Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Albany NY
828 PM EDT TUE AUG 16 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
An area of low pressure will pass to our north tonight with its
associated fronts moving across the region resulting in some
showers and thunderstorms. The greatest chances for storms is
north of Interstate 90. Some of the thunderstorms may become
strong to severe with the main threat for damaging winds. Any
storm will be capable of producing heavy downpours. Wednesday will
feature increasing sunshine and lowering humidity levels.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING/...
Severe thunderstorm watch #448 remains in effect until 1 am for
the western Adirondacks, Lake George Saratoga region, greater
Capital District, Mohawk Valley and Schoharie Valley in the
vicinity of a warm front.

Primary severe threat damaging winds from bow line segments with
isolated tornadoes possible. Storms will be capable of heavy
rainfall and frequent lightning. Threat for strong to severe
remains for the rest of the forecast area.

A line of convection extends from the western Adirondacks
southwestward across central NY into central PA. The SPC
mesoscale analysis indicates CAPEs of 1000-2000 J/kg with this
line. It appears the warm front has shifted a bit farther north
as lower clouds broken up at KGFL however winds have not picked up
yet. Airmass to the north of the boundary is rather stable with
CAPEs below 500 J/kg. Wind fields will be at their strongest
across the area this evening as the surface low passes to our
north. The line of convection appears is to be strengthening with
lightning activity picking up. The NYS mesonet is reporting gusts
of 35 to 40 mph with some of the storms. Any storms that interact
with the warm front could become supercells with the increased
shear (speed and directional) across the boundary thus the
isolated threat of tornadoes. Also have a weakening line on
convection moving across the lower Hudson Valley.

Area of low pressure will pass to our north tonight, pressure
falls are occurring along the United States/Canada border. As the
surface low moves to our east it will drag its associated
cold/cool front across the area overnight. Guidance indicates the
activity's intensity will wind down by late evening/early
morning.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
In the wake of the cold/cool front a drier airmass will be ushered
in northwesterly winds. Dew points are expected to fall back into
the 60s. As the low moves farther away Wednesday will be have
increasing sunshine as the day progresses.

There's a slight chance for the development of a few storms
Thursday as a weak short wave approaches and moves across the
region. Otherwise, above normal temperatures by around 5 degrees
with dew points in the upper 50s to lower 60s quite pleasant.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Looking at fair weather as we close out the work week and head
into the weekend as ridging dominates as the surface and aloft.
Short wave energy rotating about the upper low near Hudson's Bay
and additional short wave energy from the Pacific Northwest will
result in the development and deepening of a trough across
Plains. This trough and its associated low pressure system will
bring the region chances for showers and thunderstorms to Sunday
and Monday. At this time, the surface low is forecast to track up
the Saint Lawrence River Valley.

Above normal tempertures will continue with highs 5 to 10 degrees
above normal. Dew points are expected to remain in the 60s so
oppressive conditions are not anticipated.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
An area of low pressure will pas to our north tonight and as it
moves off to the east will drag its associated cold front across
the area overnight. Guidance indicates convective activity
intensity will wind down by late evening/early morning. Ridging
will build in Wednesday.

A line of convection extends from the western Adirondacks
southwestward across central NY into central PA and appears is
to be strengthening with lightning activity picking up. The warm
front located across the area appears to have shifted a bit
farther north as lower clouds broken up at KGFL however winds have
not picked up yet. Timing convection eastward with radar and
mesoscale guidance have a TEMPO group for storms in KGFL TAF for
convection where have the greatest confidence with vicinity in
other TAFs. Also have a line of weakening storms moving across the
lower Hudson Valley missed KPOU.

Southerly winds will be gusty especially up the Hudson River
Valley to the south of the warm front. Winds will shift as the
cold/cool front approaches and passes through shifting more to the
west then northwest through the TAF period. Winds are expected to
gusts in the teens and low 20s with the west to northwest flow.

Outlook...

Wednesday Night: No Operational Impact. NO SIG WX.
Thursday: Low Operational Impact. Slight Chance of SHRA...TSRA.
Thursday Night: No Operational Impact. NO SIG WX.
Friday: No Operational Impact. NO SIG WX.
Friday Night: No Operational Impact. NO SIG WX.
Saturday: Low Operational Impact. Slight Chance of SHRA...TSRA.
Saturday Night: Low Operational Impact. Slight Chance of SHRA...TSRA.
Sunday: Moderate Operational Impact. Chance of SHRA...TSRA.

.FIRE WEATHER...
An area of low pressure will pass to our north tonight with its
associated fronts moving across the region resulting in some
showers and thunderstorms. The greatest chances for storms is
north of Interstate 90. Some of the thunderstorms may become
strong to severe with the main threat for damaging winds. Any
storm will be capable of producing heavy downpours. Wednesday will
feature increasing sunshine and lowering humidity levels.

Minimum relative humidity values will drop only in the 50s both
Wednesday and Thursday afternoons.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
A very and humid airmass is being ushered back into the region as
a warm front continues to lift northward across the area. Dew
points are back up into the lower 70s in many places. Precipitable
water values are back up around 2 inches, so storms will be
capable of producing heavy downpours. The storms will be moving
fairly quickly however if storms move over the same areas (train)
there could be an issue. Some flooding of low lying and poor
drainage areas is possible and cannot rule out the threat for
isolated flash flooding.

A cold/cool front will move across the region overnight ushering
a less humid airmass back in with dew points falling back onto the
60s.

Mainly fair weather is expected the rest of the week with better
chances for storms Sunday and Monday as a low pressure system
approaches and crosses the region.

and forecast river stages and lake elevations, please visit the
