AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
155 AM EDT TUE MAY 12 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT NEAR THE MOHAWK VALLEY...AND CENTRAL NEW
ENGLAND WILL CONTINUE TO BRING A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
TO THE REGION OVERNIGHT.  THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH EASTERN NEW YORK
AND WESTERN NEW ENGLAND TOMORROW INTO TOMORROW NIGHT.  THE AIR MASS
WILL TURN COOLER AND DRIER ON WEDNESDAY WITH TEMPERATURES BACK TO
NEAR NORMAL OR SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL READINGS FOR MAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
THUNDERSTORMS APPROACHING THE WESTERN MOHAWK VALLEY AND SOUTHERN
ADIRONDACKS. SHORT TERM MESOSCALE MODELS SUGGEST THE CONVECTION
WILL WEAKEN CONSIDERABLY AS IT TRACKS INTO THE CENTRAL MOHAWK
VALLEY AND EAST OF THE SCHOHARIE VALLEY. HAVE ADJUSTED RAIN
CHANCES THROUGH SUNRISE BASED ON CURRENT TRENDS. FEW OTHER CHANGES
NEEDED AS TEMPERATURES SHOULD REACH AROUND FORECASTED LOWS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL BE MOVING THROUGH THE EASTERN GREAT
LAKES EARLY TUESDAY MORNING AND THROUGH OUR FA DURING THE MID DAY
HOURS TO EARLY AFTERNOON ON TUESDAY AS LOW PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS
SOUTHERN CANADA. SO THE BEST CHANCES FOR CONVECTION LOOK TO BE
THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON ON TUESDAY. EXPECT HIGHS ON TUESDAY IN
UPPER 60S TO LOWER 80S WITH TEMPS FALLING LATE IN THE DAY AS COLD
AIR ADVECTION TAKES HOLD.

TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY...THE COLD FRONT WILL BE WELL EAST
OF THE REGION BY TUESDAY EVENING. HOWEVER...THE UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH AXIS AND AN ASSOCIATED SFC TROUGH WILL BE MOVING ACROSS
MOST OF THE FCST AREA TUE NIGHT INTO WED WITH A SLIGHT TO LOW OF
SHOWERS...ESPECIALLY FROM THE CAPITAL REGION...NRN CATSKILLS...AND
BERKSHIRES NORTHWARD. IT WILL BE BRISK AND MUCH COOLER TUESDAY
NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY WITH LOWS TUESDAY NIGHT IN THE UPPER 30S TO
UPPER 40S AND HIGHS ON WEDNESDAY IN THE MID 50S TO MID 60S.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY WILL BE MARKED BY CLEAR SKIES AND
COOL CONDITIONS WITH FROST POSSIBLE ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS
TEMPERATURES DROP INTO THE UPPER 20S TO UPPER 30S. WILL HIGHLIGHT
THIS IN THE HWO EXCEPT FOR THE SOUTHERN ADIRONDACKS WHERE THE
GROWING SEASON HAS NOT STARTED YET. HIGHS ON THURSDAY WILL BE IN
THE 60S.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
THE PERIOD STARTS OUT DRY...BUT DIFFUSE OR WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARIES
WILL BRING AT LEAST A CHANCE OF SHOWERS FOR FRIDAY NIGHT AND
SATURDAY.  THEREAFTER...THE HUMIDITY WILL HANG AROUND...BUT MOST
LOCATIONS WILL BE LOOKING AT ONLY SLIGHT CHANCES OF SHOWERS.
INSTABILITY APPEARS TO BE TOO LOE FOR THUNDERSTORMS.

HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL INCREASE FROM A RANGE OF LOWER AND MID 60S TO
THE MID 70S FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...TO FROM THE LOWER AND MID 70S TO
THE LOWER AND MID 80S ON SUNDAY.  OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL ALSO MODERATE
EACH DAY...STARTING OUT WITH A THURSDAY NIGHT RANGE FROM THE UPPER
30S TO UPPER 40S...AND CULMINATING WITH SUNDAY NIGHT LOWS IN THE MID
AND UPPER 50S.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
A DIFFICULT AVIATION FORECAST OVER THE FIRST 6 HOURS OF THE TAF
PERIOD...AS THE REGION REMAINS IN AN ANOMALOUSLY WARM AND MOIST
AIR MASS...WITH A COLD FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE WEST.

