AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY 315 PM EDT FRI AUG 15 2008 .SYNOPSIS... THE UPPER AIR LOW...THE SAME ONE THAT IMPACTED OUR WEATHER MONDAY...WILL MOVE OVER OUR REGION THIS EVENING AND FINALLY OUT TO OUR EAST FOR GOOD BY LATE SATURDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FROM THE OHIO VALLEY TO BRING DRIER AND WARMER WEATHER. STILL CANNOT RULE OUT A POP SHOWER OR STORM FOR SATURDAY...BUT SUNDAY LOOKS COMPLETELY DRY. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... SO FAR...NOT A WHOLE LOT GOING ON. HAD SOME MINOR CONVECTION (SHOWERS) SINCE EARLY THIS MORNING ACROSS SOUTHERN CATSKILLS...AND HUDSON VALLEY. NOW...THAT ACTIVITY MOVED TO OUR NORTHEAST AND A FEW MORE THUNDERSTORM CELLS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS ULSTER COUNTY...SOME PRODUCING LOCALIZED AREAS OVER 2 INCHES OF RAINFALL. MORE ACTIVITY NOTED OUT IN BUFFALOS AREA...THEY ACTUALLY WARNED ON A FEW CELLS. OKX ALSO WARNED ON A CELL AS WELL. HAVING SAID THAT...IT DOES APPEAR AS IF WE WILL BREAK INTO SOME SUNSHINE THIS AFTERNOON...SO WILL LIKELY SEE THE ATMOSPHERE PERCOLATE A BIT MORE. SPC IS KEEPING AN EYE ON OUR SOUTHERN SECTIONS FOR A POSSIBLE WATCH BOX. LAPS DATA DOES SHOW THE HIGHEST SBCAPES IN THIS AREA...UP TO NEARLY 2000 J/KG...WITH GENERALLY A BIT LESS OVER THE REMAINDER OF THE REGION...1000 J/KG OR LESS. LAPSE RATES ARE MODERATE...AROUND 6.5 C/KM. THE MISSING INGREDIENT IS THE WIND...QUITE LIGHT...AT LEAST THROUGH THE LOWER LEVELS...THEREBY DECREASING THE CHANCE OF ANY ORGANIZED CONVECTION. THE MAIN THREAT THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING WILL CONTINUE TO BE HAIL...AND SOME IF IT COULD LARGE. SINCE ANY STORM THAT DOES FORM WILL MOVE QUITE SLOWLY...THERE IS STILL THE THREAT OF SOME EXCESSIVE RAINFALL. MORE ABOUT THIS WILL FOLLOW IN OUR HYDRO SECTION. && .SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/... FINALLY THIS ETERNAL PATTERN...WITH A TROUGH/CUTOFF LOW NEARBY...WILL BEGIN TO CHANGE DURING THIS TIME FRAME...NOT COMPLETELY UNTIL THE EXTENDED PERIOD. THE UPPER AIR LOW (THE SAME ONE THAT BOTHERED US MONDAY) IS WORKING ACROSS THE REGION IN WEAKEN FORM (AND THE BAROCLINIC ZONE IS NOT A STRONG TO WORK WITH)...AND WILL FINALLY MOVE ON BY TO OUR EAST ON SATURDAY. HOWEVER...THERE WILL STILL BE LINGERING COLD MID LEVEL AIR THROUGH SATURDAY. IN FACT...H500 TEMPERATURES COOL INTO EARLY SATURDAY...AS LOW AS -18C ACROSS OUR REGION. EVEN WITH DRYING AND GOOD SUBSIDENCE BENEATH THIS COLD AIR...WILL CONTINUE TO CARRY CHC/SCHC POPS ON SATURDAY...WITH THE HIGHEST BEING OVER THE SOUTHERN ADIRONDACKS WHERE THE AIR LOOKS TO BE MOST UNSTABLE. THE THREAT OF SEVERE LOOKS NEARLY NIL...BUT WITH COLD TEMPERATURES ALOFT...SMALL HAIL IS A POSSIBILITY. FOR MOST OF US...HOPEFULLY THE DAY WILL BE MAINLY DRY WITH SOME SUNSHINE (ALONG WITH PRETTY GOOD BILLOWING CUMULUS). TEMPERATURES WILL WARM A LITTLE...UPPER 70S TO NEAR 80 HUDSON VALLEY...70-75 MOST OTHER AREAS...EXCEPT SOME 60S OVER THE MOUNTAINS. EXPECT ANY CONVECTION TO DWINDLE AFTER SUNSET. WE WILL BE LEFT WITH A CLEAR TO PARTLY CLOUDY OVERNIGHT SATURDAY WITH PATCHY FOG A GOOD BET AND SEASONABLY COOL TEMPERATURES. FINALLY...AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS THROUGH MUCH OF THE ATMOSPHERE ON SUNDAY (SOMETHING WE HAVE NOT SEEN MUCH THIS MONTH)...WE THINK WE MIGHT ACTUALLY HAVE A COMPLETELY DRY DAY. H500 TEMPERATURES WARM QUITE A BIT...BACK UP TO ABOUT -10C. GOOD SUBSIDENCE SHOULD CAP THE ATMOSPHERE...AND THE MODELS INDICATE LIMITED JOULES UNDERNEATH THAT CAP. TEMPERATURES ON SUNDAY LOOK TO REBOUND INTO THE 80S IN VALLEY LOCATIONS...WELL INTO THE 70S HIGHER TERRAIN. WENT WITH A BLEND OF MODEL DATA. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... A PATTERN CHANGE IS IN THE WORKS FOR THE EXTENDED PERIOD. AT 500 MB...THE FINAL IN A SERIES OF SHORTWAVE TROUGHS WILL BE PUSHING ACROSS THE NORTHEAST FOR THE MONDAY INTO TUESDAY TIME PERIOD. THE ECMWF AND GFS ARE STILL HAVING TROUBLE ON AGREEING ON THE EXACT TIME PERIOD OF THE FRONTAL PASSAGE AT THE SURFACE. AT SOME POINT...LIKELY BETWEEN MONDAY AFTN AND TUES MORN...A FRONTAL BOUNDARY...WITH SOME SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AHEAD/ALONG IT...WILL PUSH THROUGH THE REGION. HAVE INCLUDED CHC POPS FOR TRW- THROUGH TUESDAY. BEHIND THIS BOUNDARY...A RIDGE WILL BEGIN TO BUILD ALONG THE EAST COAST OF THE CONUS. 850 MB TEMPS WILL HAVE BOTTOMED OUT ON TUESDAY JUST BEHIND THE BOUNDARY DOWN TO 10 DEGREES C...BUT WILL STEADILY WARM THROUGHOUT THE WEEK. THIS WILL ALLOW THE WED THROUGH FRI PERIOD TO BE DRY WITH INCREASINGLY WARMER MAX TEMPS EACH DAY. TOWARDS LATE IN THE WEEK...THE MAIN PLAYER TO WATCH WILL BE THE TROPICS. A SYSTEM CURRENTLY BEING INVESTIGATED OVER THE NORTHEASTERN LESSER ANTILLES WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO ORGANIZE. THE GFS AND ECMWF HAVE HANDLED THIS SYSTEM DIFFERENTLY AS OF LATE...ALTHOUGH BOTH THE 12Z GFS/ECMWF SHOW THIS SYSTEM HEADING ACROSS THE NORTHERN CARIBBEAN AND EVENTUALLY TURNING INTO THE EASTERN GULF...WHILE SEVERAL EARLIER RUNS OF THE ECMWF HAVE SHOWN THIS SYSTEM DEEPENING NICELY IN THE WESTERN ATLANTIC OFF THE SOUTHEAST COASTLINE AND POTENTIALLY RIDING UP THE COAST. WILL HAVE TO WATCH THIS SYSTEM FOR ANY POTENTIAL DIRECT OR INDIRECT IMPACT TO OUR REGION. AT THIS POINT...WE MAY ABLE TO DISCOUNT THE POSSIBILITY OF A PRE /PREDECESSOR RAIN EVENT TO AN APPROACHING TC/ FOR THE LATE WEEK PERIOD AS PAST CSTAR RESEARCH HAS SHOWN A NECESSARY INGREDIENT IS AN APPROACHING UPSTREAM FRONTAL BOUNDARY...AND NEITHER THE GFS/ECMWF ARE SHOWING THIS CLOSE ENOUGH TO OUR REGION. OF COURSE...THIS WILL ULTIMATELY DEPEND ON THE EXACT TIMING AND SPEED OF THIS SYSTEM WHICH HAS YET TO FULLY EVEN FORM YET...SO STAY TUNED. && .AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... LOW PRESSURE...ONCE AGAIN...THE MAIN CULPRIT IN SHOWERS THAT HAVE AFFECTED THE AREA THUS FAR. THIS LOW WILL CONTINUE TO AID IN CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT...AS SOME BREAKS IN CLOUDS TO THE WEST MOVE TOWARD EASTERN NY. GREATEST CHANCE FOR ACTIVE CONVECTION IS SOUTH OF THE GREATER CAPITAL REGION. ALL TERMINALS WILL START THE PERIOD WITH VFR CONDITIONS...VCSH AND CB. KALB WILL EXPERIENCE SOME MVFR CONDITIONS AS -SHRA TEMPORARILY LOWER VSBYS AND CIGS...AND POU COULD HAVE A BRIEF PERIOD OF IFR THIS AFTERNOON...MAINLY BETWEEN 20-21Z. WINDS WILL REMAIN LIGHT THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD. LIGHT TO CALM WINDS WILL AID IN FOG/MIST DEVELOPMENT OVERNIGHT. KGFL WILL DETERIORATE TO MVFR BY MIDNIGHT/4Z AND CONTINUE DOWN TO IFR VSBYS AROUND 07Z. KALB