Hail and Damaging Winds in New York, June 1, 2022

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Binghamton NY
222 PM EDT Wed Jun 1 2022

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will push through the region this evening with
showers and thunderstorms; a few could be severe. The front will
stall and remain in our vicinity Thursday, producing more
showers and isolated thunderstorms. High pressure finally builds
back in at the end of the week and into this weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
115 PM Update...

Conditions are becoming more unstable across the region with the
latest mesoanalysis showing 600-1200 J/Kg of MLCAPE across all
area southwest of a Syracuse to Utica line. In this same area, a
corridor of enhanced shear also exists, with effective layer
shear of 30-40 kts present over much of our CWA. In
collaboration with SPC a severe thunderstorm watch will be
in effect for the entire CWA except Oneida county until 10 PM.
The main threat will be isolated damaging winds, large hail and
a tornado cannot be ruled out...especially across our east-
central counties along the stationary frontal boundary.

1115 AM Update..

Made some adjustments to PoPs, QPF and sky cover over the next
24 hours based on latest radar, satellite and trends in the
CAMS. A backdoor, stationary front is draped across our CWA late
this morning, with temperatures in the 60s and north-northeast
winds north of the boundary...and temperatures 75-85 as of 11AM
south of the front. The boundary is currently located along a
line from near Penn Yan east to Cortland, Norwich and Oneonta.
This boundary may fluctuate a bit north or south through the
rest of the day, but is not expected to move too much. The main
severe thunderstorm threat should be along and south of this
front heading into the afternoon and evening hours. There will
also be the potential for locally heavy rainfall and even
isolated flash flooding if/where multiple rounds of
thunderstorms can train over the same locations. WPC is planning
a slight risk of excessive rainfall to cover this
potential...one caveat is...it has been rather dry recently and
1 hour flash-flood guidance is around or above 2 inches of rain.
As for the thunderstorm and especially severe thunderstorm
potential. SPC still has a slight risk for just about the whole
CWA, with the greatest threat still being possible damaging
winds. A low, 2% risk for an isolated tornado was added, due to
the low level shear present along the aforementioned boundary.
MLCAPE should push 1000-1500 J/Kg this afternoon south/west of
the front and bulk shear will be around 30-40 kts. DCAPE values
look rather high in the 600-800 J/Kg range, which could aid in
some wet microburst develop across the Twin Tiers down into NE
PA.

Did increase PoPs quite a bit into the evening and overnight
hours as the latest HRRR, RAP and 3km NAM are showing a third
rounds of showers and embedded thunderstorms pushing through in
this time frame...especially from the Twin Tiers south across
NE PA, where the frontal boundary should be positioned.

Lowered PoPs a bit on Thursday with this update as the CAMS are
not showing much activity other than isolated to scattered
showers and t'storms over NE PA. If these trends continue in the
rest of the 12z guidance PoPs may be lowered even further for
Thursday.

415 AM Update...

***Severe thunderstorms possible today***

Ridge of high pressure that has produced hot and mostly dry
conditions over the last few days, will flatten out today. Most
of the region will remain dry until this afternoon, but north of
the I90 Corridor will have a shot for a shower or storm this
morning as a short wave crosses northern NY.

Later this afternoon, another short wave and associated surface
cold front approaches the region from the northwest. This front
will produce wide spread showers and thunderstorms this
afternoon through this evening. Just about our entire forecast
area remains in a Slight Risk for severe thunderstorms today.
The timing of the front has slowed down a little, with it not
coming in until later this afternoon, and this should allow for
more destabilization. MLCAPE values max out at 1500 to 2000 J/kg
of CAPE. Also, forecast soundings are showing inverted V
and DCAPE values are forecast to be over 1000 J/kg, so damaging
wind gusts will be the most likely severe threat. Severe
thunderstorm potential will diminish after sunset, but may see
some lingering showers through about midnight as the front pulls
out.

The cold front will become nearly stationary and slowly drift
northward back into our region again for Thursday. Instability
will be limited and not expecting much in the way of thunderstorms,
but could see some a few isolated storms for NE PA, but any
threat for severe storms should remain well to our south. Clouds
and showers are expected through the day on Thursday and high
temperatures will run about 10 degrees cooler than today, with
most of the area in the low to mid 70s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
1230 PM Update...

Cooler and drier air moves in Friday behind any lingering showers
that may remain, resulting in dry conditons through the weekend.
Skies will also clear out throughout the day, leading to mostly
sunny skies. Temperatures will rise into the upper 60s to low 70s
during the day and fall into the upper 40s to low 50s at night.
Cooler air continues to move into the region on Saturday.
Temperatures across CNY will be a few degrees cooler than on Friday.
Those south of the Southern Tier will see little change. Nightly
temperatures will be in the 40s. This period will be a little breezy
as gusts of 20 to 25 mph are possible during the daytime hours.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
1230 PM Update...

No major changes to the long term forecast. There remains
uncertainty on when what happens next week as models continue to
show different solutions with the tropical system. So for now,
NBM was used for PoPs in this period, which gives a chance for
showers starting Monday and into midweek. Temperatures will be
near average, though slightly cooler at times next week.

     Previous Discussion...

The cooler and dry weather continues into the weekend. The jet
stream starts to lift back north late this weekend as a
potential tropical disturbance forms. Deeper moisture begins to
advect back northward early next week so the risk of showers and
thunderstorms begin to return. If the tropical disturbance can
actually form like what the ECMWF has then ridging will dominate
most of the week with isolated showers possible with day time
heating and moisture in place. If the disturbance stays mostly
an open wave or a weak low then troughing would be more possible
with better chances of precipitation heading into mid week.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
An area of rain and embedded thunderstorms continues to move
west to east across the NY Thruway corridor from SYR to RME,
likely through at least 22z this evening. This will keep MVFR
fuel alternate restrictions, along with occasional IFR
restrictions is any heavier rain or thunderstorms.

A cold front will produce widespread heavy showers and
thunderstorms with restrictions likely at all other terminals
as the storms track from northwest to southeast across the area
mainly between 20-24z this evening. Some storms may also contain
strong gusty winds and hail. Storms may linger near AVP until at
least 02z this evening.

Behind the front tonight, showers come to an end, but low level
moisture behind the front will bring ceiling restrictions and
possibly fog late tonight into Thursday morning. Best chance to
see fog would be locations that see heavier rainfall this
evening...and also ELM where winds may decouple in the valley.

Conditions gradually improve Thursday morning, with all taf
sites likely returning to VFR after 14-16z. A few additional
showers may develop INVOF AVP heading into the midday and
afternoon hours Thursday.

Outlook...

Thursday afternoon through Thursday night...Rain showers and
maybe an isolated thunderstorm and associated restrictions are
possible at all terminals again.

Friday through Sunday...Lingering showers possible Friday
morning, otherwise mainly VFR.

Monday...A chance of showers and isolated afternoon
thunderstorms with associated restrictions possible.
