712 FXUS61 KBGM 101021 AFDBGM Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Binghamton NY 621 AM EDT Sun Aug 10 2025 .SYNOPSIS... High pressure will bring hot and dry conditions until mid week. A cold front will bring a chance for scattered showers and thunderstorms on Wednesday. High pressure returns for the end of the week and into next weekend. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/... 230 AM Update Quiet, warm summer weather continues through the near term period. High pressure will continue to bring sunny skies and very warm conditions. However, humidity levels will remain low, so heat indices will be at or below actual temperatures. Clear and calm weather persists Sunday night, with another strong diurnal temperature drop. Overnight lows dip down into the mid 50s to low-60s over the region, with more patchy valley fog around early Monday morning. Conditions on Monday will be quite similar to today, but temperatures will climb by a couple degrees. && .SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/... 230 AM update... High pressure remains through the short term period with more quiet/dry weather and warm temperatures. High temperatures in the lower 90s to possibly mid 90s across the region. However, humidity values will still be on the lower side, with dew point temperatures in the lower to mid 60s. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/... 230 AM update... High pressure will finally begin to break down and shift east Tuesday night into Wednesday, as a potent, fast- moving cold front swings through the Great Lakes and into the Northeast during the middle of the week. Showers ahead of this front will start to pop up across the region late Tue night, but showers and thunderstorms will be most widespread across the area on Wednesday afternoon. Showers and thunderstorms will likely contain heavy downpours with high PWAT values (1.5 to 2"). At this time, wind shear is looking weak, so not expecting severe thunderstorms, but with instability of 1500 to 2000 J/kg of CAPE and the juicy environment, a few strong storms will be possible with gusty winds as the main threat. Behind the front there is strong consensus that the air mass will become more stable and slightly cooler with highs generally in the 80s and lows in the lower 60s...with only a slight chance of rain showers Thu afternoon. Temperatures rebound slightly on Friday back into the mid 80s and should push even higher by next weekend, but with high pressure overhead, quiet conditions will persist. && .AVIATION /12Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... VFR conditions expected at all terminals over the next 24 hours. A dry air mass with high pressure in place will lead to clear skies and light winds. Outlook... Monday through Tuesday...VFR expected. Wednesday...MVFR possible at times due to Scattered SHRA/TSRA. Thursday...Mainly VFR; can`t rule out some isolated showers or tsra. && .BGM WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... PA...None. NY...None. && $$ SYNOPSIS...MPK/MJM NEAR TERM...MJM SHORT TERM...BJT/MPK LONG TERM...BJT/MPK AVIATION...AJG
