Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Albany NY
129 PM EDT Mon Jul 17 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
A slow moving upper level trough and weak frontal boundary will
bring showers and thunderstorms with potential gusty winds, hail
and locally heavy rainfall to the region today and Tuesday. High
pressure builds into the area on Wednesday. However, the threat
for heavy rainfall and thunderstorms returns on Thursday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Severe Thunderstorm Watch 417 has been issued. Adjusted
forecast for isolated thunderstorm around KALB airport that is
now dissipating but all convection will expand through the
afternoon. Rest of forecast untouched through this afternoon.
Some storms in southern Adirondacks and western Mohawk Valley
strengthening considerably. CAPEs exceeding 1000 J/kg in
mesoscale analyses and on satellite derived products. Will
become more unstable through this afternoon and convection will
expand and strengthen. Temperatures in the 80s this afternoon
and low level dewpoints have risen into early this afternoon.

So, surface based instability and EML over our region will make
for a stormy afternoon in some areas. Hail, damaging winds and
some localized flooding possible. The Woodgate NY Mesonet site
had around an inch and a half of rain in about an hour earlier
and some storm could train this afternoon.

Showers and storms linger into this evening and tonight with
decreasing coverage and intensity. Lows in the 60s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
The weak low level boundary or surface trough that supports
development of new convection Tuesday, should support less
widespread convection and not as strong. The diffuse convergence
zone will be a little farther south and east where old
convective outflows will exist. So, the better chances for
storms Tuesday will be near, south and east of the Capital
District, through the Mid Hudson Valley, Berkshires and NW CT.
Storms could still be strong with CAPEs at or above 1000 J/kg
but without the steep midlevel lapse rates and unknown extent of
clouds and convective debris to potentially limit heating
Tuesday, not as confident for widespread severe weather or flash
flood potential. Highs Tuesday in the 80s but upper 70s
northern areas.

Upper energy and deeper moisture exit Tuesday night and
Wednesday as surface high pressure builds into the region.
Still, some isolated to scattered showers and storms possible
south and east of Albany on Wednesday where the weak low level
boundary washes out. Highs Wednesday in the mid to upper 80s but
around 80 higher terrain.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
The extended opens with a cold front and short-wave trough in
west to northwest mid and upper level flow approaching the
region. The cold front will focus some scattered showers and
thunderstorms. The instability does not look overly abundant on
the the latest GFS with low to moderate amounts of SBCAPE in the
500-1000 J/kg range. PWATS increase to 1.25-1.75" from the
Mohawk Valley/Capital Region and southern VT south and east.
Some locally heavy rainfall will be possible with any
thunderstorms once again. It will be warm and humid ahead of the
front with sfc dewpts generally in the 60s. Highs will be in
the mid 80s to close to 90F in the valley locations with 70s to
lower 80s over the hills and mountains.

Thu night into Fri...The cold front moves south of the region
with a secondary cold front and the upper trough axis moving
through according to the latest GFS/ECMWF/Canadian GGEM in the
evening with perhaps a few showers over the higher terrain
lingering into Friday morning. High pressure builds in from
south-central Ontario. Decent cold advection occurs in the wake
of the secondary cold front with H850 temps falling to +10C to
+14C from northwest to southeast across the region. After lows
in the upper 50s to mid 60s, highs will be near normal with
lower to mid 80s in the valley locales, and upper 60s to upper
70s over the mtns.

Fri night into Saturday...High pressure ridges in from the
southeastern Canada with fair and dry weather expected. The mid
level flow becomes zonal with the next wave setting up to
approach from the upper Midwest and Great Lakes Region to close
the weekend. Humidity levels will be comfortable to open the
weekend with sfc dewpts in the upper 40s to upper 50s. Lows Fri
night will be in the 50s to around 60F with highs seasonable for
late July with 70s to lower 80s.

Sat night into Sunday...Warm advection increases ahead of the
warm front to the sfc cyclone approaching from the central and
eastern Great Lakes Region. Showers begin to move in late
Saturday night/Sunday morning. Some elevated instability coupled
with decent moisture advection will keep the threat of showers
with a chance of thunderstorms into the afternoon. Temps will
continue to be near normal.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Band of strong thunderstorms in the southern Adirondacks and
western Mohawk Valley will expand and track east through this
afternoon. Timed the hour or two time window for the best
chances for thunderstorms between 19Z-21Z at KGFL, 20Z-22Z at
KALB, and 22Z-23Z at KPSF and will amend if timing is off.
Mesoscale guidance is indicating the thunderstorms at about
those times at the TAF sites. The thunderstorms are expected to
largely dissipate before they get to KPOU.

Once any lingering showers and storms end this evening, around
or just after midnight, some areas of low clouds and patchy fog
will form. Some MVFR/IFR ceilings and visibilities are likely in
some areas and are indicated at KALB, KGFL and KPSF. Any fog and
low clouds should lift by 13Z Tuesday when VFR conditions should
return to all the TAF sites. KPOU may be predominantly VFR
through the entire period through 18Z Tuesday.

Winds will be south at 10 Kt or less this afternoon and just
light this evening and tonight. South to southwest winds will
continue Tuesday morning at less than 10 Kt. Indicating possible
gusts to 30-35 Kt in thunderstorms this afternoon.

Outlook...

Monday Night: Moderate Operational Impact. Scattered SHRA...TSRA.
Tuesday: Moderate Operational Impact. Scattered SHRA...TSRA.
Tuesday Night: Low Operational Impact. Slight Chance of SHRA...TSRA.
Wednesday: No Operational Impact. NO SIG WX.
Wednesday Night: No Operational Impact. NO SIG WX.
Thursday: Moderate Operational Impact. Chance of SHRA...TSRA.
Thursday Night: Moderate Operational Impact. Chance of SHRA...TSRA.
Friday: Low Operational Impact. Slight Chance of SHRA.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
A few thunderstorms will impact locations from the Capital
Region north and west this morning, as a weak disturbance moves
through. The threat for showers and some thunderstorms with
potential gusty winds, hail and locally heavy rainfall increases
this afternoon and Tuesday due to an upper level low and a weak
frontal boundary impacting the region.

An increase in humidity with showers and thunderstorms are likely
today, with minimum RH values expected to be 60 to 75 percent.
Continued heat and humidity with chances for showers and
thunderstorms are expected Tuesday with minimum RH values again
60 to 75 percent. RH values will be 80 to 100 percent both Monday
and Tuesday nights.

The winds will shift to the south today at 5 to 15 mph and
continue through Tuesday.

A widespread wetting rainfall is likely today into Tuesday.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Widespread hydrological problems are not expected on the main
stem rivers the next several days, but localized poor drainage
and urban flooding and even isolated flash flooding will be
possible today into Tuesday.

Today into Tuesday will feature several chances for showers and
thunderstorms ahead of a cold front and an upper level low.
Some locally heavy rainfall is possible today into Tuesday in
the more humid air mass. Some of the thunderstorms may move
slowly or train over the same areas with intense rainfall rates
especially this afternoon into Tuesday. Ponding of water on
roadways and poor drainage flooding of low lying areas will be
possible. Despite high 3-hr zonal flash flood guidance values of
2.1 to about 3 inches over the HSA, there is a threat of
isolated flash flooding. The latest MMEFS guidance has no main
stem river flooding forecasted in the ALY HSA.

Dry weather may briefly return for the mid-week. Another bout
of wet weather with additional showers and thunderstorms is
possible Thursday into Friday.

observed and forecast river stages and lake elevations, please
