Severe Thunderstorm Warning 73, NWS Binghamton, NY

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BINGHAMTON NY
1154 AM EDT MON JUN 24 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
WARM AND HUMID CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS.
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE EACH
AFTERNOON AS WEAK DISTURBANCES PASS THROUGH THE REGION.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS A WELL DEFINED UPPER LEVEL LOW WITH
ASSOCIATED COLD POOL ALOFT OVER WRN AND CNTRL PA AT THIS TIME.
SPC MESOANALYSIS PAGE INDICATED THAT TEMPERATURES IN THE COLD POOL
WERE AT -13C AT 500 MB. THIS UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL CONT TO MOVE
E-NE THIS AFTERNOON AND LEAD TO STEEP MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES OVER
NE PA AND CNTRL NY. THIS OCCURS DURING MAX DIURNAL HEATING
WHICH WILL STEEPEN LOW-LEVEL LAPSE RATES AS WELL. MIXED LAYER
CAPES ALREADY ARE RUNNING BETWEEN 1000 AND 1500 J/KG AS SEEN ON
SPC/S MESOANALYSIS PAGE. 12Z UPR AIR SOUNDING FROM KPIT HAD STEEP
LAPSE RATES BETWEEN 925 MB AND 700 MB AND AN LI OF -7C!

WITH CONTINUED HEATING MODEL MIXED LAYER CAPES APPROACH OR EXCEED 2000
J/KG. WIND FIELDS ARE RATHER LIGHT WITH 10 TO 15 KNOTS IN THE
LOWEST 3 KM AND ALSO ABV 8 KM. MID-LEVEL WINDS BETWEEN 3 AND 8 KM
ARE VERY WEAK. I EXPECT STORMS TO DEVELOP EARLY THIS AFTERNOON AND
LAST UNTIL THE UPPER LEVEL LOW PASSES BY TO THE NORTHEAST BY 00Z
OR SO. THIS WILL OCCUR IN CONCERT WITH SUNSET SO I EXPECT STORM
ACVTY WILL DROP OFF MARKEDLY THIS EVENING.

PRIMARY THREATS WILL BE HEAVY RAINERS FROM SLOW MOVING STORMS.
WITH CAPES AOA 2000 J/KG THERE CUD BE SOME LARGE HAIL AS WELL.
LOCAL SEVERE WEATHER CHECKLIST SUGGESTS LARGE HAIL MAINLY FROM
LARGE CAPE VALUES FOR THIS AREA.

HAVE UPDATED THE HWO AND WILL DECIDE ON FLASH FLOOD WATCHES AS THE
EVENT UNFOLDS TRYING TO TARGET COUNTIES THAT BECOME MOST
VULNERABLE WITH 2 TO 4 HOURS LEAD TIME (SHORT-FUSED). AT THIS
POINT WAY TOO EARLY TO TELL WHICH AREAS WILL BE IMPACTED THE MOST
BY HEAVY RAINERS.

AFTER THE STORM ACTIVITY DIMINISHES THIS EVENING... ANOTHER MUGGY
AND WARM YET FAIRLY QUIET NIGHT FORESEEN WITH PATCHY
FOG...ESPECIALLY VALLEYS AND AREAS THAT GET RAINFALL TODAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
430 AM UPDATE...
PERIOD REMAINS ACTIVE...THANKS TO WAVE TRAIN TRAVELING THROUGH THE
WESTERLIES. MAIN SHIFT TO NOTE IS THAT WIND SPEEDS THROUGH THE
ATMOSPHERIC COLUMN WILL PICK UP WITH TIME...AS MAIN BELT OF
WESTERLIES GRADUALLY SINKS DOWN FROM CANADA AND MORE INTO OUR
REGION. WITH UNIDIRECTIONAL SHEAR INCREASING...MORE ORGANIZED
THREAT OF STRONGER STORMS MAY ALSO MATERIALIZE...BUT OF COURSE
WILL BE SUBJECT TO MESOSCALE INFLUENCES INCLUDING TIMING OF
SPECIFIC EMBEDDED SHORTWAVES. STORM PREDICTION CENTER CONVECTIVE
OUTLOOKS CURRENTLY INCLUDE NORTHERN ZONES IN DAY TWO 5 PCT
CONTOUR /NOT QUITE ENOUGH FOR WHAT IS CONSIDERED SLIGHT
RISK/...AND THEN ALMOST ALL OF OUR AREA IN DAY THREE 5 PCT CONTOUR
WITH SLIGHT RISK INDICATED JUST TO OUR WEST.

