330 FXUS61 KALY 010606 AFDALY Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Albany NY 206 AM EDT Mon Jun 1 2026 .WHAT HAS CHANGED... Tuesday continues to trend drier. No other significant changes with this update. && .KEY MESSAGES... 1) Except for some isolated showers today, mainly dry weather is expected for the upcoming week with temperatures trending upward each day. && .DISCUSSION... KEY MESSAGE 1... An omega block continues to be in place across the CONUS with the ridge across the central US and upper troughs across the Northeast and Northwest. With the upper trough in place, one more disturbance is expected to push across the area today through early Tuesday. With the cold pool aloft and weak, shallow instability (CAPE values generally less than 300 J/kg), some isolated to widely scattered showers will likely be around today. These showers will likely occur for areas east of the Hudson Valley as well as the eastern Catskills into the western Mohawk Valley where northeasterly flow will aid in some upslope enhancement in these areas. Overall QPF amounts will be fairly light and generally up to a few hundredths of an inch. A rumble of thunder cannot be ruled out within any shower but overall coverage should be rather sparse. Elsewhere, expect a partly to mostly sunny day with temperatures reaching the 60s to low 70s. The omega block begins to break down tomorrow through the end of the week as the ridge and surface high pressure gradually build overhead. This will allow for a period of drier weather with temperatures trending upward each day through the end of the week. High temperatures by Friday should reach into the 80s to lower 90s for most areas except for some upper 70s across the higher elevations. Humidity levels will remain in the comfortable range through the week with dewpoints only climbing into the 50s by Friday. There continues to be some uncertainty when the next chance for showers and thunderstorms arrive with run-to-run inconsistency in the longer range guidance, but most are indicating at least some increased chances at some point next weekend. Will continue to monitor trends through the week. && .AVIATION /06Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... Through 06z/Monday...Mixed flying conditions are expected for the rest of tonight as mid/high level clouds along with scattered showers move out to the south resulting in partly cloudy to mostly clear conditions for the remainder of tonight. This will allow for some mist/fog to form with the greatest chance for IFR/LIFR fog and lower stratus at KGFL and KPSF from about 06z to 10z early this morning. MVFR mist is also likely at KALB and KPOU until about 11z/12z with ceilings in the 1500 ft to 2000 ft AGL range. VFR conditions should return after 12z across all the terminals as daytime sun burns off any lingering fog. Few and scattered low level cumulus will pass through today as the upper level trough moves through. Model soundings suggest skies will become clear between 02z- 04z across the region tonight. Current winds are generally light 5 kt or less and variable before becoming 5-10 kt out of the north/northeast by sunrise. By this evening after 02z winds decrease and become calm. Outlook... Tuesday to Friday Night: No Operational Impact. NO SIG WX. Saturday: Low Operational Impact. Slight Chance of SHRA...TSRA. && .ALY WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... CT...None. NY...None. MA...None.
