NWS Albany, NY wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 7, 12:37 PM EST, 2 hours 2 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY 137 PM EDT SAT JUN 7 2008 .SYNOPSIS... HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS ALONG WITH WIDELY SCATTERED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE THE MAIN WEATHER FEATURES ACROSS OUR REGION FOR THE WEEKEND THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK AS A LARGE AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE STRENGTHENS ALONG THE EASTERN SEABOARD. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION LATE TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT BRINGING A RETURN TO MORE SEASONABLE CONDITIONS ON WEDNESDAY. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... THE SUMMER-LIKE CONDITIONS WILL BE NOTICED ACROSS THE ENTIRE FA BY MID MORNING AFTER ANY LINGERING FOG BURNS OFF. AS WARM FRONT HAS FINALLY LIFTED NORTHEAST THROUGH FA EARLY THIS MORNING EXPECT THAT ANY CONVECTION TODAY WILL BE LIMITED FOR SEVERAL REASONS. FIRST WILL BE LOW LEVEL INVERSION WITH CAPE BEING ELEVATED THIS AFTERNOON. SECOND WILL BE LACK OF A GOOD FOCUSING MECHANISM. THIRD WILL BE LACK OF STRONG DIVQ ALOFT AND FOURTH 0-3KM HELICITY VALUES REMAIN BELOW 100 DURING THE AFTERNOON. STILL WITH SB CAPES INCREASING RAPIDLY TO 1000-2500 J/KG BY 18Z AND H10-H8 THETA E RIDGE ALIGNED FROM SRN VT TO TACONICS AND MID HUDSON VALLEY AT LEAST A FEW THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE. ANY THUNDERSTORMS WHICH DEVELOP COULD PRODUCE SOME HEAVY DOWNPOURS AND WIND GUSTS 40-45 KTS EARLY IN THE AFTERNOON...BUT WIND FIELDS ALOFT DECREASE LATER IN THE AFTERNOON TO 30-35 KTS. HIGH TEMPS THIS AFTERNOON SHOULD REACH UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S IN MOST AREAS WITH H8 TEMPS IN THE +17 C TO +19 C RANGE. && .SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/... SATURDAY NIGHT ANY LINGERING CONVECTION WILL DIMINISH DURING THE EARLY EVENING HOURS WITH PATCHY FOG DEVELOPING ONCE AGAIN OVERNIGHT AND LOWS MAINLY IN THE 60S. SUNDAY LOOKS TO BE THE MORE INTERESTING OF THE WEEKEND DAYS WITH TEMPERATURES SIMILAR TO TODAY BUT A BETTER CHANCE FOR MORE WIDESPREAD CONVECTION AS A FAIRLY STRONG H10-H8 THETA E RIDGE NOSES INTO CENTRAL PORTION OF FA...SB CAPES 1000-3500 J/KG AND 0-3 KM HELICITY VALUES 100-200...AND BETTER POTENTIAL FOR CELLS WHICH DEVELOP UPSTREAM TO MOVE INTO FA AND SOME ENHANCEMENT ALSO LIKELY FROM A SURFACE TROUGH DROPPING SOUTHEAST THROUGH FA. WINDS ALOFT ALSO STRENGTHEN DURING THE AFTERNOON WITH 50 KTS BETWEEN 25 AND 30 KFT. WILL INCLUDE STRONGER WORDING IN THE HWO FOR SUNDAY THAN TODAY. SUNDAY NIGHT WILL BE SIMILAR TO SATURDAY NIGHT WITH ANY CONVECTION CONFINED TO THE EVENING HOURS BUT LOWS EXPECTED TO BE YET A FEW DEGREES HIGHER WITH MANY AREAS HAVING LOWS IN THE 65 TO 70 DEGREE RANGE. MONDAY LOOKS TO BE THE WARMEST DAY OF THIS STRETCH AS H8 TEMPS RISE TO +19 C TO +21 C. THIS ALSO IS THE DAY WHEN HEAT INDICES BECOME A CONCERN ESPECIALLY ACROSS PARTS OF THE MID HUDSON VALLEY AND LITCHFIELD COUNTY WHERE