NWS Binghamton, NY wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at May 22, 2:18 PM EST, 10 hours 28 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BINGHAMTON NY 318 PM EDT SAT MAY 22 2004 .DISCUSSION... WARM FRONT CURRENTLY ACROSS CENTRAL SOUTHERN TIER EAST ACROSS THE BGM AREA TO MSV. MUCH OF CWA CLOUDY AND RATHER COOL WITH JUST A FEW LIGHT SHOWERS IN NORTHERN ZONES. WARM FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE NORTHWARD THIS EVENING AND AREA WILL DESTABILIZE FAIRLY RAPIDLY LATE THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING. GFS/ETA CONTINUE TO SHOW SFC WAVE NOW OVER SOUTHERN MICHIGAN, WILL MOVE EASTWARD ALONG FRONT AND ACROSS NYS OVERNIGHT. THIS COMBINED WITH MID LEVEL SHORT WAVE AND LOW LEVEL SPEED MAX WILL PRODUCE MORE WIDESPREAD CONVECTION ACROSS NYS THIS EVENING AND POSSIBLY CONTINUING INTO THE LATE NIGHT HOURS. SHEAR VALUES ARE SIGNIFICANT AND MAINLY IN THE LOW LEVELS INDICATING POTENTIAL FOR BOW TYPE ECHOES (BULK SHEAR 0-1KM 30KTS). WENT LIKELY POPS HERE WITH CHC POPS NE PA. ACROSS NE PA FELT THE THREAT WAS LESS DUE TO DISTANCE FROM BOUNDARY AND RESULTANT WEAKER SFC CONVERGENCE. SUNDAY...FRONT REMAINS ACROSS REGION AND MAY ACTUALLY SHIFT FURTHER SOUTH OVER NY/PA BORDER FOR AWHILE SUNDAY MORNING BEHIND SFC WAVE. AS SFC LOW OVER THE MID WEST MOVES INTO THE UPPER GREAT LAKES REGION FRONT WILL SLOWLY MOVE BACK NORTH ACROSS CWA. CONTINUED WITH LIKELY POPS IN NYS AND CHC POPS NE PA. ETA MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOW LESS INSTABILITY THAN THIS EVENING SO SVR CONVECTION APPEARS LESS LIKELY. SUNDAY NIGHT...SFC LOW CONTINUES INTO THE UPPER GREAT LAKES AND ENTIRE ARE SHOULD BE IN THE WARM SECTOR BY 06Z. KEPT LIKELY POPS ACROSS NRN/CNTRL ZONES UNTIL MIDNIGHT THEN CHC POPS AS FRONT LIFTS NORTH OF CWA. MONDAY...GFS FASTER WITH FROPA THAN ETA. FOLLOWED ETA SOLUTION AND KEPT CHC POPS UNTIL EARLY AFTERNOON MOST AREAS. && EXTENDED (MON NITE-FRI)... MODELS ARE IN REASONABLE AGREEMENT THAT THE COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST OF THE AREA BY EARLY MONDAY NIGHT... BRINGING A BRIEF END TO THE RW/TRW CHANCES MONDAY NT INTO EARLY TUESDAY. APPROACHING SHORT WAVES ASSOCIATED WITH A DEVELOPING EASTERN TROUGH WILL BRING A RENEWED CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY... THEN CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD EAST ACROSS THE AREA THURSDAY AND FRIDAY ALONG WITH DRYER... COOLER WEATHER. && .AVIATION... LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE POOLED ALONG A STATIONARY BOUNDARY OVER UPSTATE NY IS RESULTING IN MVFR CIGS FOR MOST OF THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON... WITH SPOTTY IFR CIGS. EXPECT CIGS TO GRADUALLY LIFT LATER THIS AFTERNOON IN ADVANCE OF A CONVECTIVE COMPLEX THAT SHOULD DEVELOP OVER THE GREAT LAKES AREA. WENT WITH A TEMPO GROUP FOR A THUNDERSTORM FOR THIS EVENING INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS AS THE GREAT LAKES CONVECTIVE COMPLEX MOVES EAST-SOUTHEAST. TIMING WITH THIS COMPLEX IS VERY UNCERTAIN AT THIS TIME AS THE SYSTEM HAS NOT YET DEVELOPED. EXPECT MVFR-IFR CIGS AND MVFR VSBYS LATE TONIGHT... THEN GRADUAL IMPROVEMENT ON SUNDAY. THE SFC BOUNDARY WILL REMAIN CLOSE ON SUNDAY... SO A FEW SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS REMAIN A GOOD POSSIBILITY... ALTHOUGH UNCERTAINTIES IN TIMING AND COVERAGE REQUIRE THAT THEY ARE LEFT OUT OF THE TAFS AT THIS TIME. && .BGM WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
