Observed and model soundings
Notes:
The observed 12z soundings from Buffalo and Pittsburgh indicated lots of dry air at low levels and aloft (especially at Pittsburgh). An inverted V sounding is indicated at Pittsburgh, while an inverted V sounding would be likely at Buffalo with sufficient low level mixing. Wind fields associated with both soundings were strong, with a 50 kt southwesterly flow indicated between 850 and 700 mb. The RUC forecast sounding for Binghamton (right) valid at 19z indicated dry low levels with a subtle inverted V temperature / moisture profile.
