AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
105 PM EDT WED JUL 2 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
THIS AFTERNOON...A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL FOCUS SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS IN THE HOT AND VERY HUMID AIR MASS. SOME OF THE STORMS
MAY BE SEVERE WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL. A COLD FRONT
OVER THE GREAT LAKES SLOWLY MOVING EASTWARD INTO OUR REGION WILL
LIKELY BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THURSDAY
INTO THURSDAY NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE FROM CANADA WILL BUILD INTO THE
REGION FOR THE INDEPENDENCE DAY HOLIDAY WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH #384 HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR ALL ERN NY AND
WRN NEW ENGLAND UNTIL 7 PM EDT...

AS OF 105 PM EDT...ATMOSPHERE IS PRIMED FOR SEVERE WEATHER AT THIS
TIME WITH AN ABUNDANCE OF SFC BASED INSTABILITY WITH THE LATEST
SPC MESOANALYSIS INDICATING 1500-3500+ J/KG OVER THE REGION. THE
GREATER AMOUNTS ARE FROM THE CAPITAL REGION...UPPER HUDSON
VALLEY...ERN CATSKILLS SOUTH AND EAST. THE 0-6 KM BULK SHEAR
VALUES ARE RAMPING UP TO 35-50 KTS. THE MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES
CONTINUES TO STEEPEN TO 6.5-7 C/KM AHEAD OF THE PREFRONTAL SFC
TROUGH. WARM SEASON CSTAR WORK HAS SHOWN THE POTENTIAL INCREASES
FOR SEVERE CONVECTION WITH A PREFRONTAL AND/OR LEE TROUGH IN THE
MID ATLANTIC REGION AND NORTHEAST IN THE RIGHT PRECONVECTIVE
ENVIRONMENT. THIS LOOK LIKE A POTENTIAL CASE. DEEP ORGANIZED
SEVERE CONVECTION WITH POTENTIAL BOWING SEGMENTS...AND LARGE HAIL
ARE POSSIBLE. WILL ALSO MONITOR FOR ANY ROTATING UPDRAFTS WITH ANY
SUPERCELLS THAT MAY FORM. THE 0-1 KM BULK SHEAR VALUES CONTINUE TO
BE 10 KTS OR LESS. PWATS ARE RUNNING 1-2+ STANDARD DEVIATIONS
ABOVE NORMAL. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL IS ALSO A THREAT IF RAINFALL
RATES APPROACH 1 -2+ INCHES IN A HOUR ESPECIALLY WITH TRAINING
CONVECTION. WE WILL MONITOR FOR ANY ISOLD FLASH FLOODING. THE GOOD
NEWS IS THAT THE ANTECEDENT CONDITIONS ARE FAIRLY DRY OVER THE
AREA THE PAST 5 DAYS OR SO.

A 1600 UTC SPECIAL KALY SOUNDING IS ALSO BEING DONE AT THIS TIME.

THE BERMUDA HIGH ANCHORED OFFSHORE COMBINING WITH A STRONG JULY
SUN WILL SEND TEMPERATURES WELL INTO THE M80S ACROSS MOST OF HIGHER
TERRAIN...AND AROUND 90 IN VALLEY LOCATIONS AGAIN.

DEWPOINTS WILL BE IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S...ADDING
DISCOMFORT TO THE HEAT. APPARENT TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO
REACH THE UPPER 90S FROM THE CAPITAL REGION SOUTHWARD. ONCE
AGAIN...HEAT INDICES WILL NARROWLY FALL SHORT OF HEAT ADVISORY
THRESHOLDS /HEAT ADVISORIES ARE ISSUED WHEN THE APPARENT
TEMPERATURES REACH 100 TO 104 DEGREES FOR TWO OR MORE CONSECUTIVE
HOURS/.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
THERE STILL WILL BE PLENTY OF INSTABILITY TO FUEL THUNDERSTORMS WELL
INTO THE EVENING HOURS...SO THREAT OF STRONG GUSTY WINDS AND HAIL
WILL CONTINUE. WITH TIME...OVERNIGHT INSTABILITY WILL WANE AND SO
WILL THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE AND INTENSITY.

WE WILL BE LEFT WITH ANOTHER MUGGY OVERNIGHT WITH LOWS 65 TO AROUND
70 WITH A VARIABLY CLOUDY SKY.