AND KPOU WILL DETERIORATE TO MVFR AFTER MIDNIGHT. ALL TERMINALS WILL RECOVER AFTER SUNRISE. DURING THE DAY SATURDAY...SOME ISOLATED VCSH POSSIBLE FOR THE LATE MORNING THROUGH THE REST OF THE DAY...BUT NOT ENOUGH COVERAGE TO PUT IN TAFS YET. OUTLOOK... SUN...VFR...NO SIG WX. MON...VFR/MVFR... CHC -TSRA TUE...VFR...SIGHT CHC -TSRA. WED...VFR...NO SIG WX. && .FIRE WEATHER... EARLIER THINKING WAS TODAY (FRIDAY) WOULD BE A WET FLAG. THUS FAR...HAS NOT PANNED OUT...COVERAGE OF RAIN HAS BEEN WIDELY SCATTERED AT BEST. HOWEVER...STILL EXPECT TO SEE ACTIVITY INCREASE THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING HOURS AND MANY AREAS COULD STILL END UP WITH A QUARTER INCH OR MORE OF RAINFALL BY LATER TONIGHT. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DWINDLE DOWN WELL AFTER DARK...FOLLOWED BY PARTIAL CLEARING AND DAMP CONDITIONS OVERNIGHT. ON SATURDAY...WHILE WE STILL CANNOT RULE OUT WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...MUCH OF THE TIME AND AREA LOOKS DRY WITH RH VALUES FALLING DOWN INTO 45-55 PERCENT RANGE. FINALLY A COMPLETELY DRY DAY IS IN STORE FOR SUNDAY WITH RH VALUES STARTING OUT NEAR THE 100 PERCENT RANGE...FALLING INTO THE 40-50 PERCENT RANGE. LIGHT WIND WILL BECOME WEST AROUND 10 MPH SATURDAY AFTERNOON SOUTH OR SOUTHWEST 10 MPH ON SUNDAY. && .HYDROLOGY... STILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR ANY THUNDERSTORM THIS EVENING TO BACKBUILD...MOVE VERY SLOWLY OR EVEN TRAIN ACROSS THE SAME REGION. FOR THIS REASON THIS CONTINUES TO BE THE VERY SLIGHT RISK OF ISOLATED EXCESSIVE RAINFALL WELL OVER AN INCH IN A SHORT TERM...WHICH COULD PRODUCE FLASH FLOODING. AGAIN...THE RISK IS VERY LOW...TOO LOW FOR A WATCH BUT SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND. WE DO NOT EXPECT ENOUGH RAIN TO FALL OVER ENOUGH OF AN AREA TO PRODUCE ANY SIGNIFICANT RISES ON OUR RIVERS. WHILE WE STILL CANNOT RULE OUT WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FOR SATURDAY...THESE WILL LIKELY NOT BE ENOUGH TO PRODUCE ANY HYDRO PROBLEMS. FINALLY...A COMPLETELY DRY DAY IS EXPECTED SUNDAY. THE NEXT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS LOOKS TO BE MONDAY. && .ALY WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... CT...NONE. NY...NONE. MA...NONE.

THERE IS A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. WHILE MOST STORMS WILL REMAIN BELOW SEVERE LIMITS...ANY STORM COULD PRODUCE MARGINALLY LARGE HAIL IN THE DIME TO NICKEL SIZE RANGE. ALSO...SINCE THE STORMS WILL MOVE ONLY SLOWLY TO THE NORTHEAST TO 10 TO 15 MPH...THERE CONTINUES TO BE THE POTENTIAL FOR ANY STORM TO BACKBUILD...TRAIN OR MOVE OVER THE SAME REGION WITH EXCESSIVE RAINFALL...AND POSSIBILITY OF LOCALIZED PONDING OF WATER ON ROADS AND AREAS OF POOR DRAINAGE. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. THERE IS THE CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON...MAINLY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN ADIRONDACKS. SOME OF THESE COULD PRODUCE SMALL HAIL. THERE IS A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS AGAIN ON MONDAY. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT EXPECTED AT THIS TIME. PLEASE REPORT ANY HAIL OR RAINFALL OVER ONE INCH TO THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE VIA NYSPIN...THE INTERNET OR TELEPHONE.
