NWS Albany, NY wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 5, 12:55 PM EST, 10 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY 155 PM EDT SAT JUN 5 2010 .SYNOPSIS... A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL REMAIN STALLED OVER OUR REGION INTO THE FIRST HALF OF TODAY. LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE INTO THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES REGION DRAGGING A PRE FRONTAL TROUGH AND THEN A COLD FRONT THROUGH OUR REGION BY EVENING. THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL THEN DROP SOUTH AND STALL JUST SOUTH OF OUR REGION LATE SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY. ANOTHER STRONGER LOW PRESSURE RIDING ALONG IT WILL BRING MORE RAIN TO THE REGION SUNDAY...SOME OF IT HEAVY FROM ALBANY SOUTH. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... AS OF 1125 AM...MESOSCALE ANALYSIS REVEALS SURFACE CONVERGENCE IS INCREASING JUST DOWNSTREAM OF LAKE ONTARIO /LAKE SHADOW AND SPEED CONVERGENCE/ PER LAPS/SPC/RUC13 HOURLY ANALYSIS. INSTABILITY PARAMETERS ARE ALSO ON THE INCREASE WITH SBCAPES BETWEEN 1K-2K J/KG AND WITH UPPER JET APPROACHING...SHEAR PROFILES ARE BECOMING MORE FAVORABLE FOR CONVECTION TO BECOME SOMEWHAT ORGANIZED. ACCAS SEEMS TO BE MORE EVIDENT PER THE LATEST 1KM VISIBLE IMAGERY AND RADAR RETURNS ACROSS THE WESTERN MOHAWK VALLEY WHICH MIGHT BE THE START TO THE CONVECTION. DOWNSTREAM...WINDS REMAIN SOUTHERLY ACROSS THE HUDSON RIVER VALLEY WHERE EHI/S ARE NOW CLOSE TO 2 M2/S2 AND FORECAST TO INCREASE THIS AFTERNOON. ALL OF THESE PARAMETERS MAY INDICATE SUPERCELL DEVELOPMENT BUT TORNADO POTENTIAL DOES LOOK RATHER LOW GIVEN LCL HEIGHTS AROUND 1K AGL. IN FACT...HRRR 1KM WRF REFLECTIVITY SUGGESTS A SCT LINE OF CONVECTION ACROSS THE MOHAWK THEN TRACK INTO THE MID-LOWER HUDSON VALLEY WITH INCREASE SURFACE CONVERGENCE BEFORE ENTERING INTO NEW ENGLAND LATER THIS AFTERNOON. AS OF 930AM...AFTER COLLABORATION WITH SPC...WE WILL DO AN 18Z SOUNDING TODAY. CONVECTIVE TRENDS LOOK ACTIVE FOR TODAY AS MAIN SURFACE FRONT REMAINED UPSTREAM OVER LOWER ONTARIO. ATMOSPHERE AHEAD OF THIS BOUNDARY WAS BECOMING QUITE UNSTABLE PER THE HOURLY LAPS AND SPC MESOSCALE ANALYSIS WITH DEWPOINTS INTO THE MIDDLE 60S. WHEN MODIFYING OUR 12Z SOUNDING WITH A SURFACE PARCEL OF 82/66...YIELD CAPES CLOSE TO 2500 J/KG WITH HEALTHY CAPE DENSITY PROFILE. H2O VAPOR LOOP REVEALS A SHORT WAVE WAS PROGRESSING OVER THE CAPITAL REGION WITH ANOTHER FAST MOVING WAVE COMING FROM SOUTHEAST LOWER MICHIGAN. IN ADDITION...UPPER JET DYNAMICS ARE BECOMING MORE FAVORABLE FOR ENHANCED LIFT ACROSS CENTRAL NY. EXPERIMENTAL HRRR REFLECTIVITY FORECASTS SUGGEST THE POTENTIAL FOR SUPERCELL DEVELOPMENT ACROSS THE MOHAWK VALLEY AND THEN BECOMING ENHANCED ACROSS THE MOHAWK/HUDSON WHERE EHI/S ARE FORECAST TO BE BETWEEN 2-5 M2/S2 WITH THE HIGHEST VALUES ACROSS THE MID HUDSON VALLEY AND NW CT. THIS REGION MAY BE UPGRADED A CATEGORY PER COORDINATION WITH SPC. FORECAST UPDATE REFLECTS A CHANGE IN POP WITH THE INITIAL CONCENTRATION ACROSS THE DACKS AND WESTERN MOHAWK VALLEY...THEN INCREASE THE POPS DOWNSTREAM