AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
1230 PM EST FRI DEC 14 2007

.SYNOPSIS...
THE STORM THAT BROUGHT OUR FIRST MAJOR SNOWSTORM OF THE SEASON HAS
MOVED WELL TO OUR EAST. ANOTHER COLD FRONT TO THE WEST WILL MOVE
ACROSS NEW YORK STATE AND NEW ENGLAND DURING THE AFTERNOON. ANOTHER
SURGE OF ARCTIC AIR WILL MOVE IN TONIGHT AND HIGH PRESSURE WILL
CREST JUST TO OUR NORTH LATE SATURDAY. THEN...LOW PRESSURE WILL
APPROACH FROM THE OHIO VALLEY...REFORM ALONG THE MID ATLANTIC COAST
AND TRACK ALONG OR JUST INSIDE THE COASTLINE UP INTO NEW ENGLAND.
THIS STORM WILL BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF HEAVY SNOW OR A HEAVY WINTRY
MIX ON SUNDAY INTO MONDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6PM SATURDAY/...
FOR TODAY...HAVE INCREASED POPS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN ADIRONDACK
REGION...AND INCREASED POPS WELL INTO THE CHC RANGE FOR AREAS N/W OF
THE CAPITAL REGION...AS INCREASED LIFT AHEAD OF COLD FRONT PERSISTS.
IN ADDITION...LOW LEVEL WARM ADVECTION IS OCCURRING...ENHANCING THE
LOWER LEVEL LIFT. THIS HAS RESULTED IN AN AREA OF LIGHT SNOW/SNOW
GRAINS ACROSS NW AREAS...WITH SPOTTIER LIGHT SNOW CLOSER TO THE
CAPITAL REGION. SOME PATCHY FREEZING DRIZZLE IS ALSO
POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE
BERKS/SOUTHERN GREENS. BASED ON THIS MORNING/S 12Z SOUNDING...CLOUD
DEPTH IS RATHER SHALLOW...WITH CLOUD TOP TEMPERATURES BETWEEN -9C
AND -11C...THUS SOME SUPERCOOLED DROPLETS IN CLOUD...RATHER THAN
MAINLY ICE CRYSTALS AND SUBSEQUENT SNOW.

ADDITIONAL SNOW SHOWERS...AND PERHAPS AN EMBEDDED HEAVIER SNOW
SQUALL IS POSSIBLE WITH PASSAGE OF ARCTIC FRONT LATER THIS AFTERNOON
OR EARLY EVENING.

ALTHOUGH TEMPS ARE STILL RUNNING RATHER LOW...AS COLD ADVECTION
DEVELOPS WITHIN THE 925-850 MB LAYER THIS AFTERNOON...THIS SHOULD
STEEPEN LAPSE RATES...AND ALLOW STRONG LOW LEVEL INVERSION TO
BREAK...AND TEMPS TO SPIKE UPWARD EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. THUS...WILL
NOT CHANGE FORECAST MAXES AT THIS TIME...WHICH ARE GENERALLY IN THE
MID/UPPER 30S IN THE VALLEYS...TO NEAR 40 IN THE MID HUDSON VALLEY.

TONIGHT THE FLOW WILL EVENTUALLY BECOME TOO NORTHERLY FOR ANY
ADDITIONAL LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS TO AFFECT OUR AREA. LOOK FOR
TEMPERATURES TO PLUMMET BACK DOWN INTO THE TEENS AND SINGLE NUMBERS
(FEW SUB ZERO READINGS IN THE ADIRONDACKS).

A QUIET BUT COLD DAY ON TAP SATURDAY AS TEMPERATURES STRUGGLE TO
REACH BACK INTO THE 20S (TEENS FAR NORTH). THE DAY SHOULD START OUT
MAINLY CLEAR...BUT HIGH CLOUDS...WELL IN ADVANCE OF THE DEVELOPING
WEEKEND STORM...WILL BE STREAMING IN LATER ON.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6PM SATURDAY UNTIL 12Z MONDAY/...

