Special Weather Statement, NWS Binghamton, NY

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Binghamton NY
344 PM EDT Fri Aug 4 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
A strong area of low pressure will push a cold front through the
area tonight. This front will trigger showers and
thunderstorms, some of which may become severe. High pressure
will bring cooler and drier air for the weekend. The next chance
for more rain will come on Monday as low pressure tracks into
the mid-Atlantic states.
&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Scattered thunderstorms were popping up across much of central
NY and northeast PA especially east of I-81. This was in the
area of highest instability where mixed layer CAPEs were
1500-2000 J/KG. However, the shear was not that impressive and
as a result we are seeing pulse storms some of which are
approaching severe limits. So we have issued a few special
weather statements. We expect this activity to continue into the
late afternoon and then wane some as the forcing and shear were
weak. Main forcing associated with a vigorous upper level wave
and attendant cold front was west of our forecast area at this
time. As this feature works east-northeast into the evening,
forcing and shear will increase and the more organized
convection will work east reaching Steuben/Yates counties around
21-22z and to the I-81 corridor by 00z-01z. Instability won't
be as high by this time but still should be around 1000 J/Kg.
0-1 km shear will approach 30 knots with similar shear values
above so we expect a line of storms to pass through with the
potential for damaging winds, hail and locally heavy rain.

After this line of storms fizzles late this evening due to loss
of heating the front will cross the region overnight and likely
will be accompanied by more showers and isolated thunderstorms.
Not expecting additional severe late tonight. At this point it
doesn't look like heavy rain potential lasts after midnight.
Best chances for heavy rain and localized flooding will be
during the afternoon and evening today with the scattered
activity this afternoon and more organized activity this evening
given the very wet antecedent conditions.

After the front crosses the region Saturday morning, there will
be widespread broken stratocumulus, especially in central NY
and far northern PA with lingering scattered showers. Showers
will linger in our northern counties into the afternoon as
well. We do expect some clearing in northeast PA and south
central NY later Saturday.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
Saturday night...Upper level trough axis moves east of the
region while surface ridging also occurs from high pressure in
the mid Atlantic. Will continue to carry chance/slight chance
pops in the far north during the evening hours then the rest of
the overnight period will be dry. Overnight lows will range in
the lower to middle 50s.

Sunday...Zonal flow aloft with no apparent short waves along
with high pressure near the mid Atlantic coast will provide a
dry day with partly sunny skies. Highs will generally be in the
middle 70s.

Sunday night/Monday...A fairly strong mid level short wave will
track from the Ohio valley across Pennsylvania and through
central New York during the period. The resulting surface low
tracks from the Tennessee/Ohio Valleys east through the mid
Atlantic region and into coastal New England. Showers will
spread across northern Pennsylvania and into the southern tier
late Sunday night with widespread rain across the entire region
on Monday. Another system with plenty of moisture to work with
could produce rainfall totals between 1.0-1.5 inches over
northeast Pennsylvania and the southern Catskills.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
The above mentioned system moves off the New England coast
Monday night keeping the chance for showers over the area.
Tuesday through Wednesday night looks mainly dry due to weak
ridging aloft and high pressure in the vicinity. Next chance for
showers and thunderstorms will be Thursday through Friday as
another broad upper level trough re-establishes itself in the
Great Lakes region along with an approaching frontal boundary.

Temperatures through the period will be near seasonal normals.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
We expect mainly VFR conditions rest of this afternoon except
for the hit and miss thunderstorms where there will be locally
MVFR visibilities. Then between 22z and 01z we expect our NY
terminals to see the potential for IFR in TSRA from visibility
and ceilings from a line of storms. For AVP we see MVFR between
02z and 06z in TSRA. Once the storms pass late this evening,
there will be more showers and isolated storms until the cold
front passes by between 09z-12z. Once the cold front passes, we
expect MVFR or near MVFR ceilings in stratocumulus for most of
the rest of the TAF period.

South winds of 8-12 knots this afternoon/evening will shift to
southwest 10-15 knots w/ gusts to 20 knots most areas.

Outlook...

Saturday afternoon...Generally VFR. Brief restrictions in
lingering showers possible.

Sunday...VFR. Chance early morning IFR valley fog.

Monday and Tuesday...Restrictions possible in showers and
thunderstorms.

Wednesday...VFR...chance of early morning IFR valley fog
