AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Binghamton NY
854 PM EDT Thu May 23 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will push through the area into the overnight
Scattered showers and thunderstorms will taper off as the front
clears the region. This front will be followed by cooler and
drier air. Another front will approach for Saturday bringing
another round of showers and potentially strong thunderstorms.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Scattered thunderstorms have erupted in association with a
vigorous upper level short wave which was moving across NY and
northern PA at this time. This wave has pushed the cold front
into central NY roughly from about KRME to KELM in NY.
Convection has quickly developed and we have received numerous
reports of trees down in north central NY. Mixed layer CAPEs
were up to 1000 J/kg with helicities up to 300 m2/s2 or greater.
This activity will peak soon and then taper as instability
wanes. We are watching for the potential for an isolated tornado
as the environment is favorable. As this wave exits
the region so will the showers and thunderstorms and will wind
pops down after 03z.

730 PM Update...Instability has increased out ahead of the
final shortwave, which is now quickly crossing lake Ontario.
MLCAPE has reached 500-900 J/Kg, with Effective SRH values
300-400 m2/s2 and 0-6km shear increased between 60-70 kts.
Convection has fired up just ahead of this wave across Central
NY and parts of NE PA. These thunderstorms will quickly race
across the region (WNW to ESE) over the next few hours. The
activity should move out of our CWA by 10PM to Midnight. Have
issued several severe thunderstorm warnings already, and several
more may be needed...please stay weather aware this evening and
have an effective way to receive timely warnings.

600 PM Update... Have made several adjustments to the
forecast based on latest trends and high resolution models.
Bottom line is that high shear has overcome very weak CAPE
today, limiting severe weather potential, and overall
thunderstorm development. Multiple upper waves also may not have
had enough wavelength separation from each other with a second
short wave running into an area of subsidence and drying air
behind the wave that came through this morning. A third upper
wave moving from northern Michigan into Ontario has triggered
isolated activity along the Niagara Frontier. The CAMS models
continue to want to fire convection ahead of this feature this
evening. Models have not performed well today, so confidence is
much, if any, storm activity is low. That said, will still sweep
some chance PoPs across our northern counties this evening to
account for this feature and residual moderate instability
lingering in the area. Most of the southern half of our forecast
area should be relatively rain free.

Previous discussion...
Threat for severe storms highly dependent on the amount of
heating and the accompanying instability we can develop. Sat
images show plenty of clouds all the way back to Michigan, but
it does look likes some partial clearing is developing over NE
Ohio into Western NY and PA trying to work into the area. Plenty
of low level shear in place so we will continue to monitor
thunderstorms and the possibility of another Watch. Best chance
it seems like would be over the NEPA counties where better
shear and the best chance for instability exists.

Otherwise cooler air behind the front will work in this evening
and Friday. Some cold advection clouds will likely develop over
the higher terrain, mainly east of I-81 where a few sprinkles
are possible into Friday morning. Beyond that, dry conditions
will continue into Friday night as high pressure builds into the
area.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Rather complex but ill defined system races through on Saturday
and brings yet another chance for severe weather. Warm frontal
type feature races through Saturday morning developing a few
showers and perhaps a rumble of thunder. This barely clears the
northern area as a cold front plows on from the west with more
serious convection. With the warm front still nearby, concern
would be for low level shear/helicity would be available to any
cell that develops increasing the chance for damaging storms.

Of course there are model timing difference but the front should
clear the area in the late evening or just after midnight. Front
then stalls around the Mason/Dixon line early Sunday. This
should keep most convection south of the forecast area but
there is a chance that a few showers to even thunderstorms
could sneak back into NEPA.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Sunday night through Monday night: High pressure builds in and moves
the region with another calmer period in time for the holiday. Still
pleasant temperature wise with lows in the 50's and highs in the 70's.

Tuesday through Wednesday night: A mid-level ridge over the
southeast deflects the next system into the Great Lakes. An
associated warm front will provide the lift and moisture for some
additional shower and thunderstorm chances in this period. Higher
chances are currently present across northern portions of central
New York but that will be dependent on the strength and location of
the ridge over the southeast. Our region may see 80's by Wednesday
with ensemble guidance potentially too cool if the boundary ends up
north of our region.

&&

.AVIATION /01Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Cold front sweeping through the area this evening will bring
showers and thunderstorms, along with brief restrictions to MVFR
levels and gusty winds. Behind the front, cold advections will
lower the ceilings to MVFR in most places as a solid strato-cu
deck moves in late overnight. Drier air and mixing will return
all stations to VFR later Friday afternoon.

Outlook...
Friday night and Saturday...VFR.

Saturday night...Showers and thunderstorms with associated
restrictions likely.

Sunday through Tuesday...Mainly VFR.

&&

.BGM WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
PA...None.
NY...None.
