NWS Albany, NY wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Aug 16, 12:36 PM EST, 36 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY 136 PM EDT MON AUG 16 2010 .SYNOPSIS... A COLD FRONT IN THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES EARLY THIS MORNING WILL MOVE EAST TODAY REACHING CENTRAL NEW YORK AROUND MID DAY...AND THEN PUSHING THROUGH EASTERN NEW YORK AND ADJACENT WESTERN NEW ENGLAND EARLY THIS EVENING. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT...AND SOME OF THE THUNDERSTORMS MAY PRODUCE DAMAGING WINDS...HEAVY RAIN AND HAIL. HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD INTO OUR REGION LATER TONIGHT AND LAST THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING GIVING US DRY AND SEASONABLE CONDITIONS. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... AS OF 1002 AM...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH CONTINUES FOR NORTH HALF OF CWA. DESPITE SOME IMPRESSIVE RADAR REFLECTIVITY SIGNATURES...SEVERE WEATHER HAS BEEN LACKING ACROSS WATCH AREA THIS MORNING. FOR THE MOST PART...ENVIRONMENT IS FAIRLY STABLE. LAPS DATA SHOWED SFC BASED CAPE ONLY AROUND 200 J/KG WITH SEVERE REPORTS EARLIER. ELEVATED INSTABILITY NOT TOO IMPRESSIVE EITHER WITH SHOWALTER OFF MORNING ALBANY SOUNDING ONLY -0.65C. WATCH IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 1 PM. CONVECTION IS INITIATING ACROSS CENTRAL NY ALONG COLD FRONT. HI RES RUC...WHICH DEPICTED THIS BOUT OF MORNING CONVECTION FAIRLY WELL...SUGGESTS MORE TO COME LATER THIS AFTERNOON. SEVERE POTENTIAL WILL BE DEPENDENT ON GETTING RID OF EXTENSIVE STRATUS THAT COVERS MUCH OF CWA NOW. THINKING IS THAT THE STRATUS WILL ERODE SUFFICIENTLY INTO THE AFTERNOON TO ALLOW CONVECTION TO INITIATE. WITH WIND FIELD INCREASING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON...SEVERE WEATHER THREAT CONTINUES. SO GIVEN THESE FACTORS...PLAN TO HOLD ONTO TO WATCH 618 UNTIL FRONT CLEARS...WITH POTENTIAL FOR NEW WATCH TO SOUTH AND EAST...AGAIN DEPENDENT ON DEGREE OF CLEARING. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR. NO CHANGES TO FORECAST OR GRIDS NOW. ANY LINGERING CONVECTION SHOULD END EARLY THIS EVENING AND DO NOT EXPECT THUNDERSTORMS TO LINGER PAST 00Z. HAVE JUST A SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE OF SHOWERS THIS EVENING BETWEEN 00Z AND 04Z MAINLY EAST OF THE HUDSON RIVER AND DRY WEST. HIGH PRESSURE WILL START TO BUILD INTO THE REGION LATER TONIGHT AND WITH DIMINISHING WINDS AND A CLEARING SKY EXPECT THE MAIN CONCERN LATER TONIGHT WILL BE FOG WHICH COULD BE LOCALLY DENSE ESPECIALLY IN AREAS WHICH RECEIVE SIGNIFICANT RAIN ON MONDAY. LOWS TONIGHT ARE EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM THE UPPER 40S NORTHWEST TO LOWER 60S SOUTHEAST. && .SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD INTO FA ON TUESDAY AND CREST ACROSS OUR REGION TUESDAY NIGHT BEFORE MOVING OFF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST ON WEDNESDAY. EXPECT THAT DRY WEATHER WILL HOLD FOR TUESDAY THROUGH THE FIRST PART OF WEDNESDAY...HOWEVER WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON LOOKS MORE UNCERTAIN ESPECIALLY FOR THE SOUTHEAST THIRD OF FA AS AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE