Area forecast discussion, Jul 23, 9:47 AM EST, 3 hours 6 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BINGHAMTON NY 1047 AM EDT MON JUL 23 2012 .SYNOPSIS... A SERIES OF UPPER-LEVEL DISTURBANCES WILL BRING SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TODAY AND TONIGHT. A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION TUESDAY MORNING...WITH DRIER AIR PUSHING IN BEHIND IT FOR WEDNESDAY. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... 1045 AM UPDATE... ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE ACROSS THE AREA LATE THIS MORNING AND HAVE TWEAKED GRIDS TO ACCOUNT FOR LATEST COVERAGE AND LOCATION. MAIN CONCERN WILL BE LATE THIS AFTERNOON WHEN THE SHORT WAVE CURRENTLY MOVING ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES MOVES TO WESTERN NY. WITH PLENTY OF HEATING EXPECTED THROUGH MID-AFTERNOON CAPES SHOULD BE WELL ABOVE 1000 J/KG BY LATE AFTERNOON WITH MODERATELY STRONG WIND FIELDS ALOFT. THIS COULD RESULT IN A ROUND OF SEVERE STORMS LATER THIS AFTERNOON OR THIS EVENING... AND SPC CONCURS WITH A SLIGHT RISK CURRENTLY PAINTED FOR OUR AREA. LATEST HIGH RESOLUTION MODEL RUNS CONTINUE TO INDICATE QUITE A BIT OF UNCERTAINTY WITH TIMING AND PLACEMENT OF CONVECTION LATER TODAY... HOWEVER TIMING OF THE WAVE OVER THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES THIS MORNING WOULD SEEM TO POINT TOWARD A LATE AFTERNOON POTENTIAL STARTING OVER THE FINGER LAKES. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION BELOW. 430 AM UPDATE... WAVES OF SHRA/TSRA CONTINUE TO CROSS CNY/NRN TIER PA ATTM...ASSOCD WITH AN APPROACHING UPR-LVL TROUGH OVER SRN ONT/FAR WRN NY. IT APPEARS THAT THIS TROUGH WILL PUSH E OF THE RGN IN THE 12-15Z TIME FRAME...WITH CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY TEMPORARILY BCMG MORE ISOLD FOR THE LATE AM/EARLY AFTN PD. BY 18-21Z...THE NEXT UPR-LVL WAVE...WELL DEFINED ON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY JUST N OF MN/LK SUPERIOR ATTM...IS PROGGED TO APPROACH UPSTATE NY FROM SRN ONT. THE COMBO OF IMPROVING MID-LVL LR'S WITH THIS FEATURE...ALG WITH DAYTIME HTG/LOW-LVL WAA...SHOULD HELP BOOST ML CAPE VALUES INTO THE 1000-2000 RANGE...SPCLY FOR THE NRN HALF OF THE CWA. ADDITIONALLY...SHEAR PROFILES WILL ALSO BECOME FAVORABLE FOR STG/SVR STORMS...WITH AN 850-900 MB JET MAX OF 40-45 KT CROSSING NY STATE BY EARLY EVE. SPC HAS MUCH OF THE FA OUTLOOKED FOR PSBL SVR...AND THIS SEEMS REASONABLE GIVEN ABV MENTIONED PARAMETERS. WE CONTINUE TO MENTION THE PSBLTY OF SVR WX IN THE HWO LATER TDY. WE HAVE NOT INCLUDED ENHANCED WORDING IN THE GRIDS JUST YET...AS WE'LL WAIT TO SEE HOW THINGS EVOLVE LATER TDY. OUR CURRENT MAX TEMP GRID MATCHES MACHINE GUIDANCE QUITE WELL FOR TDY...SO LTL TO NO CHGS WERE MADE HERE. && .SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... 445 AM UPDATE... AFTER A PSBL ROUND OF STG/SVR STORMS THIS EVE (SPECIFICS MENTIONED ABV)...THINGS SHOULD BEGIN TO QUIET DOWN LATE TNT...AS DRY ADVECTION BEGINS AND THINGS STABILIZE DIURNALLY. POPS WILL BE LOWERED ACCORDINGLY WITH TIME LATE TNT. THE ACTUAL SFC COLD FRNTL BNDRY DOESN'T APPEAR THAT IT WILL CROSS THE AREA COMPLETELY TIL TUE AFTN. FOR THIS REASON...WE HOLD ONTO THE PSBLTY FOR ISOLD SHRA/TSRA THROUGH ABT MIDDAY. VERY PLEASANT WX IS EXPECTED TUE NGT AND WED...AS WEAK HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS ACRS THE NERN STATES...BRINGING REFRESHINGLY LOWER HUMIDITY...AND SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPS. && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/... AFTER A BEAUTIFUL WEDNESDAY...CONDITIONS WILL QUICKLY TAKE A TURN FOR THE WORSE WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY AS THE FIRST OF SEVERAL DISTURBANCES BARE DOWN ON THE REGION. AS HIGHLIGHTED IN RECENT DAYS...A SERIES OF UPPER-LEVEL SHORTWAVES DIVING SOUTHEAST FROM A BUILDING RIDGE ACROSS THE NORTHERN ROCKIES COMBINED WITH A NEARLY STATIONARY UPPER LOW ACROSS NORTHERN QUEBEC WILL RESULT IN A STAGNANT UPPER-LEVEL PATTERN. UNDER THIS SCENARIO...VERY SLOW MOVING SHORTWAVE TROUGHS CUTOFF FROM THE MAIN UPPER-LEVEL WIND FIELDS WILL GRADUALLY MOVE SOUTHWEST TOWARDS OUR REGION IN WEST-NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. FCST MODELS ALL AGREE THAT THE FIRST ROUND OF SHWRS WILL BE UPON US BY 12Z THU AS STRONG L0W-LEVEL JET WINDS OF ROUGHLY 40 KTS ASCEND A NORTHWARD LIFTING WARM FRONT. ADDITIONAL FORCING WILL BE PROVIDED BY STRONG UPPER-LEVEL DIVERGENCE ALOFT AS REGION WILL RESIDE UNDER THE FAVORABLE LEFT ENTRANCE REGION OF AN