AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
145 PM EDT WED JUL 18 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL SAG FROM THE SLOWLY SOUTH ACROSS SOUTHEAST NEW
YORK AND SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...STALLING
ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC STATES THURSDAY NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL
BUILD INTO THE REGION FROM ONTARIO AND QUEBEC THURSDAY BRINGING MUCH
LESS HUMID AND MORE SEASONABLE CONDITIONS TO THE REGION...HOWEVER
LOW PRESSURE RIPPLING EAST ALONG THE STALLED FRONT TO OUR SOUTH WILL
PUSH CLOUDS AND SCATTERED SHOWERS INTO THE SOUTHERN PARTS OF THE
REGION FRIDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL TAKE CONTROL TO START THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 125 PM EDT...BASED ON TEMP/DEWPOINT OBS OVER THE PAST FEW
HOURS...A HEAT ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE MID HUDSON
VALLEY...CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN TACONICS...AND LITCHFIELD COUNTY
UNTIL 7 PM. THE COMBINATION OF TEMPS CLIMBING INTO THE LOWER TO
MID 90S WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE LOWER 70S HAVE RESULTED IN HEAT
INDEX VALUES EXCEEDING 100 IN THESE AREAS. COOLER TEMPS AND LESS
HUMID CONDITIONS ARE OCCURRING FARTHER NORTH.

UPDATE FOR ISSUANCE OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 490 FOR AREAS
SOUTH AND EAST OF THE CAPITAL REGION INCLUDING
GREENE...ULSTER...DUTCHESS...COLUMBIA...BERKSHIRE AND LITCHFIELD
COUNTIES.

OVERALL THINKING HAS NOT CHANGED SINCE EARLY THIS MORNING...WITH
THE SEVERE THREAT FOCUSED ON AREAS SOUTH AND EAST OF THE CAPITAL
REGION. OBSERVATIONS AT NOON CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THIS
THINKING...AS THE FIRST FRONTAL BOUNDARY DEPICTED WELL BY STRATUS
CLOUD DECK DRAPED FROM COASTAL MAINE SOUTHWESTWARD THROUGH
SOUTHERN VERMONT AND THE CAPITAL REGION...MOHAWK/SCHOHARIE VALLEY
THROUGH THE WESTERN/SOUTHERN TIER OF NY. EVEN THOUGH SURFACE DEW
POINTS ARE STILL RELATIVELY HIGH IN THIS AREA...MORE STABLE AIR IS
SLOWLY WORKING IN...WITH SURFACE PRESSURE RISES NOTED IMMEDIATELY
NORTH OF THIS BOUNDARY. THE REAL DEW POINT BOUNDARY IS STILL
DISPLACED FARTHER NORTH OVER NORTHERN NEW YORK AND NEW ENGLAND AND
WILL SLOWLY DRIFT SOUTHWARD.

THERE IS QUITE A GRADIENT TO THE SURFACE BASED CAPE SETTING
UP...WITH ALREADY 2000-3000 J/KG JUST SOUTH OF THE CAPITAL REGION
TO NEAR ZERO ACROSS NORTHERN AREAS. SUNNY SKIES IN THE WARM
SECTOR WILL CONTINUE TO RESULT IN FURTHER DESTABILIZATION WITH
FORECAST CAPE VALUES EXPECTED AROUND 2500-4000 J/KG THIS
AFTERNOON. WITH THE SOUTHWARD ADVANCING BOUNDARY AND DEEP LAYER
SHEAR OF AROUND 30-40 KT...THERE WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR
ORGANIZED DEEP CONVECTION WITH MULTICELL CLUSTERS AND BOWING
SEGMENTS.

12Z SOUNDINGS INDICATED BETTER MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES AT OKX AND
CHH...WHICH COULD EXTEND INTO OUR SOUTHERN AREAS NEAR KPOU. SO
WIND APPEARS TO BE THE MAIN THREAT...ALTHOUGH LARGE HAIL CANNOT BE
RULED OUT ESPECIALLY WHERE MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES REMAIN STEEP.
WILL ALSO CONTINUE TO MENTION DOWNPOURS WITH ANY T-STORMS WITH
HIGH PWATS OF 1.50 TO NEAR 2.00 INCHES.

