Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Binghamton NY 738 PM EDT Wed May 1 2024

SYNOPSIS
Dry weather has returned thru Friday. Temperatures will remain above average for early May. Then, a brief cool down with periods of rain showers is expected for the upcoming weekend.

NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/
605 PM Update...

No major changes with this update. Blended current observations into the forecast. Near-term forecast remains on track.

200 PM Update...

Clouds are slowly dissipating early this afternoon as drier air mixes into the boundary layer from aloft. Clear to mostly clear skies are expected tonight as a surface high slides off to the east. Southerly winds will pick up overnight and with dry air mixing in, decided to keep fog out of the grids for the overnight hours. A cold front moving through as a weak low passes through to the north early tomorrow morning with sprinkles added to much of CNY as the front should be mostly dry but a few isolated showers can not be ruled out.

Ridging begins to build in tomorrow with NW flow advecting in cooler air so highs will be a little cooler than today. Dry weather will continue through Thursday night with the ridge axis approaching.

SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/
350 PM Update...

Quiet weather will remain in place Friday with upper level ridging in place. Light southerly flow and warm advection will lead to a warmer day for most in the afternoon with highs in the 70s. Surface high pressure will be shifting to the east during the afternoon and evening giving way to a front approaching from the west. This will bring a chance of showers to the area Saturday, with showers becoming more likely (55-70%) Saturday afternoon and night. With the increase in clouds and showers, it will turn cooler Saturday with highs in the 60s. Lows Saturday night will be largely in the 40s.

LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/
350 PM Update...

Showers remain likely into Sunday, especially through early afternoon, as the front mentioned above continues to slowly press eastward. This will keep conditions cool with highs in the 50s and 60s. Another front approaching from the west will keep a slight chance of showers around into Sunday night. However, the main upper support with this feature is expected to pass by off to our north leading to more isolated activity.

Temperatures will be back on the rise again Monday through midweek, making a return to the 70s. Weak surface high pressure does work its way back into the area Monday leading to a largely dry day. A warm front looks to move in from the south and west and into our area Tuesday into Wednesday bringing a chance of showers and perhaps some rumbles of thunder.

AVIATION /00Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/

730 PM Update

Generally fair weather and VFR conditions are expected much of the time at our TAF sites for this period. A weak cold front will push through Central NY overnight, before washing out over PA Thursday morning. This front will bring some scattered to broken mid-level (VFR) clouds to the terminals and also bring a wind shift, from east-southeast ahead of it, to southwest, then westerly behind it. The one notable exception is RME, where MVFR/Fuel Alt CIGs are possible toward daybreak, which look to linger most of the morning here. This scatters and becomes VFR here by afternoon.

Otherwise, the VFR clouds diminish and clear out by late afternoon for the rest of the taf sites. Winds turn west- northwest on Thursday between 10-20 kts.

Outlook...

Thursday night...VFR Likely.

Friday...Mainly VFR, but late day showers/t'storms possible.

Saturday into Monday...Restrictions possible in showers and thunderstorms.

BGM WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES
PA...None.
NY...None.
