AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BINGHAMTON NY 315 PM EDT THU MAY 1 2003 SHOWERS AND STORMS FIRING ALONG INCOMING COLD FRONT AND EXISTING OUTFLOW/LAKE BOUNDARIES AS OF THIS WRITING. THE BEST SHOT OF ANY SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS STILL LOOKS TO BE GENERALLY FROM ABOUT I-81 WEST THROUGH EARLY EVENING. THIS IS WHERE BEST COMBO OF INSTABILITY OF DEEP LAYER WIND SHEAR EXISTS. LATER THIS EVENING, THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD HAVE A TENDENCY TO DIMINISH IN INTENSITY WITH STABILIZING ATMOSPHERE. HOWEVER, BAND OF SHOWERS WILL PROBABLY INCREASE IN AREAL COVERAGE AS SURFACE WAVE RIDES ALONG THE SLOW MOVING FRONT AND MID TO UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT IMPROVES. A STEADIER RAIN WILL LAST THROUGH MUCH OF FRIDAY AS LIFT STAYS FOCUSED NEAR AND JUST NORTH OF SURFACE BOUNDARY. SOME DRYING MAY EDGE INTO OUR NORTHERN/WESTERN ZONES DURING THE AFTERNOON, CAUSING THE RAINS TO BEGIN TO TAPER DOWN THERE. FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY, A LARGE SURFACE HIGH OVER SOUTH CENTRAL CANADA WILL GRADUALLY BUILD OVER THE NORTHEASTERN U.S. AS A RESULT, THE ABOVE MENTIONED FRONT WILL SAG SOUTHWARD AND DRIER AIR WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH IN FROM THE NORTH. WELL TAPER THE RAIN BACK TO SCATTERED SHOWERS BY FRIDAY EVENING, THEN INTRODUCE SOME SUNSHINE BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON FOR THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE REGION. CLOUDS SHOULD BE SLOWER TO DEPART SOUTHERN SECTIONS DURING THE DAY SATURDAY. SUNDAY AND MONDAY SHOULD FEATURE MORE IN THE WAY OF SUNSHINE WITH MILDER TEMPERATURES. .BGM...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH UNTIL 7 PM EDT FOR MOST OF CENTRAL NY AND BRADFORD COUNTY IN NORTHEAST PA.
