Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Binghamton NY
332 PM EDT Wed May 26 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
Scattered storms, some of which could be severe with damaging
winds and perhaps hail, continue into the early evening.
Lingering showers wrap up through midnight. Cooler and dry
weather will follow the front for Thursday, followed by more
rain and chilly weather from a low pressure system passing to
the south on Friday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
330 PM Update...

A broken line of thunderstorms continues to quickly move along the
Thruway corridor, into the western Catskills this afternoon, with
reports of damaging winds and even some small hail all along its
journey across central NY so far. Meanwhile, additional scattered
convection continues to move into our southwestern zones, back into
the western Twin Tiers, northeast PA, and Finger Lakes as the pre-
frontal trough swings through. With CAPE analyzed at around 1500 to
2000 j/kg and quick lightning jumps apparent, some of these storms
are still showing a potential to turn severe. Damaging gusts,
frequent lightning, and large hail are not out of the question.
Thus, will hold onto the watch across most of the area for the time
being.

Quick rain accumulations as high as three quarters of an inch have
been achieved in the heaviest downpours so far this afternoon, but
hit an miss, scattered convection moving back through those areas
does not seem to be enough to cause much of a flooding concern.

Convection largely wraps up into the evening as we run out of
daylight, but will continue to keep in a chance for some showers and
rumbles of thunder through around midnight as the cold front finally
passes through. Temperatures should be able to quickly fall back
into the 50s overnight while clouds begin to break.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY/...
220 PM Update:

With high pressure briefly in control, Thursday will be dry and
pleasant with highs expected to be in the 60s across most of
Central NY. Highs are expected to be in the 70s from the
Southern Tier of NY southward into Northeast PA.

Clouds increase from west to east Thursday night ahead of the
next system. A few rain showers cannot be ruled out by late
Thursday night/early Friday morning, but the majority of the
rain holds off until the daytime hours on Friday. Lows are
expected to be in the lower 40s to near 50.

Friday's weather looks to be rather dreary with rain and
temperatures only topping out in the upper 40s to upper 50s,
with lower 60s for portions of the Wyoming Valley and Poconos.
The most widespread shower activity looks to be during the
afternoon into the early evening as low pressure passes south
of the area.

Occasional showers continue Friday night, although they will be
diminishing in coverage from north to south as the low pressure
moves eastward off the Mid-Atlantic coast. Lows are expected to
be in the 40s.

Conditions will continue to dry out on Saturday, although some
lingering showers will be possible, especially across Northeast
PA. Otherwise, partly sunny skies are expected with continued
cool conditions. Highs are expected to be in the upper 50s to
mid 60s.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
220 PM Update:

After a dry period Saturday night, forecast uncertainty
increases for the long term period. Some model guidance (i.e.
the 12Z GFS) has high pressure in control, leading to an
extended drier period of weather. However, other model guidance
(i.e. ECMWF and Canadian models), hints at a developing coastal
low pressure system, and some rain showers reaching our forecast
area, especially east of I-81. For now, went with the NBM for
PoPs, which led to mainly slight chance PoPs. Otherwise, a
general warming trend is expected into next week with
temperatures returning closer to normal.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
A line of thunderstorms is moving through central NY at this
time, bringing a period of frequent lightning, strong wind gusts
near and in excess of 40kts, and even a potential for some hail
mainly at KSYR, KRME, and KITH now through 20Z. Visibility has
been able to drop down to IFR in the heavier downpours. As this
broken line continues to move eastward, some scattered activity
will be possible at KELM mainly between 18 to 21Z, at KBGM from
19 to 22Z, and potentially at KAVP generally after 20Z.
However, activity so far across central PA has been considerably
more isolated.

After the thunderstorm potential winds down this evening, most
terminals will remain in VFR for the remainder of the forecast
period. However, with lower level moisture in the wake of
thunderstorm activity, some lower ceilings and even patchy fog
may cause MVFR or IFR restrictions at KRME, KITH, and KBGM.
Ceilings lift up to VFR into Thursday as clouds start to scatter
out.

Outlook...

Friday through Friday night...Rain and restrictions expected.

Saturday...Lingering showers/restrictions possible; mainly VFR.

Saturday night through Sunday night...VFR except probable late
night-early morning valley fog at least KELM; possibly others.

Monday...Mainly VFR.
