Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Binghamton NY
341 PM EDT Thu May 10 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will push thunderstorms through the region this
afternoon, before high pressure slides across NY with fair
weather for Friday. A slow moving storm will spread rain and a
few rumbles of thunder into PA and NY early Saturday morning.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
125 PM update...

Thunderstorms are moving from west to east across the forecast
area this afternoon. As expected, the high MLCape values did not
materialize over much of our region. However, a small area of
700 to 1200 j/kg MLCape is forecast over our southeastern
counties (mainly from Luzerne to Southern Wayne and Pike), and
therefor we have included hail and gusty winds in the forecast
for this region.

After the thunderstorms pass by, temperatures and dew points
will fall, and winds will shift to the west. Temperatures will
fall into the lower-40s Friday morning.

High pressure will yield fair weather on Friday, before a slow
moving storm spreads rain into NY and PA Friday night.

1022 AM update...

A diffuse warm front is passing through the region with showers
this morning, while a cold front is progged to push into NY and
PA later this afternoon.

With modest shear in place (0-3 km bulk shear around 30 kts),
severe thunderstorm potential would increase with sufficient
instability. SPC is forecasting MLCape values between 1000-1500
j/kg from the Southern Tier of NY down through Northern PA by
midafternoon. Based on the limited clearing currently observed to
the west and additional light showers popping up over our
western counties, this much MLCape seems a bit aggressive.

We think 400-800 j/kg is a more reasonable range, and the
current atmopsheric profile would likely yield afternoon
thundertorms with isolated to scattered wind damage reports.

Instability will be key for the remainder of the day, so we will
keep a close eye on potential clearing to the west.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
On Saturday, fast zonal flow aloft with embedded mid level short
waves combined with a frontal boundary draped across the
southern forecast area will keep likely pops across the southern
tier, southern Catskills and northeast Pennsylvania. Low level
instability also looks sufficient for a chance of thunderstorms
with instability better in the far southern forecast area. As
the day progresses surface high pressure builds south leading to
a dry afternoon in the northern areas. Highs will range from the
lower 70s in the Wyoming Valley to lower 50s in northern Oneida
County.

Saturday night the boundary continues sinking southward as high
pressure over eastern Canada builds into northern New York
State. Likely pops will be confined to the far southeast
forecast area with dry conditions from the northern Finger
Lakes region to the western Mohawk Valley.

On Sunday the next surface wave moves into the Ohio Valley
keeping a chance for showers across much of the area with
the highest pops, low likely, in the far southeast areas. Highs
will range in the lower to middle 60s with the lake plain near
70.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Sunday night and Monday, high pressure will continue sinking
south into the local area pushing the boundary farther south.
Will continue with chance pops Sunday night over much of the
area with highest pops south. By Monday will only include a
slight chance from the southern tier south. Highs on Monday will
be in the lower to middle 70s.

Monday night and Tuesday looks primarily dry as high pressure
remains over the region with the stalled surface boundary in
the mid Atlantic region. Highs on Tuesday will range in the
middle to upper 70s.

Wednesday and Thursday the next front will move through the area
bringing a chance for showers and isolated thunderstorms. Highs
will continue in the 70s.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
A line of thunderstorms will move across the terminals from west
to east between 18z and 22z. These thunderstorms will produce
brief gusty winds, hail, and heavy downpours, likely resulting
in MVFR conditions.

Except for the thunderstorms, VFR conditions are forecast
through Friday afternoon. Winds will shift to the west at 7 to
12 knots.

Outlook...

Friday...VFR.

Friday night through Sunday...Scattered showers and associated
restrictions; thunder also possible Saturday.

Monday...VFR.
