AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
1030 AM EST THU FEB 25 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE UP ALONG THE ATLANTIC
SEABOARD TODAY AND TONIGHT...THEN TRACK INLAND BETWEEN NEW YORK
CITY AND SCRANTON. THIS TRACK WILL BRING WARMER AIR INTO THE AREA
WHICH MEANS A CHANGE OVER TO RAIN FROM ALBANY AND POINTS
EAST...GENERALLY EAST OF THE HUDSON RIVER. HEAVY WET SNOW WILL
FALL ACROSS THE EASTERN CATSKILLS...THE MOHAWK VALLEY AND WESTERN
ADIRONDACKS.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 10 AM...THE RAIN HAS CHANGED TO TO SNOW AT ALBANY AND FURTHER
SOUTH. COOLING OF THE COLUMN DUE TO MELTING SNOW FLAKES RESULTED TO
THE SWITCHOVER. THUS FAR SNOW HAS NOT BEEN STICKING IN AND AROUND
CESTM. TEMPERATURE DID DROP TO 33 DEGREES. FURTHER NORTH...ALL
RAIN...BUT IT HAS CHANGED TO SNOW ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE MOUNTAINS.

WHAT MAKES THIS A VERY CHALLENGING FORECAST IS THAT THIS
AFTERNOON...THERE WILL BE A BATTLE BETWEEN THE WARM AIR ADVECTION
COMING INTO THE MID LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE VERSUS THE "COOLING" OF
THE COLUMN DUE TO THE MELTING FLAKES. NEW GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO
INDICATE THAT THE WARM NOSE WILL WIN OUT BY LATER THIS
AFTERNOON...AND MOST VALLEY AREAS SHOULD GO TO RAIN. THE ONLY
EXCEPTION MIGHT BE DOWN IN THE MID HUDSON VALLEY...AS COLD AIR
BEGINS WRAPPING AROUND THE BASE OF THE STORM...WHICH MIGHT PROLONG
SNOW DOWN THERE A LITTLE MORE.

FOR NOW...UPDATED THE HOURLY GRIDS AND ADDED A LITTLE MORE SNOW TO
SOME SECTIONS (WHERE SNOW IS FALLING). AGAIN....NO ACCUMULATION HERE
BUT PROBABLY ANY HIGHER ELEVATIONS TO THE WEST OR EVEN THE IMMEDIATE
EAST SOME ACCUMULATION IS TAKING PLACE.

DID NOT CHANGE HIGH TEMPS OR ANY HEADLINES WITH THIS PACKAGE.

********PREVIOUS NEAR TERM DISCUSSION********************

VERY MESSY SITUATION EXPECTED ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH TONIGHT.
BASICALLY A MASSIVE STORM IS DEVELOPING WITH ALL THE
CHARACTERISTICS OF A HISTORIC STORM...INCLUDING VERY HIGH AMOUNTS
OF PRECIPITATION...HIGH WINDS...AND BEING CUT OFF FROM THE
STEERING FLOW...SHOULD BE OF LONG DURATION. CURRENTLY RAIN AND
DRIZZLE IS OCCURRING OVER MUCH OF THE REGION...WITH LIGHT SNOW IN
WESTERN AREAS. ONCE UPPER DYNAMICS APPROACH...AND CLOUD TOPS COOL
OVER THE REGION...THE RAIN SNOW LINE SHOULD SET UP IN THE VICINITY
OF THE NY AND WESTERN NEW ENGLAND BORDER...THEN DRIFT WEST THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING TO JUST WEST OF THE HUDSON RIVER.

SO...SOME MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW THIS MORNING WILL BECOME RAIN THIS
AFTERNOON EAST OF THE RAIN SNOW LINE. PREDOMINANTLY SNOW WILL
OCCUR WEST OF THE HUDSON RIVER. TONIGHT...MIXED PRECIPITATION
TRANSITIONS TO MOSTLY SNOW...BUT SOME MIXING WITH
SLEET...RAIN...AND LOCALIZED POCKETS OF FREEZING RAIN...AS
BOUNDARY LAYER TEMPERATURES COOL FROM SOUTH TO NORTH AROUND THE
PERIPHERY OF THE STRONG UPPER LOW. SO...AREAS AROUND THE MID
HUDSON VALLEY SHOULD SEE A CHANGE TO ALL SNOW BEFORE THE CAPITAL
DISTRICT...BERKSHIRES AND POINTS NORTH. HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE
BERKSHIRES AND SOUTHERN VT SHOULD SEE A CHANGE OVER LATER TONIGHT
AS WELL.