VALUES RISE ABOVE 100 MONDAY AFTERNOON. WILL ALSO HIGHLIGHT THIS IN THE HWO. THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY ON MONDAY EXPECTED TO BE LESS THAN SUNDAY AS THETA E RIDGE MAINLY CONFINED TO NORTHERN TIER OF FA WHERE HIGHEST CHANCE POPS EXPECTED. SOUTHERN TWO THIRDS OF FA REMAIN CAPPED MUCH OF THE DAY AND ELEVATED CAPES MONDAY AFTERNOON CONSIDERABLY LOWER IN MOST AREAS GENERALLY 1000-2000 J/KG. MONDAY NIGHT AS COLD FRONT STARTS TO DRIFT SOUTHEAST FROM CANADA NORTHERN PORTION OF FA WILL HAVE AN INCREASED THREAT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ESPECIALLY LATE AT NIGHT. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... ONE MORE VERY WARM TO HOT DAY EXPECTED ON TUE...AS A COLD FRONT WILL WILL BE ON OUR DOORSTEP TO THE WEST BUT WILL LIKELY NOT PASS THROUGH UNTIL EVENING. SO 85-90 DEGREE TEMPS STILL ANTICIPATED TUE AFTERNOON EXCEPT ACROSS THE WESTERN ADIRONDACKS...WHERE CLOUDS AND THE FRONT WILL MOVE IN EARLIER. 00Z GFS DEPICTS A PRE-FRONTAL TROF DEVELOPING OUT AHEAD OF THE MAIN COLD FRONT...SO WITH A DECENT BUILDUP OF INSTABILITY EXPECTED WITH WARM AND HUMID AIR MASS IN PLACE...THERE WILL BE A CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP. STILL A FEW DAYS AWAY...BUT POTENTIAL FOR ORGANIZED SEVERE STORMS EXISTS WITH POSSIBLE LARGE CAPE VALUES AND SUFFICIENT FORCING. WILL MENTION CHANCE POPS DURING THE AFTERNOON/EVENING HOURS...WITH POPS DECREASING AFTER MIDNIGHT BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. THE WED TO FRI TIME FRAME SHOULD FEATURE DRY WEATHER...AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN ON WED AND TAKES RESIDENCE ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THE REST OF THE WORK WEEK. TEMPS WILL STILL LIKELY REMAIN ABOVE AVERAGE...BUT WILL BE CLOSER TO SEASONAL NORMS COMPARED TO EARLY IN THE WEEK. ALSO...DEWPOINTS WILL BE NOTICEABLY LOWER IN COMFORTABLE 50S RANGE WED/THUR. BY FRI...A RETURN FLOW STARTS TO SET UP AS THE SFC HIGH DRIFTS OFF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST...SO TEMPS WILL BE WARMING WITH HUMIDITY INCREASING ONCE AGAIN. WILL NOT MENTION ANY POPS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON FRI AS THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE AXIS MOVES OVERHEAD. && .AVIATION /18Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... ASIDE FROM A FEW SPOTS WHICH MAY SEE HIGH END MVFR CONDITIONS DUE TO HAZE...VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL THROUGH MUCH OF THE AFTN ALL TAF SITES. AN ISOLATED T-STORM CANNOT BE TOTALLY RULED OUT...BUT CURRENT KENX WSR-88D RETURNS SHOW NOTHING IN THE AREA...AND THE REGIONAL MOSAIC IS ONLY SHOWING A FEW ISOLATED PINHEAD T-STORMS IN CENTRAL NY. FOR NOW...WILL KEEP A CB APPENDAGE TO SCT DVLPING CU AT 5KFT...BUT WILL PUT NO MENTION OF TS IN THE TAF...AS CONVECTION WILL BE SHORT-LIVED AND QUITE ISOLATED DUE TO THE LACK OF ANY FORCING MECHANISM. ANY CONVECTION WILL DIE DOWN THIS EVENING...ALLOWING FOR SKC. HIGH DEWPOINTS AND LIGHT WINDS WILL ALLOW FOR RADATIONAL FOG TO DVLP...ESP AT KGFL...WHERE THE FOG WILL GET GOING