ENOUGH TO SWEEP VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD. WHEN ENCOUNTERING FLOODED
ROADS MAKE THE SMART CHOICE...TURN AROUND...DONT DROWN.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
415 PM EDT FRI JUN 13 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION FROM WEST TO EAST THIS
EVENING INTO TONIGHT...WITH RAIN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. SOME
OF THE RAIN MAY FALL HEAVY AT TIMES. BEHIND THIS FRONTAL
BOUNDARY...LESS HUMID AIR AND DRY CONDITIONS WILL RETURN FOR THE
WEEKEND...WITH ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES EXPECTED BY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/...
AS OF 415 PM EDT...A COLD FRONT IS MOVING TOWARDS THE AREA FROM
WESTERN NEW YORK...WITH A WARM FRONT DRAPED ACROSS OUR AREA. THERE
ARE A FEW BANDS OF CONVECTION SEEN ON RADAR...WITH ONE LINE ACROSS
THE UPPER MOHAWK VALLEY AND CENTRAL NY...AND ANOTHER LINE JUST
AHEAD OF THE FRONT ACROSS THE FINGER LAKES AREA. WITH THE WARM
FRONT STARTING TO LIFT ACROSS THE AREA...SOME BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS
ARE FINALLY STARTING TO OCCUR. THE LATEST LAPS GUIDANCE SUGGESTS
THERE IS UP TO 1000 J/KG OF CAPE...WITH THE HIGHEST VALUES IN OUR
FAR WESTERN AREAS. THIS LIMITED INSTABILITY AND POOR LAPSE RATES
ALOFT WILL KEEP THE THREAT FOR STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS THIS
EVENING AT A MINIMUM. ALSO...0-6 KM BULK SHEAR IS ONLY ABOUT 20
KTS AT BEST...SO THERE/S NOT MUCH SUGGESTING THE POTENTIAL FOR
WIDESPREAD SEVERE STORMS. STILL...WITH ENOUGH LARGE SCALE FORCING
IN PLACE...WE CANNOT TOTALLY RULE OUT A ROGUE STORM CONTAINING
STRONG WIND GUSTS SOMEWHERE WITHIN OUR AREA. SPC CONTINUES A SEE
TEXT AREA FOR THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF OUR REGION. ALSO...WITH
PWATS ABOVE NORMAL...HEAVY RAINFALL WILL ACCOMPANY ANY
THUNDERSTORM...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR AN ISOLATED FLASH FLOOD AND
LOCALIZED MINOR POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING. SEE OF HYDRO DISCUSSION
FOR DETAILS ON HOW WE EXPECT THIS TO IMPACT OUR REGION.

THE THREAT FOR RAIN/THUNDER WILL END FROM WEST TO EAST BEGINNING
ABOUT MIDNIGHT OR SO AS THE FRONT FINALLY MOVES ACROSS THE AREA.
IT MAY TAKE UNTIL NEARLY SUNRISE FOR THE FRONT TO MAKE IT INTO
WESTERN NEW ENGLAND. MIN TEMPS OVERNIGHT LOOK TO RANGE FROM THE
UPPER 40S IN THE ADIRONDACKS TO THE MID 60S IN THE MID HUDSON
VALLEY AND NW CT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE ACROSS NORTHERN PARTS OF THE
AREA ON SATURDAY. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR SOME CLOUDS AND PERHAPS A
SPRINKLE OVER THE ADIRONDACKS. OTHERWISE...SKIES WILL BE PARTLY TO
MOSTLY SUNNY OVER THE REMAINDER OF THE AREA WITH A COOL NW BREEZE.
IT WILL BE NOTICEABLY LESS HUMID THAN RECENT DAYS AND MAX TEMPS
WILL BE BELOW NORMAL FOR MID JUNE WITH HIGHS ONLY MID 60S TO MID
70S.

