  (on/off)  Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definitionFxus61 kbgm 251948 afdbgm area forecast discussion national weather service binghamton ny 348 pm edt Wed apr 25 2018 Synopsis A passing low pressure system will bring occasional rain through this evening, followed by gradually diminishing showers late tonight into Thursday. Other passing disturbances will produce showers at times Friday into Saturday, followed by dry and warming conditions early next week. Near term through Thursday night 3 pm update... low pressure over delaware will move northeast while a cold front sweeps east from southeast ontario and the ohio valley. A deep southeast flow continues to pump moisture into the area off the atlantic. An area of rain from nepa to upper susquehanna and mohawk valleys will lift northeast ahead of the front. The front will pass through the area this evening with showers. The showers will be heaviest and longest lasting in the finger lakes to the western mohawk valley. This is where the best forcing will be ahead of an upper level low. Late tonight the showers taper off but continue into Thursday afternoon before ending. Most of the showers will be in cny especially along and north of the thruway. Moisture will be wrap around as the upper level trough moves through. 850mb fall to around +2c so showers remain rain. Rain for this event has gotten to around an inch where the band is from hazleton to cooperstown. Some minor river and stream rises but nothing to worry about. Lows tonight in the lower 40s. Highs Thursday from the lower 50s northeast to around 60 scranton to elmira. Cooler Thursday night with partial clearing. Lows mostly upper 30s but lower 40s wyoming valley. Short term Friday through Saturday Unsettled weather will continue into Friday as a short wave digs into the lakes and another wave moves up along the east coast. The forecast area will be between these two systems as scattered showers slowly fill in across the area, aided by afternoon heating. Cold front drops through the area Friday night leaving us in a weak cold advection pattern under an upper trough. Expect increases daytime instability and showers, especially as the base of the upper trough swings through. Both days will have below normal daytime temperatures with clouds, rainfall amounts will generally be light. Long term Saturday night through Wednesday Showers taper off Saturday night into early Sunday as high pressure builds in. Some isolated showers may linger into Sunday afternoon over the extreme northern and eastern parts of the forecast area. |
Ridge continues to build through the end of the forecast period bringing temperatures well above normal. Highs would be well into the 70s and close to 80 at least in the valleys and away from the lakes. 430 am update... Again, the existing forecast seems to be on target, so not much was changed. Global models remain consistent from earlier runs, in showing a large-scale upper trough over eastern canada and the northeastern CONUS this weekend. This trough is progged to lift out and get replaced by upper ridging over the eastern conus next week. In general, this means cool, showery weather to start the weekend, with slow improvement starting as early as Sunday. By Monday-Tuesday, a notable trend towards drier, much warmer conditions is still foreseen. Aviation 19z Wednesday through Monday Low pressure moving up the east coast and a cold front passing this evening will keep MVFR and some ifr conditions through tonight. Some improvement Thursday morning withVFR expected late Thursday all sites. For now mostly fuel alternate ceilings andVFR vsbys. A SW to ne band of rain is slowly lifting north into bgm rme which will bring lower vsbys. Elsewhere only isolated showers. Bgm due to its elevation has ifr CIGS now through the night. With the cold front some ifr vsbys in cny from 22z to 03z. With and behind the cold front CIGS will drop to ifr except maybe elm. Around 05z showers end and vsbys improve and CIGS start to improve everywhere. Winds will help mix the low levels. Improvement to MVFR CIGS around 12z except rme. East to northeast winds at 5 kts now will become light and variable around 22z. Around 02z winds shift to NW at 5 kts. Thursday west winds will increase to 10 to 15 kts with some higher gusts. Outlook... Thursday afternoon and Thursday night... MVFR ceilings scatter out in afternoon;VFR into Thursday night. Moderate confidence. Friday to Saturday night... Some restrictions possible from rain showers at times. Moderate confidence. Sunday to Monday...VFR. High confidence. Bgm watches warnings advisories Pa... None. Ny... None. Synopsis...

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program. |