STARTS TO TRACK NORTHEAST FROM THE CAROLINAS. EXPECT MOSTLY SUNNY CONDITIONS FOR MUCH OF FA ON TUESDAY...EXCEPT PARTLY SUNNY ACROSS THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS WHERE MORE INSTABILITY CUMULUS LIKELY. CLEAR TO PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES ON TUESDAY NIGHT AND THEN SOME INCREASING MID AND HIGH CLOUDS ON WEDNESDAY WHICH WILL LIKELY KEEP TEMPS ON WEDNESDAY A FEW DEGREES COOLER THAN TUESDAY. HAVE ALSO PLACED SLIGHT CHANCE TO LOW CHANCE POPS ACROSS FAR SOUTHEAST CORNER OF FA AS A FEW SHOWERS MAY MOVE INTO THIS AREAS IN ADVANCE OF LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM. EXPECT HIGH ON TUESDAY IN THE UPPER 70S TO UPPER 80S...LOWS TUESDAY NIGHT IN THE UPPER 40S TO AROUND 60...AND HIGHS ON WEDNESDAY IN THE MID 70S TO MID 80S. && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/... THE EXTENDED BEGINS WITH A STALLED OUT FRONTAL BOUNDARY SOUTH OF THE FCST AREA OVER THE MID ATLANTIC REGION...AND SOUTH OF THE SRN NEW ENGLAND COAST. THE 00Z GUIDANCE INCLUDING THE GFS...CANADIAN GGEM...AND EVEN THE ECMWF HAVE TRENDED FURTHER SOUTH WITH THE MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH FORMER TD NUMBER 5. A WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE MOVING ALONG THE BAROCLINIC ZONE WOULD STAY SOUTH OF THE REGION ACCORDING TO THE GFS AND CANADIAN GGEM. THE ECMWF STAYED FAR ENOUGH NORTH TO KEEP CHC POPS IN WED NIGHT INTO THU. WE DID NOT WANT TO DEVIATE FROM PERSISTENCE...18Z HPC DATA...AND THE GLOBAL ENSEMBLES BY BUYING INTO THE SOUTHERN TRACK YET FOR THU. WE KEPT CHC POPS THROUGH THE DAY UNTIL THIS TREND CONTINUES A FEW MORE CYCLES. THU NIGHT INTO FRI...A NRN STREAM SHORTWAVE TROUGH ARRIVES FROM SOUTHEASTERN CANADA AND THE ERN GREAT LAKES REGION. THE TIMING VARIES ON THE FRONTAL PASSAGE WITH THE TROUGH AMONG THE MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE. THE CANADIAN GGEM AND GFS ARE A BIT FASTER THAN THE ECMWF. THE MOISTURE IS LIMITED WITH THE BOUNDARY...AND THE INSTABILITY LOOKS MEAGER. WE KEPT A SLIGHT CHC OF SHOWERS AND TSRAS FROM THE CAPITAL REGION SOUTH...AND LOW CHC VALUES TO THE NORTH. THE BEST FORCING AND DYNAMICS STAY NORTH AND EAST OF THE REGION. FRI NIGHT THRU THE WEEKEND...THE LATEST GFS LOOKS LIKE AN OUTLIER COMPARED THE CANADIAN GGEM/ECMWF/ENSEMBLES FOR THE STRETCH. IT HAS A CLOSED LOW IN A PROGRESSIVE MID LEVEL TROUGH QUICKLY APPROACH FROM THE UPPER MS RIVER VALLEY FRI NIGHT INTO SATURDAY WITH VERY UNSETTLED WX FOR THE WEEKEND. THE ECMWF/CANADIAN GGEM/HPC GRAPHICS SHOW LOW AND MID LEVEL RIDGING SETTING UP OVER THE NORTHEAST TO OPEN THE WEEKEND WITH FAIR AND DRY WX...WHILE A SFC WAVE AND ITS ASSOCIATED UPPER LEVEL TROUGH BRING A THREAT OF SHOWERS/ISOLD TSRAS ON SUNDAY. WE STUCK CLOSE TO HPC WITH A DRY START TO THE WEEKEND WITH SOME UNSETTLED WX TO CLOSE IT. TEMPS LOOK SEASONABLE FOR THE LONG TERM WITH HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE U70S TO L80S IN THE VALLEYS...AND LOWER TO M70S OVER THE MTNS. LOWS WILL GENERALLY BE IN THE M50S TO L60S IN THE VALLEYS...AND U40S TO M50S IN THE MTNS. THE WARMEST DAY OF THE EXTENDED LOOKS TO BE ON FRI WITH H850 TEMPS OF 16 TO 18 C AND GOOD MIXING WITH A FRONTAL PASSAGE COULD YIELD AT LEAST