River Flood Warning 85, NWS Albany, NY

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
408 AM EST FRI DEC 12 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
THE STORM SYSTEM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WINTRY PRECIPITATION WILL TRACK
NORTHEAST ACROSS WESTERN NEW ENGLAND TODAY...AND INTO THE CANADIAN
MARITIMES TONIGHT. THIS WILL ALLOW PRECIPITATION TO END BY THIS
AFTERNOON...EXCEPT FOR LINGERING LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS THE
ADIRONDACKS. COLDER AIR WILL FILTER BACK INTO THE REGION BEHIND THIS
STORM SYSTEM...AS A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST
FOR SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
...SIGNIFICANT ICE STORM AFFECTING MUCH OF EAST CENTRAL NEW YORK AND
WESTERN NEW ENGLAND THIS MORNING...

THE ONLY CHANGE TO WINTER WEATHER WARNINGS/ADVISORIES IS TO CANCEL
THE WINTER WX ADVISORY FOR SOUTHERN LITCHFIELD CO...AS TEMPS RISE TO
SLIGHTLY ABOVE FREEZING. ALL OTHER WARNINGS WILL REMAIN INTACT.

AS OF 415 AM EST...MODERATE TO HEAVY FREEZING RAIN PERSISTS ACROSS
MUCH OF WESTERN NEW ENGLAND...AND EAST CENTRAL NEW YORK. MILDER AIR
HAS ALLOWED TEMPS TO WARM SLIGHTLY ABOVE FREEZING ACROSS PORTIONS OF
NW CT...AS WELL AS ACROSS LOWER ELEVATIONS WITHIN THE BERKS AND
SOUTHERN GREENS...PARTIALLY AIDED BY DOWNSLOPING E-WINDS. ICE
ACCRETIONS THUS FAR HAVE EASILY REACHED 0.5 TO 0.75...ALTHOUGH
LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS MOST LIKELY RESULTED. QPF WAS EVEN
GREATER...WITH SOME AREAS WITHIN THE FREEZING RAIN AREA OF OVER 1
INCH. HOWEVER...SINCE THE RATES OF THIS PRECIPITATION WERE SO
GREAT...SOME OF THIS RAN OFF...RATHER THAN ACCRETING.

A DRY SLOT IS QUICKLY APPROACHING FROM THE SW...AND THIS SHOULD END
MUCH OF THE STEADIER PRECIP BY 12Z. HOWEVER...AREAS OF
DRIZZLE/FREEZING DRIZZLE WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE. MEANWHILE...A
DEFORMATION BAND ACROSS WEST CENTRAL NYS AND PA WILL GRADUALLY SLIDE
E...AND SHOULD GRADUALLY WEAKEN IN INTENSITY. HOWEVER...THIS WILL
LIKELY PRODUCE A BURST OF SNOW/SLEET ACROSS THE REGION LATER THIS
MORNING...POSSIBLY STARTING AS PLAIN RAIN DUE TO INITIALLY WARM MID
LEVEL TEMPS. THIS COULD PRODUCE ADDITIONAL ACCUMS OF LEAST 2-4
INCHES ACROSS FAR NORTHERN HERKIMER/HAMILTON COS...WITH 1-3 INCHES
POSSIBLE ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE WESTERN MOHAWK VALLEY/SCHOHARIE
VALLEY...AND PERHAPS UP TO AN INCH FROM THE CAPITAL REGION N AND
W...WITH LESS THAN AN INCH TO THE S/E. HOWEVER...WILL NEED TO WATCH
RADAR TRENDS...AS DEFORMATION BANDS OFTEN CAN PRODUCE HEAVIER
SNOWFALL AMOUNTS THAN MODELS DEPICT.

FOR THIS AFTERNOON...LINGERING SNOW SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS NW
AREAS...AS SOME LAKE/OROGRAPHIC ENHANCEMENT DEVELOPS...ESP ACROSS
HERKIMER CO.

AS FOR TEMPS...EXPECT THEM TO RISE OVER THE NEXT 1-3
HOURS...REACHING TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE FREEZING IN MANY VALLEY
AREAS...AND POSSIBLY UP TO THE MID 30S ACROSS THE MID HUDSON VALLEY
AND SOUTHERN LITCHFIELD CO. TEMPS WILL THEN FALL BACK INTO THE 20S
DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS...WITH INCREASINGLY GUSTY WNW WINDS OF
15-25 MPH.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY/...
TONIGHT...EXPECT SOME LAKE ENHANCED SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS NW
AREAS...WHERE MINOR ADDITIONAL ACCUMS ARE POSSIBLE.
HOWEVER...INCREASING LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR AND LOWERING INVERSION
HEIGHTS SHOULD LIMIT THE VERTICAL EXTENT AND INTENSITY OF ANY BANDS.
OTHERWISE...EXPECT TEMPS TO FALL INTO THE TEENS ACROSS THE
VALLEYS...AND SINGLE DIGITS ACROSS THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS. THESE MINS
ARE MORE IN LINE WITH THE SLIGHTLY WARMER FWC MOS...OWING TO
LINGERING MIXING AND SOME CLOUDS.

