AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
1124 AM EDT TUE JUL 7 2009

...SEVERE WEATHER LIKELY THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS EASTERN NY AND
WESTERN NEW ENGLAND...

.SYNOPSIS...
ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION
THROUGH WEDNESDAY...BRINGING MORE UNSETTLED WEATHER AND BELOW NORMAL
TEMPERATURES. A BRIEF DRY PERIOD WITH MODERATING TEMPERATURES IS
EXPECTED TOWARDS THE END OF THE WORK WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH # 559 IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 PM EDT.

INFORMATIONAL NOTE...AN 18Z SOUNDINGS WILL BE DONE.

YET ANOTHER CUTOFF/CLOSED LOW AT H500 OVER THE ONTARIO/QUEBEC
BORDER IS IMPACTING THE REGION WITH AN IMPRESSIVE SHORTWAVE MOVING
IN VIA THE WATER VAPOR LOOP ACROSS LAKE ERIE/WRN NY. THIS SHORT
WAVE WILL FOCUS SCT SEVERE STORMS. ACCORDING TO THE CSTAR RESEARCH
...THIS LOOKS LIKE A CLASSIC SEVERE ENVIRONMENT FOR LARGE HAIL AND
DAMAGING WINDS. BUF/S 500 HPA TEMPS IS -21C  OUR 12Z TEMP IS
-16C. AN ANOMALOUSLY COLD POOL OF AIR IS ALOFT.

THE FORECAST AREA HAS A PREFRONTAL BAND OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS MOVING ACROSS ERN NY.  WE ARE EXPECTING SOME SCT
SEVERE WITH THIS LINE WITH SBCAPES ACCORDING TO THE LAPS
DATA...AND A MODIFIED 12Z KALB SOUNDING RISING INTO THE 1000-1500
J/KG RANGE. LAPSE RATES CONTINUE TO STEEPEN TO ABOUT 7C/KM IN THE
H850-500/H700-500 LAYERS. WET BULB ZERO HEIGHTS ARE IN THE 7.5-9
KFT RANGE ACROSS THE RANGE WHICH ARE VERY OPTIMAL FOR SEVERE HAIL
WITH SUFFICIENT HEATING. THE DEEP SHEAR IN THE 0-6 KM LAYER IS
ABOUT 40 KTS...WITH A STRENGTHENING LOW LEVEL FLOW IN THE
AFTERNOON WITH THE APPROACHING SHORT WAVE. WE ARE EXPECTING MULTI-
CELLS/ISOLD SUPER CELLS. THE TORNADO THREAT IS VERY SMALL DUE TO A
WEAK LLJ/AND HIGH LCLS.

VIL OF THE DAY AT KALB FROM 12Z SOUNDING IS 41 KG/M2...WE ARE
EXPECTING THIS VALUE TO DROP INTO THE UPPER 30S.

OUR EXTENDED FCST IS ALSO DONE FOR THE DAY...SEE BELOW.

...PREVIOUS NEAR TERM BELOW...

SHOWERS AND STORMS HAVE MOVED INTO ADJACENT WESTERN NEW
ENGLAND AND SHOULD BE COMPLETELY OUT OF OUR CWA AFTER 400 AM.
AFTER A BRIEF BREAK MORE SHOWERS FROM THE NIAGARA FRONTIER WILL
HEAD INTO OUR ADIRONDACKS BY SUN RISE OR A LITTLE LATER.

THEN...THE MAIN ENERGY ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER AIR LOW LOCATED
NORTH OF SUE SAINT MARIE MI (A SURFACE COLD FRONT)...AIDED BY 110+
KT JET AT THE 300 HPA LEVEL...WILL ARRIVE BY MIDDAY. DYNAMICS ARE
STRONG WITH SYSTEM. 500 HPA TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO DROP TO
-18C...QUIET COLD FOR THE TIME OF YEAR. EVEN WITHOUT SUFFICIENT
SUNSHINE TODAY...SBCAPES WILL LIKELY JUMP UP TO THE 750-1000 J/KG
RANGE. IF WE WERE TO GET SOME GOOD SUNSHINE AND TEMPS WERE RAISED A
COUPLE OF DEGREES...SBCAPES COULD EASILY JUMP TO ABOUT 1500 J/KG.
ONCE AGAIN WE FEEL THE NAM PLANAR DEWPOINTS ARE A LITTLE
HIGH...FORECASTING POCKETS OF SBCAPE VALUES EXCEEDING 2000 J/KG
HOWEVER...EVEN THE GFS INDICATES DEWPOINTS WILL EASILY REACH INTO
THE 60S JUST TO THE SOUTH AND EAST OF ALBANY.

