TWEAKED CURRENT TEMPS AND DEWPTS GRIDS TO CLOSER MATCH CURRENT OBS. 20 DEGREE TEMPERATURE GRADIENT FROM NW TO SE DUE TO CLOUDS. MARINE AIR EXTENDED INTO NE PA AND CATSKILLS THIS MORNING. TEMPS IN EXTREME SE HAVE WARMED TO L60S AS CLOUDS ERODE. DEPTH NOT ENOUGH TO STICK AROUND MUCH PAST EARLY AFTERNOON. FLOW SHIFTS TO S. IN THIS AREA STORMS WILL BE SLOWER TO DEVELOP. HERE MID TO LATE AFTERNOON. IN NW VERY FEW CLOUDS THIS MORNING HAS PUSHED TEMPS INTO U70S TO AROUND 80 ALREADY. WITH CONVECTIVE TEMP IN THE L80S CELLS WILL START TO FIRE IN THE NEXT 2 HOURS. AS IN PREVIOUS TWO DAYS BIGGEST THREAT WILL BE HEAVY RAINERS. 30KT LOW LEVEL JET WITH LESS WIND ABOVE COMBINED WITH PWATS OF 1.5. FLASH FLOODING AGAIN A POSSIBILITY. STORM MOVEMENT A LITTLE STRONGER TODAY THAN YESTERDAY WITH 10 KTS INSTEAD OF 5. SPS ISSUED TO COVER FLOOD AND VERY MARGINAL SEVERE POTENTIAL. && .PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... TODAY...CONVECTION OVER NRN ZONES IS DIMINISHING AND WILL SOON BE NORTH OF OUR AREA. THE MARINE LAYER HAS QUICKLY MOVED INTO SE ZONES...BUT THIS LAYER IS SHALLOW (CEILINGS 2000 FT OR LESS). REGIONAL VAD WINDS INDICATE SOUTH OR SOUTHWEST WINDS AT 2K FEET AND ABOVE...SO THE TERRAIN/WINDS SHOULD KEEP THE MARINE LAYER FROM MAKING IT TOO MUCH FARTHER NORTHWEST. WILL MENTION MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES THIS MORNING OVER FAR SE ZONES...AND PARTLY SUNNY ELSEWHERE. ONCE AGAIN SHOWERS/TSTORMS WILL DEVELOP DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS. THE AIRMASS IS A BIT WARMER ALOFT WITH STRONGER MID-LEVEL WINDS...SO STORMS SHOULD MOVE A BIT FASTER AND HAVE SLIGHTLY LOWER CAPES THAN THURSDAY. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES WILL BE NEAR 1.5 HOWEVER...AND ETA BUFKIT PROFILES SHOW SOME POTENTIAL FOR BACKBUILDING...SO THERE IS STILL THE POTENTIAL FOR VERY HEAVY RAIN AND FLASH FLOODING. ONCE AGAIN...WEAK SHORTWAVE ENERGY TO OUR SOUTHWEST SHOULD ACT AS THE TRIGGER. TONIGHT...CONVECTION FROM THE AFTERNOON WILL LAST INTO THE EVENING... AND THERE COULD ALSO BE CONVECTION AFTER MIDNIGHT AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT...SO WILL MENTION CHC POPS ALL NIGHT. TEMPS WILL REMAIN MILD WITH LOWS GENERALLY 60-65. SATURDAY...THE COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH DURING THE MORNING WITH MODELS INDICATING THE POSSIBILITY OF A WAVE DEVELOPING ALONG THE FRONT...WHICH WOULD KEEP THE CHC OF RAIN GOING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND INTO SAT EVENING. ALTHOUGH THERE WONT BE MUCH HEATING AHEAD OF THE FRONT...THE AIRMASS WILL BE UNSTABLE...SO WILL KEEP LIKELY POPS FOR ALL ZONES. && EXTENDED (SAT NGT-THU)... SAT NGT STRONG COLD FRONT WILL PUSH TO THE EAST COAST. PRECIP LINGERS AS FRONT SLOWS TO BECOME STALLED IN MID ATLANTIC REGION. MODELS MUCH CLOSER TO AGREEING ON TIMING THE FRONT THROUGH SAT AFT. SFC HIGH BUILDS IN SUN AND LASTS INTO MON WITH DRY WEATHER. RETURN SW FLOW STARTS AGAIN MON PM. NOT MUCH FORCING UNTIL COLD FRONT TUE PM. THIS FRONT STALLS ON EAST COAST WHILE ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL CROSS CWA THU NGT. NOT MUCH OF A BREAK IN BETWEEN. WED AND WED NGT SLIGHT CHC FOR NE PA AND SULLIVAN NY. FOLLOWED CLOSE TO GFS AND HPC GUIDANCE THROUGH THE PERIOD. && .AVIATION... VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREDOMINATE THROUGH THIS EVENING...WITH THE EXCEPTION OF 1-3 MILE VISIBILITIES AND 3000-4000 FOOT CEILINGS DURING AFTERNOON TSTORMS. ALSO...THERE IS A CHANCE THAT THE MARINE LAYER COULD GET INTO AVP FOR AWHILE THIS MORNING...WHICH WOULD LOWER CEILINGS TO BETWEEN 500-900 FEET. IF THIS OCCURS...SOUTHWEST WINDS AND MIXING SHOULD BRING VFR CONDITIONS BACK TO AVP BY MIDDAY. && .BGM WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NY...NONE. PA...NONE. UPDATE...CHAMPNEY DAYS 1-2 & AVIATION...VAN AUSDALL EXTENDED...CHAMPNEY
