NWS Binghamton, NY wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 8, 6:29 PM EST, 1 hour 33 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BINGHAMTON NY 729 PM EDT SUN JUN 8 2014 .SYNOPSIS... A WEAK, SLOW MOVING STORM SYSTEM WILL SLIDE ACROSS PENNSYLVANIA TONIGHT, AND TOWARD THE DELMARVA PENINSULA MONDAY. THIS WILL KEEP OUR WEATHER UNSETTLED, WITH SHOWERS AND THE POSSIBILITY FOR AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM THROUGH MONDAY. WE WILL REMAIN UNSETTLED AND WARM FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK WITH CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM MONDAY MORNING/... 7 PM UPDATE... UPDATE TO SPEED UP SHOWERS AND TSTORMS. AHEAD OF EVEN THE FAST HRRR MODEL. SHOULD BE SOME DECREASE IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY AS IT MOVES INTO THE DRY STABLE AIRMASS OVER MOST OF THE CWA. MORE UNSTABLE AIR OVER CENT PA AND WRN NY MOVING EAST INTO STEUBEN ATTM. THIS WILL CONTINUE EAST BUT TEMPS SHOULD DROP. WITH WEAK WIND SPEEDS AND LOW TOPPED CONVECTION SEVERE WX SHOULD NOT BE A THREAT TONIGHT. THE THING TO WATCH WILL BE THE HEAVY RAIN. SO FAR STRIPES OF INCH PER HOUR RAIN IN STEUBEN. WITH THE LACK OF RAIN IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS THIS AMOUNT WILL NOT CAUSE PROBLEMS. THE SECOND BATCH WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED FOR TRAINING IN THE FAR WEST. 245 PM UPDATE... AN AREA OF RAIN, WITH SOME EMBEDDED THUNDER, CONTINUES TO ADVANCE NORTHEAST AND IS NOW INTO WESTERN NY AND NORTHWEST PA. THIS RAIN IS ASSOCIATED WITH A WEAK LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER EASTERN OHIO THAT WILL SLOWLY MOVE EAST THROUGH MONDAY MORNING. DESPITE LARGE DEWPOINT DEPRESSIONS (THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TEMPERATURE AND DEWPOINT ARE RUNNING 25 TO 30 DEGREES RIGHT NOW), HIGHER RESOLUTION GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO SPEED UP AND INCREASE THE LIKELIHOOD OF RAIN IN OUR AREA TONIGHT. THE LATEST HRRR IS WELL IN LINE WITH CURRENT RADAR TRENDS AND SEEMS TO HAVE A BETTER HANDLE THAN THE ARW OR THE NMM. I LIKE THE PREVIOUS FORECASTER'S IDEA OF SHOWING THE HIGHEST POPS STILL IN THE FINGER LAKES BUT I DID BUMP UP POPS INTO THE 80%+ RANGE HERE GIVEN THE INCREASING CONFIDENCE. THROUGH 0Z IT STILL LOOKS LIKE A MAINLY ALONG OR WEST OF I-81 AFFAIR. AFTER 0Z AS OUR COLUMN MOISTENS, RAIN WILL GRADUALLY SPREAD EAST SLOWLY AND AT SOME POINT, MOST OF THE CWA SHOULD SEE RAIN TONIGHT. CHANCES FOR THE MORE APPRECIABLE RAINS WILL BE IN THE FINGER LAKES, WITH A GRADUAL DECREASING TREND IN AMOUNTS THE FARTHER EAST AND SOUTHEAST YOU LIVE FROM THIS LOCATION. AREAS OF HEAVY RAIN ARE POSSIBLE ESPECIALLY FROM LATE EVENING ON AS PWATS CLIMB FROM UNDER AN INCH TO 1.5 INCHES. WE CAN CERTAINLY HANDLE THIS RAIN IN MOST CASES AS WE HAVE BEEN VERY DRY LATELY. RAIN WILL GRADUALLY SHIFT EAST WITH MORE OF A FOCUS OVER THE CATSKILLS, BY DAYBREAK MONDAY. I LEFT IN THE MENTION OF THUNDER (ISOLATED) THROUGH MIDNIGHT. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... 245 PM UPDATE... THE WEAK LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MENTIONED ABOVE WILL BE OVER SOUTHEAST PA BY MONDAY AFTERNOON. A GENERAL WEAKNESS EXTENDING FROM THE LOW WILL KEEP SHOWERS CHANCES AROUND ESPECIALLY FOR NEPA AND THE CATSKILLS, WITH NOTHING MORE THAN A FEW ISOLATED SHOWERS OVER CENTRAL NY DURING THE DAY MONDAY. CONFIDENCE IN THE MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT PERIOD IS LOWER THAN AVERAGE. ALL MODEL GUIDANCE, TO VARYING DEGREES, SHOW THE THREAT FOR A FEW SHOWERS AROUND. WHILE NO MAJOR TRIGGERS ARE NEARBY, WE WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE A MOIST SOUTHERLY FLOW OF AIR AROUND AS AN APPROACHING SYSTEM SLOWLY MOVES OUT OF THE CENTRAL US. THIS PERIOD WILL LIKELY BE DIURNALLY DRIVEN WITH THE BEST CHANCE FOR PRECIP COMING LATE MORNING THROUGH EARLY EVENING. A SLIGHTLY BETTER SHOT AT PRECIPITATION COMES WEDNESDAY, ESPECIALLY LATER IN THE DAY AS A CUT OFF LOW MOVES INTO THE OHIO VALLEY, AND WE GET CLOSER TO SOME UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT. STILL IT APPEARS THE HIGHEST CHANCES FOR RAIN, BEYOND TONIGHT, MAY BE AT THE TAIL END OF THE WEEK. && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/... 215 PM UPDATE... UNSETTLED PATTERN CONTS THRU THE END OF THE LONG TERM. WV CURRENTLY TRACKING THRU THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST WL EVENTUALLY CLOSE OFF OVR THE SRN PLAINS WITH SW FLOW OVER US. THIS WL SHOOT S/WVS OVR THE CWA AT RANDOM LEADING TO MOSTLY HIT AND MISS SHOWERS AND TSTMS WITH THE MOST LKLY TIME FOR PCPN TO FALL DRG DIURNAL HTG. FROPA LOOKS TO OCCUR LATE FRI NGT WITH BEST CHC FOR TSTMS EXPECTED FRI AFTN. SFC HIPRES LOOKS AS THO IT WL BUILD IN SAT MRNG WITH ANOTHER NICE WEEKEND EXPECTED TO BE ON TAP WITH 585 HEIGHTS BUILDING INTO AREA. TEMPS DRG THE EXTNDD WL BE IN THE 70S AND NR 80F WHICH IS A FEW DEGREES ABV NORMAL. && .AVIATION /00Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... UPR WV AND WEAK SFC LOW FIRING CONV OVER THE AREA THIS EVE.
