CORE OF THE LOW LEVEL JET REMAINS WELL BEHIND THE FRONT WITH
50+KTS ARRIVING THIS EVENING. THE H7 STEERING WINDS INCREASE TO 35
TO 45 KTS BY 18Z JUST AHEAD OF THE FRONT AND EXPECT THAT STORMS
WILL GENERALLY MOVE FROM WEST SOUTHWEST TO EAST NORTHEAST AT 40 TO
50 MPH. UPPER LEVEL JET OF 115+KTS WHILE REMAINING FAR NORTHWEST
OF FA ACRS UPPER GREAT LAKES HAS CYCLONIC CURVATURE WHICH WOULD
IMPLY FAIRLY GOOD UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE ACRS FA. PWATS ARE ALSO
HIGH AHEAD OF THE FRONT BTWN 1.50 AND 1.75 INCHES...THUS ANY

.HYDROLOGY...
THE SCHROON RIVER CONTINUES ABOVE FLOOD STAGE BETWEEN SCHROON LAKE
AND THE HUDSON RIVER. IT WAS ABOUT 5 INCHES ABOVE ITS 7 FOOT FLOOD
STAGE AT RIVERBANK...NEAR WARRENSBURG...AROUND MIDNIGHT TUESDAY
NIGHT...AND RECEDING ABOUT AN INCH EVERY SIX HOURS. IT WILL LIKELY
DROP BELOW FLOOD SHORTLY BEFORE DAYBREAK THURSDAY.
LAKE CHAMPLAIN ALSO CONTINUES ABOVE ITS FLOOD ELEVATION. PLEASE
REFER TO STATEMENTS FROM OUR OFFICE IN BURLINGTON VT FOR DETAILS
ON LAKE CHAMPLAIN.
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY AFFECT THE REGION STARTING
AROUND DAYBREAK TODAY...AND ARE LIKELY TO CONTINUE THROUGH MID
TO LATE AFTERNOON. PRECIPITABLE WATER AMOUNTS AHEAD OF THE FRONT
ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN THE 1.5 TO 1.75 INCH RANGE SO THERE IS
POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY DOWNPOURS TYPICAL OF SUMMER THUNDERSTORMS.
WIND ALOFT SUGGEST STORMS WILL MOVE IN A SOUTH SOUTHWEST TO EAST
NORTHEAST DIRECTION AROUND 40 TO 50 MPH...BUT COULD ALSO TRAIN
WHICH WOULD RESULT IN BANDS OF HEAVY RAIN WHICH COULD CAUSE
PONDING ON PAVED SURFACES AND SHARP RISES ON SMALLER STREAMS.
WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAIN IS NOT EXPECTED AND THERE WILL BE MUCH LESS
RESPONSE ON THE LARGER RIVERS.
HIGH PRESSURE MOVING IN BEHIND THE FRONT SHOULD THEN RESULT IN
DRY WEATHER UNTIL THE WEEKEND WHEN ANOTHER SYSTEM MOVING THROUGH
THE REGION WILL AGAIN RESULT IN A POSSIBILITY OF MORE SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS.