ANTICYCLONICALLY CURVED JET STREAK ROUNDING THE BASE OF THE AFOREMENTIONED UPPER LOW ACROSS NORTHERN QUEBEC. CURRENTLY MODELS TAKE THE SFC LOW EAST ACROSS WESTERN AND CENTRAL NY THROUGH THE DAY ON THURSDAY...WITH THE HEAVIEST PRECIP AXIS SUGGESTED JUST NORTH OF OUR FCST AREA ACROSS NORTHERN NY AND SOUTHERN ONTARIO. THAT SAID...IF CONDITIONS WORK OUT AS ADVERTISED...MUCH NEEDED RAINFALL WILL OCCUR ACROSS THE NORTHERN FINGER LAKES AND WESTERN MOHAWK VALLEY. BEYOND THIS...THE GFS QUICKLY EXITS THE SFC LOW STAGE RIGHT WHICH WOULD SET UP A TEMPORARY LULL ON FRIDAY IN ADVANCE OF NEXT UPPER SHORTWAVE DISTURBANCE. THE ECMWF ON THE OTHER HAND SUGGEST THE SFC LOW WILL STALL OVER THE REGION WHICH WOULD LEAD TO CONTINUED RAIN CHANCES RIGHT THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. QUICK LOOK AT THE CANADIAN-CMC MODEL FAVORS THE SLOWER SOLUTION AS OFFERED BY THE ECMWF AND THUS WILL KEEP CHC POPS THROUGH FRIDAY. AS MENTIONED ABOVE...NEXT MAJOR TROUGH TO ENTER THE REGION BY SATURDAY WHICH WILL BRING RENEWED CHANCES FOR SHWRS AND STORMS BEFORE CONDITIONS BEGIN TO DRY OUT BY SUNDAY AS UPPER TROUGH PULLS AWAY FROM THE REGION. EXPECT NEAR TO BELOW AVERAGE TEMPS THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH CONTINUED RAIN CHANCES AND ABUNDANT CLOUD COVER ALOFT. && .AVIATION /15Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... SCATTERED SHWRS AND STORMS CURRENTLY MOVING THROUGH THE REGION IN ADVANCE OF AN APPROACHING SHORTWAVE TROUGH. ACTIVITY WILL RAPIDLY COME TO AN END BETWEEN 13 AND 14Z AS MOST CONCENTRATED ACTIVITY PUSHES OFF TO THE EAST. FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE MORNING INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON...EXPECT INCREASING SOUTHWEST WINDS WITH GUSTS LIKELY APPROACHING 0 KTS UNDER A DEVELOPING CU FIELD CENTERED NEAR 4 KFT. BEYOND 21Z...CONDITIONS APPEAR FAVORABLE FOR RENEWED SHWR/STORM DEVELOPMENT AS NEXT UPPER SHORTWAVE AND COLD FRONT APPROACH. WE CURRENTLY EXPECT DEVELOPING SHWRS/STORMS TO FIRST INITIATE ACROSS SOUTHERN CANADA...BEFORE RAPIDLY MOVING SOUTH ACROSS CENTRAL NY TOWARDS 00Z. ANY STORMS THAT DO MOVE OVER A TERMINAL WILL BE CAPABLE OF STRONG WINDS AND SHORT DURATION IFR VSBYS. FOR NOW...HAVE MAINTAINED A PROB30 MENTION FOR ALL TERMINALS. AS ACTIVITY EXITS TO THE SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST OVERNIGHT...CLEARING SKIES ALOFT COMBINED WITH LEFT OVER LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE WILL SET THE STAGE FOR DEVELOPING MVFR/IFR VSBYS/CIGS AT MOST TERMINALS AFTER 06Z.

A small tornado developed along a line of thunderstorms across central Oneida county. The tornado appeared to form in the city of Rome, just north of Lamphear Road, and just south of both State Route 26 and State Route 365. Initially, two telephone poles were downed, along with several trees.
As the tornado progressed towards the east-southeast, it damaged portions of a cornfield, before encountering a newly built home. The strong winds pushed the house off it's foundation. Additionally, an attached garage on the east side of the residence sustained heavy damage, with the back wall and east facing wall collapsing, causing the garage to cave in. Garage debris was blown as far as about 200 yards away. Debris was strewn across the back yard of the residence, onto State Route 365, and into the back yard of a neighboring residence to the east. The damage continued to be observed at a neighboring residence just to the east-southeast, south of Lamphear Road.

A fast moving line of thunderstorms produced damaging straight-line winds in Whitesboro in Oneida county. The microburst was short-lived, only producing damage for about 0.2 miles. The damage path was bounded by the New York State Thruway and Hidden Valley Golf Course on the southwest edge, and Holy Cross Cemetery on the northeast edge. Mainly tree damage was found within this roughly 500 yard wide area.
At the Hidden Valley Golf course, most of the tree damage was found on holes 10 through 15, close to where the course meets up with the thruway. Two to three dozen trees were snapped, uprooted or had limbs damaged. The trees were consistently blown down facing the thruway, oriented either toward the east or southeast. Meanwhile, at Holy Cross Cemetery, a larger and more impressive swath of trees was downed, uprooted or snapped. Some of these trees were healthy hardwoods, indicating that winds maximized near or just over 100 mph. At this point, trees were blown down toward the north or northeast.
