AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
1235 PM EST THU DEC 18 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRIEFLY BUILD IN ACROSS OUR REGION TODAY.
THEN...A STORM THAT BROUGHT SNOW TO LAS VEGAS WILL EASILY EXCEED THE
LEGAL SPEED LIMIT AS IT RACES BETWEEN INTERSTATES 70 AND 80 ACROSS
THE COUNTRY...AND WILL ACTUALLY SLIP OFF JERSEY COAST BY FRIDAY
EVENING. THIS STORM IS LOADED WITH PACIFIC MOISTURE AND WILL LIKELY
BRING A SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL TO MOST IF NOT ALL OF OUR AREA
FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
STILL DEALING WITH A MANTLE OF CLOUDS...THE RESULT OF A PRETTY
IMPRESSIVE INVERSION AROUND 4000 FEET. THIS TIME OF YEAR IT IS VERY
DIFFICULT TO MIX OUT SUCH INVERSION AS THE SUN ANGLE IS JUST ABOUT
AT IS NADIR AND OFFER VERY LITTLE SENSIBLE HEATING. THESE CLOUDS
HAVE KEPT TEMPERATURES FROM FALLING MUCH. WE THINK THEY WILL SLOWLY
THIN THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND HOPEFULLY WE WILL SEE A FEW BREAKS OF
SUNSHINE. EITHER WAY...ANY MEASURABLE PRECIPITATION SHOULD REMAIN
WEST OF OUR FORECAST AREA. WENT WITH THE COLDER MET GUIDANCE AND
THEN LOWERED A DEGREE OR TWO DUE TO NEW ACQUIRED SNOW COVER (NORTH
OF POUGHKEEPSIE) WHICH WE ARE NOT SURE THE MODELS HAVE REALIZED.

A VERY WEAK BOUNDARY WILL SLIP SOUTH TONIGHT AS A MUCH LARGER ARCTIC
HIGH OVER EASTERN CANADA WILL ATTEMPT TO SLIP SOUTHWARD. THE AIR
WITH THIS HIGH IS MUCH DRIER AND MIGHT ACTUALLY BE THE ELEMENT THAT
COULD BRIEFLY PARTIALLY CLEAR OUR SKY VERY LATE TODAY OR THIS
EVENING.

ALL MODELS HAVE SLOWED DOWN THE ARRIVAL OF OUR SNOW ENOUGH TO
WARRANT PRETTY MUCH REMOVING IT FROM THE TONIGHT PERIOD. THE BIG
CHALLENGE WILL ONCE AGAIN BE TEMPERATURES. STILL THINKING ENOUGH
CLEARING UP NORTH WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES BRIEFLY PLUMMET...DOWN TO
SINGLE NUMBERS TO AROUND ZERO. HOWEVER...HIGH CLOUDS STREAMING IN
FROM THE WEST AND SOUTH WILL KEEP OVERNIGHT LOWS TEMPERED A BIT
FURTHER SOUTH SO WENT WITH A BLEND OF MODEL GUIDANCE THERE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
THEN...OUR STORM...CURRENTLY NEAR THE FOUR CORNERS AREA...WILL BE
HURLED EASTWARD BY A POWER HOUSE UPPER JET THAT ORIGINATES FAR OUT
IN THE PACIFIC OCEAN. THIS STORM WILL TRANSLATE EASTWARD AND FEED
OFF AN INCREASING BAROCLINIC ZONE WHICH WILL INDUCE PRETTY
IMPRESSIVE ISENTROPIC LIFT. THE STORM IS FORECAST TO SLIP OFF THE
EASTERN SEABOARD AS EARLY AS 00Z SATURDAY

ALL MODELS HAVE TRENDED THE SURFACE OPEN LOW FURTHER SOUTH SOME
50-100 MILES COMPARED TO PREVIOUS GUIDANCE. EARLIER...IT LOOK AS IF
THE LOW WOULD TRACK ALONG THE INTERSTATE 80 CORRIDOR. NOW...THE
EURO/GFS/AND CANADIAN MODELS TRACK THIS MORE ALONG THE INTERSTATE 70
CORRIDOR AND IN FACT...THE NAM IS A TAD SOUTH OF THAT

