AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Albany NY 339 PM EDT Fri Apr 26 2024

SYNOPSIS
High pressure will be shifting off to the southeast for tonight into Saturday, allowing for clear skies to gradually give way to some clouds. As a frontal boundary approaches the area, some showers will be possible for late Saturday into Saturday night. A frontal boundary will remain close to the area for Sunday into Monday, with clouds and some passing light showers in spots. Warmer temperatures will finally make its way into the region during next week.

NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SATURDAY MORNING/
As of 339 PM EDT...High pressure (around 1033 mb) is centered over northern New York and New England. With the strong subsidence in place, skies are fairly sunny across the area.
Visible satellite imagery, web cams and surface observations shows the only clouds over the Northeast are a few thin cirrus clouds around. With the high pressure area continued to only slowly drift to the southeast and dry air in place, it will continue to stay fairly clear into the evening hours. The 12z KALY sounding showed a PWAT of only 0.17 inches, which is very dry and dewpoints remain very low in the teens and 20s.

For tonight, the high pressure area will be slowly shifting to just offshore southern New England by the late night hours. For most of the night, it will be fairly clear, although some thin high clouds may start to increase by late in the overnight from the west. By later in the overnight, a light south to southeast wind will start to develop, especially in the Hudson Valley.
This may prevent temps from getting as chilly as the last few mornings, but most spots will be in the 30s. Some sheltered areas (especially the Adirondacks and southern VT) will still see some 20s. Although the growing season hasn't begun officially yet, many areas will be seeing some frost tonight.

SHORT TERM /6 AM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/
Skies will be fairly clear to start the day on Saturday, although clouds will be gradually increasing from west to east through the day. Despite the increasing cloud cover, low levels will still remain fairly dry, with dewpoints still down in the 30s. Daytime highs look a little milder than the last few days even with the increasing clouds, as the southerly flow will allow some warmer temps, with most areas reaching the upper 50s to mid 60s for highs.

By late in the day and into the evening, a few showers will be possible, as a low level boundary starts approaching from the west. Much of this activity will be drying up as it falls thanks to the dry low levels, but a few showers can't be ruled out, especially for areas north and west of the Capital Region.

For the overnight hours, a few more showers are possible, although activity will be fairly spotty and mainly light. The best moisture and forcing will remain west of the region and upper level ridging will be trying to stay in place along the eastern seaboard, but some showers will be trying to track into the region from northwest to southeast and sneak over the ridge.
Have generally gone with chance POPs across the region, but most of the showers will be light and fairly brief. A few may linger into the start of the day on Sunday too, otherwise, it will be cloudy with lows in the 40s.

On Sunday, a few early day showers may still be ongoing.
Otherwise, it will be fairly cloudy to start the day with a weak boundary draped close to the area. Clouds may eventually break for some sun, especially southern and eastern areas. It will be noticeably more humid than the past few days with temps in the 60s and dewpoint into the 50s. Some high temps could reach the low 70s in valley areas if enough sun occurs. With the best forcing still west of the region, it should be fairly dry for Sunday afternoon into Sunday night. It will remain partly to mostly cloudy into Sunday night with lows in the 50s.

LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/
Frontal boundary may eventually start to lift back north as a warm front on Monday, which should allow for a mild day on Monday, especially for southern areas. This will ultimately depend on how quickly the boundary lifts north and how much sun occurs, but some daytime temps well into the 70s will be possible for Monday. Most of the day looks dry on Monday, although the threat for showers may return by Monday evening.

The best chance for some precip looks to be Monday night into Tuesday, as the ridging finally gets pushed offshore and a shortwave and associated surface boundary approaches from the west. There could be some rumbles of thunder, although instability does look somewhat limited at this time. At this point, our highest POPs look to be Tuesday afternoon and evening, although the timing is still somewhat in question.
Highs look mild in the 60s and 70s on Tuesday.

Even behind the front, it will remain above normal for Wed through Friday, with daytime temps still in the 60s and 70s.
There will probably be a dry stretch behind the initial front on Wed/Thurs before another boundary approaches from the west on Friday with more scattered showers. The timing is still subject to change as there are still some differences within the models, but a Spring-like week with milder temps certainly looks to be in store for the region.

AVIATION /19Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/
Flying conditions will continue to be VFR through the entire TAF period. Nearly fully clear skies will continue this afternoon into this evening. Some high clouds will be increasing late tonight into Saturday morning. By later Saturday morning into Saturday afternoon, there will be sct-bkn clouds around 25 kft.
Some spotty stratocu/cu will be moving into the area during the day on Saturday as well, but it will remain VFR. The next chance for showers won't be until late in the day on Saturday or Saturday night.

Surface winds will be light to calm today into most of tonight.
South to southeast winds will be developing by late tonight around 5 kts. On Saturday, southerly winds will increase to 5 to 10 kts for all sites.