WHILE DECREASING THOSE VALUES ACROSS THE AFOREMENTIONED REGION THIS AFTERNOON. TEMPS ARE IN EXCELLENT SHAPE WITH NO CHANGES AT THIS TIME. PREV DISCUSSIONS... EARLY UPDATE TO LOWER POPS AND REMOVE MORNING ENHANCED WORDING OF ANY KIND. AS OF 645 AM...THE MCS THAT IMPACTED MUCH OF OUR REGION EARLIER...HAD WEAKEN CONSIDERABLY (CLOUD TOPS WARMING SLIGHTLY) AS WELL AS MOVING AWAY FROM THE REGION. MCS TYPICALLY REACH THEIR PEAK JUST BEFORE DAWN...THEN WEAKEN AS MIXING WEAKENS THE LOW LEVEL JET WHICH IN TURN WEAKENS FORCING. WHILE WE CANNOT RULE OUT AN ADDITIONAL STRAY SHOWER OR STORM...ANY THAT FORM THE REST OF MORNING SHOULD BE SUB-SEVERE. THE GFS POPS ACTUALLY LOWER DURING THE AFTERNOON. HOWEVER THE 06Z NAM DID INDICATES A SECOND LINE OF CONVECTION DEVELOPING AND MOVING THROUGH. WHILE PCPN AMOUNTS ARE NOT AS HIGH AS WITH THIS THE MORNING MCS...WE FEEL IT WAS STILL PRUDENT TO GO WITH AT LEAST LOW POPS THIS AFTERNOON...ALONG WITH THE ENHANCED WORDING (SMALL HAIL AND GUSTY WINDS). OF COURSE...ADJUSTED HOURLY TEMPS/DEWPOINTS ETC. ***PREVIOUS NEAR TERM DISCUSSION***** AS OF 400 AM...UNSETTLED OVERNIGHT UNFOLDING AS A LARGE AREA OF THUNDERSTORMS...AN MCS...WORKS INTO OUR REGION...MAINLY NORTH OF ALBANY...WITH HEAVY RAIN AND FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING. SOME OF THE STORMS (NOT IN OUR AREA) HAVE PULSED TO STRONG LIMITS WITH VILS IN THE 40S AND THE 50 DBZ TO ABOUT THE 26,000 FEET LEVEL. SBCAPES ARE LIMITED BUT ELEVATED INSTABILITY IS THERE...ALONG WITH INCREASED MOISTURE CONVERGENCE AND ENOUGH OF A SHORT WAVE...WHEN COMBINED WITH A PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH...IS ENOUGH TO TOUCH OFF THESE STORMS. PWAT VALUES HAVE SHOT UP TO 1.5 INCHES...WELL ABOVE NORMAL...AND AS A RESULT...THE STORMS WILL LIKELY CONTAIN HEAVY TO LOCALLY TORRENTIAL RAIN. THE STORMS MIGHT EVEN BACKBUILD A BIT AS THEY ARE LINING UP THE FLOW ALOFT. THE 00Z SPC WRF APPEARS TO HAVE INITIALLY UNDERDONE THE ONGOING CONVECTION IN OUR REGION...BUT IT TAKES FAIRLY QUICKLY TO OUR EAST WITH THE PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH LATER THIS MORNING. THEN...THE REAL COLD FRONT...IS FORECAST TO MOVE THROUGH DURING THE AFTERNOON. THERE ARE STILL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE 00Z GFS AND 00Z NAM. THE GFS IS STILL MORE PROGRESSIVE AND QUICKER TO DRY US OUT THIS AFTERNOON WITH THE NAM INDICATING A DISTINCT SECOND ROUND OF BROKEN CONVECTION. THE 00Z WRF DOES ALSO INDICATED A BROKEN LINE OF CONVECTION. THIS SECOND LINE OF CONVECTION COULD PROVE TO BE MORE INTERESTING AS SBCAPES WILL BE HIGHER (1500 J/KG) OR HIGHER. THE LOW LEVEL SHEAR BECOMES MORE FAVORABLE FOR SUPERCELL DEVELOPMENT AS THE SURFACE WIND SSE BECOMES QUICKLY TURNS TO THE WNW WITH HEIGHT WITH VALUES APPROACHING 50KTS AT 10,000 FEET. ANY SUPERCELL COULD "BOW OUT" PRODUCING STRONG TO DAMAGING WINDS. SINCE THE WET BULB ZERO IS NOW FORECAST TO LOWER TO 10,000 FEET BY AFTERNOON WE WILL ADD SMALL HAIL TO THE ENHANCED WORDING. THIS FOLLOWS SPC IDEA WHICH PUTS OUR ENTIRE AREA IN SLIGHT RISK TODAY. THE DAY CREW WILL MONITOR THE SITUATION AND INCREASE THE