WITH THIS BEING AN OPEN WAVE AND THE MAX FGEN LOOKING TO ALSO TO BE
SOUTH OF EVEN POUGHKEEPSIE THE QUESTION IS WHETHER THE QPF WOULD BE
SUBSTANTIALLY CUT BACK. OVERALL IT HAS SOMEWHAT COMPARED TO
YESTERDAYS ROBUST FORECAST. HOWEVER...ALL MODELS INDICATE A QPF OF
AROUND HALF AN INCH TO THE NORTH OF ALBANY AND STILL APPROACHING (OR
SOME IN CASES) EXCEEDING AN INCH IN OUR SOUTHERN ZONES. SINCE ALL
MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW ALL SNOW WITH THIS EVENT ...AND THE HIGH QPF
SOUTH (LOWER NORTH BUT HIGHER SNOW RATIOS EXPECTED)...WE WILL
CERTAINLY CONTINUE OUR WINTER STORM STORM WATCH FOR ALL AREAS.
CONFIDENCE IS STILL NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO GO TO WARNING (THE STORM
BEING OVER 2000 MILES AWAY). USING MOSTLY THE QPF FROM THE GFS
(CONSISTENT WITH THE OTHER MODELS) AND A SNOW RATIO UP TO 15:1
NORTH...CLOSER TO 10:1 SOUTH...WE STILL GET 5-10 INCHES TOTAL NORTH
OF ALBANY...6-12 LOCALLY...AND 8-16 INCHES TO THE SOUTH WITH THE
HIGHEST AMOUNTS OVER THE CATSKILLS AND LITCHFIELD
HILLS.

MOST MODELS ALSO INDICATE A SLIGHTLY FASTER END TO THE SNOW AS THE
BAROCLINIC ZONE ZIPS ON BY TO OUR EAST. MIGHT HAVE A LITTLE LEFT
OVER DEFORMATION LIGHT SNOW TO CONTEND WITH LATER FRIDAY NIGHT BUT
WITH A CLOSED CIRCULATION ALOFT...ANY DEFORMATION SHOULD BE LIGHT
AND QUICK TO EXIT.

THUS FAR...NOT LOOKING AS IF ANY MOHAWK CONVERGENCE WILL TAKE PLACE.
THE STORM ITSELF LOOKS TO JUST MISS THE 40N 70W BENCHMARK (TOO FAR
SOUTH)...AND THE SURFACE WIND LOOKS TO BE MORE NORTHERLY (OR EVEN
NORTHEASTERLY EVERYWHERE) BEHIND THE DEPARTING CYCLONE. CSTAR
STUDIES INDICATE A WEST TO NORTHWEST WIND IS NEEDED IN THE MOHAWK
VALLEY COMPARED TO A FORECASTED NORTHERLY WIND IN THE HUDSON VALLEY
TO REALIZE ENOUGH LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE TO LINGER LIGHT SNOW IN SUCH
AN ENVIRONMENT.

GENERALLY LEANED WITH THE MET NOS FRIDAY BUT FRIDAY NIGHT THEY LOOK
TO COLD CONSIDERING THAT ALL MODELS INDICATE A GOOD DEAL OF CLOUDS
PERSISTING. WENT WITH THE SLIGHTLY WARMER MAV GUIDANCE FOR THAT TIME
FRAME.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
..SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORMS COULD IMPACT THE REGION SUNDAY INTO
MONDAY...AND AGAIN ON WEDNESDAY/WEDNESDAY NIGHT...

THE PARADE OF STRONG PACIFIC STORMS CONTINUES INTO THE LONG TERM
PORTION OF THE FORECAST.  WE START THIS WEEKEND ON A RATHER TRANQUIL
NOTE WITH SLOWLY RISING HEIGHTS AND SURFACE HIGH ACROSS ONTARIO
SLIDING INTO QUEBEC RIDGING SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE EASTERN GREAT
LAKES.  UPSTREAM HOWEVER...BRITISH COLUMBIA UPPER LOW BEGINS TO
AMPLIFY ACROSS THE DAKOTAS AS A PHASING OF THE SUBTROPICAL AND POLAR
JETS TRANSPIRES OVER THE CENTER OF THE NATION LATE SATURDAY.  IT
SEEMS AMPLE MOISTURE WILL ACCOMPANY THIS FEATURE AS THE MAIN UPPER
LOW TRACKS TOWARD THE GREAT LAKES LATER IN THE WEEKEND.

