NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
1215 PM EDT THU MAR 15 2007

.SHORT TERM /REST OF TODAY/...TEMPERATURES FALLING. UPDATED GRIDS
TO REMOVE THUNDER THREAT AND ADJUST TIMING OF PCPN. TEMPERATURES
FALLING OFF QUICKER THAN PREVIOUSLY EXPECTED. RELATED TO THAT
GREATER CHANCES FOR SNOW THIS AFTERNOON. FLOOD WATCH REMAINS POSTED.
HAVE SOME FLOODING AND ICE JAMS PROBLEMS ACROSS AREA...REFER TO
FLOOD WARNINGS AND STATEMENTS FOR DETAILS. NO CHANGES BEYOND THIS
AFTERNOON...WINTER STORM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED 603 AM EDT THU MAR 15 2007/

SYNOPSIS...
A WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE MOVING ALONG A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT
EXTENDING THROUGH CENTRAL NEW YORK EARLY THIS MORNING WILL SLOWLY
DRIFT SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA THIS MORNING. A SECOND COLD FRONT
ASSOCIATED WITH MUCH COLDER AIR WILL DROP SOUTHEAST THROUGH OUR
REGION THIS AFTERNOON. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRIEFLY BUILD IN
TONIGHT INTO EARLY FRIDAY. HOWEVER...A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP NEAR THE DELMARVA PENINSULA FRIDAY AND
STRENGTHEN AS IT TRACKS NORTHEAST TO JUST EAST OF LONG ISLAND
SATURDAY MORNING AND INTO THE GULF OF MAINE SATURDAY...POTENTIALLY
BRINGING SIGNIFICANT SNOW TO OUR REGION. DRIER WEATHER AND COLDER
TEMPERATURES ARE IN STORE FOR THE REST OF THE WEEKEND UNDER A
NORTHWEST FLOW REGIME.

SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
HYDRO CONCERNS TODAY WILL TRANSITION TO WINTER WEATHER CONCERNS
FRIDAY AFTERNOON INTO THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEKEND. SHOWERS AND
FEW RUMBLES OF THUNDER THIS MORNING WILL RESULT IN MORE HYDRO
PROBLEMS AS ICE JAMS ALREADY CAUSING SOME FLOODING AND WITH
SIGNIFICANT RISES FROM SNOWMELT HAVING ALREADY OCCURRED ON MANY
RIVERS AND STREAMS THE ADDITIONAL RAINFALL MAINLY A HALF INCH TO AN
INCH IN MANY AREAS THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON WILL ONLY EXACERBATE THE
PROBLEM. TEMPERATURES WILL BE FALLING THIS AFTERNOON WITH A LITTLE
SNOW IN THE MOUNTAINS BEFORE THE PRECIPITATION TAPERS OFF. AS
TEMPS CONTINUE TO FALL WELL BELOW FREEZING OVERNIGHT THE RUNOFF
WILL GRADUALLY TAPER OFF...BUT NOT BEFORE MORE FLOODING OCCURS
ESPECIALLY IN AREAS PRONE TO ICE JAMS.

