Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Binghamton NY
346 PM EDT Tue Oct 2 2018

.SYNOPSIS...

A cold front will slowly move through tonight with showers and
thunderstorms. High pressure moving through the region will lead
to a dry day Wednesday before the next cold front with
additional showers on Thursday and Thursday night.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...

Tonight: Earlier showers and thunderstorms have developed a
boundary across northern PA which additional showers and
thunderstorms are forming along. These showers and storms are
moving west to east with heavy rainfall and are training. This
will result in the continued threat for flash flooding in the
watch area centered just south of the NY/PA line. Parameters
have become more favorable for severe weather across NE PA as
well with a localized increase in 0-1KM Helicity and modest
cape of around 1,000 J/KG at the surface and in the mid-levels.
Winds are fairly strong just off the surface so the potential
continues for some storms that develop to bring these gusty
winds to the surface. The localized helicity adds the potential
for spin as well and the threat of a tornado. A tornado and
flash flood watch continue into and through a good portion of
the evening as a result. Showers and thunderstorms will end late
this evening into the overnight with stratus clouds lingering
through the night. Some patchy fog will likely form toward
sunrise as well. Lows tonight will be in the 50 to around 60.

Wednesday and Wednesday night:

High pressure will build southeastward into the region leading
toward continuing clearing through the morning with more in the
way of sunshine in the afternoon. Temperatures will slowly rise
into the 60's for most of the area. The high pressure system
will start to head east Wednesday night with an increase in
clouds ahead of the next cold front. Temperatures may actually
rise a bit Wednesday night given the increase in warm air
advection ahead of the next front.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Cold front over the central Great Lakes will push through the
area on Thursday and generate a solid line of showers and
thunderstorms, into the overnight hours. By early friday, the
front will be far south and east of the area. A 1028mb Canadian
high pressure building in behind the front will bring clearing
skies and much drier air.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Long wave trough develops over the western US as a ridge builds
over the east. Between the two is a frontal boundary that runs
from the central Plains to the northern Great Lakes. The ridge
holds fast through the long term as the boundary generally
stays to the north and west. The front tries to drift into the
northern and central zones early Sunday so there is the chance
of showers and thunderstorms, mainly over the NY zones. Front is
forecast then to move back north later Sunday into Monday will
decrease chances of showers.

With the front nearly parallel to the upper flow, the exact
position of the front is difficult to forecast so the
confidence level is low for the period. In general though
temperatures should be above normal into early next week.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Quite a variety in conditions will continue through the evening.
Periods of showers and thunderstorms will lift and lower
ceilings from VFR all the way to low end IFR. This variation
makes pinpointing the exact timing of restrictions more
uncertain. Showers and thunderstorm timing was approximated with
tempo groups for later this afternoon.

Ceilings will lower with additional stratus and fog formation
overnight with the lowest restrictions around sunrise.
Visibilities will likely lower to MVFR or even IFR/LIFR at
KELM. The ceilings will gradually break up Wednesday morning.
Winds will be under 10 knots outside any thunderstorms outside
the TAF period.

Outlook...

Wednesday afternoon and night...VFR.

Thursday...Restrictions likely in showers/thunderstorms in the
afternoon and evening.

Friday through Saturday morning...Mainly VFR.

Saturday afternoon through Sunday: Potential for restrictions
with some stratus.