SFC HIGH PRESSURE WILL START TO MOVE TOWARDS THE AREA FROM THE
GREAT LAKES/OHIO VALLEY FOR SAT NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT. THIS
WILL ALLOW FOR DRY WEATHER AND QUIET WEATHER...WITH RIDGING
BUILDING AT 500 HPA. MIN TEMPS ON BOTH SAT AND SUN NIGHTS WILL RANGE
FROM THE LOW 40S TO LOW 50S...WITH HIGHS ON SUNDAY MAINLY IN THE
70S TO NEAR 80.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
THE LONG TERM PERIOD LOOKS TO FEATURE VERY WARM AND HUMID CONDITIONS
WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY MAINLY DURING THE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. THE MOST RAIN MAY ACTUALLY FALL DURING
THE MID WEEK PERIOD WHEN A STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS ACROSS OUR
REGION TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.

HERE ARE SOME SPECIFICS...

THE EXTENDED STILL STARTS OUT WITH INCREASINGLY WARM HUMID BUT
RAINFREE WEATHER MONDAY MORNING AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES OFFSHORE AND
PUMPS A SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW IN OUR DIRECTION...SENDING H850
TEMPERATURES WELL INTO THE TEENS.

MONDAY AFTERNOON INTO EARLY TUESDAY A COLD FRONT IS STILL FORECAST
TO MOVE ACROSS THE REGION AND STALL. THUS THERE WILL SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS STARTING ON MONDAY AFTERNOON AND
CONTINUING FOR MUCH OF THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK.

THE HIGHS WILL GENERALLY BE IN THE MID 70S TO MID 80S EACH DAY WITH
LOWS GENERALLY IN THE MID 50S TO MID 60S EACH DAY.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THE WARM FRONT HAS JUST ABOUT LIFTED NORTH AND EAST THROUGH THE
AREA AS THE RAIN IS ENDING AND CEILINGS ARE TRENDING UP INTO THE
MVFR RANGE. SATELLITE IMAGERY IS SHOWING SOME THINNING OF THE
CLOUDS AND BREAKS TO THE WEST THAT SHOULD WORK INTO EASTERN NEW
YORK AND WESTERN NEW ENGLAND THE REST OF THIS AFTERNOON AHEAD OF A
COLD FRONT. SO...SOME VFR CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED PERIODICALLY
THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. A BAND OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS IS DEVELOPING IN CENTRAL NY AND IS EXPECTED TO
MAINTAIN ITSELF AS IT TRACKS EAST. ACKNOWLEDGING TEMPO FOR
THUNDERSTORMS AND MVFR CONDITIONS AFTER 22Z AT KALB...KPOU AND
KPSF AS THE THUNDERSTORMS HAVE NOT DEVELOPED FAR ENOUGH NORTH TO
PROVIDE HIGH CONFIDENCE FOR THUNDER AT KGFL.

ONCE THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EXIT SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT...
SOME LOW CLOUDS AND FOG COULD CONTRIBUTE TO PREDOMINANT LOW MVFR
CONDITIONS...MAYBE INTO IFR CONDITIONS BUT SHORTER TERM TRENDS WILL
NEED TO BE CHECKED TOWARD EVENING TO SEE IF CONDITIONS WILL LOWER TO
IFR TONIGHT.  BY SUNRISE...OR A BIT AFTER...CLOUDS SHOULD BECOME
SCATTERED AND VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL THROUGH THE REST OF THE
MORNING.

LIGHT EAST TO SOUTH WINDS AT LESS THAN 10 KT THIS AFTERNOON WILL
BECOME VARIABLE TONIGHT. WINDS SHOULD BECOME NORTHWEST AT AROUND 10
KT AFTER SUNRISE TOMORROW AND GUST NEAR 20 KT THROUGH MIDDAY
TOMORROW.

OUTLOOK...