BULK OF PCPN WILL BE OVER BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS
EVENING A SECOND COLD FRONT PUSHES SOUTH OF FA. THE MAIN CONCERN
WILL THEN SHIFT TO MAJOR EAST COAST STORM WHICH HAS AT LEAST SOME
MODELS IN AGREEMENT ON TRACT AND STRENGTH OF SYSTEM. GFS AND
CANADIAN GLOBAL ARE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH TRACK...UPPER
LEVEL FEATURES AND QPF AMOUNTS...WHILE UKMET IS A LITTLE FARTHER
EAST DUE TO UPPER TROUGH NOT CAPTURING SURFACE LOW IN TIME TO
DRAW SURFACE LOW FARTHER BACK INTO THE COAST. 00Z WRF APPEARS TO
BE THE OUTLIER AS SURFACE LOW REMAINS WEAK...WELL OFF THE COAST
AND H5 TROUGH MAINTAINS A POSITIVE TO NEUTRAL TILT THROUGH MUCH OF
THE EVENT...ALTHOUGH THE 06Z RUN APPEARS TO HAVE COME AROUND TO
WHAT THE GFS AND CANADIAN GLOBAL WERE INDICATING AT 00Z. WILL
GENERALLY SIDE WITH GFS/CANADIAN GLOBAL SOLUTION WHICH WAS ALSO
USED IN WWD GRAPHICS. AT THIS POINT EXPECT SNOW TO BREAK OUT
ACROSS FA FROM SOUTH TO NORTH LATE FRIDAY MORNING INTO EARLY
FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND QUICKLY OVERSPREAD ENTIRE FA BY LATE FRIDAY
AFTERNOON. BULK OF SNOW LOOKS TO FALL FROM FRIDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY
SATURDAY MORNING AND THEN START TO TAPER OFF FROM SOUTHWEST TO
NORTHEAST BY MID TO LATE SATURDAY MORNING. BEST DYNAMICS APPEAR TO
BE LOCATED FROM HUDSON VALLEY EAST INTO WESTERN NEW ENGLAND BASED
ON SURFACE LOW TRACK...H7 DEFORMATION AXIS...FRONTOGENETIC
FORCING...SNOW GROWTH REGION COUPLED WITH UVV AS WELL AS EPV AXIS.
THIS WOULD FAVOR AGGREGATES OF DENDRITES ACROSS AT LEAST EASTERN
HALF OF FA BETWEEN 00Z AND 15Z WITH SNOWFALL RATES OF OVER AN INCH
AN HOUR POSSIBLE. THERE IS SOME CONCERN BASED ON PARTIAL THICKNESS
VALUES AND MODEL SOUNDINGS FOR MIXING WITH SLEET FOR A TIME FRIDAY
NIGHT ACROSS THE MID HUDSON VALLEY...SOUTHERN BERKSHIRES AND
LITCHFIELD HILLS AND HAVE INCLUDED IN GRIDS. ALSO WITH TEMPERATURE
PROFILE THROUGH MODEL SOUNDING WOULD EXPECT A MORE WET SNOW IN
VALLEY LOCATIONS AND SIGNIFICANTLY DRIER SNOW ACROSS HIGHER
TERRAIN ESPECIALLY ACROSS NORTHERN AREAS. HAVE USED A VARIABLE
SNOW TO LIQUID RATIO VARYING FROM 10-15:1. AT THIS POINT EXPECT
HIGHEST QPF TOTALS AND HIGHEST SNOWFALL AMOUNTS TO OCCUR ACROSS
SOUTHERN GREEN MOUNTAINS AND NORTHERN BERKSHIRES WERE 1 TO 2 FEET
CERTAINLY POSSIBLE...FOR WATCH STATEMENT HAVE INDICATED 9 INCHES
OR MORE POSSIBLE FROM NOON FRIDAY THROUGH NOON SATURDAY. MREF
PLUME DIAGRAM FROM 00Z INDICATES MEAN QPF AS SNOW OF 1.28 AT KALB
WITH RANGE FROM 0.60 TO 2.09...WHILE 03Z SREF PLUME DIAGRAM HAS
MEAN OF 1.11 AND RANGE FROM 0.21 TO 2.12. SREF H8 V COMPONENT WINDS
3-4 STANDARD DEVIATIONS ABOVE NORMAL AND U COMPONENT WINDS 3-4
STANDARD DEVIATIONS BELOW NORMAL BY 15Z SATURDAY. BOTTOM LINE IS
THAT LIKE THE VALENTINES DAY STORM IT LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER
POTENTIALLY VERY SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL...BUT NOT EXPECTING AMOUNTS
TO EXCEED 3 FEET LIKE THAT STORM.

LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
NO CHANGES MADE TO PREVIOUS FORECAST BEYOND 12Z SUNDAY. BULK OF
SNOW SHOULD BE OVER WITH BY SATURDAY EVENING WITH ONLY A CHANCE OF
SLIGHT CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS ON SATURDAY NIGHT MAINLY IN THE
NORTHERN MOUNTAINS.

