Special Weather Statement, NWS Albany, NY

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
530 PM EDT WED JUL 23 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
THUNDERSTORMS...DEVELOPING AHEAD OF SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT...WILL
IMPACT MOST OF THE AREA THROUGH EARLY EVENING. SOME OF THE
THUNDERSTORMS COULD BE SEVERE...INCLUDING POTENTIAL DAMAGING WINDS
AND LARGE HAIL.  A WEAK WAVE MIGHT STALL THE FRONT...PROLONGING
SHOWERS TO THE SOUTH AND EAST OF ALBANY OVERNIGHT. DRIER AND COOLER
AIR WILL MOVE IN ON THURSDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
AS OF 515 PM EDT...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM 432 CONTINUES. ACCORDING TO
THE LATEST MSAS ANALYSIS...INSTABILITY HAS INCREASED TO NEARLY 4000
J/KG ACROSS OUR REGION. THE 0-6KM BULK SHEAR...WAS ABOUT 30KTS
ACROSS AREAS FROM ALBANY NORTHWARD.

DESPITE MEDIOCRE LAPSE RATES AROUND 6.0KM/C THE INSTABILITY SHOULD
PROVIDE THE IMPETUS FOR CELLS TO AT LEAST BRIEFLY PULSE UP TO SEVERE
LIMITS.

WE HAVE ISSUED A FEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WARNING...ONE JUST
NORTHEAST OF ALBANY INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT...THE OTHER IN COLUMBIA
COUNTY. MORE COULD FOLLOW...BUT EVERYONE HAS A BETTER THAN 50/50
CHANCE OF AT LEAST GETTING MEASURABLE RAINFALL AND HEARING THUNDER.

IT LOOKS AS IF THE BEST SHOT FOR THUNDERSTORMS IN THE CAPITAL REGION
WILL BE FROM NOW THROUGH 600 PM...ASSUMING A LINE TO OUR NORTHWEST
HOLDS TOGETHER AND MOVES THROUGH. THIS COULD IMPACT THE TAIL END OF
EVENING DRIVE WITH HEAVY RAIN....LOCALIZED DAMAGING WIND
GUSTS...LARGE HAIL AND FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING.

TEMPERATURES WERE STILL FLIRTING WITH THE 90 DEGREE MARK IN THE
VALLEYS FROM THE CAPITAL REGION SOUTHWARD. FURTHER NORTH AND
WEST...TEMPERATURES HAVE COOLED TO THE 70S WHERE RAIN HAS FALLEN.
THE COLD FRONT WAS SLOWLY WORKING INTO NORTHWESTERN NEW YORK
STATE...AND LOOKS TO CROSS THE CAPITAL REGION THROUGH MID
EVENING...AND WORK INTO THE OUR SOUTHEASTERN AREAS OVERNIGHT.

TEMPERATURES WILL DROP INTO THE 70S AS THUNDERSTORMS WORK THROUGH
THE REGION THROUGH EARLY EVENING.

THE UPPER LEVEL DYNAMICS OF THE SYSTEM WILL LAG BEHIND...AS THE
RIGHT REAR ENTRANCE REGION OF AN UPPER LEVEL JET WORKS INTO OUR
REGION OVERNIGHT. THIS COULD ALLOW FOR SHOWERS TO LINGER BEHIND THE
COLD FRONT...AND THERE MIGHT EVEN BE A WEAK SURFACE WAVE WORKING
ALONG THE FRONT AS WELL. WILL KEEP LIKELY POPS FOR SHOWERS ONLY (AS
THE INSTABILITY SHOULD DIMINISH BY THEN).

TEMPERATURES WILL COOL INTO THE 60S OVERNIGHT FROM ALBANY
SOUTHWARD...50S WELL NORTH AND WEST. DEWPOINTS WILL DROP INTO THE
50S...AND EVEN SOME UPPER 40S NORTHWEST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY/...
ANY LINGERING SHOWERS IN OUR EXTREME SOUTHEASTERN ZONES SHOULD EXIT
SHORTLY AFTER DAYBREAK THURSDAY. OTHERWISE...A NOTICEABLY DRIER AND
COOLER AIRMASS WILL INFILTRATE OUR REGION ON THURSDAY. CLOUDS WILL
SLOWLY BREAK UP FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST.

H850 TEMPERATURES WILL COOL FROM THE UPPER TEENS CELSIUS FROM LATE
TODAY...TO AROUND +10C ON THURSDAY. THIS WILL TRANSLATE TO HIGH
TEMPERATURES ON THURSDAY TO BE ABOUT 10 DEGREES LOWER COMPARED TO
TODAY...GENERALLY AROUND 80 IN THE VALLEYS...LOWER TO MID 70S HIGHER
TERRAIN. DEWPOINTS WILL GENERALLY BE IN THE 50S...SO COMFORTABLE
LEVEL OF HUMIDITY.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD TO OUR SOUTH FROM CANADA THURSDAY NIGHT
THROUGH EARLY SATURDAY.

