AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
1120 PM EST WED FEB 24 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL PASS WEST OF THE REGION
TONIGHT...ALLOWING FOR PERIODS OF RAIN AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS.
ANY THUNDERSTORM WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LOCALLY STRONG WIND
GUSTS. TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO RISE...REACHING VERY MILD
LEVELS FOR TOMORROW MORNING ...WITH SHOWERS ENDING.  COOLER
TEMPERATURES AND A FEW PASSING SNOW SHOWERS AND FLURRIES WILL RETURN
ON FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
AS OF 1120 AM EST...WE WENT AHEAD AND ISSUED A HIGH WIND WARNING FOR
THE GREENS OF SOUTHERN VERMONT...BERKSHIRES...CENTRAL AND NORTHERN
TACONICS. WIND GUSTS AT BENNINGTON HAD REACHED NEARLY 60 MPH AS THEY
WERE FIRMLY IN THE WARM AIR SECTOR. MOST OF THE OTHER AREAS WERE
IN THE WARM AIR SECTOR...OR WILL BE VERY SOON. THE WARNING IS IN EFFECT
THROUGH 600 AM. AFTER THAT TIME...THE STRONGEST WIND FIELD SHOULD HAVE MOVED
ENTIRELY OUT OF OUR REGION.

AREAS OF HEAVY RAIN WORKING INTO THE REGION...INCLUDING SOME
EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS. A LINE OF HEAVY SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED
THUNDERSTORMS WAS WORKING FROM THE WEST AND SOUTHWEST INTO
OUR AREA.

UPDATE ATTEMPTS TO REFLECT THE FAST ON GOING HOUR CHANGES.

LOOK FOR THE WARM FRONT TO WORK NORTH AND WEST INTO MUCH OF OUR
AREA THROUGH THE NIGHT. THE WIND WILL SWITCH TO THE SOUTH AND GUST
UP TO 35-40 MPH...PERHAPS HIGHER IN THE VICINITY OF ANY THUNDERSTORMS.

A LARGE AND DYNAMIC STORM SYSTEM WAS LOCATED
SW NEW YORK STATE...WITH A WARM FRONT EXTENDING EASTNORTHEASTWARD ACROSS
SOUTHERN NEW YORK AND SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.
PERIODS OF MODERATE TO TORRENTIAL RAIN HAVE MOVED INTO MUCH OF THE AREA
AS A CONVECTIVE LINE SEGMENT CONTINUES TO MOVE THROUGH THE FA.

WITH THIS STORM PASSING TO OUR WEST TONIGHT...A STRONG
SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL BE IN PLACE AT LOW AND MID LEVELS...WITH 850
HPA WINDS EXCEEDING 70 KTS THIS EVENING. THESE 850 V WINDS ARE 3-4
STD ABOVE NORMAL. IN ADDITION...THIS STRONG SOUTHERLY FLOW IS
ALLOWING FOR PWATS TO RISE TO 3-4 STD ABOVE NORMAL AS WELL. WE
HAVE ISSUED A WIND ADVISORY FOR NW CT...AS THE STRONG WINDS ALOFT
MAY BE ABLE TO MIX DOWN TO THE SFC IF IT CAN BREAK THE STRONG LOW
LEVEL INVERSION IN PLACE...AND THE MOST LIKELY PLACE FOR THIS TO
OCCUR WOULD BE IN NW CT.

AS THE STORM SYSTEM LIFTS NORTHEAST TOWARDS THE EASTERN GREAT
LAKES...A BAND OF STORMS WILL MOVE NORTHEAST AS WELL AS THE
STORM/S OCCLUDED FRONT LIFTS NORTHEAST. THE 3KM HRRR SHOWS THAT
WHAT/S LEFT OF THIS LINE WILL BE MOVING THROUGH OUR AREA FROM NOW
THROUGH AROUND MIDNIGHT. THE ENVIRONMENT IS MUCH DIFFERENT HERE
THAN OVER THE MID ATLANTIC...AS COOL LOW LEVEL TEMPS AND A STRONG
LOW LEVEL INVERSION WILL KEEP INSTABILITY RATHER LOW AND HELP
PREVENT THE WORST OF THE WINDS FROM MIXING DOWN. ANY CONVECTIVE
ELEMENTS PRESENT WILL LIKELY BE ELEVATED. STILL...CANNOT RULE OUT
SOME LOCALIZED STRONG TO SEVERE WIND GUSTS FROM MIXING DOWN IN
PLACES WHERE THE INVERSION CAN BE BROKEN...AND SPC HAS MOST OF OUR
AREA IN A MARGINAL TO SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER.