THE MODELS HAVE CONSISTENTLY FORECASTED A MERGER OF ENERGY FROM THE
SOUTHERN AND NORTHERN JETSTREAM ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST CONUS...WHICH
THEN FORMS A STORM IN THE SOUTH CENTRAL STATES BY SATURDAY. THIS
STORM WILL THEN IN TURN...TAP INTO DEEP GULF OF MEXICO MOISTURE AND
INITIALLY TRACK TO THE WEST OF THE APPALACHIANS SATURDAY NIGHT. AS
THE STORM ENCOUNTERS THE ARCTIC AIR MASS...FIRMLY ENTRENCHED OVER
THE NORTHEAST...A SECONDARY LOW WILL FORM SOMEWHERE IN EASTERN
VIRGINIA WHILE THE MAIN BALL OF ENERGY FOUND IN THE MID LEVELS OF
THE ATMOSPHERE APPEARS TO CONTINUE TRACK NORTHEAST ALONG THE
APPALACHIANS.

THE UPPER AIR JET STRUCTURE DOES NOT REALLY SEEM THAT IMPRESSIVE TO
US AND IN FACT...THE H250 HPA STANDARD DEVIATION FORECASTED FROM
THE GFES MEMBERS IN ONLY AN ORDER OF 2. WHAT IS MORE IMPRESSIVE WITH
THIS UPCOMING STORM IS THE H800 HPA EASTERLY WIND ANOMALIES...NOW AS
HIGH AS STANDARD DEVIATION OF -5

THE 09Z SREF PLUMES RANGE FROM ABOUT 0.5 TO OVER 2 INCHES WITH THE
QPF...WITH A MEAN OF ABOUT AN INCH AND A HALF. MOST MEMBERS STILL
SHOW MOSTLY SNOW. HOWEVER...LOOKING AT THE SOUNDINGS OFF BOTH THE
00Z GFS AND NAM SUGGEST A LOT OF MIXING TO SLEET OVER THE CAPITAL
REGION LATER ON SUNDAY. BOTH THE NAM AND GFS TRACK THE SECONDARY LOW
STORM TO THE WEST OF THE COASTLINE...VERY CLOSE TO THE I-95
CORRIDOR. SUCH A TRACK USUALLY FAVORS SOME TYPE OF MIXING TO AT
LEAST ALBANY...IF NOT FURTHER NORTH. THE H500/700 HPA COMPONENTS OF
THE STORM ARE FORECAST TO INITIALLY TRACK TO OUR NORTHWEST...BEFORE
REFORMING JUST TO OUR NORTHEAST.

A PAST STORM WITH A SIMILAR SETUP (NOT IDENTICAL)...WAS BACK ON
DECEMBER 15,2003. IN THIS CASES...A LOT OF MORE MIXING OF SLEET TOOK
PLACE FURTHER NORTH THAN INITIALLY THOUGHT...CUTTING DOWN
ACCUMULATIONS...EXCEPT UP NORTH AND WEST OF ALBANY WHERE OVER 20
INCHES FELL.

WE FEEL INCREASINGLY CONFIDENT THAT THIS COULD BE THE PLIGHT OF THIS
STORM...MOST SNOWFALL FROM SAY AN AMSTERDAM-WARRENSBURG LINE ON
NORTHWEST WHERE WELL OVER A FOOT COULD FALL...VARYING AMOUNTS OF MIX
FROM THE LINE DOWN PAST THE CAPITAL DISTRICT KEEPING ACCUMULATIONS
AROUND A FOOT OR A LITTLE LESS. SOUTHEAST OF SAY A NEW
PALTZ-HUDSON-NORTH ADAMS LINE...MORE SLEET AND EVEN FREEZING RAIN
MIGHT FALL WITH THIS STORM CAUSING LIGHTER SNOW ACCUMULATIONS...BUT
SIGNIFICANT ICING.

