Flash Flood Warning 8, NWS Binghamton, NY

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Binghamton NY
1048 AM EDT Sat Jul 1 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
There will be showers and thunderstorms again today ahead of a
cold front. Some storms could contain damaging winds, hail, and
locally heavy rainfall. The weather pattern should finally quiet
down early next week courtesy of high pressure.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
1045 AM Update...
Specifics of the forecast around here are rather difficult
today, especially in regard to any severe weather potential. In
general, though, the approaching cold front with upper level
support will continue to produce waves of showers and
thunderstorms translating from western NY/PA across our region
into this evening.

Bountiful low clouds are really going to inhibit surface based daytime
heating and instability today. Dynamic cooling in the mid levels
will assist the destabilization process, but exactly where is
the million dollar question. At this time, we're leaning more
toward the best cohesion of shear and instability to be from
I-81 east and southeast, while areas to the west remain rain
cooled and generally stable. Dynamics may be able to overcome
that on occasion, but organization of storm still appears to be
in our eastern and southern counties during the mid afternoon.
NAM3KM and HRRR model reflectivity does suggest a similar idea,
but develop a strong line a tad further west that what we're
thinking. Will continue to assess. Elsewhere, the PWAT values
are very high and locally heavy rain with minor flooding seems
possible in areas where storms repeat and back build.

Made a slight downward adjustment to max temperatures today
given the persistent low clouds and slow start to the daily temp
rebound.

Previous discussion...

By early evening, main area of storms should be confined to
areas east of I-81 where severe weather will remain possible
before storms exit by mid evening with severe weather threat
winding down at this time. A few isolated showers or storms may
still be possible at least into the early part of the overnight
until the actual cold front passes but are not likely to be
severe by this time. By Sunday morning, lows will be generally
in the mid 60s as cooler, drier air will be filtering in.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
320 AM update...
Finally a quieter period, though not without a chance of a few
sporadic pop-up diurnal showers/isolated thunderstorms, at least
for Sunday and Monday anyways.

Initial cold front will be well through the area Sunday,
allowing for temperatures and especially dewpoints to scale back
a bit. However, upper level flow will still be cyclonic around
large upper low centered in Eastern Canada. Diurnal heating will
likely still realize a cumulus field and even isolated to
scattered showers along with a slight chance of thunder Sunday
afternoon. Nothing severe, though with inverted-V profile in
lowest 5 thousand feet of model soundings, there could be decent
brief stronger gusts underneath the showers/thunder. Highs
Sunday will be near climatology; in the upper 70s to mid 80s.

Fairly quiet conditions Sunday night, with a secondary front
slipping through part of the area overnight. A much drier air
mass arrives on Monday with high pressure at the surface
starting to build in from the west. However, the secondary front
will still be finishing its trek through the area. Thus
scattered showers and isolated thunder will still be possible
mainly from the Southern Tier-Catskills NY early afternoon,
into Northeast PA mid-to-late afternoon. Again, with the amount
of dry air involved, this activity could generate some cool-pool
gusts. Highs Monday will be mainly 70s north to upper 70s-lower
80s south.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
330 AM update...
Forecast adjusted towards latest multi-model blend with not much
change to the prior forecast overall. Confidence continues to
increase on wetter conditions taking shape particularly into
Thursday, with a system that will have a potentially good
hookup to Gulf of Mexico moisture.

Previous discussion...
Main concerns in the long term are focused around cool/dry air mass
to begin with and the development of more showers and storms late
Wednesday into Thursday.

High pressure dominates the region on Independence Day with weak
ridging aloft. Will start to see a gradual warm up into the middle
of the week with widespread highs into the lower 80s by Wednesday.
The surface high shifts to the east Wednesday with a return sly flow
helping to heat things up a bit. This will also help set up the
atmosphere for additional showers and storms late Wed and Thursday
as an area of low pressure moves ewd across Pennsylvania. Will need
to watch this system through the next several days as it appears to
be capable of tapping into a deep moisture source and be fairly
dynamic...so there may be a hydro concern later next week.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Mainly VFR this morning with a couple exceptions...KAVP should
continue to see MVFR cigs and also some showers with even the
risk of another thunderstorm may effect KELM this morning
producing brief restrictions. Heading into this afternoon the
main focus will be afternoon showers and thunderstorms that are
expected to develop ahead of a cold front and affect all sites
as they move through west to east...beginning by around 18z for
KELM and exiting all TAF sites by the early evening. Most sites
should see at least MVFR restrictions with IFR likely for at
least KAVP and KBGM.

Winds increase to SW around 10 knots today with some higher
gusts. It should be noted, any storms this afternoon could
produce strong winds at any of the TAF sites.

Outlook...

Sunday through Monday...Mainly VFR but still a small chance for
showers-thunder and associated restrictions mainly in the
afternoon hours.

Tuesday - Wednesday...mainly VFR.
