AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
333 PM EDT SUN JUL 26 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
WARM HUMID AIR HAS SETTLED INTO THE REGION. A WIND SHIFT LINE WILL DRIFT
SOUTH INTO THE NEW YORK...AND MAY TRIGGER SCATTERED THUNDERSHOWERS
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. MONDAY INTO WEDNESDAY THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY
WILL BUILD...AS HIGH PRESSURE STRENGTHENS OVER THE GREAT LAKES AND
DRIFTS TO THE ATLANTIC SEABOARD. WEAK WEATHER DISTURBANCES...DAYTIME
HEATING AND ABUNDANT HUMIDITY WILL TRIGGER SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS
MONDAY...AND ISOLATED STORMS TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. THESE WILL BE
MAINLY OVER HIGHER TERRAIN. A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE
REGION EARLY THURSDAY...AND LOWER THE HUMIDITY A LITTLE.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...

AS OF 330 PM EDT...A SCATTERED LINE OF CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED
MAINLY SOUTH OF I90 WHERE LAPS DATA SUGGEST SBCAPES WERE AVERAGING
AROUND 1500 J/KG.  WIND SHEAR DOES LACK WITH BULK VALUES WERE 20KTS
OR LESS SO NOT MUCH ORGANIZATION EXPECTED.  HOWEVER...WITHIN DEEPER
CONVECTIVE ELEMENTS THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME HAIL AND/OR DAMAGING WIND
GUSTS DOES EXIST AS THE SPC MARGINAL RISK OUTLOOK LOOKS GOOD AT THIS
TIME.  MOST OF THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD DISSIPATE WITH THE LOSS OF BOTH
DAYTIME HEATING AND THE SLOW PROGRESS OF THE TROUGH AXIS.

OVERNIGHT...THE TROUGH AXIS BECOMES MORE ILL-DEFINED AS IT SETTLES
OVER SOUTHERN NY INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.  MESOSCALE MODELS
SUGGEST THE UPSTREAM SHORT WAVE OVER THE SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES REGION
MAY ASSIST WITH ADDITIONAL ISOLATED CONVECTION IN THE VICINITY OF
THIS TROUGH AXIS AS WE WILL RETAIN THE SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR THE
SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE REGION.  ELSEWHERE...SKIES ARE EXPECTED TO
PARTIALLY CLEAR AND WITH THE HIGHER LOWER LEVEL MOISTURE THE RESULT
COULD BE SOME PATCHY FOG. WARMER AND MORE HUMID TONIGHT WITH LOWS
GENERALLY INTO THE 60S.

MONDAY...THE OLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL BE NEAR THE LOWER HUDSON
VALLEY...SRN NEW ENGLAND...ERN PA...AND NJ. NW FLOW CONTINUES ALOFT.
WEAK IMPULSES IN THE NW FLOW ALOFT COUPLED WITH THE DIFFUSE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY WILL FOCUS SOME ISOLD-SCT SHOWERS AND ISOLD THUNDERSTORMS.
EXPECTING SBCAPES TO BE MAINLY IN THE 500-1500 J/KG RANGE WITH
PERHAPS SOME SLIGHTLY HIGHER VALUES OVER THE SE CATSKILLS...MID
HUDSON VALLEY...AND NW CT. MONDAY SHOULD NOT BE A WASHOUT...BUT A
COMBINATION OF THE WEAK SHORT-WAVE IN NW FLOW ALOFT...AND THE
BOUNDARY WILL FOCUS THE SHOWERS/TSRAS. THE HIGHER POPS WERE USED
ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN.  H850 TEMPS WILL GENERALLY BE IN THE +15C
TO +17C RANGE. HIGH TEMPS WILL BE MAINLY IN THE MID 80S IN THE
VALLEYS...AND U70S TO L80S OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
THE HEAT BUILDS THROUGH THIS PERIOD. THE REGION IS BETWEEN A
SHARPENING 500 HPA RIDGE BUILDING OVER THE GRTLKS AND A SHARPENING
TROF OVER THE MARITIMES AS A 500HPA CUTOFF DIVES SE FM HUDSON'S
BAY TO THE GULF OF SAINT LAWRENCE. THE INITIAL RESPONSE IS SFC
HIGH PRESSURE FORMS/STRENGTHENS OVER THE GRTLKS INCRG SUBSIDENCE...AND
SHIFTS EAST TO THE MID ATLC COAST...AND WAA INCREASES. WHILE THE
SUBSIDENCE WILL PRETTY MUCH DOMINATE...ISOLD CONVECTION IS POSSIBLE
ASSOC WITH SHORT WVS DIVING DOWN THE WEST PERIPHERY OF THE CUT
OFF TO OUR EAST...WAA...DIURNAL HEATING MAINLY OVER ELEVATED TRRN
DURING THE AFTN AND EVENING HOURS.