AS WE GET TOWARDS THE WARM SECTOR...THE SOUTHERLY FLOW COULD HELP
TEMPS SPIKE TONIGHT INTO THE 40S...50S...AND LOWER 60S WHICH
WOULD HELP WEAKEN THAT LOW LEVEL INVERSION AS WELL.

IN ADDITION TO THE THREAT FOR GUSTY WINDS...RAIN WILL BE MODERATE
TO LOCALLY TORRENTIAL AHEAD OF THE STORM/S COLD FRONT. A GENERAL
ONE TO TWO INCHES IS EXPECTED OVER THE AREA...SEE OUR HYDRO
DISCUSSION BELOW FOR HOW WE EXPECT THIS RAINFALL TO IMPACT OUR
HSA.

THE STEADIEST RAINFALL WILL BE TAPERING OFF BY 08Z-09Z /ACCORDING
TO THE HIRES GUIDANCE/. CANNOT RULED OUT SOME LINGERING RAIN
SHOWERS BEHIND THE OCCLUDED BOUNDARY THANKS TO THE UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH MOVING THROUGH...BUT THE HEAVIEST RAIN WILL CERTAINLY BE
DONE BY THAT TIME.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
THURSDAY WILL CONTINUE TO FEATURE MILD TEMPS TO START THE
DAY...BUT THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVING OVER THE REGION...TEMPS
ALOFT WILL START TO COOL OFF. THIS WILL HELP TEMPS START TO FALL
BACK DOWN FOR THE AFTERNOON HOURS. IT LOOKS TO REMAIN CLOUDY WITH
THE CYCLONIC FLOW IN PLACE...AND THERE COULD BE SOME ADDITIONAL
RAIN SHOWERS...ESP FOR WESTERN/NORTHERN AREAS. TEMPS WILL FALL
THROUGH THE 40S IN THE AFTN HOURS...AND REACH THE MID TO UPPER
30S OVER THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS BY LATE IN THE DAY.

TEMPS WILL CONTINUE TO FALL INTO THE TEENS AND 20S FOR THURSDAY
NIGHT...AS 850 HPA TEMPS CRASH TO -12 TO -20 DEGREES C. THE THREAT
FOR PRECIP WILL END FOR MOST AREAS...BUT CANNOT RULE OUT A FEW
LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS OR FLURRIES FOR FAR WESTERN/NORTHERN AREAS.

AS THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH STARTS TO MOVE AWAY...MAINLY DRY WEATHER
IS EXPECTED FOR FRI INTO FRI NIGHT...WITH CLEARING SKIES. TEMPS
ALOFT WILL REMAIN CHILLY...SO TEMPS WILL CONTINUE TO BE COLD
ACROSS THE REGION. HIGHS ON FRIDAY WILL ONLY BE 20S TO LOW 30S
/TEENS OVER THE ADIRONDACKS/ AND LOWS ON FRI NIGHT WILL BE IN THE
SINGLE DIGITS AND TEENS.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THE LONG TERM PERIOD IS EXPECTED TO START DRY AND COOL AND QUICKLY
TRANSITION TO MILDER AND WET CONDITIONS HEADING INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

FOR SATURDAY A LARGE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO STRETCH
ALL THE WAY FROM THE GULF COAST STATES THROUGH THE NORTHEAST US AND
INTO EASTERN CANADA. HIGHS ON SATURDAY WILL BE IN THE UPPER 20S TO
UPPER 30S WITH LOWS SATURDAY NIGHT IN THE 20S.

