AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY 1207 PM EDT SUN JUL 2 2006 .SHORT TERM /THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/... SERIES OF DUMBELLING 500HPA CUT OFFS OVER CANADA WILL KEEP REGION ON SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF WESTERLIES WITH FAST MOVING BUT WEAK (W/R TO TEMP GRAD) SURFACE LOWS RACING ACROSS EXTREME SOUTHERN CANADA DRAGGING A QUICK SUCCESSION OF WMFNTS AND CDFNTS EVERY OTHER DAY OR SO ACROSS THE RGN. THIS EVENINGS POSES THE MOST SIG CHALLENGE AS SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED THIS AFTN INTO THE EVENING. THE CDFNT IS ABOUT SLK-BUF AND SAGGING SE ACRS RGN. CLDS ACRS RGN ARE DIMINISHING. SHORT WAVE OVER SE MI/NW OH WILL RACE ENE ALONG OR AHEAD OF CDFNT AND TRIGGER TSTMS. INCRG SUN WILL ALLOW SBCAPES VALUES TO CLIMB RAPIDLY...AND WILL LIKELY APPROACH 2000-2500 J/KG BY AFTN. THIS AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY WOULD CERTAINLY WARRANT CONCERN WITH ANY FORCING...BUT TODAY THERE IS ALSO A GREAT DEAL OF VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. 12Z ALB SOUNDING SHOWING VEERING WINDS IN THE LOWEST 5000 FEET AND QUITE A BIT OF SPEED SHEAR IN THE LOWEST 6 KM. WINDS AT 700 MB ARE WESTERLY AT 50 KTS...SO THIS RAISES FLAGS TO TO BE CONCERNED WITH STORMS THAT DEVELOP SHOULD QUICKLY BECOME SEVERE AND COULD DEVELOP MESOCYCLONES. THERE IS ENOUGH WIND SHEAR FOR SUPERCELLS...SO ISOLATED TORNADOES ARE POSSIBLE. THE ONE LIMITING FACTOR FOR TORNADIC DEVELOPMENT WILL BE A WELL MIXED BOUNDARY LAYER WITH RELATIVELY HIGH LCL. WET BULB ZERO HEIGHTS ARE AROUND 13 KFT...SO HAIL THREAT WOULD NORMALLY BE MINIMAL...BUT STORMS THAT DEVELOP STRONG MID LEVEL ROTATION WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE LARGE HAIL. COVERAGE OF SEVERE STORMS IS NOT EXPECTED TO BE WIDESPREAD...BUT THE STORMS THAT DO DEVELOP WILL LIKELY BE SEVERE. IN ADDITION GIVEN CURRENT FRONTAL TIMING AND PLACEMENT MOST LKLY CHC FOR SVR WILL BE IN S AN E PORTIONS OF FCA. TNGT CDFNT WILL SWEEP OFFSHORE AND SFC HI PRES WL BUILD INTO GRTLKS. MONDAY SHOULD BE DRY AND COMFORTABLE...BUT BY AFTN NEXT WK FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL BE RACING E WITH INCRG CHC OF -SHRA OR TSTMS LATE MONDAY WEST FCA...AND MON NT ACRS THE AREA. TUES YET ANOTHER WMFNT CDFNT COUPLET WILL RACE ACRS THE RGN KEEPING THE THREAT OF TSTMS INTO TUE EVENING. WED FAIR WX COND WILL RETURN AS YET ANOTHER SFC HIGH BUILDS E FM THE GRTLKS. && LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... THUR INTO FRI THE LARGE CANADIAN CUT OFFS ELONGATE INTO A PROGRESSIVE TROF WHICH SLIDES OFFSHORE FRI. WITH TROF DRIFTING ACRS RGN UPR LEVELS WILL COOL SOME AND WILL BE PC CONDS WITH JUST AND OUTSIDE CHC OF A -SHRA OVER N TIER HIGHER TERRAIN. FOR THE WEEKEND SFC HIGH BUILDS E FM OHIO VLY. CURRENT EFP WAS FOR A FAIR WX WEEKEND. AND NEW HPC GUIDANCE CONTINUES THAT TREND. HWVR 06Z GFS HINTS AT A SERIES OF SHRT WVS CUTTING OFF AT 500 HPA ALONG THE ATLC SEABOARD FOR THE WEEKEND...AND THE RESULTANT CYCLOGENISUS ALONG THE COAST...WITH FCA GENERALLY NW OF THIS SYSTEM BUT ENOUGH IMPACT TO SUGGEST MORE CLOUDS AND A THREAT OF RN. ITS A WEEK AWAY AND WILL GO WITH HPC DRY VERSION ATTM. && .AVIATION /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH 18Z MONDAY/... MAIN CONCERN WILL BE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTN/EVENING...AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT THAT WILL PUSH THRU THE AREA FROM NW TO SE THIS EVENING. COVERAGE IS EXPECTED TO BE SCATTERED...WITH MAINLY VFR CONDS EXCEPT FOR BRIEF MVFR/IFR WITHIN THUNDERSTORMS. SFC WINDS WILL BE GUSTY FROM THE S/SW BETWEEN 15-20 KTS WITH GUSTS TO AROUND 25 KTS...BEFORE SUBSIDING TO LESS THAN 10 KTS AND SHIFTING TO THE WEST BY LATE EVENING. THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL ALSO DIMINISH BY LATER THIS EVENING...WITH DRY CONDS OVERNIGHT AND THRU EARLY MONDAY AFTN AS WEAK SFC HI PRES BUILDS IN. SOME MVFR CONDS POSSIBLE WITH LIGHT FOG AT KGFL/KPOU AFTER MIDNIGHT...BUT THERE SHOULD BE ENOUGH OF A BREEZE TO PRECLUDE WORSE VSBY. VFR CONDS WILL BE PREVALENT SHORTLY AFTER SUNRISE. && .HYDROLOGY... RIVERS CONTINUE TO RECEDE. MOST FLOOD WARNINGS WILL END BY LATE THIS MORNING EXCEPT FOR THE HUDSON RIVER AT SCHUYLERVILLE. WATER CONTINUES TO SPILL FROM GREAT SACANDAGA LAKE AND ADDITIONAL WATER IS BEING RELEASED TO BRING THE LAKE BACK DOWN BELOW THE SPILLWAY.
