AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BINGHAMTON NY 430 AM EST THU NOV 25 2004 .SHORT TERM (TODAY - FRIDAY)... INTENSIFYING SURFACE WAVE WILL MAKE ITS WAY UP INTO EASTERN CANADA IN THE NEAR TERM...ALLOWING A STRONG COLD FRONT TO PUSH EASTWARD THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA BY EARLY AFTERNOON. COMBINATION OF MARGINAL INSTABILITY JUST AHEAD OF THE FRONT...AND GOOD FORCED LIFT NEAR THE BOUNDARY...WILL BRING NARROW LINES OF SHOWERS...AND EVEN SOME THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE AREA THE FIRST HALF OF TODAY. ANY CONVECTIVE LINES WILL HAVE TO BE WATCHED FOR HIGH WIND POTENTIAL...WITH ENVIRONMENTAL WINDS OF 40-50 KNOTS JUST OFF THE DECK AS OF THIS WRITING. MUCH COLDER AIR WILL COME IN POST-FROPA THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. STRONG ISALLOBARIC COUPLET CROSSES NYS SOUTHERN TIER AND NORTHEAST PA THIS AFTERNOON...WITH GOOD PRESSURE RISES NOTED INTO EARLY TONIGHT. WIND GUSTS COULD WELL PUSH LOW-END ADVISORY CRITERIA THIS PERIOD. WELL HOLD OFF ON ANY FLAGS FOR NOW...THOUGH...TO LET THE CONVECTIVE WIND THREAT PASS FIRST. THIS WILL ALSO ALLOW THE DAY CREW TO BETTER ASSESS THE SITUATION LATER ON TODAY. THE LOW-LEVELS SHOULD COOL SUFFICIENTLY FOR ANY LINGERING RAIN SHOWERS TO CHANGE OVER TO SNOW SHOWERS BY THE END OF THE DAY. THE LAKE EFFECT SNOW MACHINE SHOULD WILL TRY TO GET CRANKED UP OVERNIGHT...AS ADEQUATE INSTABILITY AND MOIST DEPTHS ARE PROGGED. HOWEVER...BACKING LOW-LEVEL WINDS LATE AT NIGHT AND A SHALLOW CRYSTAL GROWTH LAYER SHOULD DETRACT FROM ANY REAL ORGANIZATION... AND KEEP ACCUMULATIONS TO LESS THAN 3 IN ANY ONE SPOT. SOUTHERN ONONDAGA AND NORTHERN CORTLAND COUNTIES LOOK LIKE THE MOST FAVORED AREAS AT THIS POINT. ON FRIDAY...THE FLOW IS EXPECTED TO BECOME ANTICYCLONIC AS DRIER AIR FILTERS IN. AS A RESULT...SNOW SHOWERS SHOULD DIMINISH AND ULTIMATELY COME TO AN END. -MJ && .AVIATION (06Z THU TO 06Z FRI)... SITES TO START WITH ARE VFR IN DRY SLOT AND WARM SECTOR. WINDS AT SFC HAVE SLACKENED. THIS WILL BE SHORT LIVED AS COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM WEST. WILL BE BRINGING +SHRA AND GUSTY WINDS 09Z TO 12Z...MAYBE A TAD LATER AT AVP. WITH FRONT CIGS WILL GO BACK TO IFR AND MVFR FOR THE REST OF THE DAY. CIGS WILL RISE SOME AFTER FROPA BUT SNOW SHWRS WILL BE ARND AND KEEP SOME IFR CONDITIONS ARND ESP IN LAKE EFFECT AREAS. BEHIND FRONT FLOW IN LOW LEVELS BECOMES ALIGNED FROM AROUND 300 CONTINUING INTO FRIDAY. WITH -12C 850 AIR COMING IN QUICKLY THIS AFTERNOON LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS. -TAC && .LONG TERM (FRI NGT - WED)... ACTIVE PTRN DVLPG WITH A TROF DVLPG OVER THE CNTRL AND ERN US AND SRN STREAM ENERGY HELPG THE NRN SHRT WVS. WRM FNTL FEATURE PUSHES THRU THE AREA FRI NGT. DGEX KEEPS THE AREA DRY WHILE THE GFS DVLPS SOME LGT PCPN. WILL KEEP WITH CONTINUITY WITH THE OLD FCST AND MENTION LGT PCPN. SATURDAY FEATURES A SW FLOW SFC AND ALOFT AS THE SHRT WV OVER THE LAKES DIGS AND THE COLD FNT AND SFC LOW APRCHS. SAT PRBLY WILL BE DRY BUT WILL CONT WITH LOW CHANCE POPS FOR NOW...BUT REMOVE MIXED PCPN AS THKNS MUCH TO WARM FOR A FRZN. ON SUNDAY...DGEX AND GFS AGAIN IN A BITTER DISAGREEMENT OVER THE PSN OF THE LOW. GFS TRACKS THE LOW FROM THE GREAT LAKES TO SW QUEBEC WHILE THE DGEX STREGTHENS A SFC LOW OVER THE SE CST AND TRACKS IT OFF THE EAST CST...AND IS MUCH SLOWER IN IT/S TIMING. GFS SHOWS A BIT OF BAGINESS ONLY NEAR THE CST. WILL SIMPLY KEEP THE FCST VAGUE FOR NOW AND HOPE THE MODELS BEGIN THE CONVERGE ON A SOLN. BEHIND THE LOW...GNRL TROFINESS AND COLD AIR SHD BE GOOD FOR SCT SNOW SHWRS. ANOTHER DEEPENING LOW APRCHS THE FCST AREA BEYOND THE PD. -MORFORD && .BGM WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... .NY...NONE. .PA...NONE. &&
