TACWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Binghamton, NY wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jul 27, 1:44 PM EDT, 1 hour 12 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 27, 1:44 PM EDT, 1 hour 12 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Binghamton NY 144 PM EDT Tue Jul 27 2021 .SYNOPSIS... A cold front will cross Lake Ontario this afternoon and push thunderstorms across NY and PA through the early evening hours. A few storms may include gusty winds. Wednesday will be quieter, with a chance for an isolated shower. Another round of storms will move through the region on Thursday. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... 1230 PM Update... Most of the area remains sunny and dry so far, but clouds are starting to spill into our northwestern zones ahead of an approaching shortwave. A few storms are grazing Oneida and Onondaga counties out ahead of the main area of showers and storms that is finally tracking into western NY now with the approaching cold front. With plenty of sunshine, we have been able to destabilize quite quickly, with already up to 1000 j/kg of CAPE analyzed across most of the area, so some storms already in the area may turn stronger. Instability will continue to build ahead of the front, with CAPE values in the 1000-1500 j/kg range from the Finger Lakes into the Northern Tier of PA. With bulk shear up to 30 to 45kts, the brunt of the convection moving in over the next couple of hours will likely feature some strong to severe wind gusts that could generate some wind damage. Additionally, given how sensitive we are to any rainfall, any places that can see multiple rounds of storms may experience localized flooding issues. However, storms are moving quite quickly, so this is looking to be quite isolated. Storms should largely be wrapping up by 0Z, and temperatures will quickly fall through the 70s and 60s behind the front through the late afternoon and evening. We should continue to drop back into the 50s overnight. With an upper level trough in place, we can't rule out isolated shower activity on Wednesday. A thunderstorm could also pop up over NEPA, where the models are forecasting a narrow area of instability. && .SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/... Clouds increase ahead Wednesday night of weak frontal boundary will push through the region Thursday. This front should provide just enough lift and moisture for a few showers and perhaps a thunderstorm or two. However, deeper moisture and instability will be confined to areas south of the cold front portion of the boundary across the southern Great Lakes. This will keep coverage and intensity of the precipitation down and limit the potential for any strong to severe thunderstorms. Still low level lapse rates should steepen enough to where a gusty storm or two can not be ruled out. Fairly fast storm motions and lower PW values compared to recent heavier rainfall events in the past month too. Highs should make it to around 80 after starting around 60 depending on clouds and precipitation Thursday afternoon. Our first potential lake effect shower chance of the season Thursday night into Friday with northwest flow and warm lake water. At the very least, clouds will likely be much more stubborn to hang on than model guidance indicates into a good chunk of Friday. Temperatures in the 60's and 70's due to plenty of cloud cover. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/... High pressure then builds into the region Friday night through Saturday night. Clear skies and light winds may very well lead to favorable radiational cooling Saturday night with a few indications of upper 40's in a few spots. With full sunshine temperatures should get into the 70's making for a great weather start to the weekend. A bit warmer Saturday night compared to Friday night due to southwesterly flow ahead of the next frontal boundary. Another weak frontal boundary looks to pass through on Sunday. Deep moisture and instability are modeled to be lacking once again with the front only providing enough lift for scattered showers and perhaps a thunderstorm with light QPF. This front moves southeast of the region by Monday though as usual some timing uncertainty is present within the ensembles. Highs in the 70's with lows in the 50's. && .AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... A line of showers and thunderstorms is beginning to sweep through the area this afternoon, bringing a chance for gusty winds and lightning, as well as MVFR or IFR visibility. This will first pass through KSYR between 18Z and 21Z, then through KRME and KITH between 19Z and 22Z. KELM, KBGM, and KAVP may see storms from 20Z to 24Z. After the storms move through, clouds will lower to between 1500 and 3000 feet across our NY terminals through the first half of the night, with IFR ceilings likely at KBGM and KELM after midnight. Minor visibility restrictions are expected, especially where any rain can fall earlier in the day, and as winds turn calm, IFR fog will become possible at KELM. A gradual improvement back to VFR is expected after sunrise. Outlook... Wednesday afternoon through Wednesday night...Mainly VFR. Thursday through Friday...Scattered showers/thunderstorms and associated restrictions possible, especially the afternoons. Friday night through Saturday...Mainly VFR. Sunday...Stray showers and thunderstorms possible, otherwise mainly VFR. && .BGM WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... PA...None.