ENHANCED WORDING IF THEY SEE REASONABLE EVIDENCE INCREASING CHANCES OF STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS. HIGH TEMPS THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE DETERMINED BY HOW MUCH SUNSHINE OUR AREA RECEIVES. WE FEEL THERE WILL BE SOME SUNNY BREAKS BASED ON UPSTREAM OBS. THEREFORE...WE WENT A TOUCH HIGHER THAN THE MET/MAV GUIDANCE TODAY...WHICH IS VERY CLOSE TO WHAT WAS ADVERTISED EARLIER. LOOK FOR HIGH TEMPS IN THE WELL INTO THE 80S IN THE MID HUDSON VALLEY...75 TO AROUND 80 HIGHER TERRAIN...EXCEPT 70-75 HIGHEST PEAKS IN THE DACKS. && .SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/... WE WILL KEEP LOW CHANCES (30 POP) FOR EARLY EVENING ACTIVITY AS THE LINE OF SHOWERS MIGHT BE CLEARING ESPECIALLY OUR WESTERN ZONES...AND ADDITIONAL CELLS POPPING UP CANNOT BE ENTIRELY RULED TO THE WEST. HOWEVER...AFTER 00Z WE LOOK TO HAVE A BRIEF BREAK IN THE ACTION AS SLIGHTLY DRIER BRIEFLY MOVES IN...AND THE FRONT STALL JUST TO OUR SOUTH...OR PERHAPS NEAR THE I-84 CORRIDOR. THEN...THE NEXT SHORT WAVE...ALREADY EVIDENT OVER THE NATION/S MID SECTION...WILL RACE EAST...PROPELLED BY THE RIGHT REAR ENTRANCE REGION OF A NEARLY 100KT JET H250MB JET...AND APPROACHING NOSE OF 50KT+ H850 JET. STRONG ISENTROPIC LIFT WILL ENSUE...AND IT LOOKS AS IF A SOAKING RAIN WILL OVERSPREAD THE REGION...MAINLY FROM ALBANY SOUTH. THERE IS MORE CONSISTENCY BETWEEN THE 00Z GFS AND 00Z ECMWF WITH THIS FEATURE. THE 00Z NAM HAD IT TOO...BUT IS ABOUT 12 HOURS SLOWER. (THE 06Z NAM IS TRENDING FASTER WITH RAIN AND TRENDS FURTHER SOUTH WITH THE LOW). SINCE THE 00Z NAM IS OFTEN BEST IN THE SHORT TERM (24 HOURS OR LESS) AND THE OTHER TWO MODELS BRING THE RAIN IN FASTER...WILL LEAN MORE WITH THEIR SOLUTION. EITHER WAY...BY SUNDAY MORNING...RAIN ...HEAVY AT TIMES...WILL LIKELY IMPACT MUCH OF OUR REGION. FOR MORE ON RAINFALL AMOUNTS AND EFFECTS...PLEASE REFER TO OUR HYDROLOGY SECTION. UNFORTUNATELY...THERE IS STILL ENOUGH OF A DISCREPANCY IN THE ULTIMATE TRACK OF THE STORM ON SUNDAY THAT COULD IMPACT WHETHER OR NOT THERE COULD BE SEVERE CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM. THE ECMWF TRACKS THE STORM FURTHER SOUTH AND INDICATES LESS IN THE WAY OF POTENTIALLY SEVERE WEATHER (BUT THUNDER STILL POSSIBLE DUE TO ELEVATED INSTABILITY). THE 00Z NAM SUPPORTED THE ECMWF...BUT JUST A LITTLE FURTHER NORTH (BUT AGAIN THE 06Z WAS FURTHER SOUTH). THE 00Z GFS ON THE OTHER HAND...TRACKED THE STORM FURTHER NORTH...WITH ITS CENTER JUST PASSING NORTH OR RIGHT OVER KALB. IF THAT WERE TO HAPPEN...OUR SOUTHERN AREAS COULD GET INTO THE WARM AIR SECTOR. LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR WOULD BE IMPRESSIVE...ALONG WITH INSTABILITY SO THAT ANY STORM THAT FORMED COULD BECOME A SUPERCELL...SUPPORTING IMPRESSIVE ROTATION. AN ISOLATED TORNADO WOULD EVEN BE POSSIBLE...BUT AGAIN...ONLY IN THE SOUTHERN AREAS...IF THEY PUNCH INTO THE WARM CORE. FOR NOW...WILL CONTINUE TO LEAN WITH THE MORE SOUTHERN TRACK. WILL CERTAINLY MENTION THE POSSIBILITY OF THUNDER. KEEP IN MIND OUR SOUTHERN AREAS IS UNDER SLIGHT RISK. FOR NOW...NO ENHANCED WORDING