BASED ON THIS COMPLEX EVOLUTION...WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES HAVE
BEEN ISSUED THROUGH TONIGHT FOR THE MID HUDSON VALLEY...WHERE UP
TO AN INCH IS POSSIBLE IN VALLEYS...BUT UP TO 6 INCHES IS POSSIBLE
IN RELATIVELY HIGHER TERRAIN. THERE WILL BE A TIGHT GRADIENT
SOMEWHERE IN ULSTER AND DUTCHESS COUNTIES...SO PUTTING UP ADVISORY
FOR WORST CASE SCENARIO...WHICH MAY NOT HAPPEN UNTIL LATE IN THE
ADVISORY PERIOD. WINTER STORM WATCHES HAVE BEEN CONVERTED TO
WARNINGS IN THE ADIRONDACKS AND WESTERN MOHAWK VALLEY. A WIND
ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR SOUTHERN VT AND NORTHERN BERKSHIRES
FOR A -6 SD ANOMALOUS U WIND AT THE BOUNDARY LAYER SLAMMING THE
SOUTHERN GREEN MOUNTAINS AND NORTHERN BERKSHIRES. TEMPERATURES
TODAY WILL BE RISING 3-8 DEGREES FROM CURRENT LEVELS...AND FALLING
BACK TO THE LOWER TO MID 30S TONIGHT...COLDER IN WINTER STORM
WARNING AREAS.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE...THAT WITH THE LONG DURATION EVENT...ADDITIONAL
HEADLINES AND OR WARNING/ADVISORY EXTENSIONS ARE VERY POSSIBLE
LATER TODAY AS VARIOUS ASPECTS OF THIS POTENTIALLY HISTORICAL
STORM CONTINUE TO EVOLVE AND AS NEW DATA/GUIDANCE ARRIVES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
LOTS OF DISAGREEMENT IN GUIDANCE AS TO THE TRACK OF THE
DRIFTING...SPINNING SURFACE/UPPER FEATURE. SMALL SHIFTS IN TRACK
WILL RESULT IN BIG DIFFERENCES IN SENSIBLE WEATHER ACROSS THE
REGION. 250 MB U WIND ANOMALIES EXCEEDING -3 SD IS VERY UNUSUAL
AND SUGGESTS THIS STORM WILL STALL FOR A VERY UNUSUALLY LONG TIME.
BUT...THE STORM IS ALSO FORECASTED TO GRADUALLY WEAKEN INTO THE
WEEKEND. STILL...UPPER LEVEL IMPULSES CIRCULATING AROUND THE
PERIPHERY...WITH THE RELATIVELY COLD BOUNDARY LAYER
TEMPERATURES...PERIODS OF SNOW...POSSIBLE MIXED WITH RAIN AT
TIMES IN VALLEYS...ACROSS THE REGION WITH TOTAL STORM SNOWFALL
ACCUMULATIONS BY SATURDAY NIGHT OVER 6 INCHES FOR MOST OF NOT ALL
THE FORECAST AREA. MULTIPLE FEET OF SNOW IS POSSIBLE IN THE
CATSKILLS AND AREAS SURROUNDING THE CATSKILLS...DEPENDING ON HOW
THIS STORM ULTIMATES EVOLVES AND TRACKS. SNOW WILL BE WET...AND
WINDS IN HIGHER ELEVATIONS WILL BE STRONG...SO SOME POWER OUTAGES
STILL POSSIBLE.

AGAIN...ADDITIONAL HEADLINES POSSIBLE LATER TODAY OR TONIGHT BASED
ON NEXT STAGES OF THE STORM...AND POSSIBLE ADDITIONAL SNOW BEYOND
TONIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
ON SUNDAY THE UPPER LOW WHICH HAS HUNG AROUND STUBBORNLY FOR THE
PREVIOUS FEW DAYS WILL GRADUALLY BEGIN TO SHIFT SOUTH AND THEN
TURN EAST AND MAKE ITS EXIT INTO THE NORTH ATLANTIC ON MONDAY.
THE ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW WILL GRADUALLY WEAKEN AND BE CAPTURED
BY A MUCH DEEPER LOW WELL OFFSHORE WHICH WILL SLOWLY DRIFT
EASTWARD. MEANWHILE A LARGE HIGH PRESSURE AREA WILL BEGIN TO
WEDGE ITS WAY EAST INTO THE GREAT LAKES REGION. THE WEATHER
ON SUNDAY WILL BE UNSETTLED WITH A CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS...
WHICH MAY MIX WITH RAIN IN THE WARMER AREAS OF THE HUDSON AND
HOUSATONIC VALLEYS. THE CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION WILL DIMINISH
WITH ONLY A SLIGHT CHANCE ON MONDAY AND THE REST OF THE PERIOD
SHOULD BE DRY ASIDE FROM THE POSSIBILITY OF SOME LAKE EFFECT
SNOW SHOWERS IN THE WESTERN MOHAWK VALLEY. TEMPERATURES FOR
THIS PERIOD SHOULD AVERAGE CLOSE TO THE NORMALS OF MID 30S TO
LOW 40S FOR HIGHS AND TEENS TO MID 20S FOR LOWS.

