AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BINGHAMTON NY 950 AM EDT SUN AUG 14 2005 .SHORT TERM (TODAY - MON)... UPDATE - ANOTHER ACTIVE DAY ON TAP FOR THE RGN. CDFNT WILL BE SAGGING SLOWLY SEWD THIS AFTN. N OF THE FNT PLENTY OF CLDS WHICH WILL KEEP TEMPS IN THE 70S. MAXES 85-95 TO THE SOUTH SETTING UP A GOOD BAROCLINIC ZONE. SFC WAVE SHUD TRACK NEWD ALONG THE FNT ACRS S CNTRL NY THIS AFTN. WE WILL TWEEK THE GRIDS AND ZONES FOR COOLER TEMPS ACRS THE NRN ZONES. SAT PIX SHOW ADVANCING EDGE OF THICKER CLDS CRNTLY WORKING INTO THE NRN FINGER LAKES AND XPCT OVC SKIES AT SYR/UCA TDA. WILL LOWER MAXES TO THE M/U70S. ALOT OF LOW CLD ACRS THE TWIN TIERS BUT THIS SHUD BURN OFF. MAXES IN THE 80S LOOK GOOD THERE. FOR THE POCONOS WE COULD SEE 90S BY MID AFTN. AGAIN A TUFF CALL ON TEMPS BUT WILL MONITOR TRENDS AND GIVE IT OUR BEST SHOT. SELS OUTLOOK LOOKS GOOD INCLUDING PORTIONS OF CNTRL SRN TIER ANBD ALL OF NE PA. AMT OF HEATING WILL BE KEY FOR SVR POTNL BUT MAIN THREAT ATTM SEEMS TO BE OVER NE PA AND THE FAR SRN TIER AND WRN CATSKILLS OF NY. SVR PULSERS (WET DOWNBURSTS) OR BOWS APPEAR TO BE THE MAIN THREAT. SOME HAIL ALSO PSBL (HAD QUARTER SIZED HAIL REPORTS YDA). WILL REISSUE THE SPS FOR SVR POTNL, AND MAY INCLUDE A FEW MORE COUNTIES ACRS THE SRN TIER. PREV AFD BLO. RHB. STATIONARY FRONT WILL SLIDE NORTH THIS MORNING AS STRONG WAVE ROTATES UP LAKE ERIE. FRONT WILL THEN SLIDE SLIGHTLY SOUTHEAST WHEN WAVE PASSES. VIGOROUS LLJ AROUND 40KTS WILL ENSURE DEEP MOISTURE AND HIGH THETA-E VALUES BUILD INTO CENTRAL NY STATE. GIVEN TEMPS IN MID 80S AND DEW POINTS REMAINING AROUND 70F, CAPES SHOULD ONCE AGAIN EXCEED 1500 J/KG. WIND FIELD WILL BE STRONGER THAN SATURDAYS. THINK COMBINATION SHOULD PRODUCE AN ENVIRONMENT CONDUCIVE FOR SEVERE WEATHER. ONE NEGATIVE IS TIMING OF LLJ, WHICH IS EXITING INTO NEW ENGLAND MIDDAY AND CAUSING SOME LOW LEVEL DIVERGENCE. HOWEVER WINDS WILL STILL BE NEAR 20 KTS ON BACK SIDE RUNNING ACROSS STATIONARY FRONT, AND WE ARE ROUGHLY IN FAVORABLE RIGHT REAR QUAD OF ULJ. BEST CHC FOR SVR WILL BE SOUTH AND EAST OF STATIONARY FRONT, AND ALONG THE FRONT ITSELF WHERE LL DIR SHEAR MAY BE GREATER THAN FORECAST. MAIN THREAT WILL BE FOR HIGH WINDS AND HAIL. CONVECTION WILL STEADILY PUSH SOUTH WITH THE FRONT TOMORROW NIGHT, AS DRIER AIR FINALLY WRAPS AROUND FROM CANADA. THIS DRY AIR WILL BRING CLEARING SKIES TOWARD MONDAY MORNING, THOUGH IT APPEARS THE TIMING OF THE FRONT EXITING FAR SE ZONES REQUIRES A CHC POP THROUGH NOON. HAVE ONCE AGAIN BET ON THE HIGH SIDE OF MOS, AS THIS ATMOSPHERE HAS CONSISTENTLY PRODUCED TEMPERATURES OF 85-90 WHEN GIVEN A FEW HOURS OF HEATING. DJP && .LONG TERM (MON NIGHT - SAT)... FIRST PART OF THE PD SHD BE RELATIVELY QUIET AS SFC HIPRES BLDS INTO THE REGION BHD MON/S COLD FNT. INITIALLY THOUGHT TO INCLUDE RW/TRW FOR WED AS A WEAK COLD FNT DROPS SWRD OUT OF CANADA. HWVR...GFS RUNS HAVE BEEN CONSISTANT WITH KEEPING THE AREA DRY AS THIS SEEMS RSNBL GIVEN THE DRY ORGIN AND LACK OF MOISTURE AVBL IN THE NW FLOW. FIRST REAL CHANCE OF PCPN COMES ON THE WEEKEND WHEN A STRONG COLD FNTL SYSTEM IS FCSTD TO PASS THRU. LOOKS AS THOUGHT HE GFS IE OVERDOING THE GFS IN THE CONV ATMOSPHERE. HWVR...AT THAT RANGE THE EXACT TIME OF THE FNTL PASSAGE IS DFCLT TO TIME SO WILL INCLUDE CHANCE POPS FROM FRI - SAT...BUT IT WLD SEEM THAT MUCH OF THAT TIME WLD BE DRY. TEMPS CLOSE TO GUID FOR THE PD. MORFORD && .AVIATION (14/06Z - 15/06Z)... AN AREA OF WIDESPREAD SHRA/TSRA WILL MOVE ACROSS CWA EARLY THIS MORNING. FOR NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS BEFORE CONVECTION HITS WIDESPREAD MVFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED DUE TO VSBY RESTRICTIONS IN BR. SOME AREAS OVER THE TWIN TIERS (ELM/BGM) VSBY WILL BE REDUCED TO LIFR CATEGORY. ONCE CONVECTION BEGINS DENSE FOG WILL DISSIPATE BUT MVFR CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST MOST AREAS DUE TO SHRA/TSRA. AFTER 14Z, MVFR WILL CONTINUE DUE TO VSBY RESTRICTION IN HAZE AND SCATTERED LATE MORNING/AFTERNOON CONVECTION.
