205 FXUS61 KBGM 051332 AFDBGM Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Binghamton NY 932 AM EDT Sun May 5 2024 .SYNOPSIS... Showers across the region will end late today or this evening. On Monday high pressure builds in with dry weather that lasts into Tuesday. Low pressure systems will bring additional showers from Wednesday through the end of next week. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/... Adjusted the coverage of forecasted showers a bit to account for a dry slot in the Finger Lakes with the mid morning update. 6am update... Just very minor changes. Forecast going as planned. 3 am update... Rain has moved into the entire area now and will continue into the afternoon as a slow moving warm front moves east. The front will push through this afternoon. Tonight rain showers will be lighter as a dying front moves through with limited moisture. Monday there could be a few lingering light showers from the southern tier into NEPA. Rainfall totals will be around half an inch for most but along I90 in Oneida County amounts could be over an inch. In Oneida a little better low level convergence and lift. Still nothing to worry about in respect to flooding. Highs today in the 50s for most but some clearing may get into the central southern tier and Finger Lakes late afternoon so highs there around 60. Tonight lows from the upper 40s to mid 50s. Monday more sunshine so highs from the upper 60s to the mid 70s. && .SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/... 4 AM Update... High pressure building in Monday night will lead to clearing skies with light northerly winds. This will set us up for a relatively chilly night, with lows dipping into the lower-40s across portions of CNY. Noticed the old MET MOS guidance is going for 37 at ITH, and the NBM 5th Percentile also indicates upper-30s across a wider area. This is likely a little on the low side, though sheltered valleys could drop just below 40. Southerly flow will bring a quick rebound in temperatures on Tuesday, which is shaping up to be a fine day across the whole area, as highs reach well into the 70s with light winds and Mostly Sunny skies. Clouds will begin to increase Tuesday evening as weak low pressure heads across the Lower Great Lakes. A warm front ahead of this system will bring some rain showers to the area Tuesday night. && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... 4 AM Update... Showers will lift north towards the Thruway along with the warm front early Wednesday, but with weak low pressure drifting ESE across NY state, the cold front won`t be far behind, spreading showers and a few embedded thunderstorms across the area later Wednesday morning into early afternoon. Lowered temperatures a few degrees north of the Twin Tiers where precip will be more prevalent. Otherwise, we still look to hold onto 70s Wednesday across the region. The Wednesday system will usher in a rather unsettled period with temperatures cooling through the weekend. The next system looks to bring widespread rain showers to the area Thursday as low pressure slowly moves across the Ohio Valley, and weak low pressure develops off the Delmarva Peninsula. Low pressure looks to stall out across the lower Great Lakes heading into the weekend, with possible further coastal low development helping to keep precip slung back across the area. Rain showers look to continue into the weekend, and highs on Saturday could well be stuck in the 50s. && .AVIATION /14Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... 640 AM Update... MVFR/IFR will continue through 12z Monday. All sites IFR cigs late tonight. Vsbys could drop to IFR in periods of moderate to heavy rain today then in fog late tonight. SYR is VFR but should drop to fuel alternate MVFR around 14z then stay there all day. SYR drops to IFR around 03z. RME/ITH/ELM is already fuel alt but will drop to IFR around 15z and stay there through tonight. BGM is IFR and will stay that way through tonight. AVP like most of the rest is fuel alt and will fall to IFR cig around 14z and remain there through tonight. Southeast winds mostly at 5 to 10 kts today except ITH/BGM 10 gust 20. Tonight winds go light to calm at all sites. Outlook... Monday...Lingering Ceiling restrictions in the morning, then becoming VFR. Monday Night and Tuesday...Mainly VFR expected. Tuesday night through Thursday... Periods of showers with some restrictions. && .BGM WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... PA...None. NY...None. && $$ SYNOPSIS...MWG/TAC NEAR TERM...MWG/TAC SHORT TERM...MPH LONG TERM...MPH AVIATION...TAC
