AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
1240 PM EST WED FEB 11 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
MILD WEATHER WILL OCCUR ACROSS OUR REGION INTO THURSDAY. A COLD
FRONT WILL TRACK THROUGH THE REGION EARLY THURSDAY MORNING...
BRINGING AN AREA OF RAIN AHEAD OF THE FRONT...AND A CHANCE OF RAIN
OR SNOW SHOWERS BEHIND THE IT.  COLDER AIR WILL THEN GRADUALLY
FILTER INTO THE REGION...BRINGING A RETURN TO MORE SEASONABLE
TEMPERATURES BY FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
A SOUTHERLY FLOW WAS RESULTING IN UNSEASONABLY MILD TEMPERATURES
TODAY.  STRONG WARM AIR ADVECTION AND SOME DECENT MIXING WILL HELP
TEMPERATURES RISE QUICKLY TODAY...WITH HIGHS FROM THE MID 40S TO MID
50S. THIS WILL HELP RIPEN THE SNOW PACK ACROSS NORTHERN AREAS AND
RESULT IN SOME SNOW MELT ACROSS SOUTHERN AREAS.MEANWHILE...AFTER
SOME SUN THIS MORNING...MID AND HIGH CLOUDS WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE.
HAVE POPS GRADUALLY INCREASING TO SLGT CHC S OF ALB... LIKELY
WESTERN ADIRONDACKS...AND CHC ELSEWHERE.  AS SURFACE LOW PULLS INTO
THE OHIO VALLEY AND THE RAIN SPREADS INTO THE REGION...WE HAVE
LIKELY TO CATEGORICAL POPS BEYOND 00Z.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY/...
FOR TONIGHT...HAVE INCLUDED CHANCE OF TSTMS ACRS FAR SE PTN OF FA
AS ML MUCAPES RISE TO 100-200 J/KG LATE THIS EVENING COUPLED WITH
SFC BASED LI/S CLOSE TO ZERO. NOT EXPECTING TEMPERATURES TO FALL
MUCH TONIGHT...EXCEPT AT ONSET OF PCPN...SO LOWS WILL GENERALLY BE
WITHIN 5 TO 10 DEGREES OF AFTERNOON HIGHS TODAY. STRONG COLD FRONT
MOVES THROUGH VERY QUICKLY LATE TONIGHT OR EARLY THURSDAY AS
STRENGTHENING SURFACE LOW PRESSURE TRACKS JUST TO OUR NORTH.

ON THURSDAY THERE IS SOME CONCERN FOR ADVISORY TO PERHAPS LOW
WARNING CRITERIA WINDS...ALTHOUGH THERE IS A LACK OF STRONG CAA
BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. STILL 0-30 AGL WINDS INDICATE GUSTS OF
40-50 KTS POSSIBLE ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN FROM
EASTERN CATSKILLS TO SRN ADIRONDACKS AND ACRS SRN VT AS WELL AS
CHANNELED FLOW IN THE MOHAWK VALLEY. WHILE THE WIND DIRECTION IS
FAVORABLE MAINLY 270-280 DEGREES...THE LACK OF A STRONG THERMAL
GRADIENT IN WAKE OF FRONT MAY NOT PRODUCE THE BEST MIXING TO THE
SURFACE. WILL CONTINUE TO MENTION IN HWO FOR NOW. IN THE WAKE OF
THE COLD FRONT ON THURSDAY EXPECT THAT SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL
PREVAIL WITH ONLY SOME MINOR LAKE EFFECT ACROSS THE WESTERN
ADIRONDACKS. THERE WILL ALSO BE A GRADUAL TRANSITION FROM RAIN
SHOWERS TO SNOW SHOWERS DURING THE AFTERNOON AS TEMPERATURES DROP
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON INTO EVENING HOURS. MORNING HIGHS WILL
GENERALLY BE IN THE 40S.

