AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Albany NY
1220 PM EDT Fri Aug 4 2023

.SYNOPSIS...
An approaching cold front will bring showers and thunderstorms,
mainly this afternoon, some of which could become severe.
Locally heavy downpours will also be possible. In the wake of
the front, high pressure will bring seasonably warm temperatures
and less humid conditions for the weekend, before another
system brings showers and thunderstorms early next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
* Severe Thunderstorm Watch in effect for all of eastern New
  York and western New England until 8 pm

* Flood Watch for flash flooding in effect for Warren,
  Washington, northern Saratoga Counties in NY, and all of
  southern VT from Noon until 9 pm

.UPDATE...Quick update for issuance of Severe Thunderstorm
Watch 584 in effect through 8 pm for the entire area. Large hail
and damaging winds gusts are the main threats with storms
today. Storm coverage and intensity increasing this afternoon.

.PREV DISCUSSION[1119]...As quickly as one batch of showers and
T-storms exited the Lake George/southern VT area, another batch
moved in from the west into the Mohawk/Schoharie Valleys
already. One storm was severe in southern Herkimer county. More
storms will develop as better forcing associated with the
approaching cold front interacts with an increasingly favorable
environment. MLCAPE already up to 1000-1500 J/Kg from the
Capital District north based on SPC Mesoanalysis page, with 30
kt of effective shear. Damaging wind gusts and large hail still
expected to be the main threats, although will have to watch for
areas that see locally heavy rainfall for possible flash
flooding, especially north/east of Albany where significant
rainfall (1-3") occurred last night.

00Z/04 HREFs suggest mean SB CAPES of 1500-2000 J/kg across
much of the region by early/mid afternoon, along with 25-30 KT
of effective shear, along with fairly steep mid level lapse
rates (H7-H5 of 6.5-7 C/km). This suggests some storm
organization is possible, with some semi- discrete storms
initially which could produce isolated large hail/damaging wind
gusts, before potentially forming into clusters and producing
additional damaging wind gusts.

In addition, despite somewhat unimpressive PWAT's of 1.25-1.5",
CAMs suggest some potential for training and/or backbuilding of
cells within bands that pass through. This potential may be
somewhat maximized across portions of southern VT and the upper
Hudson Valley, where a Flood Watch for flash flooding has been
issued. Portions of northern Saratoga County also received heavy
rainfall last evening with 1-2 inches of rainfall, which has
been included in the FFA.

Max temps should reach 75-80 in valley areas, and 70-75 across
higher elevations.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
Showers/storms should continue shifting southeast through this
evening, and ending prior to midnight across southern areas.
Areas of low clouds/patchy fog may develop overnight, with lows
mainly in the lower/mid 50s across the southern Adirondacks, and
the upper 50s to lower 60s elsewhere.

High pressure will build into the region for Saturday-Sunday.
However, some cold air aloft within cyclonic upper level flow
could still allow for isolated showers to develop late Saturday
morning through mid afternoon across portions of the southern
Adirondacks and southern VT, perhaps as far south as the Lake
George/Saratoga region.

High temperatures should reach the upper 70s to lower 80s in
valleys Saturday, and lower/mid 80s Sunday, with mainly
lower/mid 70s across the higher terrain. Overnight lows will be
on the cool side, mainly in the 50s Saturday night/Sun morning,
with some 40s possible across the southern Adirondacks; slight
warming for Sun nt with mid 50s to lower 60s expected.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Unsettled conditions Monday-Tuesday as a strong low pressure
system tracks into the Great Lakes and east central Canada.
Showers and thunderstorms develop late Monday and continue into
Monday night. Depending on how quickly a cold front tracks
through the region, some showers/storms could linger into
Tuesday, especially for areas east of the Hudson River. Current
timing favors the cold front tracking through at night,
minimizing instability and severe threat, however impressive
upper level dynamics could offset this somewhat.

Seasonably warm and dry conditions return later Tuesday through
midweek, before unsettled conditions potentially return by
Thursday as yet another low pressure system tracks into the
Great Lakes region.

High temperatures each day should generally be in the lower/mid
80s in valleys, and 70s across higher elevations, with overnight
lows in the 60s Mon nt/Tue AM, cooling into the 50s to lower 60s
Tue-Wed nights, with some 40s possible across the SW
Adirondacks.

&&

.AVIATION /16Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Through 12Z Saturday...Last of convection is expected to move
off to the east of the TAFs sites early this morning. Looking
at lull in activity this morning before convection refires this
afternoon ahead of approaching cold front. Thunderstorms will
occur some of which are expected to be strong to severe. The
best window 18Z/Friday-02Z/Saturday. The front moves off to the
east this evening bringing on end to the threat for convection.

Southerly flow will persist and will get enhanced up the Hudson
River Valley for a period today with gusts into the teens. Winds
will weaken and shift to the northwest with the front's passage.

Outlook...
Saturday-Sunday Night: No Operational Impact. NO SIG WX.
Monday: Low Operational Impact. Breezy. Slight Chance of SHRA...TSRA.
Monday Night: High Operational Impact. Breezy. Likely SHRA...TSRA.
Tuesday: Moderate Operational Impact. Chance of SHRA...TSRA.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
There is the potential for multiple rounds of heavy downpours to
occur this afternoon/evening due to possible
backbuilding/training of showers/thunderstorms. Rainfall rates
greater than one inch per hour could occur, leading to
isolated/scattered instances of flash flooding. This potential
will be greatest across the upper Hudson Valley and southern VT,
including portions of northern Saratoga County where heavy
rainfall fell last evening. A Flood Watch for flash flooding is
in effect for this area where the potential of flash flooding is
greatest this afternoon/early evening.