AVIATION /09Z THU TO 06Z FRI/...
CONDITIONS WILL GENERALLY BE IN THE MVFR AND IFR CATEGORIES TIL
18Z FOR VSBYS AND CIGS FOR KGFL...KALB AND KPOU. ISOLD LIFR
CONDITIONS MAY ALSO PERSIST. A COLD FRONT WILL SLOWLY SAG
SOUTHEAST FROM THE ST LAWRENCE RIVER VALLEY THIS MORNING WITH A
BAND OF RAIN ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONT. THE WINDS WILL SHIFT FROM
THE SOUTH AT 5-12KTS TO N/NW AT 5-12 KTS BTWN 12-15Z. THE PCPN
WILL BE MAINLY SOUTH OF ALB BY 21Z. THE CIGS WILL RISE TO VFR
LEVELS FROM KALB NORTHWARD AFTER 21Z. MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS WILL
PERSIST NEAR KPOU AFTER 22Z WITH THE RAIN POSSIBLY TRANSITIONING
TO SNOW TOWARDS 03Z WITH THE FRONT STALLING SOUTH OF LONG ISLAND.
NORTHERLY WINDS OF 10-15 KTS WILL PERSIST AFTER 21Z.

HYDROLOGY...
FLOOD WATCH WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 PM FOR ICE JAMS...SNOW
MELT AND THE RAINFALL AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT. FLOODING DUE TO AN
ICE JAM CONTINUES FOR THE CANAJOHARIE CREEK. ANOTHER FLOOD WARNING
HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR SCHOHARIE COUNTY DUE TO SOME ROADS CLOSED DUE
TO HIGH WATER. OTHER ICE JAM AND SNOW MELT RELATED PROBLEMS WITH
FLOOD ADVISORIES CONTINUE FOR SEVERAL COUNTIES. THE SNOW MELT WILL
SLOW DOWN CONSIDERABLY WITH COLDER AIR FILTERING IN DURING LATE
MORNING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON WITH TEMPS FALLING BELOW FREEZING
NORTH OF THE CAPITAL REGION IN THE LATE AFTERNOON. ALL LOCATIONS
WILL FALL BELOW THE FREEZING THURSDAY NIGHT. QPF ASSOCIATED WITH
THE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE PRIOR TO 00Z WILL RANGE FROM A HALF AN
INCH TO AN INCH. SOME WET SNOW MAY BRIEFLY MIX SOUTH OF THE
CAPITAL REGION EARLY THIS EVENING WITH VERY LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS AT
BEST. THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL STALL SOUTH OF LONG ISLAND AND NRN
NJ THU NIGHT.

LOW PRESSURE WILL ORGANIZE OVER THE CAROLINAS ON FRIDAY. THE OLD
COLD FRONT WILL SLOWLY LIFT NORTH FRIDAY AFTERNOON WITH LOW PRESSURE
TRACKING ALONG IT UP THE ATLANTIC SEABOARD. THE LOW APPEARS IT WILL
TRACK CLOSE ENOUGH ALONG THE COAST TO PRODUCE HEAVY SNOWFALL /WITH
SEVERAL INCHES POTENTIALLY POSSIBLE/ LATE FRIDAY AFTERNOON INTO
SATURDAY MORNING FOR MUCH OF ERN NY AND WRN NEW ENGLAND. SOME MIXING
WITH SLEET MAY OCCUR SOUTH AND EAST OF THE CAPITAL DISTRICT. IT
LOOKS LIKE THE STORM WILL PASS EAST OF LONG ISLAND AND OVER CAPE COD
BY DAYBREAK SATURDAY.  THE TRACK WILL DETERMINE THE HEAVIEST
SNOWFALL. LIQUID EQUIVALENT AMOUNTS FROM THE POTENTIAL SNOWSTORM MAY
EXCEED AN INCH OVER THE ENTIRE HSA.

COLDER THAN NORMAL TEMPS WILL PERSIST SUNDAY INTO MIDDLE OF NEXT
WEEK WITH A CLIPPER LOW PERHAPS BRINGING A MIX OF LIGHT SNOW NORTH
OF THE CAPITAL REGION AND LIGHT SNOW/RAIN SOUTH MON PM INTO TUE PM.