PLANNED EXCEPT FOR HEAVY RAIN. WE JUST FEEL THE THREAT IS NOT QUITE HIGH ENOUGH TO MENTION IN THE ZONES. OF COURSE HIGH TEMPS ARE ONCE AGAIN DIFFERENT BETWEEN THE NAM AND MAV. THIS TIME YESTERDAY...THE MAV ADVERTISED THE COOLER TEMPS AND NOW THE MET DOES. FOR NOW...WENT WITH THE BLEND SINCE THE TRACK IS STILL IN PLAY. EITHER WAY...IT LOOKS LIKE A WET COOLER DAY WITH TEMPS AROUND 70 LOCALLY...60S NORTH...70S TO AROUND 80 SOUTH. SUNDAY NIGHT...ALL THE MODELS HAVE THE WAVE DEPARTING TO OUR EAST. IN ITS WAKE...NOTICEABLY COOLER AIR WILL BE USHERED IN FROM CANADA SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY. H850 TEMPS OFF THE GFS DROP TO ABOUT +1C ACROSS MOST OF OUR CWA! AS USUAL...WE SUSPECT THE GFS IS TOO COOL...AS THE EUROPEAN ONLY COOLS TO ABOUT +5C. EITHER WAY...NOTICEABLY COOLER AIR WILL MOVE IN FOR MONDAY...ALONG WITH A GUSTY BREEZE. WITH A CONTINUED CYCLONIC FLOW...SOME LINGERING CLOUDS ARE POSSIBLE IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN. WITH GOOD LEVEL INSTABILITY...EVEN INCLUDED A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN MONDAY AFTERNOON. OVERNIGHT LOWS SUNDAY NIGHT WILL DROP TO BETWEEN 45-50 DEGREES...EXCEPT 40-45 HIGHER TERRAIN WITH A FEW PLACES. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... BY MONDAY MORNING...H850 TEMPS OFF THE GFS DROP TO ABOUT +1C ACROSS MOST OF OUR CWA! AS USUAL...WE SUSPECT THE GFS IS TOO COOL...AS THE EUROPEAN ONLY COOLS TO ABOUT +5C. EITHER WAY...NOTICEABLY COOLER AIR WILL MOVE IN FOR MONDAY...ALONG WITH A GUSTY BREEZE. WITH A CONTINUED CYCLONIC FLOW...SOME LINGERING CLOUDS ARE POSSIBLE IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN. WITH GOOD LEVEL INSTABILITY...EVEN INCLUDED A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN MONDAY AFTERNOON. CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE LOOKS TO SLOWLY BUILD IN FOR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...KEEPING TEMPS A LITTLE BELOW NORMAL BUT WITH INCREASING SUNSHINE...THEY WILL MODERATE SOME...BUT NOT BEFORE A CHILLY MIGHT MONDAY INTO TUESDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL DROP TO 45-50 MOST PLACES...40-45 NORTH AND WEST OF ALBANY. SOME OF THE SHELTERED VALLEYS OF THE DACKS AND GREENS COULD DIP TO THE MID 30S...WHICH WOULD PROMOTE FROST. TOO EARLY TO MENTION IN OUR HWO BUT SOMETHING TO KEEP ON EYE IN THE NEXT COUPE OF DAYS. BY THURSDAY...AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES OFF SHORE...A WARM FRONT WILL LIKELY APPROACH WITH SOME SHOWERS. THE ECMWF AND GFS PART WAYS A LITTLE...AS THE GFS ATTEMPTS TO BUILD A RIDGE BACK OVER THE REGION. THE ECMWF KEEP A MORE ZONAL FLOW IN TACT...WHICH WOULD PREVENT SUCH A WARMUP...TEMPS RETURNING PERHAPS TO NORMAL. FOR NOW...SPLIT THE DIFFERENCE AND ALLOW FOR TEMPS TO BE A LITTLE ABOVE NORMAL BY FRIDAY. && .AVIATION /18Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... CONVECTION ALREADY UNDERWAY THIS AFTERNOON...EXPECTED TO CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING. HAVE INCLUDED VCSH AND CB IMMEDIATELY AND VCTS STARTING AT 19Z/20Z AT ALL TERMINALS. THESE STORMS WILL CONTAIN