Area forecast discussion, Jun 9, 3:57 PM EST, 1 hour 53 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BINGHAMTON NY 457 PM EDT WED JUN 9 2004 .UPDATE...NO REAL CHANGES IN FORECAST THINKING...ZONES UPDATED AND REGROUPED TO REFLECT NEW SVR WATCH. MJC .PREV DISCUSSION... FIRST FEW THUNDERSTORMS OF THE DAY HAVE FIRED OVER WESTERN NY IN THE AXIS OF MAXIMUM INSTABILITY IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE LAKE BREEZE. SPC MESOANALYSIS PAGE INDICATES THAT THE CAPE IN THAT AREA IS EXCEEDING 4000 J/KG AS SFC DEW PTS HAVE CLIMBED INTO THE LOWER 70S. SHEAR FROM THE SYR PROFILE AND AREA VAD WIND PROFILERS STILL LOOKS MARGINAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER WITH THE BEST CONDITIONS ACROSS THE NORTH. MID-LVL WIND SPEEDS ON THE SYR PROFILER BETWEEN 2 AND 4 KM ARE ARE AROUND 30 KTS... AND 0-3 KM SHEAR VALUES ON THE BGM VAD WIND PROFILER IS AROUND 15 KTS... BUT UP TO 28 KTS ON THE TYX VAD WIND PROFILER. STORMS THAT FORMED WITH THE LAKE BREEZE EARLY THIS AFTERNOON APPEAR TO ORGANIZING INTO A BOW AS THEY MOVE TOWARD SOUTH CENTRAL NY... AND MAY HOLD TOGETHER ENOUGH TO CAUSE SOME TROUBLE DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON. BEST SEVERE THREAT WILL LIKELY BE THIS EVENING WHEN THE MID-LEVEL FORCING CURRENTLY MOVING OVER SE MICHIGAN MOVES EAST ACROSS THE AREA. BASED ON CURRENT CONDITIONS PLUS MODEL FORECASTS OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS THE MOST LIKELY SCENARIO STILL LOOKS LIKE A BOW ECHO THREAT THROUGH MID-EVENING AS MODERATE LOW-LEVEL SHEAR... SOME MID-LEVEL DRY AIR AND VERY STRONG INSTABILITY SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO ALLOW FOR THUNDERSTORMS TO ORGANIZE INTO BOWS. SITUATION MIGHT EVOLVE INTO A FLASH FLOOD THREAT LATER TONIGHT WITH A MODERATELY STRONG LOW-LEVEL JET... WEAK SHEAR ALOFT... HIGH PWATS AND SMALL CORFIDI VECTORS. DRYER AIR WILL GRADUALLY WORK SOUTH ACROSS THE AREA LATER TONIGHT AND THURSDAY. SHOWERS WILL PROBABLY LINGER ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA INTO THURSDAY MORNING... AND ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE AREA INTO THURSDAY AFTERNOON. THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY WILL BE DRY AND COOL. EXTENDED (FRI NGT - WED)... COLLAPSE OF RIDGE OVER NE CONUS AND BUILDING OF NORTHERN PLAINS RIDGE WILL ALLOW A COOL SFC HIGH TO SLIDE OUT OF CANADA FRIDAY NIGHT. MUCH DRIER AIR TO ACCOMPANY THE HIGH. BASED ON SOURCE AIRMASS AND AMPLE CLEARING WE HAVE LOWERED TEMPS MORE IN LINE WITH LATEST MEX GUIDANCE...SEVERAL DEGRESS BELOW CLIMO. NE RIDGE REBUILDS TEMPORARILLY OVER THE WEEKEND AS PROGRESSIVE TROF SLIDES ACROSS NORTHERN PLAINS TOWARD GREAT LAKES. GIVEN AMOUNT OF DRY AIR PROGGED TO BE IN PLACE THERE SHOULD BE MOSTLY SUNNY TO SUNNY CONDITIONS SAT AND SUN. BUILDING HEIGHTS ALOFT WILL COMBINE WITH POWERFUL SUN ANGLE TO CREATE A FAST WARMUP. WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE GUIDANCE PLAY CATCHUP OVER NEXT FEW DAYS AS WE COULD REACH 80S EASILY IN THIS PATTERN. LATTER HALF OF FORECAST UNSETTLED AS UL TROF SETS UP OVER GREAT LAKES. SERIES OF WEAK LOWS AND DISTURBANCES WILL EJECT OUT OF TROF BASE TOWARD FA. THUS HAVE GONE AT LEAST CHC POPS FOR THUNDER THROUGH PERIOD. HOWEVER SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW IS PROGGED TO BE RATHER GENTLE WITH SOURCE REGION OVER THE PLAINS RATHER THAN THE GULF. THEREFORE IT IS NOT EXPECTED MOISTURE WILL BE PARTICULARLY DEEP WARRANTING HIGHER POPS. && .AVIATION... ISOLATED CONVECTION POPPING ALONG AN APPARENT LAKE BREEZE. THIS AREA IS ALSO IN VIEW OF WEAK MOISTURE CONVERGENCE AND PRESSURE FALLS AT THE TIP OF THE THETA-E RIDGE. THIS CONVECTION IS LARGELY HIT AND MISS EARLY THOUGH THE BEST CHANCE FOR THUNDER EARLY WILL BE NEAR THE NY/PA BORDER. BETTER CHANCE FOR THUNDER DEVELOPS IN ADVANCE OF SHORT WAVE FIRING STRONGER CONVECTION BACK INTO MICHIGAN. WE HAVE ADDED TEMPO GROUPS FOR THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING FOR THUNDERSTORMS WITH HEAVY DOWNPOURS. BASES FOR THESE THUNDERSTORMS MAY REMAIN ABOVE 3500 FT HOWEVER AS LCL/S ARE HIGH. FRONTAL BOUNDARY SAGS SOUTH OVERNIGHT INCREASING CLOUD COVER AND PRODUCING SHOWERS AS IT PASSES. LOOKS LIKE A MIX OF VFR/MVFR CONDITIONS THROUGH 12Z. && .BGM...SVR TSTORM WATCH 419...THRU 02Z...ALL NY ZONES AND NRN TIER PA. MSE/PADAVONA