SOME MID 80S SOUTH OF THE CAPITAL REGION. && .AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... SHOWERS DECREASING IN COVERAGE THIS AFTERNOON FOLLOWED BY DECREASING CLOUD COVER AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH EASTERN NEW YORK AND WESTERN NEW ENGLAND. MVFR CIGS WILL CONTINUE TO AFFECT ALL THREE TERMINALS...WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON. CIGS IMPROVING TO MVFR LATE THIS AFTERNOON. HAVE INCLUDED VCSH AND CB AT ALL TERMINALS THROUGH SUNSET. MOISTURE FROM TODAYS PRECIP COMBINED WITH CLEARING SKIES OVERNIGHT WILL ALLOW BR/FG TO DEVELOP...RESULTING IN MVFR VSBYS AFTER MIDNIGHT. KGFL WILL FURTHER DETERIORATE TO IFR CONDITIONS AROUND 09Z. CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE TO VFR AT ALL TERMINALS AFTER SUNRISE. SOUTHERLY WINDS AT 7-12 KTS WILL SHIFT MORE SOUTHWEST THIS AFTERNOON. WIND GUSTS EXPECTED AT KALB UP TO 20 KTS. OVERNIGHT WINDS WILL SUBSIDE TO LIGHT OR NEAR CALM CONDITIONS. TUESDAY MORNING WINDS WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST...SHIFTING WEST. OUTLOOK... MON NT-WED NT...VFR...NO SIG WX. THU...VFR/MVFR...SLGT CHC-CHC -SHRA. FRI...VFR/MVFR...SLGT CHC -SHRA/-TSRA. SAT...VFR...NO SIG WX. && .FIRE WEATHER... A COLD FRONT IN THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES EARLY THIS MORNING WILL MOVE EAST TODAY REACHING CENTRAL NEW YORK AROUND MID DAY...AND THEN PUSHING THROUGH EASTERN NEW YORK AND ADJACENT WESTERN NEW ENGLAND EARLY THIS EVENING. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT...AND SOME OF THE THUNDERSTORMS MAY PRODUCE GUSTY WINDS...HEAVY RAIN AND HAIL. HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD INTO OUR REGION LATER TONIGHT AND LAST THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING GIVING US DRY AND SEASONABLE CONDITIONS. RELATIVE HUMIDITIES WILL ONLY DROP TO 50 TO 75 PERCENT TODAY...INCREASE TO 90 TO 100 PERCENT TONIGHT AND DROP TO 30 TO 45 PERCENT TUESDAY AFTERNOON. WINDS WILL BE SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST AT 10 TO 15 MPH TODAY WITH HIGHER GUSTS IN THUNDERSTORMS...WEST TO SOUTHWEST AT 5 TO 10 MPH THIS EVENING BECOMING LIGHT AND VARIABLE OVERNIGHT...AND WEST TO SOUTHWEST AT 5 TO 15 MPH ON TUESDAY WITH GUSTS UP TO 25 MPH ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN. && .HYDROLOGY... A COLD FRONT IN THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES EARLY THIS MORNING WILL MOVE EAST TODAY REACHING CENTRAL NEW YORK AROUND MID DAY...AND THEN PUSHING THROUGH EASTERN NEW YORK AND ADJACENT WESTERN NEW ENGLAND EARLY THIS EVENING. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT. SOME OF THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS COULD CONTAIN HEAVY RAIN...CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LOCALIZED RAINFALL OF ONE TO TWO INCHES THIS AFTERNOON. THIS WOULD RESULT IN PONDING OF WATER ON ROADWAYS AND IN POOR DRAINAGE AREAS AND SHARP RISES ON SMALL CREEKS. HOWEVER...AVERAGE RAINFALL AMOUNTS WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL BE A QUARTER TO A HALF INCH...SO MAINSTREAM RIVERS WILL LIKELY SEE LITTLE IN THE WAY OF RISES. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY...WITH DRY WEATHER THROUGH MOST OF WEDNESDAY.
