AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BINGHAMTON NY 806 AM EDT SUN JUN 6 2010 .SYNOPSIS... A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL BRING WIDESPREAD RAIN SHOWERS TO THE ENTIRE AREA TODAY. AREAS IN THE SOUTHERN TIER...CATSKILLS...AND NORTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA WILL LIKELY SEE THUNDERSTORMS MOVE THROUGH THE AREA. A COLD FRONT WILL PUSH THE ACTIVITY EAST BY THIS EVENING. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... UPDATED AT 805 AM...TORNADO WATCH FOR SRN TIER OF NY AND NE PA TIL 3 PM. PREV BLO... A VERY TRICKY FORECAST TODAY. A LARGE RAIN SHIELD WITH A FEW EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS IS CURRENTLY MOVING OVER THE CWA. WHILE WINDS LOOK IMPRESSIVE AT .5 ELEVATION...SFC OBS SHOW NONE OF THE HIGH WINDS ARE REACHING THE GROUND ATTM AS WE ARE DECOUPLED. EXPECT THIS ACTIVITY TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE EARLY AFTERNOON. ALTHOUGH...WITH DAYTIME HEATING...MIXING WILL OCCUR AND SOME OF THE WINDS MAY BEGIN TO BE BROUGHT DOWN TO THE SFC. MODELS ARE INDICATING SOME INSTABILITY OVER THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE CWA. THE NAM IS...OF COURSE...MUCH MORE UNSTABLE AND HAS MUCH HIGHER CAPE VALUES THEN THE GFS. THE AREA IS OUTLOOKED FOR A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER...HOWEVER...THE RAIN MAY HAMPER THE CHANCES OF THIS OCCURRING. THE AREAS MOST LIKELY TO SEE ANYTHING DEVELOP WILL BE NE PA AND A LINE JUST NORTH OF I88 SOUTH. THE MAIN THREATS WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS WITH THESE STORMS. THIS AREA IS ALSO OUTLOOKED FOR LARGE HAIL AND A LOW POTENTIAL FOR TORNADIC ACTIVITY. LOOKING AT THE NAM SOUNDING FOR AVP...ALTHOUGH THERE WILL BE SOME TURING OF THE WINDS AND SOME SPEED SHEAR...THERE WILL BE A CAP JUST BELOW 700 MB AT 15Z. THE CAP DOES ERODE BY 18Z...BUT THEN THE WINDS ARENT AS FAVORABLE AS THEY BECOME UNIDIRECTIONAL. CONDITIONS WILL BE CLOSELY MONITORED FOR THE INCREASE IN POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER ACROSS THE REGION AS MODELS COULD VERY WELL BE OVER DOING THE CAP. && .SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/... MOST OF THE ACTIVITY FROM TODAY WILL BE ON ITS WAY OUT TO THE EAST AS A COLD FRONT QUICKLY MOVES THROUGH THE AREA. THE BEGINNING OF THE WEEK WILL HAVE HIGH PRESSURE IN PLACE. TEMPS WITH THIS HIGH WILL BE COOLER THEN THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS...WITH HIGHS REACHING INTO THE LOW 70S IN THE SOUTHERN PORTIONS...AND POSSIBLY ONLY INTO THE MID TO UPPER 60S ACROSS THE NORTHERN PORTIONS. LOWS LOOK TO DROP INTO THE 40S. && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... LATEST MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO SUGGEST SOMEWHAT OF AN UNSETTLED END TO NEXT WEEK AS A WAVY FRONTAL SYSTEM EXTENDING THROUGH THE LOWER GTLKS AND MID-ATLANTIC REGIONS INTERACTS WITH FAST MOVING DISTURBANCES IN THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE. HIGH PRESSURE RETREATING EAST OF THE AREA ON WEDNESDAY WILL OPEN THE DOOR FOR THE FIRST OF THE UPPER LEVEL WAVES WITH SHOWERS/POSSIBLE THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FORECAST FOR MAINLY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH THURSDAY. ONCE THIS FEATURE PUSHES THE FRONT TO OUR SOUTH...THU NIGHT AND FRIDAY LOOK RELATIVELY DRY AS RIDGING NOSES IN FROM THE MIDWEST. THE NEXT UPR WAVE APPROACHES THE REGION FRI NITE INTO SATURDAY...LIFTING A WARM FRONT AND ASSOCIATED SHOWERS/TSTMS INTO THE AREA DURING THIS TIME. TEMPERATURES SHOULD AVERAGE NEAR NORMAL FOR MOST OF NEXT WEEK...WITH WARMING ABOVE NORMAL POSSIBLE BEHIND THE WARM FRONT LATE NEXT WEEKEND. REALIZING THIS WARMTH WILL BE DEPENDENT ON EXACT POSITION OF FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND ANY CLOUD DEBRIS FROM AREAS OF STORM ACTIVITY. && .AVIATION /12Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... LOW PRESSURE WILL BE MOVING ACROSS NY LATE THIS MORNING WITH A COLD FRONT SWEEPING EAST DURING THE AFTERNOON. RAIN WITH PREVAILING MVFR RESTRICTIONS...AND POSSIBLE IFR CIGS/VSBYS WILL LAST THROUGH ABOUT 16Z...BEFORE GRADUAL IMPROVEMENT TO VFR OCCURS AFTER 18Z. OVERALL...THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY APPEARS MINIMAL THIS MORNING...HOWEVER A PERIOD OF TSRA MAY AFFECT TERMINAL OPERATIONS AT KAVP...FROM LATE MORNING TO MID AFTERNOON...PRIOR TO COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE. ANY DEVELOPING CELLS IN THIS AREA COULD BE STRONG TO SEVERE. GRADUAL CLEARING IS POSSIBLE TONIGHT...AND DEPENDING ON WHERE ANY DECENT CLEARING OCCURS...THERE IS A CHANCE FOR IFR/MVFR RESTRICTIONS IN FOG BY 06Z...AND CERTAINLY LATER IN THE NIGHT. DUE TO THE FCST TRACK OF THE SFC LOW...WINDS WILL BE CHAOTIC ACROSS THE REGION TODAY. IN GENERAL...KSYR-KRME WILL SEE E-NE WINDS INCREASE THIS MORNING THEN SHIFT NORTHWEST MIDDAY. KITH- KBGM-KELM SHOULD EXPERIENCE E-SELY FLOW...FOLLOWED BY A NW WIND SHIFT FROM MIDDAY-EARLY AFTERNOON. KAVP WILL START OFF PREVAILING SW...BECOMING NW LATE AFTERNOON.

A NWS Survey confirmed a micro-burst, with straight line wind damage near Chittenango. The damage path began near the intersection of Bailey Street and Forbes Avenue just west of the Village of Chittenango. Large trees were snapped halfway up the base, with smaller branches blown down. Some limited damage occurred to a roof, but was likely due to structural problems and not just high winds. The damage path continued northeast through Sullivan Town Park, where several large trees were snapped halfway up the base. A few trees were uprooted. All of the trees pointed toward the northeast.
As the path continued near North Street and Genesee Street, the intensity of the damage increased. Most of the damage was to trees, which were snapped about two-thirds up the base. The most significant damage was structural damage to a church on McDonnell Street, where the westward wall bowed out. Eyewitness reports from the church stated that this occurred when strong winds hit the church, allowing the walls to bow back and forth.
Trees and limbs were blown down.
Strong winds occurred at Gilbert Lake.
Large branches were broken.
