What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this wind advisory 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 wind advisory went out at May 4, 1:56 AM EDT, 1 hour 54 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 4, 1:56 AM EDT, 1 hour 54 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Binghamton NY 156 AM EDT Fri May 4 2018 .SYNOPSIS... A frontal boundary, will remain draped across the region early this morning with a few showers, especially for central New York. A cold front, will push across the area late today with more showers and thunderstorms. Saturday looks rain free, with high pressure in control. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/... 835 PM UPDATE...Ripples moving through the dirty ridge will set off showers at times overnight, with perhaps a rumble of thunder. Updated the pop grids to be more general with the distribution of the showers overnight, but tried to keep some timing in with higher pops as the ripples raced through. Otherwise just some minor adjustments to the temps and winds overnight into early Friday. 2 pm update... An area of showers and thunderstorms, tied to an upper-level wave, along with a weak frontal boundary draped just to our north, will push across mainly NY's southern tier and NEPA late this afternoon into the early evening. Given ML CAPE increasing to 500-1000 j/kg, steep low-level lapse rates, and deep-layered shear, a few storms could produce strong, gusty winds. Later this evening, showers should temporarily decrease in coverage, before blossoming again in the pre-dawn period, as the above mentioned W-E oriented frontal boundary lurks near the PA/NY border, and upper-level forcing begins to increase from the west late at night. Probabilities for showers will increase into the likely range for our CNY zones, with chance/scattered values by the time you get down into the Wyoming/Lackawanna Valleys and the southern Poconos. Temperatures will be mild again tonight, with lows by daybreak only in the upper 50s-mid 60s for most locales. && .SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH 6 PM SATURDAY/... 210 pm update... The above mentioned frontal zone should move quickly northward Friday morning as a warm front, in response to strengthening SW flow, ahead of the main upper-level trough and surface cold front back to the west. Despite CNY/NEPA emerging into the warm sector during the day, instability is still somewhat in question, with diminishing mid-level lapse rates from the west during the afternoon/early evening, and uncertainty in cloud cover. Right now, areas with the best chance to see breaks of sunshine and more destabilization are NY's southern tier and NEPA. What looks very likely is a strongly sheared environment, as the wind fields significantly strengthen during the day Friday. Again, stability is the main question, and we'll monitor this situation in future updates. After showers initially diminish from S-N in the morning with the lifting warm front, convection will likely increase ahead of the main cold front by mid-late afternoon. Recent model runs have slowed the progress of the front down, with frontal passage not likely to occur until early evening across our eastern zones. Highs Friday afternoon should range from the mid 70s in our far northern and western zones, to the low-mid 80s across portions of NEPA. Later Friday night, once the cold front pushes off to our south and east, showers/storms will quickly exit. Skies are likely to clear overnight, with a fresh push of cooler and drier air nudging temperatures down into the 40s and lower 50s by daybreak Saturday. && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/... 230 PM Update... High pressure is expected over the region on Saturday with an abundance of sunshine and light winds. Temps from the upper 60s to low 70s look reasonable. A weak cold front enters New York later Saturday night as a wave of low pressure develops over the southeastern states. The combination of these two features will bring a chance for inclement weather for much of Sunday, with the highest probability for rain across NEPA and our SE NY zones. Once these features exit into the Atlantic on Sunday night...the model consensus suggests that much of next week will be fair and seasonable under sprawling high pressure. A cold front approaches for next Thursday with a good chance for more showers. Timing is still up for grabs with that system as models diverge a bit. && .AVIATION /06Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... 130 am update... A warm front along the NYS thruway is providing some IFR conditions early this morning. SYR has fallen to IFR cigs and vsbys. RME is MVFR now but shows signs of falling to IFR too. These conditions here will continue until around 12z when the front lifts back north and surface winds increase. MVFR rises to VFR midday. Further south in NY conditions will fall to MVFR. Fuel alternate MVFR at ITH likely and maybe ELM/BGM. Conditions rise to VFR midday. AVP stays mostly VFR today. Some showers 11 to 14z could drop them to MVFR. This afternoon and evening scattered showers and thunderstorms will move through but will be short lived so did not add tempos yet. Early this morning light and variable winds. Around 13z southwest winds increase to 10 kts then increase further to 10 to 15 with higher gusts midday. Wind shift to west between 00 and 02z with cold front. Winds stay strong and may increase. Outlook... Saturday through Tuesday...VFR. Risk of some restrictions in occasional rain on Sunday. && .BGM WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... PA...None.