850-500 HPA LAPSE RATES APPROACH (AND IN SOME CASES) EXCEED 7.0C/KM.
WETBULB TEMPERATURES FALL TO AROUND 8,000 FEET AND THE BULK SHEAR
APPROACHES 40KTS.

THE POTENTIAL TODAY IS THERE FOR SOME OF OUR STORMS TO BECOME
SEVERE...CONTAINING LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND GUSTS. THERE IS AN
OUTSIDE THAT ONE OR TWO CELLS COULD BECOME SUPER CELLS.
 HOWEVER...LCL VALES DROPPING TO ABOUT 2500 FEET AGL WILL PROBABLY
PRECLUDE ANY TORNADOES IN OUR REGION. EITHER WAY...IT COULD BE A
ROUGH DAY IN OUR PARTS. FOR NOW...WILL CONTINUE WITH SMALL HAIL AND
GUSTY WIND WORDING IN OUR ZONES. (IF AND WHEN AN OFFICIAL SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM WATCH IS ISSUED...FORECASTERS CAN PUMP UP WORDING).

WENT WITH A BLEND OF THE MAV/MET VALUES FOR AFTERNOON HIGHS. WITH
850 HPA FORECAST AROUND +9C WE FORECAST HIGH TEMPERATURES 70-75 IN
THE HUDSON VALLEY...60S HIGHER TERRAIN. NORMALLY THESE VALUES WOULD
NOT BE WARM ENOUGH TO TRIGGER CONVECTION BUT ONCE AGAIN WE ARE
LOOKING AT AN UNUSUALLY COLD UPPER AIR LOW.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
THE COLD FRONT WILL SHIFT TO OUR EAST LATER TONIGHT. THE THREAT OF
STRONG TO EVEN LOCALLY SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE INTO THE
EVENING HOURS. THE ATMOSPHERE WILL SLOWLY SETTLE DOWN OVERNIGHT BUT
THERE WILL BE ADDITIONAL LIGHT SHOWERS THAT MIGHT ACTUALLY BE LAKE
ENHANCED AS 850 HPA TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO DROP TO ABOUT +6C
AND OF COURSE...WITH THE UPPER AIR LOW STILL TO OUR NORTH...THE FLOW
FROM THE SURFACE TO THE 500 HPA WILL BE CYCLONIC.

THE UPPER AIR LOW WILL PAINFULLY SLOWLY MOVE EAST TO OUR NORTHEAST
WEDNESDAY BUT MORE SHORT WAVES WILL LIKELY PIVOT AROUND IT. EITHER
WAY...LOTS OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO SWIRL AROUND IT.
EVEN WITH ONLY MARGINAL BREAKS OF SUNSHINE...BOTH MODELS INDICATE
SBCAPES GENERALLY IN THE 250-500 J/KG RANGE. WILL CONTINUE WITH
SLIGHT CHANCES OF THUNDER ALONG WITH CHANCES OF SHOWERS...LIKELY
OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN NORTH AND EAST OF ALBANY. WITH WET BULB
TEMPERATURES FALLING BELOW 8000 FEET...WILL INTRODUCE THE CHANCE OF
SMALL HAIL FOR THAT DAY AS WELL.

WITH A FAIR AMOUNT OF CLOUDS (ESPECIALLY OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN)
AND 850 HPA TEMPERATURES ONLY WARMING TO ABOUT +8C...WENT WITH HIGH
TEMPERATURES ONCE AGAIN 70-75 VALLEY LOCATIONS...60S HIGHER TERRAIN.
WHAT MONTH ARE TALKING ABOUT AGAIN?

