141 FXUS61 KALY 271120 AFDALY AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Albany NY 720 AM EDT Fri Sep 27 2024 .SYNOPSIS... High pressure will remain centered over New England resulting in dry conditions and above normal temperatures through early next week. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... GOES-East nighttime microphysics imagery and surface observations indicate that pockets of fog have developed this morning across the southern Adirondacks, northern Taconics, and northern Berkshires. While some observing sites have reported visibilities reduced to a quarter mile, imagery from area skycams suggests that these pockets of dense fog are extremely isolated. The pockets of fog are expected to persist over 3-4 hours before mixing out after sunrise. High pressure building southeastward in the wake of yesterday`s surface front will result in drier and warmer conditions today. This area of high pressure will result in very light winds overnight tonight. However, high level clouds associated with the tropical moister from Hurricane Helene is expected to inhibit a more favorable setup for radiational cooling and fog development. && .SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/... High pressure will remain centered over New England on Saturday resulting in another dry day with above normal temperatures. Increasing PWATs and advection of cyclonic vorticity from the south will support a low chance (less than 20%) of light rain showers from I-90 south and west late Saturday afternoon. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... Lgt shwr chances will continue for southern portions of the fcst area early Sunday as moisture associated with Helene remains in the area. As the daylight hours progress, precip chances should retreat to our southwest as sfc high pressure and associated ridge axis shift further south into southern New England. Dry weather will then continue through the day on Monday before shwr chances increase once again on Tuesday as moisture associated with Helene remnants lifts north ahead of an approaching cold front to our northwest. This will set the stage for continued shwr chances through Wednesday before high pressure builds in on Thursday. Temperatures will start out slightly above normal early in the period with highs reaching the low to mid 70s for vly locations both Sunday and Monday. Cooler temps are then expected to close out the period as rain chances increase and cooler air moves in behind Wednesday`s cold front. && .AVIATION /11Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... Fog and low clouds that developed overnight is expected to mix out from 12Z-14Z and give way to VFR conditions throughout the day. Conditions could support the development of fog again early Saturday morning. However, the probability of operational impacts currently looks to be less than 30% and no mention was included in the TAFs. Outlook... Friday Night: No Operational Impact. NO SIG WX. Saturday: No Operational Impact. NO SIG WX. Saturday Night: Low Operational Impact. NO SIG WX. Sunday: No Operational Impact. NO SIG WX. Sunday Night: No Operational Impact. Patchy FG.
