GEORGE AND SARATOGA SPRINGS REGION...THE CAPITAL DISTRICT...SOUTHERN
VERMONT...THE NORTHERN BERKSHIRES...THE UPPER MOHAWK VALLEY AND
THE SCHOHARIE VALLEY. THE HEAVY SNOW WARNING HAS BEEN CANCELLED.

A RAPIDLY STRENGTHENING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM ALONG THE MID ATLANTIC
COAST WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE NORTHEAST...REACHING THE SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND COAST BY TONIGHT. THIS STORM WILL PRODUCE VERY HEAVY
SNOWFALL ACROSS OUR AREA...ESPECIALLY FROM LATER THIS MORNING INTO
THE EVENING HOURS. IN ADDITION...WINDS WILL INCREASE...PRODUCING
WIDESPREAD BLOWING AND DRIFTING OF SNOW BY THIS AFTERNOON...AND
CONTINUING THROUGH TONIGHT. THIS WILL CREATE BLIZZARD CONDITIONS
ACROSS THE AREA...ESPECIALLY FROM THIS AFTERNOON INTO EARLY TONIGHT.

FOR AREAS NORTH OF THE MOHAWK RIVER...AND ACROSS NORTHERN
BENNINGTON AND WINDHAM COUNTIES IN VERMONT...3 TO 6 INCHES OF
SNOWFALL WILL ALREADY BE ON THE GROUND BY DAYBREAK. FOR AREAS
SOUTH OF THE MOHAWK RIVER...INCLUDING THE GREATER CAPITAL
DISTRICT...2 TO 4 INCHES WILL BE ON THE GROUND BY DAYBREAK. A
BRIEF LULL IN THE SNOWFALL WILL OCCUR THROUGH MID MORNING ACROSS

ONE INCH PER HOUR. IN ADDITION...SOME SLEET COULD MIX IN AT
TIMES...ESPECIALLY SOUTH AND EAST OF THE CAPITAL DISTRICT.

THE SNOW WILL THEN RAPIDLY INCREASE IN INTENSITY ONCE AGAIN DURING

TONIGHT. SNOWFALL RATES OF 1 TO 3 INCHES PER HOUR WILL DEVELOP
DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS...WITH SOME HIGHER RATES POSSIBLE AT
TIMES. ROADS MAY BECOME IMPASSABLE LATER TODAY INTO TONIGHT...AS
THESE HIGHER SNOWFALL RATES DEVELOP.

WINDS WILL ALSO INCREASE THIS AFTERNOON...WITH SUSTAINED SPEEDS OF
20 TO 30 MPH...AND SOME GUSTS REACHING OR EXCEEDING 40 MPH. THIS
WILL CREATE BLIZZARD CONDITIONS...WHICH WILL LAST INTO TONIGHT.

THE SNOW IS EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY TAPER OFF TO SNOW SHOWERS AFTER
MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. HOWEVER...STRONG WINDS WILL LIKELY ALLOW
CONSIDERABLE BLOWING AND DRIFTING OF SNOW TO PERSIST INTO EARLY
THURSDAY MORNING. 

IN ADDITION...TEMPERATURES WILL PLUMMET TO NEAR ZERO BY EARLY
THURSDAY MORNING. THIS COLD...COUPLED WITH STRONG GUSTY
WINDS...COULD DRIVE WIND CHILL VALUES DOWN TO DANGEROUS LEVELS.

AS THE SNOW WINDS DOWN LATER WEDNESDAY NIGHT...PROJECTED TOTAL
STORM SNOWFALL AMOUNTS ARE EXPECTED TO BE BETWEEN 15 AND 30
INCHES...WITH SOME HIGH TERRAIN LOCALITIES POSSIBLY GETTING
AMOUNTS IN EXCESS OF THREE FEET.

