NWS Albany, NY wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 9, 8:35 PM EST, 3 hours 30 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY 935 PM EDT MON JUN 9 2008 .SYNOPSIS... HEAT AND HUMIDITY WILL LAST FOR ONE MORE DAY AS HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS IN CONTROL OVER THE EASTERN SEABOARD. A COLD FRONT OVER THE CENTER OF THE NATION WILL CROSS OVER OUR REGION TUESDAY EVENING ACCOMPANIED BY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...SOME SEVERE. TRANQUIL AND MORE SEASONABLE CONDITIONS RETURN FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/... AS OF 935 PM EDT...TEMPS REMAIN IN THE MID/UPER 80S WITHIN THE CAPITAL REGION...WITH UPPER 70S/LOWER 80S ELSEWHERE. WITH THE EXPECTATION OF SOME CLOUDS AT TIMES OVERNIGHT...EXPECT MINS TO HOLD IN THE MID 70S CLOSE TO THE CAPITAL REGION...WITH MID 60S TO LOWER 70S ELSEWHERE. A WEAK SHORTWAVE CONTINUES TO MOVE NE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES THIS EVENING. THE TAIL END OF THIS FEATURE IS EXPECTED TO AT LEAST GRAZE THE SOUTHWEST ADIRONDACKS LATER TONIGHT...AND AS SUCH...HAVE KEPT SLIGHT CHC TO LOW CHC POPS IN THIS REGION. WE WILL NEED TO WATCH UPSTREAM RADARS FOR EVOLUTION OF MCS...CURRENTLY ONGOING ACROSS NORTHERN OHIO AND ENTERING SOUTHERN ONTARIO. THIS FEATURE HAS BEEN SHOWING SOME SIGNS OF WEAKENING. HOWEVER...GIVEN LINGERING HIGH CAPES/INSTABILITY ACROSS OUR REGION...ANY TRENDS FOR DEVELOPMENT FURTHER E WOULD AT THE VERY LEAST WARRANT INCREASING POPS INTO THE MOHAWK VALLEY AND PERHAPS INTO THE CAPITAL REGION FOR WELL AFTER MIDNIGHT. && .SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/... TWO MAIN ISSUES ARE CONTINUED HEAT AND SEVERE CHANCES...BOTH ON TUESDAY. ONE MORE DAY OF OPPRESSIVE HEAT ACROSS THE CWA ON TAP FOR TUESDAY...BEFORE RELIEF ARRIVES LATER IN THE DAY. NAM AND GFS BOTH POINT TOWARD 850MB TEMPS ABOUT A DEGREE C WARMER TOMORROW THAN TODAY. INCREASING SOUTHWEST FLOW AHEAD OF APPROACHING COLD FRONT WILL AID IN DOWNSLOPING ACROSS HUDSON VALLEY LOCATIONS. MAV MOS AT POU IS QUITE BULLISH...TOUTING 100 DEGREE MAX. MAV GUIDANCE HAS BEEN RUNNING TOO RUN WITH THIS EVENT. BUT EVEN SO.../COOLER/ ETA MOS FORECASTING 97 AT POU. TODAY/S MAX TEMPS REACHED UNDER ESSENTIALLY FULL SUNSHINE. WITH APPROACH OF FRONT TOMORROW...MAY SEE SOME MORE CLOUDS. BUT...GENERALLY LOOKING AT MID TO UPPER 90S IN VALLEY LOCATIONS TOMORROW WITH 80S HIGHER ELEVATIONS. WITH DOWNSLOPING A FACTOR...DEW POINTS TOMORROW LIKELY TO RUN IN THE MID 60S AT TIME OF MAX HEATING. THIS YIELDS HEAT INDICES IN ADVISORY RANGE FROM MID HUDSON VALLEY. WILL INCLUDE MENTION OF POSSIBLE HEAT ADVISORY TOMORROW FOR ULSTER/DUTCHESS VALLEY ZONES. STRONG COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH REGION TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND WORK THROUGH THE AREA BY TUESDAY NIGHT. SPC HAS REGION IN SLIGHT RISK. THIS LOOKS GOOD. AS FAR AS CONVECTIVE PARAMETERS GO...ALREADY NOTED MID 60S DEW POINTS. GIVEN TEMPS WELL INTO THE 90S AND MID 60S DEW POINTS...CAPE VALUES AROUND 2500-3000 J/KG. SREF ANALYSIS SHOWS BETTER THAN 70 PERCENT CHANCE OF 2000 J/KG ACROSS CWA TOMORROW AFTERNOON. MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES BETTER ON GFS AT 7-7.5C/KM VS AROUND 6.5C/KM ON ETA. 0-6KM BULK SHEAR LOOKS TO BE IN THE 35 TO 40 KNOT RANGE. PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER...SHOULD SEE A BOUT OF SEVERE WEATHER ACROSS CWA FROM SAY MID AFTERNOON INTO