AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY 843 PM EDT FRI JUN 8 2007 .SYNOPSIS... A COLD FRONT WILL BRING A ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO EASTERN NEW YORK AND WESTERN NEW ENGLAND TONIGHT. THE FRONT WILL STALL OVER EASTERN NEW ENGLAND ON SATURDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE BUILDING IN FROM THE MIDWEST WITH LESS HUMID AND MAINLY DRY WEATHER FOR THE WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK FOR MUCH OF UPSTATE NEW YORK AND WESTERN NEW ENGLAND. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/... SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH UNTI 11 PM. LOOKS LIKE ADIRONDACKS HAVE HIGHEST PROBABILITY FOR SOME POTENTIAL WIND DAMAGE IN THE SHORT TERM. MORE LATER. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY/... SATURDAY...THE FRONT STALLS AND HITS A BRICK WALL DUE TO THE DOWNSTREAM CUTOFF LOW NORTH OF BERMUDA. THE SFC DEWPOINTS LOOK LIKE THEY WILL DROP DOWN INTO THE 50S TO SAY THE NY WRN NEW ENGLAND BORDER. WE LINGERED A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS FROM THE HUDSON RIVER VALLEY EASTWARD UNTIL THE LATER MORNING OR NOONTIME. COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL BE ONGOING AND TEMPS MAINLY IN THE U60S TO 70S LOOK ON TRACK. IT WILL BE AN INTERESTING BATTLE BETWEEN THE UPSTREAM UPPER RIDGE TRYING TO FORM OVER THE OHIO VALLEY AND THE CUTOFF OFF THE COAST. SATURDAY NIGHT...WE CONTINUED A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS OVER THE ERN EXTREME OF THE FCST AREA WITH THE WASHED OUT FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND SHORT WAVE ENERGY PIVOTING AROUND THE UPPER LEVEL LOW. OUR THINKING ALIGNS BETTER WITH THE GFS FOR THIS TIME PERIOD STRAIGHT THROUGH THE WEEKEND. WE ARE LEANING TOWARDS A DRIER SCENARIO THAN THE WRF. SUNDAY-MONDAY...A WEAK SFC BUBBLE HIGH TRIES TO BUILD IN FROM THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES WITH THE OCEAN LOW SPINNING WELL E/SE OF THE GULF OF MAINE. THE SPOTTY SPRINKLES OR ISOLATED SHOWERS THE GFS...WRF...AND UKMET ARE DEPICTING CONTINUE FOR THE ERN THIRD OF THE FCST AREA. WE DID INCREASE THE CLOUD COVER. THE BEST CHANCE OF ANY SPRINKLES OR AN ISOLATE SHOWER WILL BE EAST OF THE HUDSON RIVER VALLEY. 850 MB TEMPS WILL BE AROUND +10C WITH SOME THE MOST PREVALENT MID AND HIGH LEVEL CLOUDINESS FROM THE CAPITAL DISTRICT EAST. TEMPERATURES BOTH DAYS LOOK SLIGHTLY COOLER THAN NORMAL WITH FAIRLY COMFORTABLE HUMIDITY LEVELS. OVERALL...THE CUTOFF SOUTHEAST OF NEW ENGLAND WILL BE THE PESKY PLAYER FOR ANY LIGHT PCPN DURING THE WORK WEEK. WE ARE GOING TO OPTIMISTIC WITH A DRY FORECAST TO START THE WEEK. THIS WILL HAVE TO BE MONITORED BY FUTURE SHIFTS. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/... THE MAIN ISSUE IN THE LONG TERM IS AN OCEAN CYCLONE THAT IS EAST/SOUTHEAST OF THE GULF OF MAINE. THIS OCCLUDED LOW MEANDERS A LITTLE WESTWARD IN THE LATEST GFS...06Z MREFS...LATEST ECMWF...00Z CAN GGEM...AND THE HPC PRODUCT SOLUTIONS. THE BETA EFFECT WITH THIS BAROTROPIC SYSTEM /BAROTROPIC VORTICITY EQN APPLICATION/ IS ALLOWING THE WESTWARD PROPAGATION...AND THE SHORT WAVES MOVING THROUGH THE N/NW FLOW ARE SPITTING OUT LIGHT PCPN TUE-THU...ESPECIALLY FROM THE HUDSON RIVER VALLEY EASTWARD. WE FOLLOWED HPC...AND THE 06Z MREFS WITH THE MENTION OF A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS IN THE GRIDDED PRODUCTS TUE THROUGH WED NIGHT. AS USUAL...THE ZFP PRODUCT WILL BE PCPN FREE. WE LEANED TOWARD A DRY SCENARIO WITH THE UPPER LEVEL LOW DRIFTING EASTWARD ENOUGH TO ALLOW HIGH AMPLITUDE RIDGING OVER ONTARIO...THE GREAT LAKES REGION INTO THE TN VALLEY BUILDING IN FOR THU AND FRI. THIS FORECAST MAY END UP DRY THE ENTIRE WEEK...IF THE CUTOFF DRIFTS FURTHER SOUTH AND EAST OF PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND/NOVA SCOTIA. TEMPERATURES FOR THE EXTENDED WILL REMAIN SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL TO NORMAL WITH THE PERSISTENT N/NW FLOW ALOFT. MEAN 850 MB TEMPS ARE AROUND +12C FOR THE STRETCH ACROSS THE FCST AREA. PCPN SHOULD STILL REMAIN BELOW NORMAL. && .AVIATION /01Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... VFR CONDITIONS AT KGFL/KALB/KPOU THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS WITH SOUTHERLY WINDS AT 7 TO 12 KNOTS. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO EASTERN NEW YORK TONIGHT. THERE IS A LIKELIHOOD OF SHOWERS AND THUNDER WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE WHICH WILL OCCUR OVER THE TAF SITES BETWEEN 05Z AND 09Z. EXPECT OCCASIONAL REDUCTIONS TO MVFR AND POSSIBLY IFR CONDITIONS DUE TO SHOWERS/TSTMS IN THE 04Z-09Z PERIOD...WITH CONTINUED MVFR/POSSIBLY IFR CONDITIONS DUE TO STRATUS/FOG AFTER FRONTAL PASSAGE THROUGH ABOUT 13Z. VFR CONDITIONS AFTER 13Z THROUGH 18Z. SURFACE WINDS WILL BE SOUTHERLY AROUND 5 KTS TONIGHT UNTIL FRONTAL PASSAGE...THEN SHIFT TO NORTHWEST OR NORTH BEHIND THE FRONT AT 5 TO 10 KTS. OUTLOOK... .AFT 18Z SAT...VFR. NO SIG WX. .SUN...VFR. NO SIG WX. .MON...VFR. NO SIG WX. .TUE...VFR. NO SIG WX. && .HYDROLOGY... SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT WILL HAVE LITTLE EFFECT ON AREA STREAMS AND RIVERS. TOTAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS TONIGHT ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN THE RANGE OF A QUARTER TO HALF AN INCH WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS IN THUNDERSTORMS...WHICH WILL MOSTLY JUST SOAK INTO THE GROUND. MAINLY DRY WEATHER FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS FOLLOWING THE FRONTAL PASSAGE. && .ALY WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... CT...NONE. NY...NONE. MA...NONE. VT...NONE. && NEAR TERM...NAS