EVEN ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY THURSDAY THE SLOWLY DEPARTING
UPPER AIR LOW...WILL ATTEMPT TO SEND US BOUTS OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
OUR WAY. BY LATER IN THE DAY...THE FLOW WILL FINALLY TURN MORE
ANTICYCLONIC AND DRY OUT THE LOWER LEVELS. HAVING STATED THIS...850
HPA TEMPERATURES DO NOT WARM MUCH ON THURSDAY...ONLY RANGING FROM
7-9C...STILL BELOW NORMAL FOR THE TIME YEAR. THEREFORE SURFACE
TEMPERATURES DONT LOOK A LOT WARMER THAN WEDNESDAY...JUST A FEW
POINTS...BUT STILL WELL BELOW NORMAL AS WELL.

CONTINUE WITH THE MAV/MET BLEND IDEA FOR HI/LOW TEMPERATURES IN
THE SHORT TERM RANGE.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
PERIOD TO START OUT DRY FRI NIGHT...WITH A MILD SOUTHERLY RETURN
FLOW DEVELOPING AS HIGH PRESSURE SHIFTS EASTWARD TOWARDS THE
ATLANTIC SEABOARD. HOWEVER...A COLD FRONT WILL BE APPROACHING FROM
THE GREAT LAKES REGION BY SAT MORNING. THE COLD FRONT SHOULD PASS
THROUGH SAT AFTERNOON INTO SAT EVENING. EXTENT OF CLOUD COVER AHEAD
OF THE FRONT UNCERTAIN AT THIS TIME...SO LOW CONFIDENCE IN SEVERE
POTENTIAL. ALSO...DUE TO POSSIBLE TIMING ISSUES WILL LIMIT POPS AT
50 PERCENT FOR NOW...WITH PLENTY OF TIME TO REFINE FORECAST. WILL
MENTION THUNDER TO DUE AT LEAST ELEVATED INSTABILITY PRESENT. SHOULD
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE INCREASE SUFFICIENTLY...THERE WILL BE A BETTER
CHANCE FOR ROBUST CONVECTION. GFS/ECMWF IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT FOR
THIS SYSTEM...SO FRONT SHOULD PUSH EAST OF THE REGION LATE SAT NIGHT
INTO EARLY SUN MORNING. WILL MENTION LOW CHANCE FOR MAINLY A FEW
HIGHER ELEVATION SHOWERS ON SUN DUE TO CYCLONIC FLOW ALOFT WITH A
POSSIBLE DISTURBANCE OR TWO MOVING THROUGH. IN GENERAL THE MAIN
STORY WILL BE COOL TEMPS ONCE AGAIN...WITH NORTHWEST FLOW REGIME
SETTLING IN THROUGH THROUGH MON. TEMPS EXPECTED TO BE A GOOD 5-10
DEGREES BELOW AVG. MODELS REALLY START TO DIVERGE MON NIGHT INTO
TUE...AS THE ECMWF SHOWING AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDING ACROSS THE
MIDWEST WITH AN AMPLIFIED PATTERN AND THE TROF STILL PERSISTING
ACROSS THE NORTHEAST. HOWEVER...THE GFS IS DEPICTING A FLATTER UPPER
LEVEL PATTERN WITH A WARM FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE MIDWEST. FOR
NOW WILL MENTION CHANCE POPS WITH COOL TEMPS PERSISTING.

&&

.AVIATION /15Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
ANY FOG WILL BURN OFF AT THE TERMINALS BY 13Z.

THEN...ANOTHER DISTURBANCE WILL TOUCH OFF SCATTERED SHOWERS.
AS A COLD/OCCLUDED FRONT APPROACHES LATER TODAY...SHOWERS WILL
BECOME MORE NUMEROUS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE.