CONVECTION SHOULD DECREASE TOWARDS SUNSET AS THE BOUNDARY
CONTINUES TO PROGRESS SOUTHWARD...ENDING THE SEVERE THREAT.

CDFNT REACHES LONG ISLAND SOUND THIS EVENING...DECELERATING ACROSS
THE MID ATLC STATES. NAM/00 UTC ECMWF BRING SUFFICIENT DRYING INTO
FCA TO CLEAR SKIES IN MOST AREAS TNGT...EXCEPT ALONG S TIER OF FCA
WHERE WK WVS OF LOW PRESSURE ALONG STALLING FRONT KEEP CLOUDS IN
PLACE. TD WILL DROP INTO THE 50S INS MOST AREAS AND LOW 60S
SOUTHEAST...WITH CONDITIONS BCMG MORE COMFORTABLE. WINDS WILL TURN
N OVERNIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
THUR 500HPA TROF AXIS SWEEPS E OF RGN...SFC HIGH AXIS BUILDS SE FM
ONT/QB..AND MOST OF AREA WILL BE IN STRONG SUBSIDENCE WITH NOTHING
MORE THAN FAIR WX CU.  AS HAS BEEN THE CASE THE PST FEW RUNS..THE
MDL SUITE CONTS TO STALL TDYS CDFNT E/W ACROSS MID ATLC STATES WITH
12UTC NAM/GEM DOING SO NR MASON DIXON LINE. WHILE N PTNS OF FCA WILL
SEE SUNNY SKIES...CLOUDS WILL BE ENOUGH TO BRING PS CONTS IN MID
HUD VLY AND CT. GEM EVENG BRINGS THICKER CLOUDS AND THREAT OF MORE
-SHRA TO S TIER THU.

THU NT AND FRI 500HPA SHORT WV RIPPLES EAST ACROSS THE FRONT
STALLED NR MASON/DIXON LINE WITH WK CYCLOGEN RESPONSE IN
GFS/NAM WHILE GEM EXITS THIS FEATURE AS IT WAS PROBABLY 12 HOURS
FASTER IN ITS HANDLING. THE 12UTC NAM IS MORE AGGRESSIVE PUSHING
CLOUDS AND THREAT OF -SHRA AS FAR N AS MHWK VLY DURING THE DAY
FRI. THE GFS HAS THE SAME FEATURES ALL 50-75 MILES FURTHER S...BUT
STILL SUG QUITE A BIT OF CLOUDS ACROSS MID HUD VL AND W CT.

WITH THIS MUCH CLOUDINESS TO THE SOUTH...TEMPS WILL BE COOLER
SOUTH AND WARMER FURTHER N WHERE SKIES WILL REMAIN MS. TEMPS FRI N
AREAS WILL REACH MID 70S HIR TRRN TO LOW 80S IN VLYS...BUT STRUGGLE
TO GET OUT OF THE 60S AND LOW 70S ALONG S TIER IN THE CLOUDS.

FRIDAY NT WEAK 500 HPA EXITS RGN AND FRONTAL BOUNDARY SAGS SOUTH
OUT OF RANGE...AS SFC HIGH BUILDS ACROSS NY/NEW ENG SAT SLIDING
OFFSHORE SAT NT. SAT SHOULD BE A DRY DAY WITH COMFORTABLE
HUMIDITY...LIGHT WINDS AND SEASONABLE TEMPS.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THE LONG TERM PERIOD IS EXPECTED TO START DRY WITH THE POSSIBILITY
OF SOME UNSETTLED WEATHER LATE IN THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

TEMPS AND HUMIDITY WILL START TO INCREASE SLOWLY AS THE RIDGE OF
HIGH PRESSURE SLIDES OFF THE EASTERN SEABOARD AND A RETURN FLOW
STARTS TO DEVELOP. DRY WEATHER IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH
SUNDAY MORNING WITH WIDELY SCATTERED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS DEVELOPING
SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND CONTINUING INTO SUNDAY EVENING AS A COLD FRONT
DROPS SOUTHEAST TOWARD THE SAINT LAWRENCE VALLEY. EXPECT A BETTER
CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MONDAY INTO MONDAY EVENING AS
THE COLD FRONT WORKS SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH THE FA ENDING UP ACROSS
SOUTHEAST NY AND SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND TUESDAY MORNING.

