Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Binghamton NY
347 AM EDT Tue Jun 11 2024

.SYNOPSIS...
An upper level low will slowly shift east of the region today
leading to some clearing. High pressure will then build into the
region Wednesday and Thursday. This will followed by our next
chance for showers and thunderstorms ahead of a cold front
Friday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
A broad upper level low will gradually shift east of the region
through tonight. However, coupled with northerly/northwesterly flow
enough moisture looks to be trapped to keep clouds around most of
the day. The lift with the upper level low may still be
sufficient for a few sprinkles or isolated showers but any QPF
looks very light. Thanks to the clouds temperatures will
struggle to reach the mid and upper 60`s today.

Clouds will still be slowly clearing out tonight. This should
prevent fog from becoming dense or widespread as well with low
temperatures around 50. If clearing occurs quicker though fog
formation would be more widespread given the fairly light winds.
High pressure builds in for Wednesday yielding warmer temperatures
and more sunshine with temperatures likely well into the 70`s.

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
-- Changed Discussion --
345 AM Update...

High pressure Wednesday night through Thursday will keep
conditions dry, with a slight warm up heading into Thursday with
temperatures expected to be in the low to mid 80s. A front
stemming from an upper-level system approaches Central NY
Thursday night, bringing rain showers and slight chances for
thunderstorms into Central NY overnight Thursday. This front
will continue a southeastward progression heading into Friday.

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
-- Changed Discussion --
345 AM Update...

The aforementioned front will progress southeastward into
Central NY and into NE PA Friday. Chances for stronger storm
development is possible for NE PA and the Catskills Friday
afternoon as instability parameters increase. Clearing ahead of
the front due to the previous high pressure will aid in the
increasing chances for stronger storm development. Depending on
the speed of the front will determine where stronger storms may
develop. For instance, if the front is slower, stronger storm
development could occur a little more north and west of NE PA,
where sufficient clearing ahead of the front allows for
instability parameters to increase. Although long-range model
soundings show PWAT values between 1.0 and 1.5 in some areas
during the front`s passage, these showers and storms will move
quickly, so the chances for localized flash flooding is
currently low. Since this is a couple of days out, we`ll keep
monitoring front progress with each model run to narrow down
locations of interest for stronger storm development on Friday.

After Friday, high pressure builds in again, providing dry
conditions, and we see quite the warming trend. By the end of
the long term forecast period, temperatures are expected to
reach up to the high-80s, with some areas possibly seeing 90
degrees.