IT APPEARS THAT OCCASIONAL SHOWERS WILL IMPACT THE AIRPORTS LATER
TODAY WITH POSSIBLY BRIEF DROPS IN VSBY TO MVFR (MAYBE EVEN IFR) AND
CIGS POSSIBLY DROPPING INTO THE MVFR CATEGORY AS WELL. IT IS NOT
CERTAIN HOW EXTENSIVE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL BE BUT THREAT IS
THERE FOR ANY OF THEM TO BECOME BRIEFLY SEVERE INCLUDING STRONG WIND
GUSTS AND PENNY SIZE HAIL DURING THE AFTERNOON.

FOR NOW...DID GO WITH CATEGORICAL SHOWERS AT KGFL/KALB DURING THE
AFTERNOON...STILL WENT WITH VCSH AT KPOU. INCLUDED THE CB
TERMINOLOGY.

THE SHOWER/STORM THREAT WILL CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING HOURS BEFORE
DIMINISHING OVERNIGHT. THERE MIGHT BE FOG OVERNIGHT...ESPECIALLY IF
WE GET BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS AND A WET GROUND FROM EARLIER RAINFALL.
THE WIND FIELD WILL BE LIGHT.

PLEASE REFER BACK TO THIS DISCUSSION FOR LATER DISCUSSION AND
REASSESSMENT OF THE SITUATION.

OUTLOOK...
WED...VFR...CHANCE OF MVFR IN -SHRAS/-TSRAS.
THU-FRI...VFR...XCP AM MVFR FOG POSSIBLE...NO SIG WX.
SAT...MAINLY VFR WITH GOOD CHC SHRA/TSRA.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
EXPECT OCCASIONAL SHOWER ACTIVITY BY MIDDAY...EVEN SOME IN THE
MORNING. THUNDERSTORMS ARE A GOOD BET AS WELL... AND SOME OF THESE
COULD BECOME QUITE ROBUST WITH HAIL AND GUSTY WINDS. SHOWERS AND
STORMS WILL DIMINISH DURING THE EVENING WITH A FEW LEFTOVER SHOWERS
POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT AND AGAIN INTO WEDNESDAY. BY AFTERNOON...A
THUNDERSTORM STILL CANNOT BE RULED OUT THAT MIGHT CONTAIN SMALL
HAIL.

FINALLY...BY THURSDAY...SOME DRIER WEATHER IS ANTICIPATED BUT
TEMPERATURES WILL STILL BELOW NORMAL.

RH VALUES WILL REMAIN QUITE ELEVATED THROUGH WEDNESDAY...APPROACHING
100 PERCENT EACH NIGHT.

THE WIND WILL BE LIGHT VARIABLE TO SOUTH TODAY UNDER 10 MPH AND
TONIGHT. THE WIND WILL NORTH TO NORTHWEST 5-15 MPH ON WEDNESDAY.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL PLAGUE THE REGION INTO
MID WEEK...ALTHOUGH...FLASH FLOOD POTENTIAL LOOKS CONSIDERABLY LOWER
THAN LAST WEEK DUE TO LOW PWATS AND MORE PROGRESSIVE MOVING STORMS.

PRECIPITABLE WATERS WILL INCREASE THROUGH THE DAY BUT ARE EXPECTED
TO REMAIN NEAR OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL. WHILE WIDESPREAD HEAVY
RAINFALL LOOKS MINIMAL AT THE PRESENT TIME...ONE STORM CAN DUMP OUT
ENOUGH RAIN TO PRODUCE URBAN AND SMALL STREAM FLOODING.
AGAIN...OVERALL THREAT OF SIGNIFICANT FLOODING IS LOWER THAN LAST
WEEK.

AS FOR RIVER FLOOD POTENTIAL...DO NOT EXPECT MUCH IN THE WAY OF ANY
SIGNIFICANT RESPONSE AS RIVERS HAVE HAD A CHANCE TO RECEDE FOLLOWING
LAST WEEK/S HEAVY PRECIP.  HOWEVER...MINOR RISES ARE EXPECTED
DEPENDING ON WHERE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY MOVES ACROSS.

&&

.ALY WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
CT...NONE.
NY...NONE.
MA...NONE.
VT...NONE.