SAT...OTHER THAN SOME POSSIBLE SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS THE SCHOHARIE
VALLEY AND WESTERN MOHAWK VALLEY...EXPECT PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY
SKIES. FOR MAX TEMPS...EXPECT MID 20S IN THE VALLEYS...WITH MAINLY
TEENS ACROSS THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS.

SAT NT...CLEAR AND QUITE COLD AS HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE SLIDES ACROSS
REGION FROM W. THUS...EXPECT MANY MINS TO FALL INTO THE SINGLE
DIGITS TO LOWER TEENS WITHIN THE VALLEYS...WITH SOME SINGLE DIGITS
BELOW ZERO EXPECTED ACROSS THE DACKS.

SUN...SOME CLOUDS MAY DRIFT BY...ESP LATER IN THE DAY WITHIN
DEVELOPING WARM ADVECTION. HOWEVER...LIMITED MIXING SHOULD KEEP
TEMPS CHILLY DESPITE DEVELOPING SW FLOW...WITH MAINLY UPPER 20S/MID
30S ACROSS THE NORTH COUNTRY AND WITHIN VALLEY AREAS...AND 35-40
ACROSS THE MID HUDSON VALLEY.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
LITTLE TO NO CHANGES TO THIS PORTION OF FORECAST. PREVIOUS
DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...

HIGH PRESSURE WILL DOMINATE OUR WEATHER FOR SUNDAY...WITH PARTLY
CLOUDY SKIES AND AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES CLOSE TO SEASONAL NORMAL.
THE HIGH SLIDES EAST OFF THE COAST SUNDAY NIGHT AS THE NEXT SURFACE
LOW BRINGS THE LOW LEVEL WINDS BACK TO A SOUTHWESTERLY
DIRECTION...BRINGING IN WARMTH AND MOISTURE FROM THE GULF. THE
SURFACE LOW MOVES NORTH INTO CANADA MONDAY...WITH OVERRUNNING PRECIP
SPREADING INTO THE REGION WHICH IS LIKELY TO CHANGE FROM SNOW TO
FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET AND LATER TO RAIN AS SURFACE TEMPERATURES
CLIMB ABOVE FREEZING. A COLD FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH THE REGION LATE
MONDAY NIGHT WHICH WILL TURN ANY LIQUID OR FREEZING PRECIPITATION
BACK TO SNOW TOWARD DAYBREAK...BUT AS TEMPERATURES WARM FROM
DOWNSLOPING AND SUBSIDENCE THE PRECIPITATION WILL CHANGE TO RAIN
ACROSS MOST OF THE REGION FROM THE MOHAWK VALLEY SOUTH DURING THE
DAY ON TUESDAY. ANOTHER WEAK LOW WILL MOVE ALONG THE AIR MASS
BOUNDARY WEDNESDAY AND KEEP THE WEATHER OVER THE REGION UNSETTLED.
WITH THE REGION IN THE COLD AIR MASS THE P-TYPE WILL MOST LIKELY BE
SNOW EXCEPT FOR A SMALL AREA OF MIX IN THE MID HUDSON REGION OF NY
AND SOUTHERN LITCHFIELD COUNTY CT. HIGH PRESSURE THEN WEDGES ITS WAY
INTO THE REGION FROM THE WEST ON THURSDAY TO GIVE US A BRIEF BREAK
IN THE ACTION...WITH MIDDAY TEMPERATURES FROM THE MID 20S TO THE MID
30S...JUST SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.

&&

.AVIATION /09Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
IFR/LIFR WILL PERSIST THE REMAINDER OF THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD.  A
VARIETY OF PRECIP TYPES WITH MAINLY SLEET/FREEZING RAIN EXPECTED
OVERNIGHT WITH THE TREMENDOUS WARM AIR ALOFT AND SURFACE
TEMPERATURES AT OR JUST BELOW THE FREEZING MARK.

MID LEVEL DRY SLOT APPROACHES AROUND 10-12Z FRIDAY WHICH WILL CUT
OFF ICE NUCLEI AND RESULT PERIODS OF DRIZZLE/FREEZING DRIZZLE BUT
STILL IFR BUT IMPROVING TO MVFR LATER IN THE MORNING.  DEFORMATION
/WRAP AROUND/ ZONE APPROACHES TOWARD 15Z WITH A PERIOD OF SNOW
AND/OR SLEET FOR MOST AREAS /WOULD NEED TO WATCH FOR LOCAL EFFECT
FROM GFL-ALB FOR BRIEF IFR CONDITIONS/...UNTIL THIS AFTERNOON WHEN
DRIER AIR CONTINUES TO FILTER IN THE WAKE OF THIS STORM WITH VFR
CONDITIONS RETURNING.

OUTLOOK...
FRI NT-MON AM...VFR. NO SIG WX.
MON PM-TUE...MVFR...POSS IFR. CIG/VIS. CHC SHRAS.
