AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
1252 PM EST MON FEB 25 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE REGION THIS MORNING WILL SLOWLY DRIFT TO THE
SOUTHEAST TODAY. A STORM MOVING ACROSS THE ROCKIES WILL TRACK ACROSS
THE COUNTRY...AND APPROACH THE REGION FROM THE WEST AS IT MOVES
THROUGH PENNSYLVANIA ON TUESDAY. IT WILL MOVE THROUGH SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND TUESDAY NIGHT AND INTO THE GULF OF MAINE ON WEDNESDAY. THIS
STORM WILL RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE REGION
TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. AFTER THE STORM PASSES THROUGH...A BLAST
OF ARCTIC AIR WILL FOLLOW FOR THE MIDDLE AND END OF THE WORKWEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
SOME LOW CLOUDS HAVE BEEN AFFECTING FAR NORTHERN HERKIMER/HAMILTON
COS AS OF 1635Z...AND EXPECT THESE TO PERSIST INTO THE EARLY
AFTERNOON HOURS BEFORE SLOWLY DISSIPATING. OTHERWISE...PATCHY HIGH
CLOUDS WILL CONTINUE TO AFFECT THE REGION THROUGH THIS
AFTERNOON...WITH PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES CONTINUING. EXPECT
MAXES TO REACH THE UPPER 30S ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF THE NORTH
COUNTRY...TO LOWER 40S WITHIN MOST VALLEYS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
CLOUDS WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE TONIGHT AS MOISTURE STREAMS RAPIDLY
NORTHEAST AHEAD OF THE DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVING EAST UP
THE OHIO VALLEY. BY MORNING IT WILL BE CLOUDY ACROSS THE REGION WITH
A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SNOW LATE TONIGHT WEST OF THE HUDSON VALLEY. LOWS
WILL BE BETWEEN 15 AND 25.

AS THE LOW TRACKS EASTWARD THROUGH PENNSYLVANIA ON TUESDAY...SNOW
WILL BREAK OUT QUICKLY FROM WEST TO EAST TUESDAY MORNING...POSSIBLY
HOLDING OFF UNTIL EARLY AFTERNOON OVER THE EASTERN ZONES. TRACK OF
THE LOW ACROSS SOUTHEAST NY LATE TUESDAY AFTERNOON...THEN SOUTHERN
NEW ENGLAND TUESDAY NIGHT...WILL ALLOW ENOUGH WARMING ACROSS MUCH OF
THE FORECAST AREA FOR A MIX OR CHANGEOVER TO RAIN. UNLIKE PREVIOUS
ICY SYSTEMS THIS WINTER SEASON...NO STRONG HIGH NOTED IN THE MODELS
THAT COULD HOLD IN THE COLD AIR AT THE SURFACE...SO EXPECT A
RAIN/SNOW EVENT...WITH TERRAIN BEING A SIGNIFICANT FACTOR AS TO
P-TYPE. RAIN/SNOW MIX LIKELY IN MOST LOCATIONS AT OR BELOW 1000 FEET
TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING...WITH A CHANGEOVER TO ALL RAIN LIKELY
IN THE MID HUDSON VALLEY TO LOWER ELEVATIONS OF LITCHFIELD COUNTY. A
MIX OF RAIN/SNOW ALSO POSSIBLE IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN FROM THE
CATSKILLS TO THE BERKSHIRES.

AFTER THE LOW GOES BY EARLY TUESDAY EVENING...COLDER AIR RETURNS
QUICKLY WITH ALL SNOW EXPECTED IN ALL AREAS FROM MIDNIGHT ON.
ALTHOUGH TIMING/LOCATION IS DIFFERENT...MODELS INDICATE
FRONTOGENETIC FORCING WILL PRODUCE A BAND OF MODERATE/HEAVY SNOW
SOMEWHERE ACROSS THE NORTHERN TWO THIRDS OF THE FORECSAT AREA AND
THE CATSKILLS TUESDAY NIGHT. THIS BAND WILL BE SLOW TO LIFT OUT ON
WEDNESDAY AS THE SURFACE LOW LINGERS OVER THE GULF OF MAINE...BUT
THE FORCING WILL HAVE WEAKENED BY THEN WITH MAINLY LIGHT SNOW
EXPECTED WEDNESDAY.