THE OTHER CONCERN...AND INDEED PERHAPS THE BIGGER ONE...IS THAT
THESE REPEATED BATCHES OF SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS MAY LEAD TO
PARTS OF OUR AREA BECOMING MORE VULNERABLE TO LOCALIZED FLOODING.
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES LOOK TO GET BACK ABOVE 1.5 INCHES
TUESDAY...AND EVEN AROUND AN INCH-AND-THREE-QUARTERS OR SO
WEDNESDAY...A JUICY ATMOSPHERE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING EFFICIENT HEAVY
RAINERS. THE SAVING GRACE IS THAT THE FLOW WILL BE INCREASING
TOO...WHICH WILL TEND TO PROGRESSIVELY MOVE CELLS OF CONVECTION
ALONG...AND THE INDIVIDUAL WAVES WILL LIKELY HAVE GAPS OF TIME
SPACED IN BETWEEN. THAT BEING SAID...MESO BETA ELEMENT /MBE/
VECTORS IN MODEL SOUNDINGS REMAIN FAIRLY SHORT SO BACK-BUILDING
OF NEW CELLS AND THUS TRAINING ARE NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION. THIS
POTENTIAL WILL HAVE TO BE MONITORED CLOSELY IN COMING DAYS AS
DETAILS BECOME MORE CERTAIN.

HUMID AND VERY WARM AIR MASS PERSISTS THROUGH THE PERIOD...YIELDING
HEAT INDICES EACH AFTERNOON IN THE UPPER 80S TO LOW 90S. LOWS EACH
NIGHT GENERALLY MID 60S TO NEAR 70.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
VERY UNSETTLED CONDITIONS APPEAR TO BE IN THE OFFERING FOR MUCH OF
THE EXTENDED TIME FRAME AS A BLOCKY MID-LATITUDE HEIGHT PATTERN
DEVELOPS OVER THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE. LONG RANGE FCST GUIDANCE IN
FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT THAT A STRONG RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL
DEVELOP ACROSS THE NORTHERN ATLANTIC WITH A SIMILAR RIDGE ALSO
EXPECTED TO STRAIGHTEN OVER TIME ACROSS THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST AND
ROCKY MOUNTAINS. IN BETWEEN THESE FEATURES...A DEVELOPING TROUGH
SOUTH OF HUDSON BAY WILL STRENGTHEN AND DIG SOUTH INTO THE GREAT
LAKES AND EVENTUALLY FURTHER SOUTH INTO THE OHIO AND TENNESSEE
RIVER VALLEYS. QUICK LOOK AT THE GEFS 500-HPA HEIGHT ANOMALIES
SUGGESTS THE DEVELOPING RIDGE ACROSS THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST WILL
APPROACH 2-3 STANDARD DEVIATIONS (SDS) ABOVE NORMAL...WITH THE
NORTHERN ATLANTIC MEMBER APPROACHING 1-2 SDS.

ALL TOLD...UPPER PATTERN WILL BE A BIT OMINOUS FOR PORTIONS OF THE
EAST COAST AS AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE ADVECTION
FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO AND WESTERN ATLANTIC TRANSCEND THE
MID-ATLANTIC AND NORTHEASTERN STATES. CONSIDERING FAVORABLE MODEL
AGREEMENT THIS FAR OUT AND THE RECOGNITION OF A DEVELOPING
SYNOPTIC PATTERN CAPABLE OF HEAVY RAINFALL...HAVE INCREASED POPS
INTO THE HIGH CHC CATEGORY THROUGH THE DURATION OF THE EXTENDED
TIME FRAME. THIS DEVELOPING PATTERN CERTAINLY WARRANTS CONTINUED
MONITORING AND FUTURE MODEL RUNS PROMISE TO BE BOTH INTERESTING
AND POTENTIALLY CONCERNING.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
UPDATE FOR THE UPCOMING 18Z PACKAGE... SHRA/TSRA ARE STILL
EXPECTED TO FIRE THIS AFTN...AND IMPACT MOST OF OUR TERMINAL SITES
IN THE 18-22Z TIME FRAME. FOR NOW...WE'VE INSERTED TSRA IN THE
MOST LIKELY 2-HOUR TIME PD AT EACH LOCALE...WITH SUBTLE TIMING TWEAKS
ALMOST CERTAINLY TO FOLLOW THIS AFTN.

CONVECTION WINDS DOWN BY EARLY EVE...WITH AREAS OF FOG OVERNIGHT.
ONCE AGN...KELM SHOULD SEE IFR/LIFR CONDS...SPCLY IF HVYR RAINS
DVLP THIS AFTN. FOR NOW...WE'VE ONLY INDICATED MVFR ELSEWHERE.

TUE...MORE SHRA/TSRA ARE EXPECTED TO DVLP IN THE AFTN...AS ANOTHER
UPR-LVL DISTURBANCE APPCHS. ATTM...IT APPEARS THAT MOST OF THE
ACTIVITY WILL OCCUR AFTER 18Z...AND THUS WILL NOT BE INCLUDED IN
THIS FCST.

OUTLOOK...WED THROUGH FRI...

RESTRICTIONS ARE STILL PSBL EACH DAY...MAINLY IN THE
AFTN/EVE...WITH AT LEAST SCTD SHRA/TSRA FORESEEN. PATCHES OF
OVERNIGHT/EARLY AM LOW CLDS/FOG ALSO STILL SEEM LIKELY.

&&