TUESDAY EVENING. MAIN THREAT LOOKS TO BE WIND IN BOWS...ALTHOUGH ETA DOES SHOW BACKING OF WINDS UP THE HUDSON VALLEY SUGGESTIVE OF SUPERCELL POTENTIAL. PRECIPITABLE WATERS LOOK TO BE ABOUT 1.75 -2.00 INCHES. SO...CAN/T RULE OUT HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL. ONCE FRONT CLEARS AREA TUESDAY NIGHT...COOLER AND DRIER AIR FILTERS IN FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD. TEMPERATURES COOL SOMEWHAT FROM RECENT LEVELS ON WEDNESDAY...ALTHOUGH STILL ABOVE NORMAL. NEAR NORMAL TEMPS SETTLE IN FOR THURSDAY. WITH WEAK TROUGH SLIDING ACROSS THE NORTH COUNTRY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON...WILL MAINTAIN A SLIGHT CHANCE OF A SHOWER. && .LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...DRY AND MOSTLY SUNNY CONDITIONS THROUGH FRIDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN TO THE AREA...TRAVELING SOUTH TO THE MID ATLANTIC STATES. TEMPERATURES WILL BE A DEGREE OR TWO ABOVE NORMAL. CLOUDS WILL START TO INCREASE FRIDAY NIGHT AS THE NEXT SYSTEM MAKES ITS WAY EASTWARD. SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...SFC LOW PRESSURE WILL RIDE ALONG THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES...REINFORCED BY UPPER LOW WEST OF HUDSON BAY. CLOUDS...SHOWERS AND POSSIBLY SOME THUNDERSTORMS WILL ACCOMPANY THIS SYSTEM AS THE MAIN RAIN EVENT..SATURDAY INTO SATURDAY NIGHT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA. SOME UPPER IMPULSES BEHIND THE FRONT WILL ALLOW FOR SLT CHC AND CHC POPS ON SUNDAY...AFTER THE MAIN FRONT HAS PASSED THROUGH THE AREA. MAX TEMPS WILL BE AROUND NORMAL. MONDAY...SLT CHC AND CHC POPS AS ANOTHER IMPULSE MOVES OVER SOUTHERN NY DURING THE DAY ON MONDAY. KEPT PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY CONDITIONS OVER THE CWA. MAX TEMPS WILL BE SLIGHTLY COOLER THAN NORMAL. && .AVIATION /00Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... EXPECT MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS OVERNIGHT...ALTHOUGH SOME AREAS OF MVFR VSBYS DUE TO BR ARE POSSIBLE LATER THIS EVENING INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. OTHERWISE...EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS...OTHER THAN INCREASED HAZE FOR TUE...UNTIL SCATTERED SHOWERS/TSTMS DEVELOP LATE TUE AFTERNOON. AT THIS TIME...HAVE HANDLED CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL WITH VCSH AND CB APPENDAGE...DUE TO SOME UNCERTAINTY IN CONVECTION AFFECTING ANY ONE TERMINAL. HOWEVER...CONFIDENCE IS INCREASING THAT CONVECTION WILL AFFECT THE TERMINALS AFTER 20Z/TUE...AS COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM NW...AND WORKS ON THE EXTREME HEAT/INSTABILITY. OUTLOOK... TUESDAY...VFR/MVFR TO START WITH FOG/HAZE. DETERIORATING TO MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS IN SCT SHRAS/TSRAS DURING THE AFTERNOON. WED-FRI...VFR. NO SIG WX. && .FIRE WEATHER... HAZY...WARM AND HUMID CONDITIONS CONTINUE THROUGH TONIGHT AS HUMIDITY VALUES WILL RECOVER TO BETWEEN 90 AND 100 PERCENT. PATCHY FOG AND A HEAVY DEW IS EXPECTED AS SKIES WILL CLEAR AND ALLOW RADIATIONAL COOLING TO TAKE PLACE. HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE TUESDAY YET RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES WILL BE A BIT LOWER...35 TO 45 PERCENT ACROSS THE HUDSON RIVER VALLEY...CATSKILLS...NORTHWEST CT AND WESTERN MASS. THE HUMIDITY VALUES WILL BE HIGHER...45 TO 50 PERCENT FOR THE ADIRONDACKS...WESTERN MOHAWK VALLEY AND SOUTHERN VT.
