AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Albany NY 346 PM EDT Mon Apr 29 2024
SYNOPSIS
A frontal boundary will be lifting back northward for tonight, allowing for some spotty showers overnight. A stronger disturbance will allow for some additional showers and thunderstorms for later Tuesday into Tuesday evening. Drier weather will return for Wednesday with seasonable temperatures.
NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/
As of 346 PM EDT...Stalled frontal boundary continues to be located across the Catskills, mid Hudson Valley and across western New England. To the south of the boundary, skies are still partly to mostly sunny, with temps well into the 70s and low 80s and dewpoints in the 60s. Meanwhile, areas to the north, including the Capital Region, are still mainly in the 50s, with widespread low clouds and northerly winds. This front will remain fairly stationary, perhaps settling southward this evening towards the lower Hudson Valley.
Visible satellite imagery continues to show a band of lower clouds over northern areas, although these have started to break up compared to earlier in the day. Southern areas are seeing some diurnal cumulus. Although the diurnal cumulus will start to dissipate around sunset, the persistent southerly flow to the south of the front will allow for some low stratus to form for tonight. These low stratus clouds overspread the entire area for tonight, as the onshore flow and nocturnal cooling allow for plenty of clouds.
CAMs suggest some scattered showers will be developing south and west of the region for this evening within the area of better moisture and instability. Through the overnight, some of this activity may start to spread into our area. Instability will be limited across our area due to the stable low-levels, but an elevated rumble of thunder can't be ruled out. Any shower activity looks fairly brief and mainly spotty, with the best chances across western and southern areas.
Lows overnight will range from the mid 40s in northern areas to the mid 50s in southern areas.
SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/
The upper level ridge that is in place over the eastern CONUS will be shifting eastward and weakening for Tuesday as it heads offshore. Meanwhile, upper level dynamics will be weak, as a disturbance running into the departing ridge heads to the northeast and starts to fall apart. There still will be the surface boundary draped across the region and a weak area of low pressure will be sliding along this front.
While Tuesday will start off fairly quiet with just a partly to mostly cloudy sky, the chance for precip will be increasing through the day. CAMs suggest a cluster of showers and t-storms will be accompanying the low pressure area as it slides eastward along the front. The best timing for this for our area looks to be the afternoon and evening hours.
There should be enough sun across the entire area for temps in the upper 50s to low 60s, but dewpoints remain fairly low in the 50s and the low- levels should be fairly stable. The better warmth and moisture will remain south and west of the region through the day. At this point, it looks like instability will remain fairly limited, so any thunder looks fairly isolated.
There could be some lingering elevated thunder that occurs due to surface-based storms to the west running into our area.
Decent lapse rates are in the place aloft, so small hail can't be totally ruled out, but the stable low levels should help prevent any strong winds from occurring with any storms. PWATs and dewpoints don't look too high for this time of year, so while some ponding can't be ruled out, downpours don't look long/hard enough for bigger flooding issues. This activity could linger into the first part of Tuesday night, but it should be clearing out by the late night hours, with temps in the 40s to low 50s.
On Wednesday, mainly drier weather is expected across most of the area. There still could be a few spotty light rain showers (especially northern areas) as an upper level disturbance passes by to the north, but overall it looks drier and more seasonable for the entire area, with highs in the 60s and a partly to mostly cloudy sky. Better clearing is expected for Wed night with lows in the 40s to low 50s.
LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/
Upper level ridging looks to set up across the area for Thursday into Friday. This should allow for mainly dry conditions, with more sun that recent days and mild temps. Have gone with highs in the 60s to low 70s for both days with upper 40s to low 50s at night. Will keep a slight chance in for POPs in case something sneaks around the ridge from the north, but most places should wind up staying dry.
Over the weekend, there could be a threat for some showers once again as a frontal boundary approaches from the west. The timing is still somewhat uncertain, but will tend to favor the diurnally favored time periods for any showers. Temps still look fairly mild, with most areas well into the 60s for highs along with a partly cloudy sky.
AVIATION /20Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/
Flying conditions are generally VFR for the valley sites, with MVFR ceilings at the higher elevation site of KPSF. A frontal boundary is located close to the region and this front will remain stalled over the area through the late evening hours, before returning back northward as a warm front for the overnight hours. While it should stay dry through this evening, some showers may develop along this front overnight, although activity will be fairly spotty. A light northerly wind through this evening with become easterly at light speeds for the overnight. Some additional showers or thunderstorms may be possible on Tuesday, although it may not be until late in the day (after the TAF period ending at 18z Tuesday).
Based on model soundings, will be expecting low stratus to re-develop overnight as the front lifts northward. Will allow for MVFR ceilings for all sites for the overnight hours, with ovc cigs around 2-3 kft. On Tuesday morning, flying conditions will continue to remain MVFR for all sites, with a moist southeasterly winds developing at 5 to 10 kts for all TAF sites.
Outlook...
Tuesday Night: High Operational Impact
Definite SHRA
TSRA.
Wednesday: Moderate Operational Impact. Chance of SHRA.
Wednesday Night: No Operational Impact. NO SIG WX.
Thursday: Low Operational Impact. NO SIG WX.
Thursday Night: Low Operational Impact. NO SIG WX.
Friday: Low Operational Impact. NO SIG WX.
Friday Night: Low Operational Impact. Slight Chance of SHRA.
Saturday: Moderate Operational Impact. Chance of SHRA.
HYDROLOGY
Mainly dry weather will continue through the evening hours.
Overnight, some spotty showers are possible along a stalled boundary across southern areas and this front will be slowly heading back northward as a warm front. A stray thunderstorm can't be ruled out overnight along this front, but it should be fairly isolated.
After a dry start to Tuesday, more showers and thunderstorms are expected by later in the day as a frontal boundary approaches from the west. The low level flow out of the south will bring in plenty of moisture into the region ahead of the boundary, although dewpoints and PWATs won't be overly excessive for this time of year. Still, the strong forcing should allow for a fairly widespread areas of showers and thunderstorms. Some of these showers and thunderstorms may contain heavy downpours, which could lead to ponding of water in urban or low lying areas. WPC has placed much of the region within a Marginal Risk for Excessive Rainfall during this period. Overall, rainfall amounts will generally be under an inch and no flooding of main stem rivers is expected.
