AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BINGHAMTON NY
345 PM EDT MON AUG 10 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
WARM AND MUGGY CONDITIONS COMBINED WITH AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT
WILL PRODUCE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH
TONIGHT. HEAVY RAIN AND DAMAGING WINDS ARE POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY
BEFORE MIDNIGHT. A FEW SHOWERS WILL LINGER INTO TUESDAY BEFORE
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN BY MID-WEEK...BRINGING A WELCOMED STRETCH
OF DRY WEATHER TO THE ENTIRE AREA.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
WATCH 695 IN EFFECT UNTIL 11 PM...CONVECTION FIRING ON A LAKE
BREEZE BOUNDARY ACROSS SW NY STATE...WITH MORE ACTIVITY NOW
CROSSING THE NORTHERN FINGER LAKES. THE ATMOSPHERE IS PRIMED FOR
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON WITH SBCAPES RANGING FROM 3500
J/KG ACROSS THE FINGER LAKES TO 2500 J/KG ACROSS NE PA. 0-6 KM
BULK SHEAR VALUES AROUND 40 KTS SUPPORT ISOLATED SUPERCELLS WITH
THE MAIN THREAT BEING SOLID/SHORT LINES WITH DAMAGING WINDS.
CONVECTION IS BEING AIDED BY SHORT WAVE ENTERING WESTERN NY
NOW...WHICH IS PROGGED TO MOVE TO OUR EAST BY 06Z. AS THIS HAPPENS
AND WE LOSE OUR DAYTIME HEATING...CONVECTION WILL WANE. MAIN COLD
FRONT IS JUST EAST OF THE CWA BY 12Z TUESDAY. IN ADDITION TO THE
SEVERE WEATHER THREAT...OUR AREA IS RIPE FOR FLASH FLOODING. A FLASH
FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES THROUGH 06Z FOR THE NY ZONES. A HYDROLOGY
DISCUSSION IS BELOW

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
COLD FRONT MENTIONED ABOVE IS TO OUR EAST TUESDAY BUT ENOUGH
MOISTURE REMAINS BEHIND TO KEEP IN THE THREAT FOR A FEW SHOWERS OR
THUNDERSTORMS. H5 TROF SWINGS THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT...WITH DRIER
AIR BEHIND IT. HIGH PRESSURE CONTROLS OUR WEATHER WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY. THE 12Z NAM CONTINUES TO SHOW ISOLATED SHOWERS BOTH
DAYS...ESPECIALLY EAST. THIS CANT BE TOTALLY RULED OUT GIVEN THAT
WE STILL HAVE A H5 TROF IN THE EAST. WITH THAT SAID 1000-500 MB RH
VALUES ARE LOW AND WE ARE A GOOD MID LEVEL CAP AROUND 700 MB. WILL
KEEP THE GOING DRY FORECAST UNCHANGED. H850 TEMPS AROUND 13/14
SUPPORTS HIGHS IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 80S.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THE ECMWF AND THE GFS IN AGREEMENT WITH A LARGE RIDGE BUILDING
OVER THE EASTERN US...FINALLY THIS SUMMER. THIS WILL LIMIT
PRECIPITATION FOR AWHILE AND ALLOW TEMPS TO CLIMB INTO THE 80S FOR
THE WEEKEND. THERE WILL BE SOME WEAK UPPER DISTURBANCES...PLUS
SUMMERTIME HEATING THAT MAY ALLOW AN ISOLATED SHOWER TO
DEVELOP...BUT THE CHANCE IS MINIMAL ATTM.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
CURRENTLY VFR CONDITIONS ACROSS THE REGION. THIS COULD CHANGE
RAPIDLY MID AFTERNOON AS CUMULUS CLOUDS DEVELOP. EXPECT
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOP TO BEGIN TO OCCUR LATE THIS
AFTERNOON...AFTER 20Z. SOME OF THESE STORMS MAY BECOME SEVERE WITH
HIGH WINDS AS THE MAIN THREAT. HEAVY RAIN IS ALSO POSSIBLE AND
WOULD SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE VISIBILITY. THESE STORMS WILL BE
POSSIBLE THROUGH THE LATE EVENING HOURS.

SIGNIFICANT LLM WILL LKLY RESULT IN VSBY RESTRICTIONS AFT
MIDNIGHT...WITH MVFR EXPECTED MOST TERMINALS.

SW-WLY WINDS 5-10 KTS NEXT 24 HRS...EXCEPT FOR VRB/GUSTY WINDS NR
TSTMS.

OUTLOOK...
TUES...OCNL MVFR IN SHRA/TSRA.
TUES NGT THRU FRIDAY...VFR...WITH LATE NGT/EARLY MRNG
RESTRICTIONS AT ELM DUE TO VLY FOG.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
A FLASH FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES FOR THE NY ZONES THROUGH 2 AM. SOIL
CONDITIONS REMAIN VERY MOIST THANKS TO AN AXIS OF 2 TO 5 INCH
RAIN TOTALS THAT FELL YESTERDAY. THE HEAVIEST RAIN FELL ON A LINE
FROM SOUTHWESTERN ONONDAGA COUNTY SOUTH THROUGH ALL OF CORTLAND
AND CHENANGO COUNTIES...SOUTH ACROSS EASTERN BROOME...WESTERN
DELAWARE...AND NORTH CENTRAL SULLIVAN COUNTIES. NUMEROUS ROAD
CLOSURES DUE TO FLASH FLOODING WERE REPORTED IN CHENANGO AND
CORTLAND COUNTIES. THE BEAVER KILL AT COOKS FALLS CAME TO WITHIN
.5 FEET OF FLOOD STAGE. AS THE WATER CONTINUES TO DRAIN THROUGH
THE LOCAL BASINS...MANY AREAS ARE STILL RUNNING HIGH. THE CHENANGO
RIVER AT CHENANGO FORKS IS CURRENTLY ABOVE ACTION STAGE. A
RAINFALL OF THE MAGNITUDE OF LAST NIGHT WOULD PUT THE CHENANGO
RIVER WELL ABOVE THE FLOOD STAGE.

RAINFALL AMOUNTS BETWEEN 1 AND 2 INCHES WITH ISOLATED AMOUNTS MORE
THAN 2 INCHES ARE LIKELY TONIGHT AS AN AREA OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS MOVES THROUGH THE AREA. NAM BUFKIT SOUNDINGS ALONG
WITH RADAR DATA FROM WESTERN NY NOW INDICATED THAT BACK-BUILDING
CELLS ARE LIKELY EARLY THIS EVENING. WHILE THE ENTIRE AREA IS AT
RISK FOR PROBLEMS WITH FLASH FLOODING...THE AREA HIGHLIGHTED ABOVE
HAS THE HIGHEST POTENTIAL GIVEN THE ANTECEDENT CONDITIONS.
