Area Forecast Discussion

321 PM EDT Mon Jul 12 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
Warm and humid conditions are anticipated today through
Wednesday with multiple chances of showers and thunderstorms.
Localized flash flooding will possible with these repeating
batches of rain. A few of the strongest storms could also
contain gusty winds.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
330 PM Update...

A flash flood watch has once again been issued for the Southern Tier
and through all of NE PA for this afternoon until 2 am. A weak
boundary has been dropping south and will likely stall along the
NY/PA border this afternoon and be a focal point for convection.
With mostly sunny skies across most of the CWA south of cortland
county, 2000+ J/kg of SBCAPE has developed along and S of the NY/PA
border. While the 700-500 mb RH is high, there is still about 500
DCAPE across NE PA so strong winds are possible in the strongest
storms tonight. Obs show that there are southerly to southeasterly
winds across NE PA into the southern Catskills and with the high
CAPE values, there is an outside chance of a brief tornado with any
cells that are able to stay isolated.

The bigger threat this afternoon and evening will be flash flooding.
heavy rains from yesterday and nearly saturated soils from all the
rain over the last two weeks, it will not take much rain to lead to
river and stream responses. PWATs are once again between 1.8 and 2
inches and long skinny CAPE means any storm that develops will
contain high rainfall rates. While rainfall will not be as
widespread as yesterday, some training of storms is possible along
the surface boundary along the NY/PA border. Convection starting to
form already is currently south of the regions that got the heaviest
rain last night but will have to be watched just in case they drift
north.

Tonight, showers and thunderstorms could continue across NE PA as a
weak LLJ forms and helps feed nocturnal convection but confidence is
not as high for where or if those storms can get going after 3Z.
Late tonight through tomorrow morning, we get a break from the rain
with patchy fog developing once again tonight. Tomorrow we will once
again have a threat for diurnal showers and thunderstorms. With the
tropical airmass still in place, heavy rainfall is once again a
threat. Dew points get up into the low to mid 70s tomorrow along
with highs in the mid 80s so the heat index will be high in valley
locations but not expected to reach advisory criteria.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
For Wednesday, upper level trough will move into the northeast U.S
with cooling at mid-levels above a very moist boundary layer.
Surface dewpoints will be in the lower 70s mainly in the eastern CWA
as maximum heating occurs in the afternoon. Mixed layer CAPEs will
be running around 1000 to 2000 J/kg across most of east central NY
and northeast PA on the NAM and 500 to 1000 J/kg on the GFS. 0-6 km
bulk shear is projected to range from 20 to 30 knots on the NAM and
a little weaker on the GFS. With the upper level wave pushing into
the upper ridge, precipitable water values will drop to around 1.5"
or below as the day progressses from west to east. NAMNest suggests
less coverage and more progressive thunderstorms and less potential
for flash flooding. So we will have likely POPs all CWA and concur
with SPC Marginal Risk mainly eastern NY and northeast PA as drier
air builds in earlier in the day in western NY.

Then for Wednesday night precipitation from this upper level feature
tapers off and moves to the east. A sliver of an upper level ridge
and weak surface feature will cross the region overnight into
Thursday morning. Then a southwest increasingly moist flow develops
Thursday afternoon. GFS tries to bring more scattered showers and
thunderstorms for most of central NY /northeast PA Thursday
afternoon. the 12z NAM and The 06z Euro and its ensemble means holds
off for precipitation Thursday afternoon. The CMC operational keeps
Thursday dry with its ensemble mean bringing very light QPF to
Finger Lakes late Thursday. We will go a bit lower than NBM on this
which does have slight chance POPs for the Finger Lakea area
Thursday pm.

Then for Thursday night all models are dry so again we will go with
a drier forecast than NBM which has only slight chance POPs.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Followed NBM fairly closely as another upper level trough and
associated surface feature moves into the region with more showers
and thunderstorms for Saturday and Saturday night. Upper level
trough presses into the northeast U.S on Sunday. Medium Range models
vary as to how deep the trough is and hence vary on how much
convection develops Sunday. By next Monday, models vary with some
having a closed low right over NY/PA to a closed low east of NY/PA
to a broad trough over our area. We will follow NBM during this time
of model divergence in solutions.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
The shallow warm front continues to cause MVFR and occasional
Fuel Alternate conditions at ITH, SYR, and RME. While a few
showers are starting to develop SW of ELM, and these will
eventually mature into thunderstorms and move into the Southern
Tier and NE PA. ELM and ITH will be the first terminals to see
thunderstorms between 19Z and 21Z. These thunderstorms move east
and become multicellular as they approach BGM around 22Z.
Further south in NE PA, thunderstorms will be a bit more
isolated but will still be in the vicinity of AVP between 22z
and 01Z this evening. Some clearing may occur behind the storms
but overall with how much moisture there is, low ceilings and
some valley fog develops once again. ELM and BGM could see lower
cigs than what is in the TAFs but confidence was too low at
this time. The areas that see the most rain this evening will
have a better chance of seeing dense fog later tonight.

Outlook...

Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday...Busy pattern continues
with multiple waves of showers/thunderstorms and restrictions.

Wednesday night through Friday morning...Mainly VFR, but valley
fog probable for late nights-early mornings at KELM.

Friday afternoon through Saturday...Chance of showers and
thunderstorms with associated restrictions.