ON THURSDAY NIGHT WINDS WILL GRADUALLY SLACKEN ALONG WITH
SLOW...GRADUAL CLEARING...AWAY FROM THE LAKE MOISTURE. SOME LAKE
EFFECT SNOW SHOWER ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED ACROSS THE WESTERN
ADIRONDACKS WITH GENERALLY AROUND AN INCH ACCUMULATION. LOWS
THURSDAY NIGHT SHOULD BE IN THE MID TEENS TO UPPER 20S.

ON FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT GENERALLY EXPECT SEASONABLE TEMPS AND
CLEARING SKIES AS HIGH PRESSURE GRADUALLY NOSES INTO THE REGION
FROM NORTH OF THE UPPER GREAT LAKES. HIGHS EXPECTED TO BE IN THE
MID 20S TO UPPER 30S AND LOWS IN THE MID SINGLE DIGITS TO MID
TEENS.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
A WEAK -NAO/-PNA PATTERN CONTINUES IN THE EXTENDED PORTION OF THE
FORECAST WITH AN ACTIVE STORM TRACK BEING SOUTH OF UPSTATE NY AND
NEW ENGLAND...OVER THE MID ATLANTIC REGION.  THE MID LEVEL FLOW
BECOMES QUASI ZONAL...AS AN OCCLUDED LOW FINALLY LIFTS NORTHEAST
INTO LABRADOR ON SATURDAY.  THE W/NW FLOW ALOFT CONTINUES...WITH A
WAVE NEAR THE TN VALLEY/MID ATLANTIC REGION MOVING EASTWARD.  THE
GLOBAL ENSEMBLES...ECMWF...AND OPERATIONAL GFS SHOW THIS SOUTHWARD
TRACK OF THE FCST AREA.  WEAK SFC HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE RIDGING IN
FROM SOUTHEASTERN ONTARIO TO KEEP IT SEASONABLY COLD AND DRY FOR
WEEKEND.  WE WILL HAVE TO MONITOR CAREFULLY...IF THERE IS A
NORTHWARD TREND FOR THE CYCLONE PASSING SOUTH OF THE REGION.

PRESIDENTS DAY INTO THE MIDWEEK...THE GLOBAL ENSEMBLES SHOW A MEAN
1032 HPA SFC ANTICYCLONE BUILDING IN FROM W/NW ONTARIO WITH COLDER
THAN NORMAL AIR FOR MID FEB.  TEMPS AT H850 BY TUESDAY ARE AROUND A
STANDARD DEVIATION COLDER THAN NORMAL.  H850 TEMPS FALL TO -15C TO
-18C BY TUE.  THUS...THIS HIGH COULD KNOCK TEMPS BELOW NORMAL FOR
THE HOLIDAY AND TUESDAY...AND KEEP IT FAIRLY DRY WITH JUST A SLIGHT
CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS/FLURRIES WITH A SHORT WAVE MOVING THROUGH IN
THE NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT MON NIGHT THRU TUE.

OVERALL...TEMPS WILL LIKELY FINISH SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL IN THE
EXTENDED...AND PCPN WILL BE BELOW NORMAL.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
SHOWERS WERE STREAMING ACROSS CENTRAL NEW YORK AND WILL ARRIVE AT
THE AIRPORTS BETWEEN ABOUT 20Z AND 24Z.  CONDITIONS WILL DETERIORATE
TO IFR CIGS AS LOWER LEVELS AS INDICATED UPSTREAM.  CONTINUED WARM
ADVECTION OVER MELTING SNOW COUPLED WITH INCREASED SURFACE RHS WILL
RESULT IN IFR VSBYS AS WELL...ALL GENERALLY BY ABOUT 22Z-02Z.  HAVE
ALB A LITTLE WORSE AS IT LOOKS LIKE BRUNT OF PRECIP WILL MOVE
THROUGH THIS AREA.  CONDITIONS IMPROVE...BUT WINDS PICK UP.  WIND
SHEAR WILL PROBABLY REMAIN JUST SHORT OF CRITERIA THROUGH ABOUT THE
LATTER THIRD OF THE TAF PERIOD...ALTHOUGH WINDS INCREASE
SUBSTANTIALLY BEHIND THE FRONT...BOTH AT THE SURFACE AND ALOFT...
WITH PRETTY STRONG GUSTS JUST SOUTH OF THE LOW AT ALB AND POU.
TIMING OF THE FRONT RIGHT NOW IS FOR IT TO PASS THROUGH IN THE
08-12Z TIME FRAME ON THU...SWITCHING WINDS FROM LIGHT S TO STRONG
WSW.  AT GFL AND ALB...PRECIP COULD END AS A BRIEF PERIOD OF
-SHRA...BUT HAVE NOT INDICATED THIS IN THE TAFS AS THE PRECIP MAY
CONTINUE BEYOND 18Z.

