Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Albany NY
1021 PM EDT MON JUN 20 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will move across eastern New York and western New
England tonight with scattered showers and thunderstorms.  Cooler
and drier air will move back into the region for Tuesday with
seasonable temperatures.  An upper level disturbance will bring some
isolated to scattered showers Tuesday night into Wednesday mainly
from the Capital Region and Mohawk Valley north and west.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
Severe Thunderstorm Watch 277 valid until midnight has been posted
for Herkimer, Hamilton, Warren, and Fulton counties. Severe
thunderstorm warning just issued for Herkimer/Hamilton counties.
Classic bow echo on radar traversing the north country now.

Reasoning for severe weather chances tonight have not changed from
earlier...instability in the watch area is 500-1000 j/kg. 0-6km
shear is on the order of 35 knots. Here at ALY, evening sounding
yielded only CAPE of only 87 j/kg...although DCAPE was an
impressive 1100 plus j/kg. 850-500mb lapse rates were only 6.0
C/km. Given these numbers, threat area remains across the
Adirondacks.

As for timing...our expectation is for a line of showers and
thunderstorms moving into the western Dacks...and the western
Mohawk Valley between 02Z- 04Z...before translating
south/southeast into the Capital Region and Western New England
between 05Z-07Z...and then further south and east into NW CT and
the Mid Hudson Valley between 07Z- 10Z. A chance of thunderstorms
was included for all locations with some likely pops over the
w-cntrl Mohawk Valley...southern Adirondacks...and the Lake George
Region.

PWATs increase 1-1.50 inches or slightly higher...with the highest
QPF realized north and west of Capital Region with up to a half an
inch.

Lows tonight will be close to wet bulb readings where the showers
occur with the weakening/diminishing and broken line of
convection. They will range from the mid 50s over the southern
Dacks to the lower to mid 60s over the Capital Region...mid-Hudson
Valley and NW CT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
Tomorrow...Strong subsidence in the wake of the prefrontal sfc
trough and cold front will occur...as all the showers and isold
thunderstorms move south and east of the mid-Hudson Valley...and
NW CT btwn 6-8 am. The skies will become partly to mostly sunny
with the winds shifting to the west to northwest at 10-20
mph...and the humidities will lower quite a bit. Highs will trend
closer to seasonal early summer readings with mid 70s to lower 80s
in the valleys...and mid 60s to mid 70s over the hills and mtns.

Tue night...The forecast area remains under the influence of
cyclonic flow with a upper trough over ERN Canada and the
Northeast. A short-wave will move across the eastern Great Lakes
and into northern NY between 06Z-12Z according to the
GFS/ECMWF/NAM and focus some isolated to scattered
showers...especially from the I-90 corridor northward. Low-level
cold advection will still be ongoing with H850 temps falling to
+6C to +10C. A sfc wave will also form near the old front boundary
south of the region...and will spread some clouds northward from
NJ and Long Island. Lows will be in the mid 40s to mid 50s.

Wednesday...The cold pool to the upper trough will allow for some
instability sprinkles and showers...especially from the Capital
Region north and west to form. They will be most prevalent over
the higher terrain. Sun will mix with clouds...and it will be a
tad cooler than normal. Highs in the 60s to lower 70s are likely
over the mtns...and mid 70s to around 80F in the valleys. It will
be breezy with west to northwest winds of 10-20 mph.