SATURDAY NIGHT: NO OPERATIONAL IMPACT.  NO SIG WX.
SUNDAY: NO OPERATIONAL IMPACT.  NO SIG WX.
SUNDAY NIGHT: NO OPERATIONAL IMPACT.  NO SIG WX.
MONDAY: LOW OPERATIONAL IMPACT. SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHRA...TSRA.
MONDAY NIGHT: MODERATE OPERATIONAL IMPACT. CHANCE OF SHRA...TSRA.
TUESDAY: LOW OPERATIONAL IMPACT. SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHRA...TSRA.
TUESDAY NIGHT: LOW OPERATIONAL IMPACT. SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHRA...TSRA.
WEDNESDAY: MODERATE OPERATIONAL IMPACT. CHANCE OF SHRA...TSRA.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL BRING MORE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO
THE REGION THIS EVENING INTO TONIGHT...ALLOWING FOR YET ANOTHER
WETTING RAINFALL. HOWEVER...DRY WEATHER WILL RETURN FOR THE
WEEKEND AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES TOWARDS THE AREA. RH VALUES WILL DROP
TO 40-55 PERCENT ON SATURDAY AFTN...AND 30-40 PERCENT ON SUNDAY AFTN.
LIGHT WINDS TONIGHT WILL BECOME W-NW ON SATURDAY AT 10-20 MPH.
WINDS WILL BE LIGHTER ON SUNDAY...GENERALLY NW AT 5-15 MPH.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
WITH A WARM FRONT MOVING ACROSS THE AREA...STEADY RAINFALL THIS
MORNING ALLOW MOST BASINS TO SEE BETWEEN ONE HALF INCH TO ONE
INCH OF RAINFALL. OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS...STORM TOTAL RAINFALL
AMOUNTS HAVE BEEN UP TO THREE INCHES...WITH THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS
OVER THE ADIRONDACKS AND UPPER MOHAWK VALLEY. THIS RAINFALL HAS
CAUSED THE GROUND TO BE RATHER WET...LOWERING THE AMOUNT OF
RAINFALL NEEDED TO CAUSE FLOODING. ALTHOUGH STREAM FLOWS HAVE BEEN
LOW...THEY HAVE BEEN STARTING TO RISE THIS AFTERNOON AS A RESULT
OF THE ONGOING RAINFALL.

A FEW ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO OCCUR
BETWEEN LATE THIS AFTERNOON/THIS EVENING...AND TONIGHT. AN
ADDITIONAL ONE HALF TO TWO INCHES OF RAINFALL IS POSSIBLE. IF THE
HEAVIEST RAINFALL OCCURS OVER THE AREAS THAT HAVE RECENTLY SEEN
HEAVY RAINFALL...THEN AN ISOLATED FLASH FLOOD MAY OCCUR. AT THIS
POINT...WE DON/T EXPECT VERY MUCH RIVER FLOODING...BUT THERE MAY
BE SOME SIGNIFICANT RISES...ESPECIALLY ON THE SMALLER STREAMS AND
CREEKS. THE ONLY RIVER POINT THAT COULD POSSIBLY REACH FLOOD STAGE
WOULD BE THE CANAJOHARIE CREEK AT CANAJOHARIE...AS THIS STREAM IS
RATHER FLASHY...AND HAS BEEN SEEN REPEATED SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS
THIS AFTERNOON.

OTHERWISE...PONDING OF WATER ON ROADWAYS...AS WELL AS PONDING IN
FIELDS...URBAN AREAS...LOW LYING AREAS...AND OTHER POOR DRAINAGE
AREAS LOOKS TO OCCUR THROUGH TONIGHT DUE TO THE BRIEF BURSTS OF
HEAVY RAINFALL. ONCE THE COLD FRONT PASSES THROUGH FROM WEST TO
EAST...THE THREAT FOR RAIN WILL END...AND SO WILL ANY HYDROLOGIC
CONCERNS.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL ALLOW FOR DRY WEATHER TO RETURN FOR THE
WEEKEND AND INTO THE START OF NEXT WEEK. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR ANY
HIGH WATER TO RECEDE AND GROUND CONDITIONS TO START TO DRY OUT.

BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK...ANOTHER FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL RETURN
THE THREAT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE AREA. THIS FRONT
COULD POTENTIALLY STALL NEAR THE REGION...SO WE WILL HAVE TO
MONITOR THE POTENTIAL FOR THAT...AS THAT COULD BRING REPEATED
PERIODS OF RAINFALL TO THE SAME AREAS.

OBSERVED AND FORECAST RIVER STAGES AND LAKE ELEVATIONS...PLEASE
