AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Albany NY 1023 AM EDT Sat Aug 15 2020

SYNOPSIS. Beautiful weather to start the weekend with plenty of sunshine and seasonable temperatures. Slightly cooler Sunday and Monday with chances for showers both days.

NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/. Clouds building west toward the Berkshires and NW CT will make for a partly cloudy afternoon there. Otherwise lots of sun and light winds. Minor adjustments to temperatures and sky cover through this afternoon. Previous Discussion has a few more details and is below .

Today will be a beautiful summer day with plenty of sunshine and seasonable temperatures. Afternoon highs are expected to reach the mid 70s to low 80s with light winds.

Tonight, clouds will begin increasing from the south as a wave of low pressure tracks south of Long Island/Cape. Areas north of Albany will see more clear skies and thus cooler temperatures, with lows ranging from the mid 50s to low 60s. Some locations in the Dacks could see cooler temps once again depending on cloud cover.

SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/. High pressure starts losing its grip on the region on Sunday as a cold front and its associated upper trough approach from the northwest. A low pressure system will also be tracking across the mid-Atlantic region and up towards the Cape. These two features will result in increasing cloud cover throughout the day. Showers will also be possible, mainly south and east of Albany, closest to the low track. It is possible that none of the forecast area sees rainfall depending on the low track and the dry air in place from the high pressure.

The better chance for showers and thunderstorms appears to be Monday afternoon and evening as the surface cold front and upper energy track across the area. The Storm Prediction Center has placed much of the area in a Marginal Risk for severe weather with damaging winds being the primary threat. It is likely that timing of the front will determine the severe weather threat.

Temperatures will be cooler Sunday and Monday due to more cloud cover and shower activity. Highs will likely remain in the 70s both days.

LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/. An upper level trough will reside over the region through much of the long term, with ridging ensuing for later in the period.

A check of several GEFs parameters shows most variables (PWAT, 850mb T, 500mb T, 500mb heights) remaining near normal.

The blended forecast yields a dry week with only Thursday and Friday showing only low chance/slight chances of precipitation. Our forecast does not deviate from the blended forecast. However, it would not be out of the question to see some diurnally driven afternoon showers on Tuesday and Wednesday under the trough. Instability parameters are quite low, so where there are chances of precipitation, only SHRA forecast.

Temperatures start out just about normal (80/58 at Albany). The trend is slightly upward through the week, with highs on Friday ranging from the mid 80s valley locations to 70s higher elevations. Dew points start out in the 50s with some 40s Adirondacks, then climb into the low 60s by Thursday.

AVIATION /15Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/. High pressure will continue to build southward across the TAF sites through today.

Mainly VFR conditions are expected through the TAF period.

However, conditions appear favorable for the development of IFR FG/BR at KGFL and KPSF. Have timed this for about 10-12Z. More or less clear skies and no winds should allows these sites to cool enough to allow for fog formation. Meanwhile, expecting KALB and KPOU to elude any IFR BR. Could see some 6SM BR at KALB around dawn.

Otherwise expecting VFR conditions through the remainder of the forecast period.

Outlook .

Sunday Night: Low Operational Impact. Slight Chance of SHRA. Monday: Moderate Operational Impact Scattered SHRA. TSRA. Monday Night: Moderate Operational Impact Scattered SHRA. TSRA. Tuesday: No Operational Impact. NO SIG WX. Tuesday Night: No Operational Impact. NO SIG WX. Wednesday: No Operational Impact. NO SIG WX. Wednesday Night: No Operational Impact. NO SIG WX. Thursday: Low Operational Impact. Isolated SHRA.

FIRE WEATHER. Beautiful weather to start the weekend with plenty of sunshine and seasonable temperatures. Slightly cooler Sunday and Monday with chances for showers both days.

Winds will be light. Minimum relatively humidity values will range from 40-55 percent this afternoon and 55-70 percent Sunday afternoon.

HYDROLOGY. Beautiful weather to start the weekend with plenty of sunshine and seasonable temperatures. Slightly cooler Sunday and Monday with chances for showers both days.

In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
