DISCUSSION
KEY MESSAGE 1...
TEMPERATURES WILL BE PLEASANT TODAY BEHIND THE PASSAGE OF A
COLD FRONT. HOWEVER, HIGH PRESSURE THAT MOVES OVER THE REGION
MONDAY AND TUESDAY GIVES WAY TO A WARM AND MOIST SOUTHWESTERLY
FLOW. BOUNDARY LAYER TEMPERATURES ARE MODELED TO BE ON A FAIRLY
SHARP INCREASE HEADING INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. CURRENT
VALUES WOULD SUGGEST HIGH TEMPERATURES IN VALLEY LOCATIONS
GETTING INTO THE LOW 90'S WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. THE INCREASE
IN MOISTURE WILL LEAD TO A GRADUAL INCREASE WITH LOW
TEMPERATURES WITH MUGGY READINGS FOR THE MIDDLE AND END OF THE
WEEK.
OUR NBM GUIDANCE HAS DEMONSTRATED A NATIONWIDE WARM BIAS SO FAR
THIS SEASON AND SUSPECT THAT IS THE CASE FOR THE UPCOMING WEEK
AS WELL. RECENT NBM RUNS HAVE FEATURED HIGHS IN THE MID AND
UPPER 90'S FOR PORTIONS OF THE AREA WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY
WHICH IS WARMER THAN THE WARMEST ECMWF ENSEMBLE MEMBER. THE NBM
VALUES WOULD PUSH MOST LOCATIONS WELL INTO ADVISORY CRITERIA FOR
THE HEAT INDEX VALUES EACH DAY WHICH IS NOT EXPECTED AT THIS
TIME. ANY THUNDERSTORMS WOULD ALSO TREND TEMPERATURES DOWNWARD
AS WELL IN THIS TIMEFRAME.
KEY MESSAGE 2...
A FEW SHOWERS ARE STILL POSSIBLE TODAY AS AN UPPER LEVEL LOW
PASSES THROUGH THE REGION. HIGH PRESSURE OVER OUR REGION SHOULD
KEEP MONDAY AND TUESDAY DRY. A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE IS MODELED
TO MOVE INTO THE REGION WEDNESDAY. ENOUGH LIFT AND INSTABILITY
SHOULD BE PRESENT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SOME SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS. HEIGHTS RISE A BIT ON THURSDAY BUT THERE SHOULD
STILL BE ENOUGH LIFT FOR ISOLATED TO SCATTERED ACTIVITY. A MORE
ORGANIZED COLD FRONT THEN IS MODELED TO MOVE TOWARD THE AREA
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY INCREASING THE CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS AGAIN. SHEAR MAY END UP TOO MARGINAL FOR ANY
STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS BUT IT IS STILL SEVERAL DAYS AWAY
WITH TYPICAL TIMING UNCERTAINITIES WITH THE VARIOUS FEATURES.
AVIATION /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/
MVFR CLOUDS LINGERING OVER RME/SYR/ITH SHOULD IMPROVE TO VFR
AROUND 22-00Z, AS WELL AS THE CURRENT WIND GUSTS ACROSS ALL
TERMINALS.
SOME FOG DEVELOPMENT IS POSSIBLE FOR ELM AND ITH BETWEEN 08Z AND
12Z, AND A TEMPO GROUP HAS BEEN INCLUDED. ALTHOUGH IT'S POSSIBLE
AT BGM, CONFIDENCE WAS TOO LOW TO INCLUDE A TEMPO GROUP FOR THE
18Z PACKAGE AND WILL BE RE-EVALUATED AT THE 00Z PACKAGE.
OUTLOOK:
MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...MAINLY VFR.
WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
MAY BRING OCCASIONAL RESTRICTIONS.
