Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Binghamton NY
206 PM EDT Tue Aug 4 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
Tropical System Isaias will bring waves of rain and embedded
thunder today through this evening. Rain may be heavy at times,
especially east of Interstate 81, with some potential for flash
flooding. Gusty winds are expected in Poconos to Catskills this
afternoon through evening as the system whips through the area.
Drier and cooler weather is expected for Wednesday onward.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
930 AM Update...
The main changes with this latest update has been to the wind
forecast, which has been increased slightly a little more
inland towards I-81 given a slight westward shift in the NHC
guidance. Some higher gusts west of our wind advisory are
possible, but still thinking that gusts will generally stay
below criteria outside the advisory area.

Otherwise, Isaias is moving into southern PA at this time, with
the more steady, heavier rain pushing into the eastern half of
our forecast area. Still looking so far like the heaviest rain
rates will stay east of I-81. Flood advisories are out across
portions of northeast PA, as those spots had already been able
to pick up on some heavier rain in embedded convection earlier
and now heavier bands are moving in.

415 AM Update...
Tropical Storm Isaias will impact the region today, with locally
heavy rainfall especially east of Interstate 81. A Flash Flood
Watch remains in affect for most of Northeast PA, while being
expanded into Chenango-Broome Counties in NY, joining Sullivan-
Delaware-Otsego Counties. Also, gusty winds are anticipated in
the Poconos to Catskills as the system whips by this afternoon
through evening.

Isaias made landfall early in the night, and is quickly
advancing north-northeast towards our region. Tropical moisture
as expected is running way out ahead of it, with forced lift in
the right entrance region of an anti-cyclonically curved jet
over our area. This jet set up with an incoming tropical system,
is a hallmark of other past flood events in our area. We do
have some help in the form of generally dry conditions in recent
weeks for much of the area, allowing room for initial rainfall
today. However, rainfall rates will pick up considerably with
the approach of the system itself, in isolated pockets by mid
day and then more widespread across the Flash Flood Watch area
this afternoon to early evening. Models have made a very slight
yet noteworthy devil-in-the-details nudge westward with the
heaviest rainfall axis. Swath of 2-4 inches remains likely for
the Poconos-Catskills with locally higher amounts, but may edge
a little bit west as well to include more of the Wyoming Valley-
Susquehanna County areas of PA, and a bit into Broome-Chenango
Counties in NY. There will be a sharp gradient to lower values
immediately west of the heavier rainfall axis.

However, it is very important not to get hung up too much on
totals; it is the rainfall rates that will be the bigger
problem. For example, most of our area could pretty easily take
a couple inches of rain total; the problem is that most of that
may occur in a very short window of time. Thus even only 2
inches or so of rain could result in flash flooding, especially
poor drainage/urban areas. And unfortunately, some locations
will likely get well over that, especially the Poconos-
Catskills areas.

Pike-Sullivan counties continue to be enough within the
expected track to get strong gusty winds as the system whips by
this afternoon- evening. 40-50 mph gusts are likely especially
at higher elevations, which is easily enough to cause some tree
damage and at least scattered power outages. The Wind Advisory
thus remains in effect for Pike-Sullivan. However, it should be
noted that any individual embedded storm cells even a bit west
of Pike-Sullivan could also cause locally gusty winds. Also,
the Storm Prediction Center maintains a marginal risk for severe
thunderstorms in Pike-Sullivan; even a very small chance of an
isolated tornado within embedded convective cells, though that
threat will be higher towards the coast, east of the storm
track. High bulk shear values will accompany the passage of the
system in our far eastern zones, supporting the marginal risk.

Rain very quickly exits south-southwest to north-northeast from
5-8 PM. However, impacts from flooding may linger quite a bit
into tonight and thus the Flash Flood Watch will remain in
effect. A few of our flashier/headwaters-type river points,
particularly in the Upper Delaware basin, are likely to
experience strong rises. While we do not yet currently have
those forecast points getting to flood, it would not take much
to nudge it that way. The potential is definitely there, should
a locally higher heavy rain footprint align well with any of the
smaller basins.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...

Upper confluent flow will build and hold surface high pressure
over the NY/PA border Thursday into Friday. This will keep the
area generally dry and seasonable. There is a stationary frontal
boundary over northern VA that will serve to focus surface
convergence and interact with weak short waves to generate
convection. Most of this activity will stay well south of the
area but there is the chance that some of the northern fringes
could drop some light rain showers over the extreme southern
parts of our NEPA counties. Best chance of this late Thursday
night into Friday.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...

Continued quiet weather in the long term as high pressure stays
in control. Some isolated showers are possible at times but the
vast majority of the period will remain rain free.

Previous discussion continues below.

Relatively quiet weather is expected this weekend as high
pressure will be in control. A few pop-up showers or
thunderstorms will be possible either day, but the majority of
the area will likely remain dry. Temperatures will be on a
warming trend. Highs on Saturday will likely be in the lower to
mid 80s. Then mid to upper 80s expected for Sunday.

As high pressure moves east of the area, a weak wave may bring
a few showers or thunderstorms to the area on Monday. Highs will
likely be in the mid to upper 80s once again.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Rain has overspread the area with Tropical Storm Isaias moving
into east central PA. This is touching off mainly MVFR to fuel
alternate conditions so far, but IFR visibility and ceilings are
possible in the heaviest of bands. As the storm continues to
track northward, winds will turn gusty especially at KAVP over
the next several hours. Rain wraps up from south to north
through the rest of the afternoon, with the storm out of the
area by 0Z. A short-lived improvement to VFR across most of our
NY terminals will quickly deteriorate once again as MVFR and
fuel alternate ceilings return - and even IFR will be possible
at KELM. Ceilings improve after sunrise as skies start to
finally clear out. Meanwhile, once rain moves out, KAVP should
see a return to VFR conditions for the rest of the forecast
period.

Outlook...
Wednesday night through Sunday... VFR, except late night-early
morning valley fog likely at KELM beginning Wednesday night;
possibly other terminals.