PROLONGED NATURE OF THIS EVENT...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR A PERIOD OF
HEAVY SNOW TUESDAY NIGHT...WARRANTS THE ISSUANCE OF A WINTER STORM
WATCH FROM TUESDAY MORNING INTO WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON FOR MOST OF THE
FORECAST AREA...EVEN IF THE SNOW DOES MIX WITH RAIN IN MANY AREAS
FOR A TIME. THE WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR ALL AREAS EXCEPT THE MID
HUDSON VALLEY AND LITCHFIELD COUNTY.

HIGHS TUESDAY WILL GENERALLY BE IN THE 30S...WITH LOWS DROPPING INTO
THE UPPER TEENS AND 20S TUESDAY NIGHT. GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS BEHIND
THE SURFACE LOW WILL PUSH ARCTIC AIR INTO THE REGION WEDNESDAY WITH
TEMPS EXPECTED TO RISE NO MORE THAN A FEW DEGREES (IF AT ALL) BEFORE
PLUMETING WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
WE PERUSED THE 00Z GFS...ECMWF...CAN GGEM...18Z DGEX...AND 18Z/00Z
GLOBAL ENSEMBLES FOR THE EXTENDED PORTION OF THE FCST

WED NIGHT...THE INTENSE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE NORTHEAST
OF THE GULF OF ST LAWRENCE WITH BACKLASH/WRAP AROUND SNOW SHOWERS
CONTINUING MAINLY NORTH OF THE CAPITAL REGION.  THERE COULD BE SOME
OROGRAPHIC UPSLOPE ENHANCEMENT OFF THE WRN ADIRONDACKS AND SRN GREEN
MTNS.  WE KEPT SOME LIKELY/HIGH CHANCE POPS IN.  THERE IS A CHANCE
OF SOME LAKE EFFECT SNOWS OFF LAKE ONTARIO...HOWEVER WITH A N/NW
FLOW THIS WOULD LIKELY PRODUCE MULTIBANDS THAT WOULD MISS THE BRUNT
OF THE FCST AREA.  SIGNIFICANT COLD AIR ADVECTION OCCURS IN THE WAKE
OF THE INTENSE AND DEEP CYCLONE WITH H850 TEMPS OF -15C TO -20C FROM
SOUTH TO NORTH.  BLUSTERY CONDITIONS AND WIND CHILLS FALLING BELOW
ZERO WILL BE COMMON. WIND CHILLS MAY APPROACH ADVISORY/WARNING
LEVELS OVER THE SRN ADIRONDACKS THURSDAY MORNING AND FRIDAY
MORNING....THOUGH THE WINDS WILL BE DECREASING TO LESS THAN 10 KTS
AFTER 00Z SAT.

THURSDAY...THE MEAN LONGWAVE TROUGH BEGINS TO LIFT N/NE WITH SFC
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN FROM THE SOUTH.  THE LOW LEVEL FLOW TURNS
ANTICYCLONIC CEASING ANY LAKE EFFECT QUICKLY /THIS IS ADVERTISED IN
THE 00Z GEFS...GFS...ECMWF AND CAN GGEM/.  HIGH TEMPS MAY RUN 15 TO
20 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL WITH BLUSTERY CONDITIONS WITH THE CORE OF
THE ARCTIC AIR OVER THE REGION DURING THE DAY.

THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY..THE MID LEVEL FLOW FLATTENS ONLY
BRIEFLY...AS A CLIPPER LOW QUICKLY APPROACHES FROM THE UPPER
MIDWEST/WRN GREAT LAKES REGION AFTER 06Z FRI.  THIS SYSTEM LOOKS TO
PRODUCE A SHOT OF ISENTROPIC LIFT WITH ITS WARM FRONT FROM WEST TO
EAST FRI PM.  THE 850 MB SOUTHWESTERLY LLJ STRENGTHENS TO ABOUT 50
KTS OVER THE REGION 18Z FRI TO 00Z SAT VIA THE GFS.  WE WOULD BE
LOOKING AT LIGHT SNOW AMOUNTS ON THE ORDER OF 1-4.  WE KEPT SOME
HIGH CHANCE POPS IN DURING THE DAY.

FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY...THE CLIPPER MOVES JUST NORTH OF NRN NY
AND UPSTATE VT WITH THE COLD FRONT AND ITS ASSOCIATED  H500 UPPER
LEVEL TROUGH CONTINUING THE THREAT OF SNOW SHOWERS.  SOME LAKE
EFFECT SNOW COULD REKINDLE ON SAT IN THE WAKE OF THE SYSTEM IN THE
W/NW FLOW.  THESE DETAILS WILL BE IRONED OUT LATER.  ANOTHER SHOT OF
ARCTIC/POLAR AIR MOVES OVER THE AREA WITH H850 TEMPS FALLING BACK TO
-13C TO -18C.