VARYING CONDITIONS OCCURRING AT THE TERMINALS EARLY THIS
MORNING...WITH MAINLY MVFR CIGS. THERE HAVE BEEN SOME OCCASIONAL
BREAKS IN THE LOWER CLOUD DECK AT KALB/KGFL...ALTHOUGH THEY SHOULD
TEND TO FILL IN OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. THE MAIN QUESTION WILL BE
IF IFR CIGS WILL OCCUR AT KPSF/KPOU...AS THESE SITES ARE CLOSE
WITH CIGS OF 1300-16OO FT AT THIS TIME. THE BETTER CHANCE APPEARS
TO BE AT KPSF DUE TO HIGHER ELEVATION...SO WILL MENTION TEMPOS FOR
IFR. LOWER CONFIDENCE AT KPOU WHERE ONLY A 2-HOUR TEMPO FOR IFR
WILL BE MENTIONED. THERE IS ALSO A CHANCE OF IFR CONDITIONS AT
KGFL MAINLY AFTER 09Z AS A LINE OF SHOWERS WITH POSSIBLE THUNDER
IS EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH. AGAIN WILL MENTION POTENTIAL IFR
OCCURRENCE IN A TEMPO GROUP.

CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE TO VFR BETWEEN 13Z-14Z AS DRIER AIR
STARTS TO FILTER IN AND BETTER MIXING OCCURS. THERE WILL STILL BE
A CHANCE OF A PASSING SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM FROM LATE MORNING
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS AS A SECONDARY BOUNDARY MOVES THROUGH
THE REGION.

WINDS WILL INITIALLY BE SOUTHERLY AROUND 3-10 KTS WITH SOME HIGHER
GUSTS AT KALB/KPSF...THEN BECOMING SOUTHWEST AT 9-12 KTS BY MID
MORNING...INCREASING TO 13-17 KTS WITH GUSTS OF 20-30 KTS LIKELY
DURING THE AFTERNOON.

OUTLOOK...

TUESDAY NIGHT: LOW OPERATIONAL IMPACT. BREEZY. ISOLATED SHRA.
WEDNESDAY: MODERATE OPERATIONAL IMPACT. WINDY. ISOLATED SHRA.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: LOW OPERATIONAL IMPACT. BREEZY. NO SIG WX.
THURSDAY TO FRIDAY: NO OPERATIONAL IMPACT. NO SIG WX.
FRIDAY NIGHT: LOW OPERATIONAL IMPACT. SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHRA.
SATURDAY: MODERATE OPERATIONAL IMPACT. CHANCE OF SHRA.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR BERKSHIRE COUNTY FROM 11 AM UNTIL 8 PM ON
TUESDAY.

A COLD FRONT OVER NORTHERN NEW YORK AND NEW ENGLAND WILL BRING
MORE WIDESPREAD CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FROM THIS
AFTERNOON INTO TUESDAY BEFORE THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH OUR REGION.
VERY WARM TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN IN PLACE WITH INCREASING
HUMIDITY LEVELS. THE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE WILL USHER IN MUCH
COOLER AND DRIER AIR BY WEDNESDAY.

RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES WILL RECOVER TO 85 TO 100 PERCENT
TONIGHT...DROP TO 30 TO 45 PERCENT ON TUESDAY...RECOVER TO 70 TO
100 PERCENT TUESDAY NIGHT...AND DROP TO 35 TO 50 PERCENT ON
WEDNESDAY.

WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BE SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST AT LESS THAN 15 MPH
TONIGHT AND WEST AT 10 TO 20 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 35 MPH BY TUESDAY
AFTERNOON THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT AND NORTHWEST WINDS OF 10 TO 20
MPH WITH GUSTS TO 35 MPH ON WEDNESDAY.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
THERE WILL BE GRADUALLY INCREASING CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS SPREADING SOUTH AND EAST THROUGH TUESDAY...AS A LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM AND FRONTAL BOUNDARY APPROACH AND EVENTUALLY MOVE
THROUGH THE REGION.

IT HAS BEEN VERY DRY ACROSS THE HYDRO SERVICE AREA IN RECENT WEEKS.
THERE IS A CHANCE OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL ASSOCIATED WITH
THUNDERSTORMS ESPECIALLY THOSE WHICH TRAIN...ALTHOUGH RAINFALL
WILL BE BENEFICIAL IN MOST PLACES DUE TO VERY DRY ANTECEDENT
GROUND CONDITIONS. BASIN-AVERAGE RAINFALL WILL NOT BE UNIFORM DUE
TO THE CONVECTIVE NATURE OF THE PRECIPITATION. THE WESTERN MOHAWK
VALLEY...SOUTHERN ADIRONDACKS AND LAKE GEORGE SARATOGA REGION
HAVE THE BEST CHANCES TO SEE A HALF INCH TO INCH OF RAIN OR MORE THROUGH
TUESDAY. THE SCHOHARIE VALLEY...CAPITAL DISTRICT TO SOUTHERN
VERMONT AND POINTS SOUTH ARE EXPECTED TO GET A TENTH OF AN INCH
TO A THIRD OF AN INCH WITH LOCALIZED HIGHER AMOUNTS.