THURSDAY NIGHT WILL BE MAINLY CLEAR CALM AND COOL WITH LOWS DIPPING
DOWN TO THE LOWER TO MID 50S ALBANY SOUTHWARD...40S WELL NORTH AND
WEST OF ALBANY. PATCHY FOG WILL FORM IN THE FOG-PRONE AREAS
(GENERALLY LOW LYING AREAS NEAR BODIES OF WATER).

FRIDAY WILL SEE SUNSHINE MIXING WITH FAIR WEATHER CUMULUS CLOUDS.
HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE SIMILAR TO THURSDAY. DEWPOINTS WILL REMAIN
IN THE 50S.

MAINLY CLEAR WITH LOWS IN THE 50S ALBANY SOUTHWARD...40S NORTH.

SATURDAY SHOULD BE DRY...BUT HIGH CLOUDS FROM A DISTURBANCE AND WARM
AIR ADVECTION WILL MEAN AN INCREASE IN HIGH CLOUDS. DEWPOINTS WILL
CREEP UP TO AROUND 60...SO A LITTLE MORE HUMID BUT BUT STILL AT
MODERATE LEVELS.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
A LARGE MID LEVEL TROUGH WILL DIG TO OUR WEST ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES
AND OHIO VALLEY...AND REMAIN THERE MUST OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD AS AN
UPPER LEVEL LOW IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP ACROSS EASTERN CANADA.

THE INITIAL VORTICITY (MID LEVEL ENERGY) ASSOCIATED WITH THE TROUGH
WILL APPROACH OUR REGION WITH AN ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW AND WARM AIR
ADVECTION...WILL WORK INTO OUR REGION FROM WEST TO EAST LATE
SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY. THIS IS A LITTLE FASTER THAN PREVIOUS
GUIDANCE INDICATED. A THREAT OF SHOWERS WILL INCREASE AS WE HEAD
TOWARD SUNDAY. ALTHOUGH SURFACE INSTABILITY MIGHT BE LIMITED...THERE
COULD BE PLENTY OF ELEVATED CONVECTION ALOFT...SO WILL MENTION
THUNDER AS WELL.

THIS INITIAL SURGE OF ENERGY WILL MOVE ON BY ON MONDAY...HOWEVER OUR
REGION WILL REMAIN UNDER A CYCLONIC FLOW WITH LINGERING LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE ON MONDAY. WE WILL CONTINUE WITH CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ON MONDAY ALTHOUGH THAT DAY WILL PROBABLY OFFER SOME
DRY TIME.

THE TROUGH/UPPER AIR LOW WILL SLOWLY WEAKEN WITH TIME...BUT NOT GO
AWAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THERE ARE INDICATIONS ADDITIONAL MID LEVEL
DRYING SHOULD DECREASE THE THREAT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
TUESDAY AND ESPECIALLY WEDNESDAY. HOWEVER...WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A
CUTOFF LOW...AND CERTAINLY...THERE COULD ADDITIONAL DISTURBANCE (NOT
DEPICTED AT THIS TIME)...COULD PRODUCE ADDITIONAL BOUTS OF SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS.

WE WILL KEEP A 30 PERCENT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND AFTERNOON
THUNDERSTORMS ON TUESDAY AND FOR NOW...JUST A SLIGHT CHANCE OF
SHOWERS ON WEDNESDAY.

TEMPERATURES DURING THE EXTENDED WILL TREND SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL AS
THE TROUGH PULLS SOME SLIGHTLY COOLER AIR FROM CANADA.

HOWEVER...IT WILL BE MODERATED THROUGH A SOUTHWESTERLY LOW. LOOK FOR
HIGHS GENERALLY AROUND 80 IN THE VALLEYS...70S HIGHER TERRAIN.

LOWS WILL IN THE 60S SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHTS...COOLING TO THE
50S AROUND 60 TUESDAY NIGHT.

&&

.AVIATION /21Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR ALL THE TAF SITES
THROUGH 02Z. THE POTENTIAL IS THERE FOR THUNDERSTORMS TO PRODUCE
WIND GUSTS TO 50KTS AND HAIL AN INCH IN DIAMETER OR MORE. IN
ADDITION ANY THUNDERSTORM COULD CONTAIN VERY HEAVY RAINFALL AND
FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING.

AS OF 21Z...A LINE OF STORM BACKBUILDED FROM NORTHEAST TO SOUTHWEST
ALMOST TO THE ALBANY INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. MORE THUNDERSTORMS WERE
IN SCHOHARIE COUNTY TRACKING NORTHWEST. PLACED A VCTS IN THE ALBANY
TAF THROUGH 00Z...WITH A TEMPO FOR MVFR REDUCED RAIN AND WIND GUSTS
TO 30KTS.

THUNDERSTORMS WERE IMPACTING KGFL BUT TEMPERATURES THERE HAD DROPPED
INTO THE 70S...LOWERING THE THREAT OF ADDITIONAL STORMS.

