PCPN DEPENDING ON THE TRACK OF A COASTAL/OCEAN LOW MON INTO
TUE...WHICH THE MAJORITY OF THE GUIDANCE INCLUDING THE LATEST GFS
ENSEMBLES AND THE 12Z ECMWF HAVE FAR ENOUGH SOUTH AND EAST TO POSE
LITTLE IMPACT ON THE ALY FCST AREA.

SATURDAY NIGHT-SUNDAY...A FEW SNOW SHOWERS MAY LINGER ACROSS THE SRN
ADIRONDACKS EARLY ON SAT NIGHT...BUT AT 1040 MB HIGH WILL BE
BUILDING S/SE FROM WRN ONTARIO WITH POLAR AIR FOR LATE MARCH

LEVEL JET STREAM IS OVER THE TN VALLEY AND MID ATLANTIC REGION.  A
STORM IS LIKELY TO DEVELOP NEAR THE CAROLINAS MONDAY MORNING.  RIGHT
NOW...THE NRN STREAM UPPER LEVEL TROUGH LOOKS STRONG ENOUGH TO KEEP
THE SRN STREAM SYSTEM SOUTH OF US BASED ON THE GFS/ECMWF/GEFS/CAN
GGEM. WE DID KEEP SOME SLIGHT CHANCE/LOW CHANCE POPS FOR LIGHT
SNOW/SNOW SHOWERS DURING THIS TIME FRAME.  OVERALL...THE TREND IS
SOUTH AND EAST OF OUR FCST AREA. WE WILL HAVE TO WATCH THIS
CAREFULLY OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS.

TUE...CYCLONIC FLOW CONTINUES ACROSS THE FCST AREA. THE NRN STREAM
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AXIS MOVES THROUGH WITH PERHAPS SOME CHANCES OF
LIGHT SNOW OR RAIN /BASED ON WARMING IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER/.

TUE NIGHT...SFC HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS BACK INTO THE NORTHEAST WITH
FAIR AND DRY WEATHER.

WED...A CLIPPER LOW AND ITS WARM FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE GREAT
LAKES AND/OR OHIO VALLEY MAY BRING A SLIGHT CHANCE OF RAIN OR SNOW
SHOWERS.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS OVER THE REGION IN THE PREDAWN HOURS WILL
IMPROVE TO VFR BY MID MORNING OVER THE HUDSON...MOHAWK...AND
HOUSATONIC VALLEYS. MVFR CEILINGS ARE LIKELY TO PERSIST OVER THE
SURROUNDING HIGHER TERRAIN. WINDS WILL BE NORTHWEST AND GUST TO
BETWEEN 25 AND 35 KNOTS MUCH OF THE DAY TODAY WITH SOME SCATTERED
SNOW SHOWERS DOWN THE MOHAWK VALLEY. SNOW SHOWERS WILL BE MORE
NUMEROUS CLOSER TO LAKE ONTARIO.

OUTLOOK...

TONIGHT AND THURSDAY.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
FIRST ROUND OF MODERATE PRECIPITATION HAS MOVED THROUGH THE AREA
WITH A LULL TO LIGHTER RAINFALL. CURRENT FORECASTS INDICATE THE
POTENTIAL FOR ANOTHER 1-2 INCHES OF RAIN BY THURSDAY
MORNING...ALTHOUGH CONFIDENCE IS STILL SOMEWHAT LOW ON THE EXPECTED
PLACEMENT OF THE MAXIM WHICH SEEMS TO CHANGE FROM ONE MODEL RUN TO
THE NEXT. BOTH NAM AND GFS MODELS HAVE LATCHED ONTO THE IDEA OF 2
NARROW BANDS OF HEAVIER PRECIPITATION OVERNIGHT... POSSIBLY AS THE
RESULT OF THUNDERSTORMS OVER SOUTHERN AREAS.

FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES FOR ALL BUT ADIRONDACKS AND WINDHAM COUNTY
VERMONT. AT THIS TIME IT LOOKS LIKE THE HIGHEST PROBABILITY FOR
FLOODING IS IN OR NEAR THE TWO BANDS OF HEAVIER PRECIPITATION. ONE
AREA FORECAST TO EXTEND FROM THE SOUTHERN CATSKILLS EAST ACROSS THE
HOUSATONIC BASIN. THE OTHER WOULD EXTEND FROM UPPER MOHAWK VALLEY
EAST TO SOUTHERN VERMONT.

RAIN SHOULD END ACROSS THE AREA BY 10 AM THURSDAY WITH ANY LINGERING
PRECIPITATION FALLING AS SNOW. MOST RIVERS ARE EXPECTED TO CREST
DURING THE DAY ON THURSDAY WITH THE SLOWER RESPONDING RIVERS
REACHING PEAK THURSDAY NIGHT OR FRIDAY.

PLEASE REFER TO OUR ADVANCED HYDROLOGIC PREDICTION SERIES /AHPS/
PAGES ON THE WEB FOR DETAILS AND UPDATES ON THE RIVERS.
