AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Albany NY
408 PM EDT Sun May 19 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
Showers and thunderstorms, some of them becoming severe,
will continue into this evening. The main threats are damaging
winds, small hail and heavy rainfall within any strong storm.
Additional showers and a few thunderstorms will spread eastward
across the area tonight, followed by more widespread showers and
strong to severe thunderstorms associated with a cold front passage
on Monday. Much cooler and drier air will filter in Monday night
into Tuesday, with windy conditions developing.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/...
A Severe Thunderstorm Watch remains in effect for the entire
forecast area except Litchfield county, CT through 9 PM this
evening...

As of 330 PM EDT, strong to severe thunderstorms have developed
along a corridor of instability across the Adirondacks into the
Lake George Saratoga region. These storms have produced
frequent lightning and substantial rainfall. There is also
concern for flooding as the storms continue to train west to
east. Further south, temperatures continue to warm into the
lower 80s. We have reached and surpassed 80 degrees at all of
our climate sites this afternoon. Some of the high res guidance
indicates that storms aren't expected in Albany or points south
until later this evening (after 6PM) when the storms currently
in central/eastern PA push eastward...but this will need to be
monitored as the afternoon progresses.

Storms should weaken with loss of daytime heating late this
evening but showers are expected to linger into the overnight
hours. Cannot rule out a rumble of thunder overnight as well.
Low temperatures will remain mild overnight, only dipping into
the 60s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
Showers and thunderstorms are expected again on Monday as a cold
front pushes through the region during the afternoon and evening
hours. Mixed layer flow is forecast to become southwest and
increase further. The 0-6 km shear will likely be around 40-60
kt, which will be more than sufficient for storm organization.
Unidirectional wind field and potential for larger magnitude of
CAPE (> 2000 J/Kg) favors both a damaging wind and large hail
threat. Mid level drying could also enhance hail potential.
There is a Slight Risk for severe weather for Albany and points
south and east. North and west, there is a Marginal Risk.Temperatures
will be quite warm ahead of the cold front thanks to the
southwest wind, as lower to mid 80s are expected in the Hudson
Valley from the Capital District southward.

The cold front should be east of our region by mid/late Monday
evening, with cold/dry advection commencing with breezy
northwest winds developing. There could be a few lingering
showers over mainly higher terrain areas as an upper level
disturbance moves through just behind the cold front. Otherwise,
it will become much cooler and less humid Monday night.

Dry, but cool/windy conditions expected for Tuesday, as high
pressure remains west of our region over the central/upper Great
Lakes and low pressure slowly tracks eastward across the
Canadian Maritimes. This will result in a fairly strong pressure
gradient for this time of year. Northwest winds will become
rather gusty once better mixing occurs by late morning and
through the daylight hours. Gusts of 30-40 mph will be common,
especially across favored higher terrain areas and the Capital
District into the Berkshires. Temperatures will be much cooler
than Monday, with 50s and 60s for highs.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Extended period will feature active weather as warm
front/stationary front(s) remain nearby.

Beginning with Wednesday, fairly good consensus favoring a ridge of
high pressure extending from northwest to southeast across the
region and sliding into New England.  So with a cooler start to the
day, temperatures with late May sunshine should allow for high
temperatures to climb near 70F for valley locations with mainly 60s
elsewhere.

Then as southeast ridge builds, ridge rolling short wave(s) and a
warm front or two will impact the region.  Recent trends favor an
MCS structure along and ahead of the warm front may impact the
region during the day Thursday.  Best theta-e advection will be
along the I90 corridor so we will keep PoPs fairly high into the
scattered category.  As cloud coverage may be more prevalent, we
will keep temperatures generally into the 60s and lower 70s.

The MCS structure is expected to track southeastward and off the New
England coastline as a rather complex synoptic surface feature(s)
will likely be in place.  It does seem the short wave ridge axis
will transverse the region with a reduced threat of showers Thursday
night into Friday morning.  Overnight lows generally into the 50s.

Yet another surge of warmer air, warm front, is forecast to lift
northeastward later Friday and into the start of the holiday
weekend. For now, we will keep the chance PoPs in the forecast grids
and highs mainly into the 70s with overnight lows 50s.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
A warm front will continue lifting north of the TAF sites this
afternoon. A cold front will pass through the TAF sites Monday
afternoon.

Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop this
afternoon, with greatest chances at KALB and KGFL between roughly
20Z/Sun and 00Z/Mon. Brief periods of IFR/LIFR conditions will occur
within any heavier showers/thunderstorms.

For tonight, additional scattered showers and thunderstorms will
remain possible, with best chances again at KALB and KGFL,
especially between roughly 07Z-12Z/Mon. Outside of any
showers/thunderstorms, areas of MVFR Cigs may develop, with IFR
possible.

On Monday, after any lower clouds burn off, expect isolated to
scattered showers/thunderstorms to develop toward and after 18Z/Mon,
as a cold front approaches.

Winds will be mainly south to southwest this afternoon at 8-12 KT,
with some gusts of 20-25 KT possible, especially at KALB and KPSF.
South winds will continue tonight at generally 5-10 KT. Through
18Z/Monday, south to southwest winds will increase to 8-12 KT with
some gusts over 20 KT possible.

Winds will be much stronger, and variable in direction in and near
any thunderstorms.

Outlook...

Monday Night: Low Operational Impact. Breezy Slight Chance of SHRA.
Tuesday: Moderate Operational Impact. Windy NO SIG WX.
Tuesday Night: Moderate Operational Impact. Windy NO SIG WX.
Wednesday: No Operational Impact. NO SIG WX.
Wednesday Night: No Operational Impact. NO SIG WX.
Thursday: Low Operational Impact. Slight Chance of SHRA...TSRA.
Thursday Night: Moderate Operational Impact. Chance of SHRA...TSRA.
Friday: Low Operational Impact. Slight Chance of SHRA...TSRA.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Showers and thunderstorms, some of them becoming severe,
will continue into this evening. The main threats are damaging
winds, small hail and heavy rainfall within any strong storm.
Additional showers and a few thunderstorms will spread eastward
across the area tonight, followed by more widespread showers and
strong to severe thunderstorms associated with a cold front passage
on Monday. Much cooler and drier air will filter in Monday night
into Tuesday, with windy conditions developing.

Relative humidity values will recover to maximum values of
around 90 to 100 percent tonight and 70 to 95 percent Monday
night. Minimum RH values will be around 45 to 55 percent Monday
afternoon and about 40 to 55 percent Tuesday afternoon.

Winds today and tonight will be southerly between 5 to 15 mph.
Winds on Monday will shift to the southwest and increase to 10
to 20 mph, with gusts to around 30 mph.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Strong to severe thunderstorms have developed and will continue
through the evening hours before weakening. These storms have
been producing heavy rainfall. Training of storms is possible
which could lead to flash flooding and flooding of urban or low
lying areas.

Additional rounds of showers and a few thunderstorms will
continue tonight into Monday ahead of a cold front approaching
from the west. Moisture anomalies will still be relatively high,
so there is a continued chance for locally heavy rain within
any convection. Basin average rainfall amounts will vary
significantly due to convective nature of the precipitation.
Locally greater than 1 inch will be possible where thunderstorm
activity is maximized. Areas north and west of Albany are
expected to see multiple rounds during this time.

Drier weather returns Monday night through Wednesday as high
pressure builds back in. The next chance of showers arrives
later in the week with the approach of a warm front.

page for specific area rivers and lakes observations and
forecasts.