OF COURSE...THE ABOVE THINKING ASSUMES A SURFACE TRACK NEAR THE I-95
CORRIDOR...AND THAT TRACK IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE. SO FAR...MOST MODELS
HAVE BEEN PRETTY CONSISTENT WITH THE ABOVE TRACK.

WITH INCREASING CONFIDENCE THAT A SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM WILL
IMPACT OUR REGION (HEAVY SNOW NORTH/SIGNIFICANT ICE SOUTH) WE HAVE
ALREADY HOISTED A WINTER STORM WATCH THAT BASICALLY INCLUDES ALL OF
SUNDAY.

WINDS MIGHT BECOME A PROBLEM WITH THIS STORM...MAINLY OVER THE
ELEVATED TERRAIN...INCLUDING LITCHFIELD COUNTY. THIS COUNTY IS
PROBABLY THE MOST VULNERABLE TO POTENTIAL POWER OUTAGES SINCE THE
THREAT OF FREEZING RAIN IS HIGHEST THERE AND WINDS COULD GUST TO SAY
30 MPH OR BETTER. DRIFTING AND BLOWING SNOW COULD BE A REAL PROBLEM
IN THE NORTHWEST...ESPECIALLY OVER THE SOUTHERN ADIRONDACKS AND
SOUTHERN GREENS.

SO SUM IT ALL UP...AN INITIAL BURST OF MODERATE TO POSSIBLY HEAVY
SNOW LOOKS TO MOVE INTO THE REGION BY SUNRISE SUNDAY...EVENTUALLY
TRANSITIONING TO A WINTRY MESS FROM ALBANY SOUTHWARD AS THE DAY
WEARS ON. AN EASTERLY WIND WILL INCREASED MARKEDLY OVER THE ELEVATED
TERRAIN AND MOHAWK VALLEY. THE HUDSON VALLEY WILL LIKELY HAVE THE
USUAL NORTH WIND...BUT COULD GO BRIEFLY EAST FOR A TIME.
MEANWHILE...AN IMPRESSIVE BAND WILL LIKELY SETUP TO THE NORTHWEST OF
ALBANY...WHERE UP TO 3 INCHES AN HOUR COULD ACCUMULATE FOR A COUPLE
OF HOURS. AS THE SECONDARY STORM WINDS UP AND MOVES TO OUR
EAST...COLDER AIR WILL QUICKLY CHANGE ANY MIXED PRECIPITATION TO
SNOW BEFORE ENDING SOMETIME LATE SUNDAY NIGHT OR EARLY MONDAY
MORNING.

THE CAPITAL DISTRICT WILL LIKELY EXPERIENCE SOME MOHAWK HUDSON
CONVERGENCE SUNDAY EVENING...ADDING A POSSIBLE INCH OR TWO OF MORE
SNOW.

THE WIND WILL TURN NORTHWEST AND COULD GUST OVER 30 MPH...ESPECIALLY
ACROSS ELEVATED TERRAIN AND DOWN THE MOHAWK VALLEY INTO THE CAPITAL
DISTRICT.

NEEDLESS TO SAY THIS WILL BE A COMPLICATED AND FAIRLY LONG DURATION
STORM.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
MAINLY DRY BUT VERY COLD CONDITIONS DEVELOPING LATE MONDAY AND
TUESDAY IN WAKE OF MAJOR STORM. HIGHS MONDAY GENERALLY IN THE UPPER
TEENS TO LOWER 30S...BUT LOWS MONDAY NIGHT WITH CLEARING SKIES AND
FRESH SNOW COVER EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM 10 BELOW TO 10 ABOVE ZERO
MOST AREAS WITH HIGHS ON TUESDAY ONLY IN THE TEENS TO MID 20S MOST
AREAS. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS FA MONDAY NIGHT AND REMAIN
INTO TUESDAY. ANY LAKE EFFECT EXPECTED TO JUST CLIP FAR WESTERN
PORTION OF FA AS LOW LEVEL FLOW EXPECTED TO BE NORTHWEST.

