIGH PRESSURE
APPROACHING FROM THE GREAT LAKES WILL BUILD EASTWARD INTO OUR
REGION ON THURSDAY. THE HIGH WILL REMAIN IN PLACE PROVIDING DRY
CONDITIONS FROM THE END OF THE WEEK THROUGH THE WEEKEND...WITH A
WARMING TREND AS THE AIR MASS MODERATES.

RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES WILL INCREASE TO AROUND 80 TO 95 PERCENT
TONIGHT...THEN DROP TO MINIMUM VALUES BETWEEN 25 AND 30 PERCENT
THURSDAY AFTERNOON. RH VALUES WILL RECOVER TO AROUND 75 TO 95
PERCENT THURSDAY NIGHT.

WINDS TONIGHT WILL BECOME WEST-NORTHWEST AROUND 5 TO 15
MPH...SHIFTING TO THE NORTHWEST ON THURSDAY AT SIMILAR SPEEDS. WINDS
THURSDAY NIGHT WILL BE NORTHWEST AROUND 5 MPH OR LESS.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
NO WIDESPREAD HYDRO PROBLEMS ARE ANTICIPATED THROUGH THE NEXT 5 DAYS.

A QUARTER TO HALF AN INCH OF RAIN IS POSSIBLE INTO THIS EVENING WITH
SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS...WITH LOCALIZED AMOUNTS OVER AN INCH
POSSIBLE IN THUNDERSTORMS. THIS MAY RESULT IN SOME MINOR RIVER RISES
IN SOME SPOTS...AND PONDING OF WATER ON ROADS AND POOR DRAINAGE
LOCATIONS.

OTHERWISE....DRY WEATHER IS EXPECTED FROM THURSDAY THROUGH THE
WEEKEND...WHICH WILL ALLOW RIVERS TO RECEDE CLOSER TO SEASONAL
LEVELS.