A BLIZZARD WARNING MEANS SEVERE WINTER WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED OR OCCURRING. FALLING AND BLOWING SNOW WITH STRONG WINDS
AND POOR VISIBILITIES ARE LIKELY. THIS WILL LEAD TO WHITEOUT
CONDITIONS...MAKING TRAVEL EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. DO NOT TRAVEL. IF
YOU MUST...HAVE A WINTER SURVIVAL KIT WITH YOU. IF YOU GET

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
525 PM EST MON FEB 12 2007

.SYNOPSIS...
AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT THAT MOVED THROUGH THE REGION MONDAY...WILL
USHER MUCH COLDER AIR BACK INTO THE REGION TONIGHT AN MONDAY. A LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE FROM THE TENNESSEE VALLEY TO OFF THE
MIDDLE ATLANTIC COAST TUESDAY NIGHT...THEN TRACK NEAR THE NEW
ENGLAND COAST WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THIS LOW IS EXPECTED TO
TRACK CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND COAST TO POTENTIALLY
GIVE MUCH OF EASTERN NEW YORK AND ADJACENT WESTERN NEW ENGLAND
SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. SOME MIXING WITH
SLEET IS POSSIBLE ACROSS SOUTHEAST PORTIONS OF OUR REGION.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE WILL DOMINATE TONIGHT AND TUESDAY WITH
DRY BUT VERY COLD AIR. THE POTENTIAL MEGA STORM WILL CAUSE SNOW TO
BREAK OUT ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA WITHIN A FEW HOURS OF MIDNIGHT
TUESDAY NIGHT...THEN CONTINUE THROUGH WEDNESDAY AND TAPER OFF
WEDNESDAY NIGHT. HEAVIEST SNOW LIKELY ON WEDNESDAY AS THE OFFSHORE
LOW INTENSIFIES RAPIDLY AND PRODUCES THE BEST FRONTOGENETIC FORCING
OVER THE FORECAST AREA.

FROM THE 12Z RUNS...PREFERED MODELS WERE THE ECMWF/UKMET DUE TO
THEIR SUPERIOR REPRESENTATION OF KEEPING THE STORM TRACK CLOSER TO
THE COAST AND CLOSER TO THE THERMAL GRADIENT...AND THEY WERE MORE
CONSISTENT WITH ANY CONCEPTUAL MODELS FROM PAST CSTAR STUDIES OF
DEVELOPING COASTAL STORMS AND ASSOCIATED HEAVY SNOW BAND LOCATIONS.
18Z GFS/WRF SOLUTIONS NOW LOOK VERY SIMILAR TO THE 12Z UKMET/ECMWF
SCENARIOS.

WILL CONTINUE WITH A WINTER STORM WATCH FOR THIS EVENT. FOR MOST OF
THE AREA IT LOOKS FAIRLY CERTAIN THAT WARNING CRITERIA WILL BE
MET...BUT STILL SOME POTENTIAL FOR NOT GETTING ENOUGH SNOW ACROSS
THE NORTHERN FRINGE OF THE AREA...OR GETTING MIXED PCPN ACROSS THE
SOUTH...TO JUSTIFY HOLDING OFF ON ISSUEING ANY WARNINGS FOR THE
FORECAST AREA. AT THIS TIME...ONSET OF SNOW IS STILL ALMOST 36 HOURS
AWAY WITH A FULL WORK DAY ON TUESDAY FOR THE PUBLIC TO RESPOND TO
ANY WARNINGS ISSUED THIS EVENING OR ON THE MIDNIGHT SHIFT.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
FORECAST AREA ENTRENCHED IN ARCTIC AIR/NORTHWEST FLOW DURING THE
PERIOD WITH NOTHING MORE THAN LAKE EFFECT OR WEAK CLIPPER LIKE
SYSTEMS TO DEAL WITH. WIND CHILL THREAT WILL ALOS NEED TO BE
CONSIDERED...ESPECIALLY EARLY IN THIS PERIOD SINCE THE INTENSE LOW
OVER EASTERN CANADA WILL LIKELY MAINTAIN A STRONG GRADIENT OVER THE
REGION THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT. TOWARD THE END OF THE PERIOD...MILDER
AIR IS FORECAST TO BE APPROACHING FROM THE WEST.
