All, We have a warm/stationary front stalled across NY state right now running roughly Syracuse to Elmira. A warm humid summery air mass is flowing northeast through the Ohio Valley and encountering this colder air mass east of the front in NY. At work, before I left, I was still detecting migration with our new Dual Polar radar products and the migration stopped like a wall just east of this front....near Ithaca! Tonight the front might creep farther east but it is expected to remain stationary through 2 am at least....possibly later. There will be continued southwesterly winds of warm/humid air coming up the Ohio Valley tonight. I believe there will be a huge influx of more migrants that will be raining down again as we saw this morning as they encounter low cloud ceilings, and chillier air east of this front. So tomorrow likely will be another huge day east of this front where there are low clouds around. So keep an eye on the radars and satellite before going out tomorrow. you want lots of low clouds and even light drizzle.... that is where it will be raining birds!
I experienced a mini fallout early this morning. I saw at least 20 warbler sp. flying by low and fast into the woods just like fall at higbee beach and could not ID any of them as they were moving too fast. I had 9 species of warblers in my yard that I was able to id in 20 minutes before work that stopped in my yard. Of course I have to work again tomorrow...so those who can....get out an enjoy... and post!
