The local office's own words before this special weather statement went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Albany, NY wrote its last area forecast discussion before this special weather statement went out at Jul 1, 9:19 PM EDT, 2 hours 22 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 1, 9:19 PM EDT, 2 hours 22 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Albany NY 919 PM EDT FRI JUL 1 2016 .SYNOPSIS... A frontal boundary will bring the chance for some showers and thunderstorms to the region this afternoon into the evening. Some of the thunderstorms may contain damaging winds or large hail. Behind the front, it will be dry and less humid over the holiday weekend with continued seasonable temperatures. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/... Tornado Watch 313 has been cancelled for all of eastern New York and adjacent western New England. As of 910 PM EDT, the most widespread deep convection has shifted south and east of our region. However, the main cold front remains to our N and W. Isolated/scattered thunderstorms have developed along or just ahead of the boundary. Despite boundary layer cooling, the mid/upper levels are also cooling with the approach of the upper level trough from the Great Lakes. So - still some isolated to scattered convection to persist for another several hours across the region, with the best chances near and north of I-90 which will also be coincident with better upper level dynamics. The threat for tornadoes certainly has decreased - and although the overall severe threat is decreasing, still can not rule out a rogue strong/severe cell through midnight. Cooler and less humid conditions are expected after midnight with winds shifting into the west/northwest. Lows should mainly be in the 50s. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY/... Dry and seasonable conditions are expected during the short term period as a large ridge of high pressure builds into and settles over the region. Highs on Saturday will range from the mid 60s to upper 70s with lows Saturday night in the upper 40s to mid 50s. Highs on Sunday will be in the upper 60s to lower 80s with lows Sunday night in the 50s. Highs on Monday will be in the mid 70s to mid 80s. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/... Dry and mild conditions are in store for 4th of July fireworks displays. Seasonably hot conditions are in store for this period. High temperatures will range from the mid 70s to mid 80s Tuesday... with highs from the upper 70s to around 90 degrees Wednesday through Friday. Tuesday night lows will range from the upper 50s to mid 60s...with lows in the 60s Wednesday and Thursday nights. Low pressure passing off to the north on Friday will increase precip chances. Until then...conditions will remain dry. && .AVIATION /01Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... A cold front will bring isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms to eastern NY and western New England through midnight. The front will move move east of the region overnight. High Pressure will be gradually building in from the western Great Lakes Region and Midwest tomorrow. With low level moisture remaining in place, some areas of MVFR/IFR cigs will remain possible until the front passes through between 05Z-07Z/Sat. Thereafter, expect mainly VFR conditions through Saturday. Light south to southeast winds will shift into the west at 5-10 kts between 05Z-08Z. The winds will strengthen from the west at 10-15 kts in the late morning with gusts close to 25-30 kts. Winds will be much stronger, and variable in direction in and near any thunderstorms. Outlook... Saturday through Wednesday: No Operational Impact. NO SIG WX. && .FIRE WEATHER... A frontal boundary will bring the chance for some showers and thunderstorms to the region this afternoon into the evening. Some of the thunderstorms may contain damaging winds or large hail. Behind the front, it will be dry and less humid over the holiday weekend with continued seasonable temperatures. Relative humidity values will recover to 85 to 100 percent tonight, drop to 35 to 50 percent on Saturday, recover to 70 to 100 percent Saturday night, and drop to 30 to 45 percent on Sunday. Winds will be southwest around 10 mph tonight, west at 10 to 15 mph with gusts up to 25 mph on Saturday, west at 10 to 15 mph diminishing to less than 5 mph after midnight Saturday night, and west at 10 to 15 mph on Sunday. && .HYDROLOGY... Dry weather has been a common theme this year, with many reporting sites showing rainfall deficits of 3 to 7 inches below normal levels. According to the USGS, streamflow levels are running below normal over many parts of the region. The US Drought Monitor has much of the region in either the D0 (Abnormally Dry) or D1 (Moderate Drought) categories. An approaching cold front will bring widespread showers and thunderstorms to the region this afternoon into this evening. Localized rainfall totals of over an inch are possible, although widespread rainfall amounts probably won't be enough to make a big dent in the rainfall deficits over the entire region. Despite the dry conditions, there is always the potential for localized minor flooding of urban or poor drainage areas if a heavy thunderstorm rainfall occurs over a vulnerable area. However, widespread flooding is not expected and river and stream levels will generally only show minor rises from today's rainfall or just hold steady into the weekend. Dry weather will then return to the region later tonight and be in place through at least early to mid next week. For details on specific area rivers and lakes, including observed and forecast river stages and lake elevations, please visit the Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service /AHPS/ graphs on our website. && .ALY WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
