AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE UPTON NY 308 PM EDT SUN JUN 5 2005 .SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT)... SUMMER HAS UNOFFICIALLY ARRIVED IN THE TRI-STATE REGION AS TEMPERATURES HAVE SOARED WELL INTO THE 80S THIS AFTERNOON. EVEN WITH DEW POINTS INTO THE LOWER 60S...HAVE NOT SEEN ANYTHING MORE THAN PATCHES OF CUMULUS CLOUDS...MAINLY NORTH AND WEST OF THE CITY. THUS FAR THERE HAVE BEEN NO INDICATIONS OF THE INSTABILITY FROM THE DIURNAL HEATING BEING ABLE TO OVERCOME THE SUBSIDENCE PROVIDED BY RIDGING ALOFT. RADAR HAS BEEN QUIET...EVEN UPSTREAM...AND WITH NOTHING ON THE SCOPE AS WE GO TO PRESS...WILL REMOVE MENTION OF THE SLIGHT CHANCE OF A THUNDERSTORM INLAND FOR EARLY THIS EVENING. THERE WILL BE A BETTER CHANCE MONDAY AFTERNOON...AS A PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH AXIS APPROACHES. THE TROUGH WILL ACT AS A TRIGGER...PROVIDING THAT INITIAL LIFT THAT WILL THEN USE THE AVAILABLE INSTABILITY. DO FEEL THAT THE GFS WITH ITS DEPICTION OF DEW POINTS IN THE MID 70S PRODUCING CAPES OF OVER 4000 J/KG IS OVER DONE. PREFER THE BUFKIT INTERPRETATION OF NAM DATA SHOWING 1500-2500 J/KG CAPES FROM THE COAST TO INLAND WHICH IS MORE THAN ENOUGH WITH A BOUNDARY IN THE REGION. EVEN WITH SEABREEZE INTERACTION...THINK THAT STORMS COULD BE STRONG ENOUGH TO PENETRATE INTO THE MARINE-INFLUENCED ENVIRONMENT. THE ACTUAL COLD FRONT WILL SLIDE THROUGH ON TUESDAY. THE MODELS ARE INDICATING THAT THIS WILL BE A DRY PASSAGE...BUT I HAVE LEFT LOW CHANCE POPS IN THROUGH MIDDAY FOR NOW. EVEN THOUGH THE IS AGREEMENT THAT MOISTURE WILL BE LACKING ONCE THE FRONT GETS HERE...DO NOT WANT TO IGNORE THE AIRMASS THAT IS IN PLACE PRIOR TO THE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE...ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING A WEAK TROUGH WILL BE IN PLACE ALOFT. && .LONG TERM (WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY)... SUMMER PATTERN CONTINUES THROUGH THE EXTENDED FORECAST PERIOD...WITH A MEAN RIDGE OVER THE NORTHEAST. ATMOSPHERIC FLOW REMAINS WEST OR SOUTHWEST...KEEPING US AT OR ON THE WARM SIDE OF NORMAL. WELL BE DRY WED AND THU...BUT COULD SEE SOME SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEK AS ANOTHER FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. && .AVIATION... A FEW-SCT CU AROUND 5 KFT THIS AFTERNOON WITH A MARGINALLY UNSTABLE AIRMASS IN PLACE. SUBSIDENCE INVERSION NOTED IN THE MID LEVELS WILL LIKELY SUPPRESS ANY CONVECTION AT TERMINALS DURING THE LATE AFT/ EARLY EVE HOURS. VISIBLE IMAGERY SHOWS NO SIGNS OF ISOLATED AND/OR ORGANIZED CONVECTION UPSTREAM. STAGNANT NATURE OF AIRMASS AND INCREASING LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE WILL LIKELY RESULT IN LIGHT HAZE/FOG LATER THIS EVENING AND THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT. SOUTHERLY FLOW STRENGTHENS ON MON AS UPPER TROUGH LIFTS ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES REGION WITH THE SFC TROF APPROACHING FROM THE WEST. A GOOD CHANCE FOR CONVECTION EXISTS LATE MON. && .MARINE... CONDITIONS REMAIN BELOW SCA THROUGH LATE MONDAY WITH RIDGING OVER THE REGION. THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND TSTMS DURING THE AFTERNOON ON MON. WITH SOUTHERLY FLOW AND LONG FETCH AHEAD OF APPROACHING COLD FRONT ON TUES...SEAS ON THE OCEAN SHOULD REACH MINIMAL SCA CRITERIA MONDAY NIGHT. THE FRONT WILL SLOWLY MOVE ACROSS THE WATERS TUE EVENING WITH A WEAKENING GRADIENT. HIGH PRES BUILDS INTO THE NORTHEAST FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK WITH CONDITIONS BELOW SCA ON ALL WATERS. && .HYDROLOGY... A SCATTERED SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS INTO EARLY THIS EVENING INLAND COULD PRODUCE A TENTH OR TWO OF LOCALIZED RAINFALL. THE BETTER CHANCE OF RAINFALL WILL BE MONDAY AFTERNOON INTO MONDAY NIGHT. A QUARTER TO ONE HALF INCH WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH SOME LOCALLY HIGHER...POSSIBLY AROUND AN INCH...AMOUNTS IN HEAVY RAIN WITH THE CONVECTION. WITH THE HEAVIER SHOWERS SOME PONDING WILL BE POSSIBLE. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE INTO TUESDAY BUT RAINFALL SHOULD BE LESS...ABOUT A TENTH TO A QUARTER INCH. && .OKX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... CT...NONE. NJ...NONE. NY...NONE.
