NWS Binghamton, NY wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Apr 29, 1:00 AM EST, 5 hours 15 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BINGHAMTON NY 200 AM EDT THU APR 29 2004 .DISCUSSION... SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS A BAND OF MAINLY MID-LEVEL CLOUDS EXTENDING FROM SOUTHERN ONTARIO ACROSS LAKE ONTARIO, THEN INTO THE CATSKILLS EARLY THIS MORNING. THESE CLOUDS WERE ASSOCIATED WITH A WEAK SHORT WAVE AND WARM ADVECTION ALOFT. AS THIS MOISTURE AND BETTER WARM ADVECTION FORCING LIFT NORTHEASTWARD THIS MORNING, ANY LINGERING CLOUDS SHOULD MOVE OUT OF OUR NORTHERN AND EASTERN ZONES BY MID-MORNING. THEREAFTER, A MAINLY SUNNY AND MUCH WARMER DAY IS IN THE OFFING. READINGS SHOULD PUSH WELL INTO THE 70S IN MANY AREAS BY LATER THIS AFTERNOON, ESPECIALLY ACROSS OUR LAKE PLAIN COUNTIES. IT WILL ALSO BECOME QUITE BREEZY BY THIS AFTERNOON AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS AND STEEPENING LOW-LEVEL LAPSE RATES LEADS TO GOOD MOMENTUM TRANSFER TOWARD THE SURFACE. VARYING AMOUNTS OF HIGH, MOSTLY THIN CLOUDS SHOULD BE OVER THE REGION TONIGHT. DAYTIME HEATING SHOULD THEN LEAD TO A BIT MORE IN THE WAY OF CUMULUS DEVELOPMENT FRIDAY AFTERNOON AS DEW POINTS CLIMB INTO THE 50S BY THAT TIME. THE ETA AND GFS MODELS ARE TRYING TO DEVELOP SOME CONVECTION BY LATER FRIDAY AFTERNOON ACROSS THE REGION. ALTHOUGH SOME DESTABILIZATION SHOULD TAKE PLACE, THE AIR MASS IS LIKELY TO ONLY BECOME MARGINALLY UNSTABLE AT BEST. ALSO, A TRIGGER LOOKS TO BE LACKING. AS A RESULT, WELL KEEP THE FORECAST RAIN-FREE AT THIS POINT. EXTENDED (FRI NIGHT - WED)... DEEP 500 MB TROUGH WILL MOVE THROUGH THE PLAINS...CROSSING INTO THE UPPER MS VLY. RUN TO RUN CONSISTENCY IS A BIT IN QUESTION AS THE 28/12Z GFS PUSHES A CLOSED 500 MB LOW ACROSS NY/PA EARLY NEXT WEEK. SW FLOW WILL BE THE RULE INTO THE WEEKEND...BEFORE ARRIVAL OF SFC COLD FRONT ON SUNDAY. HAVE OPTED TO HOLD OFF ON CHC POPS UNTIL SAT AFTERNOON. AS IS OFTEN THE CASE WITH SW FLOW...PARTICULARLY WITH CLOSED 500 MB PATTERN TO THE WEST...MODELS ADVANCE PRECIP TOO QUICKLY. THUS WILL STICK WITH PREVIOUS FORECAST OF DRY THRU SAT MORNING. TEMPS WILL RISE TO ABOVE AVERAGE ON SAT IN SW FLOW. FRONTAL PASSAGE IS PROGGED FOR SUNDAY...AND THINGS COOL DOWN A BIT BEHIND IT. LATEST GFS HAS PROMPTED ME TO ADD CHC POPS THROUGH TUESDAY...AS 500 MB CLOSED LOW AND ASSOCIATED COLD POOL ALOFT COULD PASS RIGHT OVER CWA. && .AVIATION... PATCHY MID-LEVEL CLOUDS WILL AFFECT MAINLY THE SYR AND UCA TERMINALS THIS MORNING. OTHERWISE, ONLY SOME HIGH CIRRUS SKIES SHOULD STAND IN THE WAY OF CLEAR SKIES THROUGH TONIGHT. IT WILL BECOME QUITE BREEZY BY THIS AFTERNOON, WITH SOUTHWEST WINDS GUSTING TO NEAR 30 KNOTS AT TIMES. WINDS WILL DIMINISH BY AROUND SUNSET. && .BGM WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NY...NONE.
