Fxus61 kaly 251040 afdaly area forecast discussion national weather service albany ny 640 am edt Sun aug 25 2019 Synopsis High pressure will build in from southern quebec and northern new england today. The surface high will dominate our weather into Tuesday with comfortable humidity levels with partly to mostly sunny conditions. Temperatures will run a little below normal for late august. Near term through tonight As of 640 am edt... An h500 upper low continues to close off south of the region over nj and and ERN pa towards long island. A high amplitude mid and upper ridge continues to be upstream of the region over the midwest, great lakes region extending northward into south-central canada. At the sfc, high pressure will be ridging back in from southeast quebec and northern new england. A batch of clouds continues to build in from western new england southwest through the capital region, mid hudson valley and into the eastern catskills. A few sprinkles are possible over the higher terrain. Patchy fog should dissipate near kgfl and the lake george region, as well as over parts of western new england. The clouds will gradually erode this morning as it will become mostly sunny from the capital region north and east, and partly sunny or partly clouds south and west, as the closed upper low weakens and drifts east of CAPE cod. Some sprinkles may linger into the early pm. H850 temps will be -1 to -2 stdevs below normal based on the 00z gefs. The low-level flow will be east to northeast with a cool onshore flow, expect 925 hpa temps to be in the +14 to +17c range. Highs will still run a few degrees below normal with lower to mid 70s for the valley elevations and below 1000 ft... And 60s over the higher terrain. Short term Monday through Tuesday night Tonight... The skies should be clear or mostly clear with the sfc anticyclone building back westward from northern new england. Calm winds and clear skies will promote ideal radiational cooling with lows falling off into the 40s to around 50f in the mid hudson river valley. Some patchy to areas of shallow radiational fog will be possible in the major river valleys. A few isolated upper 30s are possible in the adirondack park. Monday... A pleasant start to the week is expected with strong ridging aloft and at the sfc settling in. Mostly sunny to sunny conditions are expected with the dry air mass as pwats will be 1 to 2 stdevs drier than normal. In the strong synoptic subsidence environment expect shallow mixing and light winds with highs 2 to 5 degrees below normal with lower to mid 70s in the valleys and mid 60s to around 70f over the higher terrain. Monday night... Another cool and pleasant night is expected with perhaps some cirrus moving in from the south and west late. Lows will not be as cool as Sunday night with mid 40s to mid 50s across the region, and some patchy fog near the ct river valley and the upper hudson river valley to lake george. Tue-tue night... The ridge holds tough, as a system will be approaching from the west. Weak low to mid level warm advection will be occurring with mid and high clouds increasing. 925 hpa temps increase to +15c to +19c on the latest 00z gfs-fv3. The boundary layer winds become southerly. A prefrontal disturbance may bring a few light showers west of the hudson river valley tue night with lows in the 50s to around 60f. Long term Wednesday through Saturday On Wednesday, a front, extending from an upper level trough, will track through our area. There are some differences in the models as to how quickly the front moves through due to the amplification of the upper trough as well as any interaction with the tropical system expected to track close to CAPE may. If the front lingers, we could see showers into the day on Thursday, especially for eastern locations. As for Wednesday, thunderstorms will be possible during the afternoon and evening hours. Heavy rainfall will be possible within any storm as dew points and pwats increase to slightly above

normal ahead of the front. The upper trough exits quickly to the northeast by Thursday evening with a long wave trough setting up across canada and the great lakes. This will allow for pieces of energy to traverse the trough and move through the region for the end of the work week and into labor day weekend. Another frontal boundary will drop through the region sometime over the weekend with cooler, northerly winds ushering in more fall-like air heading into labor day. Temperatures will be near normal through the work week with highs in the valleys near 80 degrees, and in the 70s in the high terrain. Heading into Sunday, highs will range from the upper 60s to mid 70s. Overnight lows will generally be in the 50s to low 60s each night. Aviation 12z Sunday through Thursday Vfr conditions are expected to prevail through the TAF forecast period outside of some patchy fog at kgfl. Persistent east to northeast flow will lead to some scattered CU today. Patchy fog will once again be possible at kgfl tonight. Winds will generally be from the east-northeast at less than 10 kts through the period. Outlook... Monday night: no operational impact. No sig wx. Tuesday: no operational impact. No sig wx. Tuesday night: low operational impact. Slight chance of shra. Wed-wed night: moderate operational impact. Chance of shra... Slight chance of a tsra. Thursday: low operational impact. Slight chance of shra... Tsra. Fire weather High pressure will build in from southern quebec and northern new england today. The surface high will dominate our weather into Tuesday with comfortable humidity levels with partly to mostly cloudy conditions. The next chance of showers will be during the mid week. Rh values will lower to minimum values of around 40 to 55 percent this afternoon and Monday afternoon. The MAX rh values will increase to 85 to 100 percent Monday morning with areas of dew formation likely. Some patchy fog is also possible in the major river valleys. The winds will be from the northeast to east at 5 to 15 mph this afternoon and become calm tonight. On Monday, the winds will be east to southeast at 5 to 10 mph. Hydrology No significant hydro problems are expected over the next 7 days ending early next weekend. Dry weather is expected this weekend until Tuesday. The next chance of widespread rainfall will be with a frontal passage on Wednesday. The rainfall Wednesday into Thursday is expected to have minimal impacts on the main stem river flows.

Almost all of these also make simplifying assumptions so they are not totally accurate even if there are no errors. Please verify all results. 5) Weather information is from numerious of sources and is presented automatically. It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. 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.