GUSTY WINDS...HAIL AND HEAVY RAIN. CONVECTION EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY SUBSIDE AFTER SUNSET...WITH ONLY VCSH EXPECTED AFTER 03Z. EARLY MORNING WILL BRING WIDESPREAD MVFR CONDITIONS TO THE TAF SITES BETWEEN 09Z AND 10Z AS SHOWERS AND POSSIBLE TSTMS RETURN TO THE REGION AHEAD OF THE NEXT LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM. HAVE INCLUDED CB AT ALL TERMINALS WITH MVFR CONDITIONS BY 10Z. OUTLOOK... SUN AM...MAINLY MVFR/IFR IN SHRA/POSSIBLE TSRA. SUN AFTN/EVE...VFR...W/CHC IFR/MVFR IN SHRA/TSRA MAINLY POU. SUN NGT-TUE...VFR...XCP LATE NGT MVFR/IFR FOG PSBL. WED...VFR...NO SIG WX. THU...VFR...CHC -SHRA. && .FIRE WEATHER... SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL BRING WELL OVER A QUARTER INCH OF RAINFALL TO MUCH OF THE REGION THIS MORNING. MORE SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON. THEN...AFTER A BREAK IN THE ACTION THIS EVENING...A SOAKING RAIN WILL BRING WET FLAG CONDITIONS TO MUCH OF THE REGION...ESPECIALLY ALBANY SOUTHWARD...LATE TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY. THE COMBINATION OF THE RAIN EVENTS WILL LIKELY KNOCK THE KDI VALUES DOWN QUITE A BIT. RH VALUES WILL DROP TO 40-50 PERCENT THIS AFTERNOON...NEARLY 100 PERCENT TONIGHT AND REMAIN HIGH ON SUNDAY. DRIER WEATHER WILL RETURN ON MONDAY WITH A FRESH WEST TO NORTHWEST BREEZE 10 TO 20 MPH. && .HYDROLOGY... IMPRESSIVE RAINFALL COURTESY OF A NOCTURNAL MCS...WITH RADAR INDICATED RAINFALL AMOUNTS OVER AN INCH IN HERKIMER COUNTY THUS FAR. SOME AREAS NORTH OF ALBANY WILL LIKELY SEE UP TO LOCALLY TWO INCHES OF RAIN BY THE TIME THIS MCS MOVES TO OUR EAST LATER THIS MORNING. THIS RAINFALL WILL CERTAINLY CAUSE SOME PONDING OF WATER IN AREA OF POOR DRAINAGE BUT WILL LIKELY NOT HAVE MUCH AFFECT ON RIVERS AND MOST STREAMS. MORE SHOWERS AND STORMS MIGHT FIRE UP THIS AFTERNOON AND ONCE AGAIN CONTAIN HEAVY RAIN. HOWEVER...ANY RAINFALL OF AN INCH OR MORE SHOULD BE EXTREMELY LOCALIZED WITH THE MAIN EFFECT FROM A HYDROLOGICAL POINT OF VIEW...TO BE PONDING OF WATER AND OR MINOR FLOODING IN AREAS OF POOR DRAINAGE. HOWEVER...A MUCH MORE WIDESPREAD SOAKING RAIN IS LIKELY LATER OVERNIGHT TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY. MOST MODELS TAKE THE AXIS OF HEAVY RAINFALL...ASSOCIATED WITH PWAT VALUES OVER 2 INCHES...AND STRONG ISENTROPIC LIFT...MAINLY FROM ALBANY SOUTH. THE POTENTIAL IS THERE FOR TWO OR EVEN MORE INCHES OF RAIN WITH THIS SYSTEM. IF IT WERE TO MATERIALIZE...THIS RAIN WOULD PRODUCE SIGNIFICANT RISES ON STREAMS AND EVENTUALLY RIVERS. BOTH LEVELS ARE LOW SO UNLESS THE VALUES INCREASE TO 3 OR MORE INCHES...RIVER FLOODING IS NOT LIKELY. HOWEVER...IT IS POSSIBLE THAT RAINFALL AMOUNTS COULD BE EVEN HEAVIER...AS ONE SREF MEMBER FROM THE 09Z CLUSTER INDICATED OVER 3 INCHES AT KALB! (THE MREFS WERE NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME). THIS SYSTEM WILL EXIT ON MONDAY...AND MAINLY DRY WEATHER IS EXPECTED THROUGH WEDNESDAY...WHICH WOULD ALLOW ANY ELEVATED STREAMS AND RIVERS TO QUICKLY RECEDE TO NORMAL LEVELS. && .ALY WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
