Area forecast discussion, Aug 18, 2:50 PM EDT, 3 hours 15 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BINGHAMTON NY
250 PM EDT TUE AUG 18 2015
.SYNOPSIS...
A SERIES OF UPPER-LEVEL DISTURBANCES, WILL BRING HIT AND MISS
THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AND AGAIN WEDNESDAY MAINLY
DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. MUCH OF THIS TIME FRAME,
THOUGH, SHOULD BE RAIN- FREE, WITH WARM, HUMID SUMMER-TIME
CONDITIONS PERSISTING. AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT, WILL BRING A
VERY HIGH CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS, BY LATER THURSDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS THE
REGION WITH MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINFALL. TEMPS OUTSIDE OF THE
SHOWERS HAVE REACHED THE UPPER 80S AND LOWER 90S WITH
UNCOMFORTABLE DEWPTS IN THE MID 60S TO NEAR 70. CONVECTIVE
ACTIVITY WILL DROP OFF AFTER SUNSET...WITH LITTLE TO NO ACTIVITY
EXPECTED SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT AT THE LATEST. STICKY AND MUGGY
NIGHT WITH LOWS STRUGGLING TO DROP INTO THE MID TO UPPER 60S FOR
MANY...SOME LOW LEVEL CLOUDS LIKELY SHOULD LIMIT FOG TO VERY PATCHY
AT BEST IN FOG PRONE AREAS.
&&
.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
DECENT MODEL AGREEMENT THROUGH THE PERIOD WILL ALLOW FOR ABOVE
AVERAGE CONFIDENCE IN THE FORECAST. MOSTLY CLOUDY WITH SOME PEAKS
OF SUN...TEMPS REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL WITH HIGH DEWPTS REMAINING IN
THE MID TO UPPER 60S. SOME SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MAY DEVELOP
IN THE AFTERNOON/EVENING...SCATTERED...WITH HEAVY RAINFALL STILL
POSSIBILITY AS PWATS REMAIN IN THE 1.5 TO 2 INCH RANGE. ACTIVITY
SHOULD LESSEN OVERNIGHT INTO THURSDAY. THE COLD FRONT WILL WORK
ITS WAY INTO THE REGION ON THURSDAY...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
WILL BE MOST LIKELY IN THE LATE AFTERNOON THROUGH OVERNIGHT HOURS.
HEAVY RAINFALL STILL POSSIBLE ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT WITH
PWATS REMAINING NEARLY 2 STD DEV ABV NORMAL. NOT LOOKING FOR
SEVERE...JUST HEAVY RAIN THREAT WITH POSSIBLE FLASH FLOODING.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
330 AM UPDATE...
A FRONT WILL BE IN THE PROCESS OF CLEARING OUR AREA EARLY FRIDAY,
WITH DRIER WEATHER BUILDING IN DURING THE DAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL
CONTROL OUR WEATHER FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY, MAKING FOR A NICE
START TO THE WEEKEND. MODEL TRENDS CONTINUE TO POINT TO MORE
CLOUDS AND PERHAPS EVEN SOME SHOWERS BY SUNDAY ESPECIALLY ACROSS
NEPA AND THE CATSKILLS. THE PATTERN WILL BE ONE OF A HOLDING
PATTERN AS THE MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONT MENTIONED ABOVE
GETS HELD UP BY AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER THE ATLANTIC. THE
PERSISTENT FLOW AROUND THIS LOW WILL PUSH MOISTURE BACK TO THE
WEST SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY. THE 0Z GFS BRINGS CLOUDS AND
SHOWERS TO THE ENTIRE CWA SUNDAY, WITH THE EURO FARTHER EAST BUT
STILL HAS SHOWERS INTO OUR EASTERN FORECAST AREA. GIVEN AN
INHERITED DRY FORECAST FOR SUNDAY, I WANTED TO MAKE A GRADUAL
TREND TOWARD A MORE PESSIMISTIC FORECAST BY INCREASING CLOUDS
EVERYWHERE AND INCLUDING SHOWERS FOR NEPA AND CATSKILLS. WHATEVER
THE CASE SUNDAY A NEW COLD FRONT WILL KEEP SHOWERS AND EVEN
THUNDERSTORMS IN THE AREA FOR MONDAY.
&&
.AVIATION /19Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
EXPECT SCATTERED SHOWERS WITH THE CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS FOR THIS
AFTERNOON. WE CONTINUE TO MENTION THE SHOWERS AND MVFR
RESTRICTIONS IN VIS FOR ALL SITES EXCEPT KAVP. HOWEVER WITH THE
EXCEPTION OF KRME, WHERE THUNDER IS CURRENTLY OCCURRING, THE
CHANCES OF THUNDER AFFECTING INDIVIDUAL TAF SITES IS JUST NOT
HIGH ENOUGH TO WARRANT INCLUSION IN TAFS. SHOWERS AND ANY STORMS
DIMINISH AROUND SUNSET.
EXPECT INCREASING MID LEVEL CLOUDINESS HEADING INTO TONIGHT. ALSO
GUIDANCE IS INDICATING POTENTIAL FOR A LOW STRATUS DECK TO SET UP
FROM THE SOUTH LATE TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING. AT THIS POINT
CONFIDENCE FOR ANY CIG RESTRICTIONS WITH THIS IS ONLY HIGH ENOUGH
TO WARRANT INCLUSION IN KAVP TAF WITH LOW VFR IN TAF FORECAST FOR
KBGM/KITH.
WINDS REMAIN LIGHT EXCEPT LOCALLY GUSTY IN ANY SHOWERS/STORMS.
.OUTLOOK...
WED PM...A FEW RESTRICTIONS IN SCT SHRA-TSRA
THU...EXPECT IFR- MVFR RESTRICTIONS IN MORE ORGANIZED SHRA-TSRA
WITH A FRONTAL PASSAGE THU-THU NGT.
FRI...MAINLY VFR.

CHC FOR SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL AMOUNT IN SHORT PERIODS OF TIME
ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE FINGER LAKES THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY
EVENING WITH SLOW MOVING STORMS. PWATS NEARING 1.5 TO 2 INCHES
ALONG WITH NO CAP TO LIMIT CONVECTION AND SLOW MOVING STORMS AS
STEERING WINDS ARE RUNNING AROUND 10MPH...SOME TRAINING POSSIBLE