SAT NIGHT INTO SUNDAY...HIGH PRESSURE BRIEFLY BUILDS IN SAT NIGHT
INTO SUNDAY.  HOWEVER...A WARM FRONT WITH THE NEXT UPSTREAM SYSTEM
MAY PRODUCE SOME SCT SNOW SHOWERS...ESPECIALLY NW OF THE HUDSON
RIVER VALLEY SUN PM.  THERE IS SOME DISCREPANCY BTWN THE ECMWF AND
DGEX VS THE GFS WHEN THESE WOULD START.  WE WENT THE OPTIMISTIC/DRY
ROUTE AND JUST PLACED A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR THE ADIRONDACK PARK. TEMPS
WILL START TO REBOUND CLOSER TO EARLY MARCH MAX TEMP VALUES.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
NO AVIATION PROBLEMS ARE LIKELY THE NEXT 12-18 HOURS FOR ALL
TERMINALS. FEW TO SCT LOW CLDS WILL TRAVEL ACROSS KGFL/KALB THIS
AFTERNOON...WHILE HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES WITH VFR CONDITIONS FOR
THE NEXT 18 HOURS. WINDS LIGHT EXCEPT AT KGFL WITH SOUTHERLY FLOW
GUSTING AROUND 15KTS...DECOUPLING TO CALM AFTER 01Z.
CIGS WILL DETERIORATE AS LOW PRESSURE APPROACHES FROM THE TN VALLEY
WITH INCREASING LOW CLDS AFTER 08Z. SNOW SHOWERS WILL MOVE IN FROM
THE SOUTHWEST STARTING AT KPOU 12-14Z...KALB 13-15Z...KGFL 14-16Z...
ACCOMPANIED BY MVFR/IFR CIGS AND VSBYS. SNOW/WINTRY MIX WILL
CONTINUE THE REST OF TUESDAY...AS PCPN LOOKS TO CHANGE OVER TO RAIN
DURING THE DAY.

OUTLOOK...
TUE...MVFR/IFR...SNOW/WINTRY MIX LIKELY. POSS LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR
FOR KPOU.
WED...MVFR/IFR...-SN LIKELY. WINDY.
THU...VFR...NO SIG WX.
FRI...VFR/MVFR...CHC OF SHSN.
SAT...VFR/MVFR...CHC SN/RA SHOWERS.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
NO WIDESPREAD HYDRO PROBLEMS ARE EXPECTED INTO NEXT WEEKEND WITH
RIVERS CONTINUING TO RECEDE BACK TO NORMAL LATE FEB LEVELS.  ICE
WILL CONTINUE TO FORM AND THICKEN ON MANY OF THE RIVERS...SINCE
TEMPS CONTINUE TO FALL WELL BELOW FREEZING AT NIGHT IN THE COLD AIR
MASS.  THE RIVER ICE WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE THICKEST NORTH OF THE
MOHAWK RIVER VALLEY AND CAPITAL REGION.

A SIGNIFICANT PCPN EVENT IS ANTICIPATED TUE THROUGH WED WITH A LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM BRINGING AN AVERAGE OF 0.75-1.5 OF QPF TO THE HYDRO
SERVICE.  SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOW ARE EXPECTED FROM THE CAPITAL
REGION...BERKSHIRES...AND EASTERN CATSKILLS NORTH AND WEST.  RAIN
WILL LIKELY MIX IN FOR A TIME TUE PM INTO EARLY TUE NIGHT SOUTH AND
EAST OF THE CAPITAL REGION.  HOWEVER...THE RECENT SNOW PACK
ABSORBING RAINFALL...AND TEMPS NOT RISING OUT THE MID TO UPPER 30S
SHOULD PRECLUDE ANY FLOODING.  WE WILL WATCH THE HOUSATONIC BASIN
CAREFULLY...SINCE IT HAS BEEN RUNNING ABOVE NORMAL THIS FEB WITH
MANY SITES STILL AT THREE QUARTERS OF BANKFULL.

COLD WEATHER WITH THE MAIN PTYPE SNOW WILL CONTINUE INTO THE
WEEKEND.  A CLIPPER LOW AND ITS ASSOCIATED FRONTAL BOUNDARIES WILL
BRING SOME MORE SNOW TO THE HSA FRI INTO SAT.
