AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Albany NY 107 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 /THROUGH TONIGHT/
As of 107 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, with just a few thin high clouds around. 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 sunny through the entire day and into the evening hours. The 12z KALY sounding showed a PWAT of only 0.17 inches, which is very dry.
Temps aloft are a little warmer than yesterday, so highs should be a little closer to normal, although probably still slightly below average for late April. Most areas will be in the 50s for highs this afternoon, although a few spots in the Hudson Valley could reach the low 60s. With the surface high overhead, winds will be very light or calm through the entire day.
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 /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/
An upper level ridge axis will move east across the region on Sat, while surface high pressure remains positioned south/east of New England. Dry conditions are expected to prevail through much of the day. A warm front approaching from the west will bring increasing clouds during the afternoon, and perhaps a few light showers late in the day for areas west of the Hudson Valley. Forecast soundings indicate a significant wedge of dry air in the low levels, so most of any showers aloft should evaporate. High temperatures are expected warm to normal levels (lower/mid 60s in valleys) as the air mass continues to moderate with mostly sunny skies through the morning and at least partial sunshine into the afternoon. Southerly winds will increase with gusts of 15-20 mph developing in the afternoon.
The upper ridge axis will to shift east into New England Sat night, as the surface warm front lifts northeast across the region Sat night. Along with a possible weak disturbance moving through, this should result in scattered to numerous showers developing. Will also mention isolated thunder west of the Hudson Valley, as some there will be some elevated instability present above a developing low-level inversion. With the clouds and showers around, lows will be milder mainly in the 40s.
Milder temperatures are expected on Sunday as the warm front lifts north of the region and upper level heights start to build again. However, some guidance has trended cooler as the upper ridge axis will be positioned to our west and a possible weak disturbance may spill over the ridge with extra cloud cover and a few showers possible. Will mention slightly cooler temperatures compared to the previous forecast, but still relatively mild with 60s to lower 70s for highs. Confidence in precip chances is low at this time, but much of the day could still end up dry.
Upper ridging looks to become better established Sun night, with solid 500 mb height anomalies of +1 to +2 STDEV. As a strong surface high tracks east into northern Quebec, ridging extending southward may push a cold front into at least northern parts of our region. Will monitor trends for possible showers and cooler temperatures associated with this front, but will continue to forecast mainly dry conditions and mild temperatures for now with lows in the upper 40s to mid 50s.
LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/
Periods of showers and potentially some thunderstorms riddle the extended forecast period as multiple disturbances impact the region....
The extended forecast period opens with primarily dry conditions Monday outside of a few isolated to scattered, diurnally-driven showers along a back door cold front passing through the region as its parent low pressure system moves into the Canadian Maritimes. Aloft, the axis of a mid- to upper-level ridge builds across the region, allowing a mild airmass to remain in place. However, with northwesterly flow at the apex of the ridge cutting off the advection of warmer air to our south and west and weak cold air advection from the cool fropa, high temperatures Monday will likely not reach their previously anticipated summer-like magnitude. That's not to say that Monday's highs will not be on the warm side for late April, however, as the forecast of upper 60s to upper 70s remains within 2-3 STDVs above normal according to the latest NAEFS.
Though spatial spread remains a bit uncertain, latest guidance indicates that showers will then begin to overspread the region from west to east late Monday evening/early Tuesday morning as a warm front approaches the region. As the warm front makes progress through the region through Tuesday morning, eastern New York and western New England will become wedged into the warm sector ahead of an impending cold front. Showers will continue throughout the day Tuesday with some embedded thunderstorms possible as medium to long term guidance indicates modest instability across portions of the region. It is too early to determine the strength of any developing convection, but any thunderstorms that develop will likely dissipate come Tuesday night with the loss of diurnal heating decreasing instability.
And while timing discrepancies exist surrounding the dissipation of showers, medium to long range guidance indicates lingering precipitation into at least Wednesday morning. Tuesday's highs will be slightly cooler than Monday's with temperatures looking to range from the mid 60s to low 70s.
A brief break in shower activity comes Wednesday as a surface high ridges in from the southwest. High temperatures Wednesday will range from the mid 60s to mid 70s with pockets of low 60s in high terrain areas. Shower chances increase once again towards the end of the week with yet another frontal system looking to impact the region. However, uncertainty surrounding the evolution of this system subsequently gives low confidence in the impacts for our forecast area. For now, mentioned scattered to chance PoPs throughout the region through the end of the week. High temperatures during this time will cool off a bit in comparison to the beginning of the period with highs expected to be in the low to upper 60s Thursday with pockets of 50s above 1500 ft and 50s and 60s likely on Friday.
AVIATION /18Z 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.

Saturday: Low Operational Impact. Slight Chance of SHRA.
Saturday Night: Moderate Operational Impact. Chance of SHRA.
