AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY 325 PM EDT THU JUN 17 2004 .DISCUSSION...CURRENT STLT/RADAR/LIGHTNING TRENDS INDICATE THE WORST OF THE TSTM ACTIVITY SHOULD REMAIN ALONG OR SOUTH OF THE NY/PA BORDER DURING THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING. THIS WOULD RESULT IN ONLY THE SOUTHERN MOST 6 COUNTIES HAVING A THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER THIS EVENING. THIS SCENARIO IS ALSO SUPPORTED BY MODEL DATA AND MESO-ANALYSIS WHICH PLACES THE MOST UNSTABLE AIR OVER THAT REGION. HOWEVER...THE THREAT FOR HEAVY RAIN EXTENDS FURTHER NORTH...PROBABLY AS FAR NORTH AS THE MOHAWK VALLEY AND EXTREME SOUTHERN VERMONT. WILL FORECAST CATEGORICAL POPS FOR EARLY TONIGHT ACROSS MUCH OF THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE FORECAST AREA...AND LIKELY POPS NORTH. AFTER MIDNIGHT WILL HAVE LIKELY AND CHANCE POPS...RESPECTIVELY. ETA CONTINUES FAIRLY WIDESPREAD PCPN INTO FRIDAY...BUT GFS BRINGS MOST OF THE PCPN TO AN END BY 12Z. WITH INSTABILITY AND SOME MOISTURE AVAILABLE THRUT THE DAY...WILL MAINTAIN A 30 PCT POP IN ALL ZONES INTO FRIDAY EVENING. STRONGER COLD FRONT ALREADY BEGINS TO AFFECT THE REGION BY LATE FRIDAY NIGHT...AND 12Z RUNS FORECAST IT TO MOVE THRU FASTER ON SATURDAY THAN EARLIER RUNS DID. AS A RESULT...HAVE CONFINED THE CHANCE FOR SHWRS/TSTMS ON SATURDAY TO JUST THE MORNING. FAIR BUT RELATIVELY COOL WEATHER AFTER THAT ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY. A STRONG DIGGING TROF WILL PRODUCE THE THREAT OF SHWRS AND POSSIBLY TSTMS TUES AND WED. .AVIATION...GENERALLY VFR CONDITIONS WILL DETERIORATE TO MAINLY MVFR CONDITIONS LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING...AND LINGER THROUGH THE NIGHT. THERE/S ALSO THE THREAT FOR IFR CONDITIONS DUE TO HEAVY RAIN IN TSTMS. THIS IS MOST LIKELY IN THE KPOU AREA. TSTMS IN THE KPOU AREA ARE ALSO THE MOST LIKELY TO PRODUCE STRONG GUSTY WINDS. .HYDROLOGY...MODELS...ESPECIALLY THE ETA...HAVE BACKED AWAY FROM THE WIDESPREAD HEAVY PCPN FOR THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT...THAT WAS BEING FORECAST YESTERDAY. HOWEVER...THERE STILL EXISTS THE THREAT FOR LOCALIZED TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS FROM SLOW MOVING OR REPEAT TSTM CELLS. THIS COULD CAUSE LOCALIZED FLOODING PROBLEMS ON PAVED AREAS...BUT PROBABLY NOT BE MUCH OF A PROBLEM WITH STREAMS SINCE THE GROUND IS DRY. THE LARGER RIVERS WILL RESPOND SOME BUT NOT ENOUGH RUNOFF IS EXPECTED BASIN WIDE FOR PROBLEMS. .ALY...NONE. MAGLARAS
