Area forecast discussion, Jul 30, 3:51 PM EDT, 1 hour before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Binghamton NY 351 PM EDT Tue Jul 30 2019 .SYNOPSIS... A cold front will slowly move through the area this afternoon through Wednesday bringing showers and thunderstorms. High pressure builds into the region Thursday and Friday with drier and cooler weather. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/... A severe thunderstorm watch continues until 9PM for much of central New York and northeast Pennsylvania. So far a couple of thunderstorms have produce damaging winds with trees down. Convection continues to fire in the vicinity of prefrontal trough and associated mid level short wave. Moderately unstable airmass will keep activity going until early evening when storms will decrease in intensity. Damaging winds and brief heavy rain is the main concern with these storms. Lack of deep layer shear and weak mid level lapse rates will help to limit severe threat. By early evening mid level wave and prefrontal trough will exit region and with loss of diurnal heating much of the overnight period will be dry. Overnight lows will range in the mid 50s to lower 60s. Wednesday...Surface cold front will drop south through the region bringing more showers and thunderstorms. The best instability and lift will be over the far southeast. Will continue to mention likely POPs across northeast Pennsylvania and the southern Catskills with just isolated to scattered activity for the rest of central New York. Highs will range in the upper 70s to lower 80s. Wednesday night...Surface high pressure builds over the area with skies becoming partly cloudy to mainly clear. Overnight lows will range in the mid 50s to lower 60s. && .SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/... 245 pm update... Very quiet weather conditions in the short term with high pressure at the surface building across the Great Lakes...and a surface boundary lingering across the mid-Atlantic region which may trigger a few showers or weak storms over northeast PA Friday and Friday night. Upper level trough to the east will continue tracking off the coast on Thursday with heights aloft rising and high pressure at the surface building in from the west. The incoming air mass will also be much drier, at least initially on Thursday with mostly sunny skies and temperatures into the lower 80s. A weak surface inverted trough sets up along the East Coast/mid Atlantic region on Friday with increasing instability...which will likely lead to scattered convective showers and storms that could possibly bleed into ne PA during the afternoon and early evening hours. Severe weather is not expected. && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... 245 pm update... Conditions on Saturday remain on the quiet side with generally dry weather during the morning and some scattered afternoon/evening showers and storms. There does not appear to be any real significant forcing mechanism to generate strong thunderstorms, so should be mainly showers and weak storms until close to sunset when the boundary layer subsides and stabilizes. A secondary upper wave will drop in from the north on Sunday, but will once again be met with a relatively dry air mass and likely not be able to produce much in the way of strong thunderstorms. The wave will exit to the east late Sunday and heights will rise aloft behind the system during the day Monday. This should keep most of the area quiet early next week with generally mild temperatures...into the lower 80s. && .AVIATION /20Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... A prefrontal trough will cross the terminals this afternoon with thunderstorms expected. Included a 3 to 4 hour tempo group at all terminals for MVFR thunderstorms along with strong gusty winds. At KITH/KSYR/KELM the thunderstorms are expected between 18Z-21Z and at KRME/KBGM/KAVP the timing is 20Z-24Z. This evening primarily VFR conditions are expected until 06Z-09Z when MVFR/Alternate Required conditions are forecast due to stratus. Conditions will return to VFR by mid morning with ceilings around 4K feet. Southwest winds at 5-10 knots with gusts to 20 knots this afternoon. Winds becoming light and variable this evening then northwest on Wednesday around 5 knots. Outlook... Wednesday afternoon...Brief restrictions possible at KAVP in thunderstorms, otherwise VFR. Thursday through Sunday...Mainly VFR. && .BGM WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... PA...None. NY...None. && SYNOPSIS...RRM NEAR TERM...RRM SHORT TERM...BJT LONG TERM...BJT AVIATION...RRM