A CLIPPER SYSTEM DROPS QUICKLY SOUTHEAST FROM UPPER GREAT LAKES
TUESDAY NIGHT AND SWEEPS ACROSS FA LATE WEDNESDAY BRINGING SOME
LIGHT SNOW TO THE REGION WITH MAYBE A FEW INCHES OF ACCUMULATION
POSSIBLE AT THIS POINT ONLY HAVE SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE POPS IN
FORECAST AS THIS FAR OUT IN FORECAST CYCLE EXACT TIMING AND TRACK IS
HIGHLY UNCERTAIN.

DRY WEATHER THEN EXPECTED ON THURSDAY WHICH LOOKS TO LAST THROUGH
THURSDAY NIGHT BEFORE ANOTHER COMPLEX STORM SYSTEM INCLUDING A
DOUBLE BARREL LOW WHICH TRIES TO GO NEGATIVE TILT MAY IMPACT FA
HEADING INTO NEXT WEEKEND.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH AT LEAST 00Z/SUN AT ALL TAF SITES.
HOWEVER...AS ARCTIC FRONT PASSES THROUGH REGION BETWEEN
22Z-02Z...THERE IS A SMALL CHANCE FOR SNOW SHOWERS/FLURRIES ACROSS
NORTHERN TERMINALS. THIS COULD LEAD TO A BRIEF PERIOD OF MVFR/IFR
CIGS/VSBYS...BUT DUE TO OVERALL LOW PROBABILITY AND SMALL AREAL
COVERAGE...WILL NOT INCLUDE MENTION IN 18Z/TAFS.

TRICKIEST PORTION OF FORECAST IS ACTUALLY THE WINDS THROUGH
20Z/FRI...AS PERSISTENT S WINDS ARE OCCURRING AT KALB AND KGFL.
EXPECT THESE WINDS TO VEER INTO THE W BY 20Z...AND INCREASE TO 10-20
KT...WITH SOME EMBEDDED STRONGER GUSTS POSSIBLE UP TO 25 KT AT KALB.
ELSEWHERE...WINDS ARE ALREADY FROM THE W TO NW AT KPOU...AND THESE
SHOULD CONTINUE INTO THIS AFTERNOON. FOR TONIGHT...WINDS WILL VEER
INTO THE NNW TO N BEHIND ARCTIC FRONT...WITH SPEEDS OF 5-10
KT...EXCEPT POSSIBLY REMAINING SLIGHTLY STRONGER AT KALB. LIGHT N
WINDS WILL BECOME NE AFTER 12Z/SAT...WITH SPEEDS LESS THAN 10 KT.

SAT...VFR. NO SIG WX.
SAT NIGHT TO SUN...LIFR WITH SN/+SN LIKELY...MIXED WITH SLEET AND
FZRA SOUTH.
MON...VFR EXCEPT MVFR IN LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS.
TUE...VFR. NO SIG WX.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
NO HYDRO PROBLEMS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH AT LEAST THE MIDDLE OF NEXT
WEEK.

THE PRECIPITATION WHICH FELL THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY NIGHT WAS ALL
SNOW WITH AMOUNTS RANGING FROM A FEW INCHES TO JUST OVER A FOOT.
LIQUID EQUIVALENTS RANGED FROM A COUPLE OF TENTHS TO JUST OVER AN
INCH. HEAVY PRECIPITATION MAINLY OF THE FROZEN OR FREEZING VARIETY
IS EXPECTED LATE SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY NIGHT. WHILE QPF AMOUNTS
OF 1 TO 2 INCHES ARE EXPECTED DUE TO PTYPE BEING FROZEN OR FREEZING
LITTLE RUNOFF IS EXPECTED EXCEPT FAR SOUTHEAST PORTION OF FA WHERE A
CHANGEOVER TO RAIN MAY OCCUR FOR A FEW HOURS SUNDAY AFTERNOON OR
SUNDAY EVENING. SHOULD THE STORM TRACK FURTHER N AND W THAN
CURRENTLY EXPECTED...THEN SOME RAIN AND RIVER RISES COULD RESULT BY
SUNDAY EVENING.
