NWS Forecaster Discussion
186 fxus61 kaly 051116 afdaly Area forecast discussion National Weather Service Albany New York 715 am EDT Sat Jul 5 2008 Synopsis... the listening area will be between high pressure to the north and a stationary front just to our south today. The most unsettled weather will remain south of Albany...with mainly dry pleasant weather north of Albany. If anything...the front will slip a little further south tonight before slowly lifting back north as a warm front come late Sunday into Sunday. && Near term /until 6 PM this evening/... an area of showers...some with heavy rain...has developed across our extreme southern areas (around Interstate 84)...in the wake of a short wave that has actually exit the region. Another surge of showers in heading northeast from central PA toward the New York border in association with another short wave. IFR satellite indicates cooling clouds tops also moving northeast. Will have to keep an eye on these developments. The 00z mav and European models keep any measurable south of Albany today while the NAM does bring some quantitative precipitation forecast to Albany and even points a little further north. However...none of the models appears to have a handle on this latest surge of moisture (especially that over north central pa). Our preliminary thinking (not yet etched in stone) does bring a slight chance of showers north of Albany...and chances further south. With some marginal instability this afternoon...will continue the idea of thunder as well. The best chance for a completely dry day is across the northern rim of the Mohawk Valley and Adirondacks. More cloud cover will offset warmer h850 temperatures (reaching about +15c) over Albany by late in the day. We forecast temperatures similar to those of yesterday. && Short term /6 PM this evening through Monday/... if model trends are correct...the front will actually sag a wee bit further south tonight as another weak bubble of high pressure builds to our north. This should suppress convective activity somewhat at least from Albany northward. However...isolated to convective activity could still work into our southern areas so we will keep probability of precipitation going in that areas. By late Sunday...the front will finally begin to make its move northward as a deeper short wave moves along it. Chance of showers and thunderstorms increase in our northern zones. However....the front is also forecast to weaken as we begin to ridge aloft...and surface Bermuda high begins to swell. For now...follow the GFS solution regarding the synoptic mass field and even quantitative precipitation forecast. As is often the case with these types of scenarios... confidence in this period is lower than normal since specific timing of the passing of short waves is difficult at best. Also...with increasing precipitable waters there is the risk of localized heavy rainfall. More about that will follow in our Hydro discussion. Went with a blend of all model guidance regarding low and high temperatures along with some local "tweaking." && Long term /Monday night through Friday/... only slight chance probability of precipitation forecast Sunday night with warm humid air available...but not much to lift it. Tuesday could also turn out to be mainly dry with the GFS/European model (ecmwf) now delaying the arrival of the cold front until Wednesday. However...did keep a slight chance of thunderstorms in most areas for Tuesday afternoon...and a low chance extreme northwest part of the forecast area. However...lack of precipitation and lower amounts of clouds will make Tuesday very warm and have raised maximum temperatures to between the middle 80s and lower 90s for most areas. Probability of precipitation are forecast to gradually increase Tuesday night and Wednesday morning...reaching their maximum (around 50 percent) as the cold front moves through Wednesday afternoon and early evening. One more very warm and humid day for Wednesday with highs generally in the 80s. Will linger showers/thunderstorms into later Wednesday night with low chance probability of precipitation...then forecast dry weather Thursday through Friday as a pleasantly warm and dry Canadian high pressure system builds in. At this point have forecast temperatures to be near or a little below normal Thursday through Friday with highs both days in the 70s to lower 80s...and lows Thursday night in the upper 40s to upper 50s. && Aviation /12z Saturday through Wednesday/... VFR conditions at kgfl/kalb through early tonight as any showers remain to the south. After midnight tonight...calm winds will lead to fog formation...especially at kgfl where IFR/MVFR conditions expected. MVFR fog at kalb. Kpou will have persistent MVFR ceilings/visibilities through late morning..with IFR fog possible through about 13z. Have forecast vcsh at kpou for the entire taf period (through 12z sunday)...and have included the cumulonimbus qualifier for this afternoon and evening. Ceilings/visibilities become VFR this afternoon...even though haze will keep visibilities just barely VFR. After 02z tonight...MVFR visibilities due to fog with IFR possible if showers occur today or tonight. Surface winds will be light and variable at all three sites through the period. Outlook... Sunday through Wednesday...VFR/MVFR...chc shra/tsra...mainly PM and evening. && Fire weather... expect unsettled weather at times to the south of Albany...as disturbances ripple along a stationary front found further south today and tonight. On Sunday...as the front begins to lift...the threat of showers and thunderstorms will drift north. Relative humidity values will be remain higher than yesterday...only dropping into the 60s in our southern areas...50s locally...as 35-40 across the Adirondacks. Full recovery expected tonight with either dew or wetting from showers further south. Relative humidity values tomorrow be similar to those of today...except a bit higher north. The wind looks to remain fairly light through the period. A northeast wind 5-10 miles per hour found over northern areas...while the wind will be more easterly at similar speed further south. Light and variable wind tonight followed a more southerly wind 5-10 miles per hour on Sunday. Increasingly warm and humid weather can be expected through early next week. The threat of showers and thunderstorms will be low...but cannot be ruled out especially in the afternoon and evening. && Hydrology... no major hydrological concerns are expected throughout the period. However...having said that...we have issued a ffw for west central Dutchess County as a nearly stationary efficient core dumping shower (no lightning as of yet) has produced an estimated three inches or more of rainfall. Localized heavy rain will be certainly a threat not only today...but through the next several days as upper level winds remain light and precipitable waters increase to well over an inch. We do not expect enough widespread heavy rainfall to impact overall water sheds...but any heavy shower or thunderstorm could produce localized sharp rises in smaller creeks as well as ponding of water on roads and areas of poor drainage. && Aly watches/warnings/advisories... CT...none. New York...none. Massachusetts...none. Vermont...none. && $$ Synopsis...hwjiv near term...hwjiv short term...hwjiv long term...maglaras aviation...maglaras fire weather...hwjiv hydrology...hwjiv Www.Weather.Gov/Albany