THUNDERSTORMS WERE WORKING TOWARD THE PITTSFIELD AIRPORT AS WELL AS
KPOU. BOTH SHOULD BE IMPACTED BY STORMS WITHIN THE HOUR. HAVE VCTS
IN BOTH TAFS...AND OCCASIONAL REDUCTIONS AT LEAST TO MVFR (COULD
EASILY DROP BRIEFLY TO IFR) DUE TO HEAVY RAINFALL. WIND GUSTS COULD
REACH 25KTS OR BETTER.

ONCE THE THUNDERSTORMS END...KEEPING VCSH FOR A FEW HOURS FOR
LINGERING ACTIVITY...BUT LONGER...THROUGH ABOUT 09Z AT KPOU SINCE
THE FRONT MAY SLOW ITS PROGRESS IN SOUTHERN AREAS.  SOME FOG MAY
FORM AFTER SOME CLEARING AT KGFL...KALB AND KPSF TOWARD DAYBREAK BUT
ONLY INDICATING 6SM BR UNTIL WE CAN ANALYZE SHORT TERM TRENDS BEHIND
THE FRONT AFTER SUNSET.

AFTER SUNRISE TOMORROW...VFR EVERYWHERE...BUT WILL HAVE TO SEE IF
ANY SHOWERS LINGER AROUND KPOU AFTER 09Z IF THE PROGRESS OF THE
FRONT SLOWS.

SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS THIS AFTERNOON AT 10 KT OR LESS COULD BE
VARIABLE AND GUSTY TO 25 KT OR MORE IN THUNDERSTORMS. THE WINDS
SHOULD SHIFT TO WEST AND NORTHWEST BY THIS EVENING AT LESS THAN 10
KT...THE DIMINISH TO LESS THAN 6 KT AND TREND TOWARD NORTH.
TOMORROW MORNING...WINDS SHOULD BE NORTH NORTHWEST TO NORTH
NORTHEAST AT LESS THAN 10 KT.

OUTLOOK...

THURSDAY NIGHT: NO OPERATIONAL IMPACT.  NO SIG WX.
FRIDAY: NO OPERATIONAL IMPACT.  NO SIG WX.
FRIDAY NIGHT: NO OPERATIONAL IMPACT.  NO SIG WX.
SATURDAY: NO OPERATIONAL IMPACT.  NO SIG WX.
SATURDAY NIGHT: LOW OPERATIONAL IMPACT. SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHRA.
SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY: MODERATE OPERATIONAL IMPACT. CHANCE OF
SHRA...TSRA.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH
EVENING ALONG AND AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT. MOST AREAS SHOULD RECEIVE A
QUARTER INCH OR MORE THROUGH EARLY THURSDAY. SHOWERS COULD LINGER
SOUTH AND EAST OF ALBANY INTO EARLY THURSDAY.

OTHERWISE...IT WILL TURN LESS HUMID ON THURSDAY WITH INCREASING
AFTERNOON SUNSHINE. DRY PLEASANT WEATHER WILL PREVAIL THROUGH
SATURDAY WITH THE FORMATION OF DEW EACH NIGHT.

RH VALUES WILL DIP TO THE 40S ON THURSDAY AFTERNOON...MAINLY 30S
FRIDAY AFTERNOON...AND 40S SATURDAY AFTERNOON.

THE NEXT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE LATE SATURDAY
NIGHT THROUGH AT LEAST MONDAY.

THE SURFACE WIND WILL BE SOUTH 5 TO 15 MPH...GUSTING TO 25 MPH
TONIGHT (POSSIBLY A LOT HIGHER IN AND NEAR THUNDERSTORMS). THE WIND
WILL SHIFT TO NORTH OR NORTHWEST 5 TO 15 MPH TOMORROW AND FRIDAY.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL WORK ACROSS OUR REGION THIS
EVENING...WITH LINGERING SHOWERS POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT SOUTH AND EAST
OF ALBANY. AVERAGE BASIN RAINFALL LOOKS TO BE OVER 0.25
INCHES...WITH LOCALIZED AMOUNTS UP TO TWO INCHES POSSIBLE A FEW OF
THUNDERSTORMS (OR TRAINING THUNDERSTORMS). PWATS ASSOCIATED WITH
THIS AIRMASS WILL APPROACH TWO INCHES THIS EVENING...BEFORE FALLING
OFF LATER OVERNIGHT AND ESPECIALLY ON THURSDAY.

THE HEAVY RAINFALL COULD CAUSE LOCALIZED PONDING OF WATER ON LOW
LYING AREAS AND POOR DRAINAGE AREA. WILL CONTINUE ENHANCED WORDING
FOR HEAVY RAINFALL THROUGH THIS EVENING.

WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE COLD FRONT...A COOLER AND LESS HUMID AIR
WILL BE USHERED IN. EXPECTED SOME LINGERING SHOWERS INTO THURSDAY
MORNING AS THE FRONT WILL BE SLOW TO MOVE OFF TO THE EAST. THEN
LOOKING AT DRY WEATHER INTO AT LEAST THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEKEND.
THE WEATHER WILL TURN UNSETTLED AS WE HEAD INTO THE SECOND HALF OF
THE WEEKEND AND INTO NEXT WEEK.
