DJNWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Binghamton, NY wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 30, 2:02 PM EDT, 24 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 30, 2:02 PM EDT, 24 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Binghamton NY 202 PM EDT Fri Jun 30 2017 .SYNOPSIS... There will be increasing chances for showers and thunderstorms today through Saturday as multiple disturbances pass through the region, followed by a strong cold front. Some storms could contain gusty winds, hail, and locally heavy rainfall. The weather pattern should finally quiet down into early next week courtesy of high pressure. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... Updated at 11 am. Current forecast appears to be on track. Satellite loops are showing a well-defined short wave moving east across western NY late this morning with scattered showers developing along the leading edge of the wave along with a few more showers back to the west over Lake Erie. Some solar heating has developed across central / eastern NY and northeast Pa with temperatures rising to the mid 70s to near 80 in many areas as of 11 am. Latest surface based CAPEs have risen to about 1000 J/kg but MLCAPEs are still below 500 J/kg, however with continued sunshine we are expecting MLCAPE values to rise to between 1000 to 1500 J/kg in many areas along and east of I-81 early this afternoon. High resolution models are in good agreement showing lots of convective development along the leading edge of the wave moving east across NY this afternoon. Mode is mostly discrete storms and with 40 kt deep layer bulk shears we can't rule out a few supercells across our area this afternoon with severe wind and hail both possible. Localized heavy rain will also be a threat with plenty of moisture evident based on dew points in the mid to upper 60s and pwat values forecast above 1.5 inches. High resolution models are also forecasting some fairly significant areas of substantial updraft helicity mainly over central NY this afternoon which is often a good indicator for severe potential. Overall the SPC slight risk for much of our area looks reasonable with significant convection likely developing shortly after noon. Previous discussion is below. 3 AM Update... Severe weather potential will be the primary concern for the near term period. While chances will be somewhat higher in Central New York, the whole area in general will have at least some potential for isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms. Surface warm front has settled northward, now positioned from Central Ontario to the Adirondacks. We will spend today in the warm sector, with weak forcing yet also significantly more instability compared to Thursday. Convection will be reliant on shortwaves embedded within brisk west-southwest flow aloft. Models are in fair agreement on a stronger one of these waves carrying west-to-east across the region early-to-mid afternoon. This wave as of 3 AM is located along the Indiana-Ohio border, however, positive vorticity advection is has also managed to develop a wing of convection over Lake Erie. Evolution today will be complicated because of the multiple ripples in the flow aloft, and due to anticipated mesoscale boundaries from existing and developing thunderstorm clusters. Thus it is hard to rule out convection at any time today, though I place the highest likelihood on the main wave that passes through 16Z-21Z. During that time, in large part due to dewpoints rising into the mid-upper 60s and temperatures reaching upper 70s-mid 80s, convective available potential energy appears probable to reach between 1000-1500 J/KG; plenty adequate for thunderstorms. Severe weather parameters, especially in terms of shear, are somewhat stronger in Central New York and thus that is where the better chances for gusty winds will exist. However, areawide, the strongest cells could contain brief damaging winds. Hail is a lesser yet not negligible threat, as well as locally heavy rainfall from precipitable water values getting to around 1.7 inches or so. Our local severe thunderstorm checklist/analog tool returns events with primarily damaging winds, but only sporadic hail. Ridging occurs between waves this evening. Showers and thunderstorms cannot be ruled completely out tonight, due to unknown/unresolved small ripples aloft and interactions from earlier convection, but overall it appears that there will be a relative lull in activity tonight. It will however be rather muggy, with lows in the mid to upper 60s, almost matching dewpoints that will reside over the area. && .SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/... 3 AM Update...Active pattern continues with Saturday setting up to be a potentially interesting day. During the day a low pressure system will track from northern Ontario into Quebec which will drag a cold front across the area west to east during the afternoon into the early evening. This front coupled with daytime instability and a series of waves aloft moving around the upper trough will act to spark widespread showers and storms across the region during the afternoon. The potential for severe weather looks increasingly favorable and the Storm Prediction Center has upgraded the entire area to a Slight Risk. The very warm and muggy airmass with temps in the 80s will result in ML CAPE values reaching the 1000-2000 j/kg range with 0-1/0-3/0-6 km bulk shear values indicated to be 15/25/35 knots respectively. The upper forcing / height falls will also be more favorable than Friday. The upshot is that storms Saturday will have the potential of being strong to severe with damaging winds being the biggest threat but also the potential for large hail. Storms will also be capable of producing very heavy rain as PWATs will be near 1.8 inches so flash flood threat will have to be monitored as well. Storms will likely continue into Saturday evening, especially east of I-81 before moving out overnight with the passage of the cold front. This will begin to usher in somewhat cooler and drier air by Sunday morning with lows in the mid 60s. For Sunday, overall it will be a mostly dry day behind the front however since the upper level trough will still be over the area the cool air aloft with this feature coupled with weak waves moving through and daytime heating will trigger some scattered to isolated showers with even a few storms possible. Highs will be mostly in the low to mid 80s with lower humidity levels than Saturday...dew points generally in the low 60s which isn't too bad for this time of year. Any showers diminish Sunday night with a cooler night on tap as cool advection continues across the area behind the departing low pressure system over eastern Canada. Lows will be mostly in the upper 50s to low 60s. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... 3 AM Update...A reprieve from the unsettled pattern is progged for the beginning of next week as the persistent upper level trough moves out giving way to a more zonal flow. For Monday, one final wave aloft will move through which could spark a few showers but not looking at an all day rain as conditions will generally feature a mix of sun and clouds with seasonal temperatures. By Tuesday, the upper trough will be off to the east with surface high pressure dominating bringing sunshine with seasonal temperatures and comfortable humidity levels. Beyond Tuesday, some uncertainty as the ECMWF brings in the next wave aloft with showers by Wednesday while the GFS and GEM keep conditions mainly dry through Wednesday with showers not returning until Thursday. In any event, at this point the trend looks to be back toward unsettled weather by for the end of next week as the next upper level trough moves in. && .AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... Showers and thunderstorms will move across the area this afternoon into early this evening. We have this covered in the TAFs at all locations with a TEMPO group for MVFR conditions with a thunderstorm until around 22z. Storms will be mainly east of the area by mid-evening with VFR conditions through most of the night followed by areas of MVFR with lower clouds and patchy light fog between 08z and 14z Saturday. A return to primarily VFR conditions is expected late Saturday morning into the afternoon. Another round of showers and thunderstorms will move across the area Saturday afternoon into the evening. Outlook... Saturday morning through Saturday evening...Restrictions likely in showers/thunderstorms as front moves through area. Late Saturday night through Sunday...Mainly VFR but still a small chance for showers-thunder and associated restrictions. Sunday night through Tuesday...Quieter weather but with a small chance of afternoon showers and associated restrictions. && .BGM WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... PA...None.
