AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
238 PM EDT TUE JUN 23 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
.A COLD FRONT SWEEP ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON WITH STRONG TO
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE. IT WILL BE WINDY IN THE
WAKE OF THE BOUNDARY...WITH COOLER AND LESS HUMID CONDITIONS BEING
USHERED IN FOR WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 341 REMAIN IN EFFECT UNTIL 4 PM FOR
GREENE...ULSTER...COLUMBIA...DUTCHESS...BERKSHIRE...LITCHFIELD AND
WINDHAM COUNTIES.

WE ARE IN THE WARM SECTOR WITH VARIABLE CLOUDY CONDITIONS SO NOT
REACHING FULL INSTABILITY POTENTIAL. CONVECTION CONTINUE TO FIRE
UP ACROSS REGION MAINLY TO WEST. IT IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE IN
COVERAGE WITH TIME AS THE AFTERNOON PROGRESSES AND COLD FRONT
BEARS DOWN ON AREA AND PROVIDES FORCING/LIFT. LIGHTNING HAS
LIMITED WITH THE ACTIVITY ACROSS THE NORTHWEST PORTION OF THE
FORECAST AREA THUS FAR. WIND FIELD ACROSS REGION IS VERY STRONG
FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR HOWEVER LAPSE RATES NOT IMPRESSIVE ACROSS
AREA AND WARM ALOFT.

18Z SOUNDING PARAMETERS:
FREEZING LEVEL: 13.4 KFT
-20C: 25.2 KFT
WET BULB ZERO: 12.2 KFT
LCL: 1580 FT METERS
MUCAPE: 1580 J/KG
SFC- 6KM SHEAR: 46 KTS
MID LEVEL LAPSE RATE: 6.2 C/KM
500 MB: -7C
700 MB: 8C

BREEZY...WARM AND HUMID TODAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
TONIGHT-WEDNESDAY NIGHT...IN THE WAKE OF TODAY/S ACTIVE
WEATHER...MUCH CALMER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED...WITH COOLER AND
LESS HUMID CONDITIONS SPREADING ACROSS THE REGION. ONE CAVEAT WILL
BE AN UPPER LEVEL IMPULSE APPROACHING THE SOUTHERN ADIRONDACKS
LATE WED AFTERNOON/EARLY WED NT...WHICH COULD TRIGGER ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED SHOWERS. OTHERWISE...MAX TEMPS WED SHOULD REACH THE
UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S IN VALLEYS WITH UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S
ACROSS HIGHER ELEVATIONS. OVERNIGHT MINS SHOULD FALL INTO THE 50S
FOR MOST AREAS...WITH PERHAPS SOME 40S ACROSS SOME HIGHER
ELEVATIONS.

THU-THU NT...A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO TRACK SOUTH OF
THE REGION LATE THU INTO THU NT. CLOUDS...AND SOME LIGHT RAIN OR
SHOWERS MAY DEVELOP LATE THU AFTERNOON AND PERSIST INTO A PORTION
OF THU NT...ESP FOR AREAS SOUTH OF I-90. THE NORTHERN FRINGE OF
THIS PRECIPITATION REMAINS IN QUESTION...AS SOME MODELS ALLOW FOR
LIGHT RAIN TO EXPAND FURTHER N...WHILE OTHERS CONFINE ANY PRECIP
TO THE MID HUDSON VALLEY/SE CATSKILLS AND NW CT. SO...FOR
NOW...HAVE INDICATED SLIGHT CHC POPS FOR AREAS N OF I-90...AND CHC
TO THE SOUTH. THU MAX TEMPS SHOULD REACH 75-80...AND THU NT/FRI AM
MINS SHOULD FALL INTO THE 50S TO LOWER 60S.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
LOW CONFIDENCE FORECAST FOR MUCH OF THE LONG TERM PORTION OF THE
FORECAST...AS THERE IS UNCERTAINTY WITH REGARDS TO IF/WHEN AN UPPER
LEVEL TROUGH MOVING THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES CLOSES OFF AND BECOMES A
CUT-OFF LOW WITH POTENTIAL FOR COASTAL DEVELOPMENT. THIS COULD
RESULT IN A COOL...CLOUDY AND POSSIBLY DAMP WEEKEND. HOWEVER THIS IS
FAR FROM CERTAIN. THERE IS A SIGNAL FOR BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES
BUT THE DEGREE OF CLOUDS/RAINFALL IS IN QUESTION.

MODEL TRENDS HAVE BEEN SHOWING AT LEAST FOR FRIDAY THE MAIN FEATURE
WILL BE THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH SWINGING ACROSS OUR REGION BRINGING
PERHAPS A FEW SHOWERS. HIGH PRESSURE IN ITS WAKE SHOULD RESULT IN A
PERIOD OF MAINLY DRY WEATHER FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY...ALTHOUGH
THIS WILL DEPEND ON HOW FAR SOUTH THE HIGH CAN BUILD IN TERMS OF
CLOUD COVER. WITH LOOSELY ORGANIZED LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPING ACROSS
THE MID ATLANTIC AND SOUTHEAST CONUS STATES AND HIGH PRESSURE OVER
SOUTHEAST CANADA AND NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND...A COOL EASTERLY ONSHORE
FLOW WILL DEVELOP AND RESULT IN BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES.