Wed night...A lot of uncertainty continues between the NAM/GFS
and the Canadian GGEM/ECMWF in terms the timing of cyclone or MCS
approaching from the lower Great Lakes Region. We increased the
pops to low chc south of the Capital Region for some over running
light rain showers or stratiform light rain. If the NAM/GFS is
right it will be a soaking rainfall THU late morning into the
afternoon. The environment looks stable at this time...unless the
wave or MCS tracks north. Lows once again will be in the upper 40s
to mid 50s.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
The main forecast challenge during the long term period is
uncertainty regarding the track of a fast-moving low pressure system
approaching from the Midwest and Great Lakes on Thursday. With zonal
W-NW flow aloft, models are having a difficult time resolving this
feature as the main energy with this developing system is still off
the Pacific NW coast at this time. Some model guidance has trended
northward with the track, including the GFS which brings significant
qpf to the region. However, the ECMWF is farther south with only
light qpf across parts of the region, while the CMC is mainly dry
with a track well south across the mid Atlantic states. GEFS
ensemble plumes for ALB showing considerable spread, with some dry
members and some members indicating over a half inch of rain. Taking
a blended approach at this time, and will mention likely pops for
areas south of the Capital District, with chance to slight chance
values farther north. Will only mention a slight chance of thunder
since most sources of guidance show the low center passing by to our
south, which would result in a more stable air mass for our area.
Temps look to be on the cool side due to at least some added cloud
cover.

Much better clarity in the forecast from Thursday night into the
upcoming weekend in the wake of Thursday's system, as all sources of
guidance indicating the storm will track away from the region and
out to sea Thursday night. High pressure is then forecast to build
in from the west and take residence across the region through the
weekend. Temperatures will start out near normal on Friday, then
warm back to above normal levels during the weekend as the surface
high moves off the coast and a very warm and more humid return
southerly flow develops.

A cold front looks to approach around the next Monday time frame,
bringing the next chance of showers and thunderstorms. However, dry
weather is expected from Thursday night through Sunday.

&&

.AVIATION /02Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Cluster of thunderstorms, associated with a cold front/pre-
frontal trough, moving across eastern Ontario toward Thousand
Islands, NY. These storms will be strong to severe as they enter
NY...where environment is favorable for stronger storms. For ALY
terminals, instability is fairly low now and will decrease into
the evening. So chances of strong/severe storms not as high here. As
such, timing of pre-frontal trough into the area along with
associated precip is given in tempo groups, with MVFR SHRA for all
four terminals. This would also be the most likely time for
thunderstorms. However, due to lower confidence, TSRA not included
in the TAFs now. May be needed for amendments later.

The front will clear the terminals by daybreak with VFR
conditions for Tuesday.

Outlook...

Tuesday Night: Low Operational Impact. Slight Chance of SHRA.
Wednesday: Low Operational Impact. Breezy Slight Chance of SHRA.
Wednesday Night: Low Operational Impact. Slight Chance of SHRA.
Thursday: Moderate Operational Impact. Chance of SHRA.
Thursday Night to Saturday: No Operational Impact. NO SIG WX.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
A cold front will move across eastern New York and western New
England tonight with scattered showers and thunderstorms.  Cooler
and drier air will move back into the region for Tuesday with
seasonable temperatures.  An upper level disturbance will bring some
isolated to scattered showers Tuesday night into Wednesday mainly
from the Capital Region and Mohawk Valley north and west.

The RH will increase to 75 to 100 percent tonight...then lower to
30 to 50 percent Tuesday...then increase to 75 to 100 percent
Wednesday morning.

South to southwest winds of 10 to 15 mph tonight will shift to
the west at 10 to 20 mph with a few higher gusts possible Tuesday
and Wednesday.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
No widespread hydrologic issues are anticipated over the next five
days.

An approaching cold front will bring some showers and
thunderstorms to the region tonight. Rainfall amounts will vary
depending on the exact movement of showers and thunderstorms, but
localized rainfall totals in excess of one half inch are possible
especially north and west of the Capital Region.  This rainfall
may cause some localized sharp rises on small streams and creeks,
as well as ponding on roadways and other urban areas, but flooding
is not expected to occur.

Dry weather will return for Tuesday into early Tuesday night. A
few additional passing light rain showers are possible for late
Tuesday night into Wednesday especially north of the Mohawk valley
and Capital Region, but this will have little if any hydrologic
impact. Some more showers or a steady rain are possible late WEd
night into Thursday, mainly for southern areas. Dry weather will
return again on Friday.

and forecast river stages and lake elevations, please visit the
