Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Binghamton NY
952 PM EDT Thu Aug 12 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
Lingering thunderstorms late this evening, then drying out
overnight. Hot and humid conditions and another round of
showers and thunderstorm are expected Friday. After a passing
cold front late Friday, the weekend will be seasonable and much
less humid.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...

950 PM Update...

Made some adjustments to raise PoPs where thunderstorms are
likely over the next several hours across most of NE PA. These
storms still have the potential to bring heavy downpours,
frequent cloud to ground lightning and isolated damaging winds,
through about midnight. Otherwise, just some minor adjustments
to overnight lows, cloud cover and winds...but overall the near
term forecast remains well on track.

730 PM Update...

The environment still has quite a bit of energy until the sun
sets, so it is possible that strong to severe storms may
continue into the late evening. Of most concern is a cluster of
thunderstorms in western PA which could clip the Wyoming valley
and Poconos late this evening. However, lapse rates are very
poor which has prevented more in the way of thunderstorms. The
HRRR overall has a better handle than the overdone NAM nest.
With this in mind the northern edge of the watch was trimmed
back at 7 pm with the rest of it expiring at 8 given the overall
decreasing threat. Temperatures fall to around 70 tonight, not
much relief from the heat.

Tomorrow will be a similar story with hot and humid conditions
and another chance for thunderstorms. Low-level cloud cover
present through the morning hours and even into the afternoon
could keep temperatures below the forecasted highs. Expected
highs will be in the mid to upper 80s across CNY and upper 80s
to lower 90s in NEPA. These forecasted highs are lower than the
previously forecast based on updated guidance. This was the
result even after blending in some of the 75th percentile from
the NBM. Due to this, heat indices are borderline advisory
criteria and a heat advisory was not issued at this time. It
does look like NEPA will not have the low-level cloud cover for
as long of a period tomorrow, so an advisory may be needed for
the southern counties of our forecast area. This will be re-
evaluated during the overnight update.

Another day of strong to severe storms are possible tomorrow.
Some scattered storms are possible tomorrow afternoon due to a
couple of weak waves passing through. Instability is not quite
as good as today as CAPE values are no more than 2000 J/kg and
shear values are 20-25kt. There is a little upper level support
as the jet dips down into our region and there is a slight fall
in 500mb heights.

Overnight lows will be in the 60s. A passing cold front late
Friday night and into early Saturday morning could bring some
additional scattered showers and thunderstorms, but likely
nothing severe. There is some uncertainty with how quickly this
frontal system will pass through so kept at least chance PoPs
through 06z Saturday before decreasing PoPs through the early
morning hours.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
245 PM Update...

A significant change in airmass is expected this weekend behind a
late night/early Saturday morning cold frontal passage. A
Continental Polar airmass will build in from Canada on Saturday with
much lower dewpoints in the 50s and high temperatures expected only
to reach the mid 70s. Morning clouds will give way to at least
partly sunny skies on Saturday followed by generally clear/sunny
skies for Sunday. Predominantly loaded the NBM forecast guidance,
although skewed it a bit with a blend of the cooler 10th
percentile guidance on Saturday night as there will be
significant radiational cooling prior to overnight fog/stratus
development. Upper 40s not out of the question in many parts of
CNY, although NEPA should hold out in the 50s.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
245 PM Update...

High pressure continues to influence the Northeast's weather pattern
into early next week, although warming begins again on Monday
as we start to feel the influence of return southerly flow
aloft. This trend will continue through midweek with increasing
moisture resulting in better and better chances for thunderstorm
activity again toward Wednesday and Thursday. Confidence in the
forecast becomes less during the middle part of the week as we
keep an eye on what should be the remnants of tropical system
Fred moving through the Gulf States next week. Looks like enough
moisture return for showers and thunderstorms, anyway, but the
details of whether or not we'll be dealing with tropical-like
downpours remains to be sorted out. Temperatures should be back
into the 80s for Wednesday and Thursday.

&&

.AVIATION /02Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Conditions are gradually becoming less favorable for
thunderstorms this evening. Still radar shows a brief shower
approaching KITH right around 00Z tonight. This shower should
be a quick mover and if lightning ramps up a quick AMD may be
needed. KAVP also may see another cluster of storms move through
around 01-03Z but confidence is too low for TAF inclusion at
this time. main concern overnight is for fog at KELM from 09-13Z
with indications of IFR restrictions at times.

VFR late evening through most of Friday. Some showers and
perhaps thunderstorms should develop by mid to late afternoon.
Given coverage and timing uncertainities held off on anything
more than VFR showers with this TAF set.

Outlook...

Friday night through Saturday...Scattered afternoon- evening
thunderstorms/restrictions, especially Friday night.

Saturday night through Monday...Mainly VFR.

Tuesday...Mainly VFR; slight chance for thunderstorms and
restrictions.