JUST A FEW HOURS AFTER SUNSET. WOULD EXPECT IFR CONDITIONS THERE AS EARLY AS 06Z. FURTHER SOUTH...WILL ONLY DROP KALB AND KPOU DOWN TO MVFR FOR NOW. IFR CONDITIONS COULD BE POSSIBLE FOR A BRIEF PERIOD PRIOR TO SUNRISE...AS BOTH LOCATIONS SAW IFR FOG/STRATUS FOR A PERIOD EARLIER THIS MORNING. HOWEVER...TEMPS SHOULDN/T DROP AS MUCH AS THEY DID THIS MORNING AND STATISTICAL GUIDANCE ISN/T AS PESSIMISTIC AS IT WAS FOR THIS MORNING/S FOG. FOG WILL LIFT TO A LAYER OF HAZY MVFR SKIES AT ALL SITES FOR A PERIOD SUNDAY MORNING BEFORE VFR CONDITIONS RETURN. MORE CONVECTION WILL BE POSSIBLE SUNDAY AFTN AS A WEAK DISTURBANCE SHOULD HELP SPARK A BIT MORE T-STORM ACTIVITY THAN THIS AFTN. SOUTHERLY WINDS MAY BE GUSTY AT TIMES DUE TO MIXING FROM DAYTIME HEATING...ESP AT KALB. WINDS WILL DIE DOWN AT ALL SITES TONIGHT...BUT MAY ONCE AGAIN GUST UP AGAIN LATE TOMORROW MORNING DUE TO MIXING AGAIN. OUTLOOK... SUN PM-TUE NIGHT...MAINLY VFR...WITH OVERNIGHT AND MORNING MVFR/IFR ASSOC WITH BR/FG AND CHC OF AFTN/EVENING TSRA/SHRA. WED...VFR. NO SIG WX. && .FIRE WEATHER... HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH WIDELY SCATTERED TO SCATTERED MAINLY AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TODAY THROUGH MONDAY. RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES WILL DROP TO 40 TO 50 PERCENT TODAY...INCREASE TO NEAR 100 PERCENT TONIGHT WITH HEAVY DEW FORMATION...AND FALL TO 50 TO 70 PERCENT ON SUNDAY. WINDS WILL BE WEST AT 5 TO 15 MPH WITH GUSTS 15 TO 25 MPH TODAY AND SUNDAY AND WEST AT 5 TO 10 MPH TONIGHT. && .HYDROLOGY... MUCH NEEDED RAIN FELL ACROSS ENTIRE MOHAWK RIVER BASIN SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE CAPITOL DISTRICT TO THE BERKSHIRE BASINS THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING. RAINFALL AMOUNTS WERE GENERALLY IN THE 1 TO 2 INCH RANGE...WITH SOME LOCATIONS IN THE UPPER MOHAWK BASIN RECEIVING AROUND 4 INCHES. THE BIGGEST RIVER RISES WERE ON THE UPPER MOHAWK RIVER...EAST CANADA CREEK AND WEST CANADA CREEK. THE FLOW AT LITTLE FALLS ON THE MOHAWK RIVER PEAKED OUT NEAR 12500 CFS EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. AN INCREASE FROM YESTERDAY OF OVER 11000 CFS. A SHARP RISE WAS ALSO SEEN ON THE HOOSIC RIVER AT WILLIAMSTOWN MASS. MOST OF THE REST OF THE AREA RECEIVED BETWEEN THREE TENTHS OF AN INCH AND ONE INCH OF RAIN. RIVER RESPONSE IN THESE AREAS WAS MINIMAL. THERE IS A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY...MAINLY DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP WITH HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE HEAVY DOWNPOURS WITH HUMID AIR MASS IN PLACE. THERE MAY BE SOME ISOLATED MINOR FLOODING IN URBAN AREAS AND POOR DRAINAGE LOCATIONS...ACCOMPANIED BY SHARP RISES ON SMALL STREAMS. IF HEAVY RAIN FROM THUNDERSTORMS FALLS IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS OVER SOUTHERN HERKIMER...FULTON...MONTGOMERY...SCHENECTADY OR ALBANY COUNTIES...WHERE TODAYS HEAVY RAIN FELL...FLASH FLOODING IS POSSIBLE DUE TO WET GROUND CONDITIONS. && .ALY WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
