Area forecast discussion, May 10, 3:22 PM EDT, 22 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Binghamton NY 322 PM EDT Fri May 10 2019 .SYNOPSIS... A cold front passes this afternoon and evening with showers and thunderstorms. High pressure builds in behind the front, leading to a dry Saturday. More rain is likely starting Sunday with another area of low pressure. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/... As of 220 PM Friday... Cold front is currently crossing the region and should move east of the forecast area by tonight. Showers and storms have developed along the front. However, destabilization out ahead of the front is meager...with maybe 300 to 500 J/Kg of CAPE at best. Wind fields are strong and there will be gusty winds with these showers/storms, but the damaging winds potential is low. The best threat for stronger winds will be across the SE forecast area, where temperatures have climbed into the lower 70s with dew points in the low 60s. However, very dry air aloft is going to limit the convection, and this has been noticed with current storms that have formed, with tops struggling to climb above 20K feet. Behind the cold front, high pressure drops southeast into the Great Lakes late tonight. Much cooler temperatures will be pouring in as well. Have considered issuing a frost advisory for Steuben County, but low level flow looks a bit too strong to allow temperatures from going to low. Still added the mention of some patchy frost. High pressure will keep us dry through much of the day on Saturday, but it will be cool, with temperatures running about 5 degrees below normal. Our next system will approach from the south Saturday night and have added the mention for some showers overnight, with best chance across the south. && .SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... Upper trough digs in the mid Mississippi valley forcing deep moisture back into the area. Models are still struggling of the details of the forecast and the north and eastward extent of the rain as ridging holds fast over eastern NY. In any case rain over the western and southern zones Sunday is a good bet, tapering down to just a chance in the northeast. Upper low captures the surface low and trudges east eventually breaking down the ridge. This will bring more widespread rain to the forecast area Sunday night and Monday. Still looks like the heaviest rain will be associated with the convection south of the forecast area near the surface front over Virginia and off the coast. With the rain and the cold pool aloft, daytime temps will be below normal. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/... Upper low meanders east Monday and Tuesday keeping the grey and dreary weather over the forecast area. By early Wednesday, low is in the Gulf of Maine and drier air will try to begin work in but instability will develop clouds and scattered showers, especially Wednesday morning over the eastern zones. There will perhaps be a brief break late Wednesday into early Thursday before a short wave dropping into the upper trough develops more showers over the area. High pressure tries to build in early Friday but it looks like yet another system could bring some showers for Friday. && .AVIATION /19Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... As of 150 PM Friday... Cold front is sliding through the region this afternoon and kicking off showers and a few thunderstorms. IFR conditions will be possible in heavier showers/storms and strong gusty winds will also be a possibility. Improving conditions later tonight as high pressure builds in behind the front, however it is possible that some MVFR ceilings linger behind the front. VFR conditions expected on Saturday, with next system moving in overnight into Sunday morning. Unsettled conditions with possible restrictions through the first part of next week. Outlook... Saturday through Saturday Night...mainly VFR. Sunday through Tuesday...Restrictions expected in rain. && .BGM WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... PA...None. NY...None. && SYNOPSIS...MPK NEAR TERM...MPK SHORT TERM...DGM LONG TERM...DGM AVIATION...MPK