IMPRESSIVE DIVERGENT FIELDS ALOFT AND LIKELY A SECONDARY COASTAL
DEVELOPMENT OFF THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC COAST ON SUNDAY WILL SPELL
ANOTHER POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT PRECIP EVENT.  THIS TIME AROUND...IT
SEEMS ENOUGH WARM AIR MIGHT ADVECT NORTHWARD AND RESULT IN A WINTRY
MIXTURE SOUTH AND EAST OF THE CAPITAL REGION.  THERMAL PROFILES AND
EXACT TRACK OF THIS PENDING STORM REMAIN IN QUESTION AND HARD TO PIN
DOWN DETAILS.  WE WILL CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT THIS IN THE HWO THIS
MORNING.

IN THE WAKE OF THE MAIN SURFACE LOW...TRACKING AND DEPENDING OVER
THE GULF OF MAINE...A RATHER IMPRESSIVE DEFORMATION AXIS IS BEING
SUGGESTED IN THE GLOBAL MODELS ACROSS NEW YORK STATE.  THIS IS
LIKELY DUE TO THE MAIN UPPER TROUGH AXIS LAGGING BEHIND THE SURFACE
FEATURES AND IMPRESSIVE DIFFERENTIAL THERMAL ADVECTION EXPECTED ON
MONDAY.  850MB TEMPS ARE PROGGED TO DROP BACK WELL INTO THE NEGATIVE
TEENS WHICH WILL MAKE FOR A VERY CHILLY DAY.  FURTHERMORE...WINDS
WILL BECOME MORE OF AN ISSUE WITH AROUND 50KTS ALSO AT 850MB.

A LARGE SURFACE HIGH...WITH ORIGINS FROM ALBERTA...BUILDS ACROSS THE
SOUTHEAST CONUS FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK.  THIS SHOULD PROVIDE PARTIAL
SUNSHINE AND TRANQUIL WEATHER.  THIS WILL BE SHORT LIVED WITH
ANOTHER PACIFIC SYSTEM POISED TO IMPACT THE CONUS TOWARD THE MID
WEEK PERIOD. POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT PRECIP EVENT
WITH SUBTROPICAL CONNECTION SEEN IN THE TRACE FROM MOISTURE
TRANSPORT VECTORS.  THIS TOO WILL BE MENTIONED IN THE HWO AS WE DO
EXPECT QUITE A BIT OF VARIABILITY WITH FORTHCOMING FORECASTS.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
VFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THIS AFTN AND INTO TONIGHT. MID LEVEL
CLOUDS WILL PROGRESSIVELY INCREASE AND THICKEN THROUGH THE NIGHT.
SNOW WILL BEGIN TO SPREAD FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST ACROSS THE
REGION BY LATE MORNING FRIDAY AS A STORM SYSTEM MOVES QUICKLY FROM
THE OHIO VALLEY TO ACROSS CENTRAL PA. THE SNOW SHOULD COME IN
RATHER QUICKLY...SO CONDITIONS MAY GO FROM VFR TO LOW END MVFR/IFR
IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. SNOW WILL THEN FALL HEAVILY AT TIMES FRI
AFTN WITH LIFR LIKELY AT ALL TERMINALS. WINDS WILL REMAIN RATHER
LIGHT THROUGH FRI AFTN.

.HYDROLOGY...
NO HYDRO PROBLEMS ARE EXPECTED FOR THE NEXT FIVE DAYS.

WITH MAINLY FROZEN OR FREEZING PRECIPITATION FORECAST OVER THE NEXT
SEVERAL DAYS...AND TEMPS GENERALLY AT OR BELOW FREEZING EVEN DURING
THE DAYTIME PERIODS...EXPECT STREAMS AND RIVERS TO SLOWLY RETURN TO
NEAR SEASONAL NORMAL LEVELS AND FLOWS OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS AS
RUNOFF DECREASES. WITH THE EXPECTED AT OR BELOW FREEZING
TEMPERATURES...COULD SEE AN INCREASE IN ICE COVERAGE ON THOSE RIVERS