A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BLOCKS LOW PRESSURE OVER THE OHIO VALLEY ON
SATURDAY FROM HEADING THIS WAY.  SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES WILL
RESULT...SO MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED DURING THE WEEKEND.

OUTLOOK...
THU PM-FRI...IMPROVING TO VFR. VERY WINDY...GRADUALLY LESSENING.
VCTY SCT LAKE EFFECT FLURRIES.
SAT-SUN...VFR...NO SIG WX.  WINDS SUBSIDING.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
     A FLOOD WATCH FOR ICE JAM FLOODING HAS BEEN ISSUED INTO
THURSDAY EVENING FROM THE MOHAWK RIVER VALLEY...SARATOGA
REGION...AND BENNINGTON COUNTY SOUTH...

ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES IN THE 40S AND 50S ARE EXPECTED TODAY INTO
EARLY THURSDAY. THE MILD AIR MASS WILL CAUSE SIGNIFICANT SNOW MELT
/ESPECIALLY IN THE VALLEYS/ AND RUNOFF...WHICH WHEN COMBINED WITH
RUNOFF FROM RAINFALL...SHOULD CAUSE RIVER RISES OF HALF TO NEAR
BANKFULL. RAINFALL FROM THE COLD FRONT WEDNESDAY NIGHT/THURSDAY
MORNING WILL RANGE FROM A QUARTER TO THREE QUARTERS OF AN INCH.
RISES ON RIVERS SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT TO BEGIN BREAKING UP/MOVING
ICE ALONG MOST STREAMS OUTSIDE THE ADIRONDACKS...LAKE GEORGE
REGION AND SOUTHEAST VERMONT...INCLUDING THE MOHAWK RIVER AND ITS
TRIBUTARIES...THE SCHOHARIE CREEK...THE BATTEN KILL...THE HOOSIC
RIVER...THE HOUSATONIC RIVER AND THE MID HUDSON TRIBUTARIES
INCLUDING THE WALLKILL RIVER. PLEASE SEE THE FFA STATEMENT FOR
MORE DETAILS.

THE SNOW WATER EQUIVALENT IN THE VALLEY LOCATIONS RANGES FROM ONE TO
THREE INCHES...WHILE THE CATSKILLS...AND BERKSHIRES HAVE THREE TO
SIX INCHES.  THE SRN GREENS...AND SRN ADIRONDACK REGION HAVE THE
DENSEST SNOW PACK OF 6 TO 12 INCHES OF LIQUID EQUIVALENT.

SEASONABLY COLD AND MAINLY DRY WEATHER FRIDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND
WILL DECREASE FLOWS AND ALLOW THE SNOWPACK TO REFREEZE. ICE SHOULD
THICKEN ON THE WATERWAYS ONCE AGAIN.

FOR DETAILS ON PAST REPORTED ICE JAM LOCATIONS PLEASE SEE OUR ICE
JAM REFERENCE AT WWW.WEATHER.GOV/ALBANY.

FOR DETAILS ON THE RIVERS...PLEASE VISIT THE ADVANCED HYDROLOGIC
PREDICTION SERVICE /AHPS/ GRAPHS ON OUR WEBSITE.