H8 TEMPS ARE EXPECTED TO RISE FROM +10 TO +11 C SATURDAY MORNING TO
+15 TO +17 C LATE SUNDAY AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT AND THEN DROP TO
+10 TO +14 C BY LATE TUESDAY IN THE WAKE OF THE COLD FRONT.

EXPECT HIGHS ON SATURDAY TO BE IN THE MID 70S TO LOWER 80S...UPPER
70S TO MID 80S ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY...AND LOWER 70S TO MID 80S ON
TUESDAY. LOWS ARE GENERALLY EXPECTED TO BE IN THE MID 50S TO MID
60S...SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS FOR THE TAF SITES...HOWEVER...COLD FRONT WAS
MOVING SOUTH TOWARD THE MID HUDSON VALLEY WHERE A LINE OF CONVECTION
HAS DEVELOPED.  THIS WILL BE THE PROBLEMATIC TAF FOR KPOU WHERE WE
WILL PLACE A TEMPO GROUP FOR CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON.

TO THE NORTH OF THIS CONVECTION...WINDS HAVE BECOME NORTHERLY WITH A
MORE STABLE AIR MASS AND THIS TREND WILL CONTINUE INTO TONIGHT.  THE
POTENTIAL FOR FOG APPEARS MINIMAL AT THIS TIME AND WE WILL LEAVE OUT
OF THE TAFS AT THIS TIME.

ADDITIONAL HIGH LEVEL MOISTURE WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION DURING
THURSDAY AS A SHORT WAVE INTERACTS WITH THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND
ADVECTS MOISTURE BACK NORTH.

OUTLOOK...
THU NT-FRI NT...KGFL-KALB-KPSF...VFR WITH NO SIG WX.
KPOU...VFR...CHC MVFR WITH -SHRAS.
SAT-SUN...VFR...NO SIG WX.
MON...MAINLY VFR...SLIGHT CHC -SHRA/-TSRA.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
A COLD FRONT WILL SLOWLY MOVE SOUTHWARD ACROSS EASTERN NEW YORK AND
WESTERN NEW ENGLAND TODAY WITH SOME SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.  A
BROAD AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FROM JAMES BAY TONIGHT
INTO THURSDAY WITH SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES AND LESS HUMID
CONDITIONS.

RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES WILL LOWER TO 40-70 PERCENT TODAY...AND
RECOVER TO 90 TO 100 PERCENT TONIGHT. EXPECT MINIMUM RH VALUES OF
25 TO 50 PERCENT THURSDAY AFTERNOON.

THE WINDS WILL BE FROM THE WEST OR NORTHWEST AT 5 TO 15 MPH
TODAY...AND DECREASE TO LESS THAN 10 MPH TONIGHT. NORTH WINDS OF 5
TO 15 MPH WILL BE COMMON ON THURSDAY.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
NO HYDRO PROBLEMS ARE EXPECTED ON THE MAIN STEM RIVERS OVER THE
NEXT 5 DAYS.

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ASSOCIATED WITH A FRONTAL PASSAGE
TODAY WILL PRODUCE SOME HEAVY RAINFALL DUE TO A SHORT PERIOD OF
ANOMALOUSLY HIGH PRECIPITATELY WATER VALUES IN THE 1.5 TO 2 INCH
RANGE. SOME PONDING OF WATER ON ROADWAYS OR POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING
IS POSSIBLE ESPECIALLY FROM THE CAPITAL REGION SOUTH. ZONAL FLASH
FLOOD GUIDANCE VALUES REMAIN HIGH FOR MID JULY. THE POTENTIAL FOR
FLASH FLOODING IS LOW AT THIS TIME IN THE ALY HYDRO SERVICE AREA.
