Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Albany NY 625 AM EDT Wed Sep 12 2018 .SYNOPSIS... A frontal boundary stalls south of the region today with scattered showers persisting north of the boundary, as high pressure attempts to build in from the north and west. A return to muggy conditions along with above normal temperatures is expected Thursday into the upcoming weekend. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... As of 610 AM EDT, shower activity continues across southeast NY this morning with radar estimates of about 0.25 to 0.5 inches. Shower chances will continue throughout the day, mainly along and south of Albany with cloud cover over the entire forecast area. That being said, the forecast remains on track so only minor tweaks were made to the hourly temps. Sent updates to NDFD and web servers. Prev Disc...A low pressure system was located over southeast New York early this morning with a cold front off the New England coast. Behind the cold front an area of high pressure will build across northern New York and northern New England today. With the cold front still in close proximity to our region there will be a chance of showers especially across the southern two thirds of the forecast area. Highs this afternoon will range from the mid 60s to mid 70s. && .SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/... By late tonight and Thursday, high pressure will settle across the forecast area as the cold front moves a little farther away from the forecast area. There will still be a chance of showers once again mainly across the southern two thirds of the forecast area. It will remain muggy with lows tonight in the upper 50s to mid 60s and highs on Thursday in the upper 60s to lower 80s. Thursday night through Friday looks to be mainly dry at this point in time. There will still be a chance of showers mainly across the southwestern third of the forecast area. Lows Thursday night will be in the mid 50s to upper 60s with highs on Friday in the upper 60s to upper 70s. Friday night will be dry across the entire forecast area as the ridge of high pressure is centered across our region. Lows will be in the upper 50s to mid 60s. && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... We continue to monitor the latest track and trends from Florence as we encourage everyone to refer to the latest guidance from the National Hurricane Center at www.nhc.noaa.gov. For our forecast area, an anonymously strong ridge will hold strong through the weekend. This should keep most locations dry with above normal warmth both Saturday and Sunday. Though, a few diurnally- induced showers may be possible, mainly north and west of Albany, as moisture gets trapped under the ridge. Monday, the upper ridge shifts slightly eastward as a storm system attempts to take shape over southern Canada and track towards our region. At the same time, the remnants of Florence could potentially start lifting northward towards the Ohio Valley. However, guidance continues to struggle with Florence and its potential effects it could have on the northeast. For now, it looks like we may only see a few showers from an open wave which scoots by our area to the north Monday night into Tuesday. The better chance for rainfall appears to be with a stronger upper trough and cold front which develops on Wednesday just north of the Great Lakes. Fall-like weather looks to return behind this frontal passage for the second half of the work week. && .AVIATION /10Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... MVFR/IFR flight conditions across the region as lower stratus has settled across the region. Some improvement in ceilings is possible by later this morning into the early afternoon, but this is also somewhat uncertain on the timing right now. More showers are possible today especially from KALB south and east. Have VCSH in the TAFS up until late this afternoon followed by some PROB30 groups as IFR conditions possible again by this evening. Winds will be very light at 5 kts or less through the entire TAF period ending at 12Z Thursday. Outlook... Wednesday Night: High Operational Impact. Scattered SHRA...TSRA. Thursday: Moderate Operational Impact. Isolated SHRA...TSRA. Thursday Night: NO SIG WX. Friday: Low Operational Impact. NO SIG WX. Friday Night: No Operational Impact. NO SIG WX. Saturday: Low Operational Impact. Slight Chance of SHRA...TSRA. Saturday Night: No Operational Impact. NO SIG WX. Sunday: No Operational Impact. NO SIG WX. && .FIRE WEATHER... A frontal boundary stalls south of the region today with scattered showers persisting north of the boundary, as high pressure attempts to build in from the north and west. A return to muggy conditions along with above normal temperatures is expected Thursday into the upcoming weekend. RH values will drop to 65 to 90 percent this afternoon, recover to near 100 percent tonight, and drop to 55 to 85 percent on Thursday. Light and variable winds of less than 10 mph are expected today through Thursday. && .HYDROLOGY... For today through Friday some heavier showers and isolated thunderstorms are possible over the southern half of the hydro service area, but overall main stem rivers should recede. Dry weather is then expected over the weekend.