THURSDAY...THE SURFACE COLD FRONT WILL BEGIN TO PRESS INTO THE
AIR MASS FROM THE NORTHWEST. AT THE SAME TIME THERE ARE SOME
INDICATIONS THAT EVEN HIGHER PWATS PERHAPS PARTIALLY CONTRIBUTED BY
TROPICAL STORM ARTHUR WHICH WILL BEGIN MOVING SLOWLY NORTHEAST ALONG
THE SOUTHEAST COAST...MIGHT HELP CONTRIBUTE TO A PREDECESSOR RAIN
EVENT (PRE).

PER CSTAR STUDIES...IT LOOKS AS SOME OF THE KEY INGREDIENTS WILL
COME TOGETHER TO SUPPORT A PRE DEVELOPING ALONG THE FRONT AS IT
ADVANCES TOWARDS EASTERN NEW YORK AND ADJACENT WESTERN NEW ENGLAND.
THERE WILL BE A STRONG UPPER LEVEL JET WITH MAX WINDS LIKELY OVER
100KTS (AND SLIGHTLY ANTICYCLONIC CURVED) TO THE WEST OF THE FORECAST
AREA. OUR REGION WILL BE UNDER THE MAXIMUM JET ENTRANCE REGION.

THE SURFACE COLD FRONT WILL BE IN CENTRAL NY MIDDAY THURSDAY...ONLY
SLOWLY MOVING TO OUR EAST BY EARLY FRIDAY...ALLOWING FOR MOISTURE TO
POOL ALONG IT.

AT THIS POINT...THE POTENTIAL IS THERE FOR A WIDESPREAD HEAVY
RAINFALL BY LATE THURSDAY. THE THREAT OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS LOOKS
LOWER TOMORROW DUE TO LOWER CAPE VALUES (CLOSER TO 1500 J/KG) AND
PERHAPS A LOT MORE CLOUDS THROUGHOUT THE DAY...BUT CERTAINLY CANNOT
BE RULED OUT.

FOR HIGH TEMPERATURES ON THURSDAY...WE WENT BETWEEN THE HIGHER
MAV/LOWER MET GUIDANCE. THIS WOULD GIVE HIGHS IN THE MID 80S MOST
VALLEY LOCATIONS...MID 70S TO LOWER 80S ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN.
DEWPOINTS WILL STILL BE VERY HIGH...CLOSE TO 70...EXCEPT 60S ACROSS
THE ADIRONDACKS.

THURSDAY NIGHT...THE BAND OF HEAVY RAIN LOOKS TO ONLY SLOWLY MOVE
SOUTH AND EAST...LAST TO EXIT NORTHWEST CONNECTICUT. THE ACTUAL COLD
FRONT MIGHT STILL BE PROCESS OF CLEARING OUR SOUTHEASTERN ZONES EVEN
INTO EARLY FRIDAY. LOWS THURSDAY NIGHT WILL GENERALLY BE IN THE 60S.

FRIDAY...INDEPENDENCE DAY...SIGNALS ARE GOOD THAT IT WILL BE MOSTLY
DRY. THIS ASSUMES THE TROPICAL ARTHUR STORM TURNS MORE TO THE EAST
WELL OFF SHORE...INDUCING SUBSIDENCE AND INSURING THAT THE COLD
FRONT COMPLETELY CLEARS OUR ENTIRE REGION. HOWEVER...THERE STILL
COULD BE SOME LINGERING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE EARLY...ESPECIALLY FROM
ALBANY SOUTH AND EAST...SO WE WILL CONTINUE WITH LOW POPS...MAINLY
EARLY.

DRIER AND SOMEWHAT COOLER AIR CANADA WILL INFILTRATE AS THE DAY
WEARS ON. HIGHS WILL GENERALLY BE HELD TO THE 70S TO AROUND 80 ON
INDEPENDENCE DAY WITH DEWPOINTS LOWERING INTO THE 50S.

THE CHANGE IN THE AIR MASS WILL REALLY BE FELT BY FRIDAY NIGHT. WITH
A CLEARING SKY AND HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING TO OUR WEST...LOWS WILL
GENERALLY DIP DOWN INTO THE 50S...WITH SOME UPPER 40S WELL NORTH AND
WEST OF ALBANY.

FOR ALL THE OFFICIAL INFORMATION ON TROPICAL STORM ARTHUR PLEASE
REFER TO THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER INTERNET SITE
(WWW.NHC.NOAA.GOV).

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
A QUICK EXTENDED FORECAST EARLY THIS AFTERNOON DUE TO THE SEVERE
WEATHER CURRENTLY IMPACTING THE FORECAST AREA. THE WPC GUIDANCE
WAS FOLLOWED VERY CLOSELY EXCEPT FOR A FEW MINOR CHANGES NOTED BELOW.

ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL WEEKEND IS EXPECTED FOR ERN NY AND WRN NEW
ENGLAND WITH LOWER HUMIDITY LEVELS...AND HIGH PRESSURE IN CONTROL.
H850 TEMPS WILL BE IN THE +12C TO +13C RANGE ON SATURDAY WITH W/NW
WINDS AND DEWPTS IN THE U40S TO M50S.  MAX TEMPS WILL GENERALLY BE
IN THE U70S TO L80S IN THE VALLEYS...AND U60S TO M70S OVER THE
HIGHER TERRAIN. LOWS WILL GENERALLY BE IN THE 50S WITH A COOL
EVENING...AS THE SFC HIGH SLIDES SOUTH AND EAST OF THE REGION.
SUNDAY SHOULD STILL FEATURE QUITE A BIT OF SUNSHINE...AS THE SFC
ANTICYCLONE MOVES OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST. TEMPS AND HUMIDITY
LEVELS SHOULD BE FAIRLY NICE FOR THE CLOSING OF THE 4TH OF JULY
WEEKEND. HIGHS WILL STILL BE NEAR NORMAL FOR EARLY JULY WITH U70S
TO L80S OVER MOST OF THE FCST AREA...WITH LOWER TO M70S OVER THE
MTNS.

SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY...UNSETTLED WEATHER BEGINS TO RETURN TO
THE FCST AREA WITH INCREASING HUMIDITY LEVELS AND DEWPOINTS RISING
BACK INTO THE 60S. LOW PRESSURE WILL BE MOVING EAST ACROSS S-CNTRL
ONTARIO INTO SW QUEBEC. A WARM FRONT MAY GRAZE THE NW ZONES WITH A
SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM MONDAY MORNING. A SFC TROUGH MAY FOCUS SOME
AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. A CHC OF SHOWERS WAS KEPT IN
THE FCST ESPECIALLY DURING THE AFTERNOON WITH THE PEAK HEATING.
LOWS IN THE 50S TO L60S...WITH HIGHS BACK IN THE MID AND POSSIBLY
U80S IN SOME OF THE VALLEYS...AND WITH U70S TO L80S OVER THE
HIGHER TERRAIN.

MONDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY...A COLD FRONT AND ANOTHER SFC TROUGH
WILL BE IMPACTING THE FORECAST AREA. THE TIMING OF THE COLD FRONT
PASSAGE IS VARIABLE...AND WE FOLLOWED WPC WITH THE FROPA LIKELY
LATE TUE AFTERNOON INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING. WE DID NOT GO WITH
LIKELY POPS YET ON TUE...AND WENT WITH CHC VALUES INSTEAD. SOME
INDICATIONS OF INCREASED AMOUNTS OF INSTABILITY AHEAD OF THE FRONT
WITH THE GFS...AND GOOD LOW-LEVEL CONVERGENCE SO A CHC OF SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS WAS MAINTAINED FOR TUE. A SECONDARY COLD FRONT
MAY BRING ISOLD-SCT SHOWERS AND PERHAPS THUNDERSTORMS LATE WED.
TEMPS LOOK SEASONABLE TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL DURING THIS
STRETCH.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
THE TAF PERIOD WILL BE DOMINATED BY MVFR/IFR THUNDERSTORMS THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING...POTENTIAL IFR FOG TONIGHT...AND A RETURN TO
VFR CONDITIONS AFTER 12Z THURSDAY.

THIS AFTERNOON...WHILE FLYING CONDITIONS WILL PREDOMINATELY BE
VFR...HAVE INDICATED TEMPO GROUPS THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON HOURS TO
TRY TO ACCOUNT FOR THE ARRIVAL OF THUNDERSTORMS AT THE TAF SITES.
THESE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING GUSTY WINDS AND
BRIEF HEAVY DOWNPOURS REDUCING VISIBILITIES TO IFR CONDITIONS.
MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE TAF
SITES BEGINNING AT THE ONSET OF THE TAF PERIOD AND PERSISTING INTO
THE EARLY EVENING HOURS. WINDS OUTSIDE OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE OUT
OF THE SOUTH/SOUTHWEST AT 8-12 KNOTS...AND LOCALLY HIGHER WITHIN
THUNDERSTORMS. WHILE TEMPO GROUPS HAVE BEEN PLACED THROUGHOUT MUCH
OF THE TAF PERIOD THROUGH 03/02Z...THE GREATEST THREAT LOOKS TO BE
BETWEEN 18Z-00Z.

TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY...ANY LINGERING THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY SHOULD
QUICKLY DIMINISH LATE THIS EVENING WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING.
IN THEIR WAKE...PLENTY OF LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE WILL BE IN PLACE AND
WITH SKIES EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY CLEAR OUT WITH A TRENDING OF WINDS
TOWARDS CALM...IFR FOG IS POSSIBLE AT ALL TAF SITES...ESPECIALLY
DURING THE 06Z-12Z TIMEFRAME. IFR FOG SHOULD DIMINISH AFTER 12Z
THURSDAY WITH A RETURN TO VFR FLYING CONDITIONS. SOME SHOWERS MAY
REACH KPOU BY 15Z AND HAVE INDICATED A PROB30 GROUP THERE WITH AN
ADDITIONAL THREAT FOR SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS BEYOND THE TAF PERIOD
THURSDAY AFTERNOON AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST.

OUTLOOK...

THURSDAY NIGHT: MODERATE OPERATIONAL IMPACT. LIKELY SHRA.
INDEPENDENCE DAY: MODERATE OPERATIONAL IMPACT. CHANCE OF SHRA.
FRIDAY NIGHT: NO OPERATIONAL IMPACT.  NO SIG WX.
SATURDAY: NO OPERATIONAL IMPACT.  NO SIG WX.
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.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
A VERY WARM...HUMID FLOW OF AIR WILL REMAIN OVER THE FORECAST
AREA INTO THURSDAY. A SERIES OF DISTURBANCES WILL PASS ACROSS THE
REGION MIDWEEK...AND RESULT IN SCATTERED MAINLY AFTERNOON AND
EVENING THUNDERSTORMS. MORE WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL
RESULT THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT AS A COLD FRONT PUSHES SLOWLY
SOUTH THROUGH THE REGION BRINGING AVERAGE BASIN RAINFALLS WELL OVER
A QUARTER OF AN INCH.

RH VALUES WILL ELEVATED TODAY...50-70 PERCENT...HIGHEST OVER THE
MOUNTAINS. RH VALUES WILL APPROACH 100 PERCENT TONIGHT AND ONLY DROP
TO THE 60-75 PERCENT RANGE ON THURSDAY AFTERNOON.

THE WIND WILL BE SOUTH 5 TO 15 MPH THROUGH THURSDAY...GRADUALLY
SHIFTING TO THE NORTH OR NORTHWEST BY INDEPENDENCE DAY AS A COLD
FRONT MOVES THROUGH. IT WILL TURN DRIER AND LESS HUMID FRIDAY INTO
THE WEEKEND.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
THUNDERSTORMS ARE LIKELY THIS AFTERNOON INTO EARLY THIS EVENING.
THERE IS A CHANCE THAT SOME STORMS MIGHT BE SEVERE. THEY COULD
ALSO CONTAIN HEAVY RAINFALL WITH COULD LEAD TO LOCALIZED FLASH
FLOODING AS A FEW SPOTS COULD PICK UP TO AN INCH OR BETTER OF
RAINFALL IN A SHORT TIME...ALTHOUGH AVERAGE RAINFALL BASIN
AVERAGES WILL GENERALLY BE CLOSER TO A QUARTER OF AN INCH.

TOMORROW AS A SLOW MOVING COLD MOVES TOWARD US...THERE ARE
INDICATIONS THAT A "PRE" WELL NORTHEAST OF TROPICAL STORM ARTHUR
COULD BRING A BAND OF STEADY TO HEAVY RAINFALL (WITH A FEW EMBEDDED
THUNDERSTORMS). IF THIS DOES HAPPEN...WE COULD BE LOOKING AT AN
INCREASED RISK OF FLASH FLOODING. IT IS STILL TOO EARLY TO CONSIDER
ANY FLASH FLOOD WATCHES BUT SOMETHING TO MONITOR.

AVERAGE BASIN RAINFALLS COULD BE 1-2 INCHES ON THURSDAY INTO
THURSDAY NIGHT...POSSIBLY A LITTLE MORE. AT THE VERY
LEAST...SIGNIFICANT WITHIN BANK RISES ARE POSSIBLE ON OUR RIVERS AND
STREAMS...POSSIBLY BRINGING A FEW TO ACTION STAGES.

DRIER WEATHER SHOULD RETURN JUST IN TIME FOR THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND.

AND FORECAST RIVER STAGES AND LAKE ELEVATIONS...PLEASE VISIT THE