ON SUNDAY A BACKDOOR COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO SLIP SOUTH FROM
CANADA AND STALL ACROSS THE REGION AS A WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE RACES
EAST ALONG THE STALLED FRONT ON MONDAY. THERE WILL BE AN INCREASING
CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION FROM SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY AS THE LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES INTO THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES. HIGHS ON SUNDAY
ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN THE UPPER 30S TO AROUND 50 WITH LOWS SUNDAY
NIGHT IN THE 30S AND HIGHS ON MONDAY IN THE MID 30S TO LOWER 50S.

FOR MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE MOVING IN BEHIND
THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WITH MORE SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES. LOWS MONDAY
NIGHT WILL BE IN THE MID TEENS TO UPPER 20S WITH HIGHS ON TUESDAY
IN THE UPPER 20S TO MID 40S.

FOR TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY YET ANOTHER FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL
APPROACH THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES AND BECOME NEARLY STATIONARY
ALLOWING FOR MORE UNSETTLED CONDITIONS. LOWS ON TUESDAY NIGHT ARE
EXPECTED TO BE IN THE MID TEENS TO UPPER 20S WITH HIGHS ON WEDNESDAY
IN THE UPPER 20S TO MID 40S.

&&

.AVIATION /04Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL TRACK WEST OF THE REGION
OVERNIGHT INTO THURSDAY. A WARM FRONT WILL LIFT NORTHWARD THIS
EVENING...THEN A COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP EASTWARD BY DAYBREAK
THURSDAY.

AREAS OF LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE REGION
THIS EVENING...TRANSITIONING TO SHOWERS LATER THIS EVENING INTO
DAYBREAK THURSDAY. A LINE OF HEAVIER SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED
THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED TO TRACK EASTWARD ACROSS THE TAF SITES
BETWEEN ROUGHLY 02Z-06Z/THU. A BRIEF PERIOD OF HEAVY RAIN...AND
STRONG WIND GUSTS WILL BE POSSIBLE AT THIS PASSES THROUGH.

ON THURSDAY...SHOWERS WILL BECOME MORE SCATTERED AND LIGHT.

FLIGHT CONDITIONS WILL BE MAINLY IFR/LIFR AS THE WARM FRONT LIFTS
NORTHWARD THIS EVENING...THEN MAY IMPROVE SLIGHTLY TO OCCASIONAL
MVFR AFTER MIDNIGHT. ON THURSDAY...EXPECT MAINLY VFR VSBYS...WITH
VFR TO MVFR CIGS...ESP AT KPSF.

BEFORE THE WARM FRONT LIFTS THROUGH...EXPECT WINDS TO BE MAINLY
FROM THE NORTH TO NORTHEAST AT 5-10 KT. THEN...AS THE WARM FRONT
SURGES THROUGH...WINDS WILL SHIFT INTO THE SOUTHEAST TO SOUTH AND
INCREASE TO 10-20 KT...WITH STRONGER GUSTS POSSIBLE...ESP AT KALB.
WINDS WILL SHIFT INTO THE SOUTHWEST AROUND OR AFTER DAYBREAK AS
THE COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH AT 8-12 KT...THEN BECOME MORE
WEST/SOUTHWEST IN THE AFTERNOON.

WIND GUSTS COULD BE MUCH STRONGER...AND VARIABLE IN DIRECTION IN
AND NEAR ANY THUNDERSTORMS.

LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR WILL REMAIN AN ISSUE FOR MUCH OF THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS...ESP BEFORE THE WARM FRONT LIFTS THROUGH...SINCE
SFC WINDS WILL REMAIN FROM THE N/NE AT GENERALLY LESS THAN 10
KT...WHILE WINDS AROUND 2000 FT AGL INCREASE FROM THE SOUTH AT
40-50 KT. THE LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR THREAT WILL DIMINISH AROUND OR
AFTER DAYBREAK THURSDAY.

OUTLOOK...

THURSDAY NIGHT: MODERATE OPERATIONAL IMPACT. BREEZY CHANCE OF SHRA...SHSN.
FRIDAY: LOW OPERATIONAL IMPACT. BREEZY NO SIG WX.
FRIDAY NIGHT: NO OPERATIONAL IMPACT. NO SIG WX.
SATURDAY: NO OPERATIONAL IMPACT. NO SIG WX.