THE GFS CONTINUES TO SHOW THE UPPER LOW CUTTING OFF FROM THE MAIN
FLOW AND SPAWNING A COASTAL STORM SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY.
HOWEVER...THE ECMWF HAS TRENDED FARTHER SOUTH AND EAST WITH ANY
COASTAL DEVELOPMENT WHICH HIGH PRESSURE REMAIN THE MAIN FEATURE IN
PLACE WITH A MUCH WEAKER UPPER TROUGH AND ABSENCE OF ANY CUT-OFF
LOWS. SO BOTTOM LINE IS THAT SATURDAY LOOKS TO BE THE BETTER OF THE
TWO WEEKEND DAYS...WITH EITHER CLOUDS/RAIN OR BOTH FOR SUNDAY
DEPENDING ON THE EVOLUTION OF THE POSSIBLE CUT-OFF AND COASTAL LOW.

MORE UNSETTLED WEATHER IS POSSIBLE EARLY NEXT WEEK AS A LONG WAVE
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH PERSISTS ACROSS THE REGION. TEMPERATURES LOOK TO
CONTINUE TO BE BELOW NORMAL FOR LATE JUNE.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AN ACTIVE DAY IS EXPECTED ACROSS THE REGION...WITH THE POTENTIAL
FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY KSPF AND KPOU
WHO ARE IN A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH.

AS 1710Z...ALL WAS RELATIVELY QUITE AT THE TAF SITES.

HOWEVER...THAT SHOULD CHANGE. WE STILL EXPECT A BROKEN LINE OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO FIRE UP SOON...AND THEN WORK ACROSS
THE TAFS (POSSIBLY STAYING SOUTH OF KGFL). THE TIMING LOOKS TO BE
IN THE 19Z-22Z RANGE TO IMPACT OUR TAF SITES.

THE STORMS COULD CONTAIN STRONG GUSTY WINDS TO AT LEAST 40KTS AS
WELL AS POSSIBLY SOME HAIL.

WE WILL CONTINUE WITH TEMPO GROUPS AT ALL TAF SITES FOR
THUNDERSTORMS AS THE CONFIDENCE REMAINS PRETTY HIGH...ESPECIALLY
SOUTH AND EAST OF ALBANY AGAIN FOR THE 19Z-22Z TIME FRAME. FOR NOW
KEPT CONDITIONS AT THE HIGH END OF MVFR...BUT THERE COULD BE
A VERY BRIEF REDUCTION TO IFR AT ANY OF THE TAF SITES.

THE SURFACE SYNOPTIC WIND WILL INITIALLY BE FROM THE SOUTH
INCREASING TO 10-15 KTS WITH HIGHER GUSTS RIGHT AHEAD OF THE COLD
FRONT PASSAGE WHICH LOOKS TO BE RIGHT BEHIND THE LINE OF STORMS.BEHIND
THE COLD FRONT...WINDS WILL SWITCH TO THE WEST WITH GUSTS AROUND
OR EXCEEDING 20 KTS.

THE THUNDERSTORM THREAT SHOULD END BY 22Z AND VFR CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED TO PREVAIL THROUGH THE EVENING.

AS THE WIND DECOUPLES...THERE IS A CHANCE OF SOME FOG FOR
TONIGHT...MAINLY AT KGFL. THERE MIGHT BE SOME MVFR UPSLOPE CLOUDS
AT KPSF. FOR NOW...WE ONLY INTRODUCED A MIFG TERM FOR ALL THE TAFS
OTHER THAN KALB.

ANY AND ALL FOG WILL BE GONE BY 12Z WEDNESDAY...LEAVING VFR DAY
WITH UNRESTRICTED VISIBILITIES...FEW-SCT CU 4000-5000 FEET AGL AND
MODERATE NW BREEZE AROUND 10KTS.

OUTLOOK...

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: NO OPERATIONAL IMPACT. NO SIG WX.
THURSDAY: LOW OPERATIONAL IMPACT. SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHRA.
THURSDAY NIGHT: LOW OPERATIONAL IMPACT. SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHRA.
FRIDAY: LOW OPERATIONAL IMPACT. SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHRA.
FRIDAY NIGHT: NO OPERATIONAL IMPACT. NO SIG WX.
SATURDAY: LOW OPERATIONAL IMPACT. SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHRA.
SATURDAY NIGHT: MODERATE OPERATIONAL IMPACT. CHANCE OF RA.
SUNDAY: MODERATE OPERATIONAL IMPACT. CHANCE OF RA.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL IMPACT THE REGION
TODAY. A WARM FRONT WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL BRING SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS THIS MORNING...ESPECIALLY TO THE NORTH AND WEST OF THE
CAPITAL DISTRICT. A COLD FRONT WILL QUICKLY FOLLOW...SWEEPING ACROSS
THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON. STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE
POSSIBLE AHEAD AND ALONG THE COLD FRONT. IT WILL BE WINDY IN THE
WAKE OF THE BOUNDARY...WITH COOLER AND LESS HUMID CONDITIONS BEING
USHERED IN FOR WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL OCCUR TODAY ACROSS THE AREA TODAY AS
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM APPROACHES AND MOVES ACROSS THE AREA. PWATS
WILL INCREASE 1.5+ INCHES SO STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF HEAVY
DOWNPOURS. LOCALIZED URBAN AND POOR DRAINAGE WILL BE POSSIBLE.

FAIR WEATHER IS EXPECTED FOR THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK WITH OUR NEXT
CHANCES FOR SHOWERS COMING FOR THE END OF THE WEEK INTO THE
WEEKEND.