OTHERWISE TD WILL BE IN THE 60S...MAX TEMPS TUES WILL BE ARND 90
IN MANY AREAS WITH UPPER 80S OVER HIR TRRN. WED WILL TAKE THESE
INTO THE LOW TO MID 90S IN MOST AREAS. MINS WILL BE IN THE 60S FOR
THE MOST PART.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
BY THURSDAY THE 500 HPA RIDGE HAS BECOME QUITE SHARP FM FCA INTO
LABRADOR...AS A CUT OFF RIDES UP THE WEST SIDE OF IT INTO HUD
BAY...WITH A TRAILING CDFNT. SFC PREFRONTAL TROF PUSHES ACROSS
THE RGN EARLY THU...WITH CDFNT CLEARING THE RGN IN THE AFTN. THIS
CDFNT IS WEAKER THAN PVS RUNS...AND MUCH DRIER AIR IS MVNG INTO
FCA BY MID DAY. DYNAMICS...BOUNDARY...AND TEMPERATURE GRADIENT NOT
WELL ALIGNED ATTM...SO ITS A SCT TSTM DAY. ONLY SLIGHTLY COOLER
AND LESS HUMID AIR WILL FILTER INTO RGN...WITH MAX TEMPS NR 90
STILL THU AS TD GOES FROM MID TO LOW 60S. NOT MUCH OF A FRONT.

THUR NT INTO WEEKEND 500HPA FLOW FLATTENS BCMG ZONAL. SFC HIGH
BUILDS FM OHIO VLY INTO RGN THU NT INTO FRI. TEMPS STILL REMAIN A
FEW DEGREES ABV NORMALS WITH TD STILL IN THE 60S. SAT ANOTHER
WEAK CDFNT WILL CROSS THE RGN...BUT DYNAMICS AND JET REMAIN WELL N
OF RGN...ITS MAIN IMPACT WILL BE TO TRIGGER ISOLD TO SCT TSTMS.
OTHERWISE A PS-MS START TO THE WEEKEND WITH JUST A CHC TSTM SAT.
WILL POPULATE WITH HPC AS CONSIDERABLE AGREEMENT REMAINS BTWN
ECMWF/GFS/HPC.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS WITH ISOLATED TO WIDELY
SCATTERED CONVECTION.

CIGS WERE SCT-BKN IN THE LOWER AND MID LEVELS BUT ABOVE MVFR. AS
CONVECTION DEVELOPS...THIS MAY IMPACT TAF LOCATIONS AS WE WILL
PLACE A VCSH FOR THE BALANCE OF THE AFTERNOON INTO EARLY EVENING.
THE ADDITIONAL CHALLENGE OVERNIGHT WILL BE THE FORMATION OF
STRATUS/FOG ESPECIALLY WHERE WET CONDITIONS OCCUR THIS AFTERNOON.
NCEP BUFR PROFILES SIGNAL A RATHER HIGH PROBABILITY FOR IFR
CONDITIONS AS WE WILL PLACE THIS WITHIN THE TAFS FOR KPSF-KGFL AND
MIFG FOR KALB-KPOU.

THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY MAY LINGER SOUTH OF I90 ON MONDAY FOR THE
CHANCE FOR ADDITIONAL CONVECTION. HOWEVER...NORTHWEST FLOW REGIME
COUPLED WITH WEAK DISTURBANCES MAY TRIGGER ADDITIONAL ISOLATED
CONVECTION BUT PROBABILITIES TOO LOW FOR MENTION IN THE TAFS AT
THIS TIME.

A LIGHT SOUTHERLY WIND BECOMES LIGHT AND VARIABLE TONIGHT...THEN
BECOMING SOUTHERLY AGAIN ON MONDAY LESS THAN 10 KTS.

OUTLOOK...
MON NIGHT: NO OPERATIONAL IMPACT. AREAS FG.
TUE-WED: NO OPERATIONAL IMPACT. NO SIG WX.
WED NT-THU: MODERATE OPERATIONAL IMPACT. CHANCE OF SHRA...TSRA.
THU NT-FRI: NO OPERATIONAL IMPACT. NO SIG WX.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE INTO THIS EVNGAS
A WIND SHIFT LINE WILL DRIFT SOUTH INTO THE NEW YORK. MONDAY INTO
WEDNESDAY THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY WILL BUILD...AS HIGH PRESSURE
STRENGTHENS OVER THE GREAT LAKES AND DRIFTS TO THE ATLANTIC
SEABOARD. WEAK WEATHER DISTURBANCES...DAYTIME HEATING AND ABUNDANT
HUMIDITY WILL TRIGGER SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS MONDAY...AND
ISOLATED STORMS TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. THESE WILL BE MAINLY OVER
HIGHER TERRAIN. A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION EARLY
THURSDAY...AND LOWER THE HUMIDITY A LITTLE.

RELATIVE HUMIDITY WILL INCREASE TO CLOSE TO 100 PERCENT TONIGHT IN
THE PATCHY FOG. EXPECT THE RH VALUES TO LOWER TO 40 TO 55 PERCENT
MONDAY AFTERNOON...AND INCREASE TO NEAR 100 PERCENT AGAIN TUESDAY
MORNING.

THE WINDS WILL BE LIGHT MAINLY INTO TUESDAY EXCEPT IN
THUNDERSTORMS.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE THIS EVENING INTO
TUESDAY...MAINLY OVER HIGHER TRRN...IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING
HOURS. SOME OF THE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING
LOCALLY HEAVY DOWNPOURS WITH LOCALIZED WITHIN BANK RISES...AS
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES WILL BE IN THE 1 TO 1.5 INCH RANGE.

IT WILL BECOME HOT AND HUMID MUCH OF THE UPCOMING WEEK WITH
MAINLY DRY WEATHER. THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE THURSDAY AS A
COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE REGION. SOME HEAVY DOWNPOURS ARE
POSSIBLE WITH THE THUNDERSTORMS THURSDAY WHICH MAY CAUSE PONDING
OF WATER ON ROADWAYS AND POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING OF LOW- LYING
AREAS.
