AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Albany NY
144 PM EDT Sun Jun 27 2021
.SYNOPSIS...
Hot and humid weather is expected today into the middle of the
upcoming week with Monday expected to be the hottest day. The
weather should be dry today, but chances for afternoon and
evening showers and thunderstorms will increase each day during
the week.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Heat Advisory in effect for the Capital District and Mid-
Hudson Valley today...
.UPDATE...
Mostly fair and hot day continues with almost all areas now at
least partly to mostly suny. Breezy conditions continue with
south to southwest winds of 10 to 20 mph. Strong mid level
subsidence today under 5900m+ ridge. Latest run of HRRR keeps
thing dry through the evening.
.PREVIOUS...
An anomalously strong and strengthening midlevel ridge will be
centered offshore NJ/LI today with upstream troughing in the
central/northern Plains. 500 mb heights in the low 590s and 850
mb temps in the upper teens (C) are both +1 to +2 stdev. Low-
level flow with more of a southwesterly component compared with
Saturday as well as increased sunshine should lead to a
significantly warmer day today. Still a bit of uncertainty with
how much a lingering marine influence could hamper mixing depths
in the mid-Hudson Valley. Although they will be lowering
somewhat due to diurnal mixing, guidance favors dewpoints
remaining in the upper 60s to near 70F in the Hudson Valley from
Albany south, which makes sense given the high dewpoints
Saturday locally and upstream. The result is likely going to be
heat indices in the Hudson Valley zones topping out around 95F.
Although areal coverage of 95F heat indices is not expected to
be widespread, enough confidence in this occurring in the
heavier populated areas to maintain a Heat Advisory for the
Capital District and Mid Hudson Valley. Due to height rises and
lack of a trigger, convective potential seems almost nil despite
modest (500- 1250 J/kg) of SBCAPE developing. It will be a bit
breezy as well with some gusts around 20 kt.
Another muggy night expected tonight with a southerly gradient
and copious low level moisture keeping lows elevated in the
upper 60s to mid-70s. A few showers or an isolated storm cannot
be ruled out over the western Adirondacks in closer proximity
to stronger midlevel flow and low-level confluence toward
sunrise Monday.
&&
.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
Monday, the midlevel ridge continues to expand into the
forecast area, with height anomalies of +2 to +3 stdev at 500 mb
(mid-590s dam). 925 mb temperatures are likely to be a couple
of degrees warmer than Sunday, which should translate into even
hotter heat indices possibly topping out in the triple digits in
the lowest elevations as dewpoints look to remain elevated in
the upper 60s and low 70s. Additional Heat Advisories will
likely be needed. The one fly in the ointment is convective
potential. Although midlevel heights should continue to rise,
there are some signals of low-level convergence along a
surface-925 mb trough, possibly enhanced by a lake breeze. Any
updrafts should have copious instability to work with, with the
NAM12 advertising 1500-2500 J/kg MLCAPE. Better
convergence/higher convective initiation potential appears to be
to our west over CNY, but we do have chance PoPs for most of
the area aside from the southern tier of counties during the
afternoon and evening. A couple of stronger storms cannot be
ruled out given the high instability, but storms are not likely
to be long-lived or organized given deep layer shear less than
20 kt. Locally heavy rainfall is possible given PWAT values of
1.5-2.0 inches expected.
Monday night, a few lingering showers/storms are possible early,
otherwise another muggy night is expected with lows in the mid-60s
to low 70s. Some patchy fog is possible in favored areas as skies
clear.
Tuesday, the ridge may begin to break down slightly as it slides to
the south and east, but do not expect much of an airmass
change. Another day of heat and humidity is expected with the
highest 850/925 mb temps of ~18C/25C south of I-90. Heat indices
in the valleys expected to top out in the 90-100F range.
Diurnal heating is expected to erode any capping, and despite
weak forcing again, scattered showers and thunderstorms are
expected to develop along weak low-level confluence. It appears
slightly better coverage will be south of I-90, but a storm
can't be ruled out just about anywhere in the afternoon and
evening. NAM12 MLCAPEs advertised to be 1500- 2500 J/kg again,
and midlevel flow is a bit stronger with deep layer shear of
20-25 kt expected. Again, not expecting widespread severe
weather potential, but a few strong storms and locally heavy
rainfall will be possible.
A few lingering showers/storms are possible Tuesday night, otherwise
another muggy and mild night is expected with lows in the mid-60s to
around 70.
&&
.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Developing closed low dropping out of Canada causes mean ridging to
get displaced with gradual mean upper troughing in the eastern U.S.
There are considerable differences in sources of guidance/ensembles
as to where the upper closed low forms and where it tracks and when
it exits.
The best height falls are timed in the Wednesday afternoon/night
time frame, when a cold front is expected to support better coverage
of showers and thunderstorms. Before the cold front arrives, though,
Wednesday should be one more day of heat and humidity, with highs in
the upper 80s to around 90 but cooler in higher terrain. Heat
indices may reach the mid 90s and heat headlines may be needed.
Considerable instability and the more organized low level forcing
should support potentially strong thunderstorms Wednesday
afternoon/evening but boundary layer winds and deep shear do not
look too impressive. There could be some very heavy rain in some
storms. Thursday through Saturday, depending on where the upper cut
off low sets up, and when it will track through or just north of our
region, will determine if the lowering of the heat and humidity will
be more gradual, step by step each day, or if temperatures will be
around or just below normal Thursday through Saturday.
Either way, the low level boundary will be in or around our region,
providing low level forcing into the weekend, along with moisture
and the upper dynamics proximate to the upper cut off low. So, more
clouds than sun and scattered showers and thunderstorms each day,
with the best coverage in the afternoons and evenings.
Highs Thursday around 80 to mid 80s and 70s higher terrain. Highs
Friday in the mid 70s to around 80 with cooler in higher terrain.
Saturday, highs in the 70s withe some upper 60s to around 70 higher
terrain.
&&
.AVIATION /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
VFR conditions will persist through the TAF forecast period
ending 18Z/Mon. While there will be diurnally driven cu, and
perhaps even a pop-up shower, ceilings will remain VFR.
South to southwest winds at 10-15 Kt with gusts of 15 to 25 Kt
will continue into the evening hours. Winds diminish to 10 Kt
or less overnight and remain there into the day Monday.
Outlook...
Monday Night: Low Operational Impact. Slight Chance of SHRA...TSRA.