&&

.AVIATION /16Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
NEARLY SATURATED AIR IN THE LOW LEVELS WILL RESULT IN WIDESPREAD
IFR WITH INTERVALS OF LIFR THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY...WITH CEILINGS
GENERALLY 400 TO 800 FT AGL AND VISIBILITIES 1 TO 3 MILES IN RAIN
DRIZZLE...AND MIST. THE RAIN MAY MIX WITH SNOW AT TIMES. THERE WILL
BE A FEW INTERVALS OF MVFR CONDITIONS DURING THE PERIOD...BUT CIGS
ARE LIKELY TO CHANGE FREQUENTLY. WINDS WILL BE LIGHT FROM THE NORTH
OR NORTHEAST DURING THIS MORNING BUT WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE IN
SPEED THIS AFTERNOON AND BECOME NORTH 12 TO 15 KNOTS WITH GUSTS
TO 25 KNOTS BY AROUND MIDNIGHT TONIGHT AS A STORM OFF THE COAST
BECOMES MORE INTENSE. THE CIRCULATION AROUND THIS STORM IS
EXPECTED TO BRING ENOUGH WARM AIR INTO THE REGION FOR PRECIPITATION
TO BECOME ALL RAIN BY AFTERNOON. AFTER MIDNIGHT...ENOUGH COLD AIR
IS EXPECTED TO CAUSE SOME SNOW TO MIX IN AT KGFL. FARTHER SOUTH...
THE PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO BE ALL RAIN.

LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR MAY BE POSSIBLE TOWARD...AND ESPECIALLY AFTER
00Z/FRI...AS WINDS AT 2000 FT AGL BECOME E/NE AND INCREASE TO 30-40
KT.

OUTLOOK...
FRI...MVFR CIG. CHC OF IFR WITH SNOW SHOWERS.
FRI NIGHT-SUN...MAINLY MVFR...WITH A CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS. RAIN
SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE SATURDAY AFTERNOON IN THE HUDSON VALLEY.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
ANOTHER STORM MOVING UP THE COAST WILL AGAIN SPREAD A LARGE AMOUNT
OF MOISTURE INTO THE REGION TODAY INTO FRIDAY. WITH A SURGE OF
WARM AIR OFF THE OCEAN BEING BROUGHT IN BY THE STORMS CIRCULATION
     THE PRECIPITATION NOW LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE MOSTLY RAIN IN OUR
EASTERN ZONES...WITH ONE TO ONE AND A HALF INCHES OVER MUCH OF
THE REGION AND UP TO TWO INCHES IN SOME SPOTS WHERE ENHANCED BY
THE TERRAIN. MOST OF THE REGION HAS 6 TO 18 INCHES OF SNOW ON
THE GROUND WHICH WILL SOAK UP MUCH...IF NOT ALL...OF THE RAIN
INITIALLY.  HOWEVER THE SNOWPACK ALREADY HAS A VERY HIGH WATER
CONTENT AND SOME MELTING WILL BEGIN TO TAKE PLACE THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING. THIS WILL RESULT IN A LONG SLOW RISE ON RIVERS AND
STREAMS.

SOME FLOODING OF STREETS AND PARKING AREAS IS LIKELY TO OCCUR
ESPECIALLY WHERE PILES OF SNOW INTERFERE WITH DRAINAGE.

PRECIPITATION WILL SWITCH BACK TO SNOW SHOWERS EVERYWHERE BY FRIDAY.
ADDITIONAL PRECIPITATION LOOKS FAIRLY LIGHT. MORE NUISANCE TYPE SNOW
SHOWER ACTIVITY COULD LINGER INTO THE WEEKEND WITH NO HYDRO PROBLEMS
EXPECTED.
