.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE WILL INTENSIFY AND MOVE NORTHEAST FROM
DELMARVA TONIGHT TO THE GULF MAINE LATE MONDAY. IT WILL DRAW COLD
AIR INTO THE REGION IN ITS WAKE. HIGH PRESSURE WILL RIDGE INTO THE
THE NORTHEAST MONDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. ANOTHER STORM WILL MOVE
THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES REGION MID TO LATE IN THE WEEK BRINGING
ANOTHER THREAT OF SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 1 AM THIS MORNING/...
AS OF 1 AM...BOUNDARY HAS MADE IT THROUGH ALL BUT SOUTHERN
LITCHFIELD COUNTY WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE 20S AND 30S ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA. SURFACE LOW IS OVER NEW JERSEY HEADING FOR THE NEW YORK
METROPOLITAN AREA AND SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. SLEET HOLDING ON HERE
AT THE NWS OFFICE. HAVE UPDATED P-TYPE CONTINUING THE TRANSITION
THROUGH A WINTRY MIX...SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN...TO SNOW. BANDING
HAS SET UP ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE WESTERN MOHAWK VALLEY AND
SOUTHERN ADIRONDACKS. IN HAMILTON COUNTY A SPOTTER IN WELLS HAS
REPORTED 4 INCHES OF NEW SNOW IN LAST 6 HOUR. NO CHANGES TO
HEADLINE AT THIS TIMES. WILL ADDRESS WITH FORECAST UPDATE LATER
THIS MORNING AFTER WORK THROUGH NEW MODEL DATA.
AS OF 730 PM...AREA REALLY GETTING POUNDED BY A STORM MOVING
QUICKLY OVER EASTERN VIRGINIA...NORTHEAST NEAR THE I-95 CORRIDOR.
THIS STORM WAS LIFTING EXCEPTIONALLY MOIST AIR (DEWPOINTS OVER 60
DEGREES) OVER AN INCREASE SHALLOW ARCTIC AIR MASS WITH
TEMPERATURES AT OR BELOW FREEZING. THE RESULT HAS BEEN HEAVY RAIN
TO THE SOUTHEAST OF CAPITAL DISTRICT...FREEZING RAIN IN THE
CAPITAL DISTRICT...SLEET JUST TO THE NORTHWEST OF THE TRI-CITY
AREAS...SNOW FROM GLENS FALLS AND POINTS NORTH AND WEST FROM
THERE.
THE ARCTIC FRONT WENT THROUGH POUGHKEEPSIE DURING THE PAST
HOUR...DROPPING TEMPS THERE FROM 50 TO 37 IN LESS THAN AN HOUR
WITH GUSTS TO 35 MPH!
THIS MIGHT TURN OUT TO BE OUR MOST CHALLENGING STORM OF THE WINTER
THAT WILL NOT LET UP. THERE ARE PLENTY OF FLOODING ISSUES TO THE
SOUTH AND EAST OF ALBANY...ICING CONCERNS LOCALLY WHICH COULD VERY
WELL LEAD TO WIDESPREAD POWER OUTAGES...AND THE SNOW NORTHWEST.
ICE HAS ACCRETED A TENTH OF AN INCH OR MORE LOCALLY...WHILE 2
INCHES OF SNOW HAS FALLEN IN AMSTERDAM (PLEASE REFER TO OUR PUBLIC
INFORMATION STATEMENT) FOR ALL OUR CURRENT REPORTS.
WE HAVE ADDED DUTCHESS AND NORTHWEST LITCHFIELD COUNTY TO
ADVISORIES SINCE THE COLD AIR HAS ALREADY WORKED DOWN THERE.
TEMPERATURES SHOULD APPROACH FREEZING BY 10 PM. BY THAT
TIME...LOOK FOR FREEZING RAIN TO SWITCH TO SLEET AND SNOW IN THE
CAPITAL DISTRICT...AND ALL SNOW FURTHER NORTH AND WEST. THERE IS
STILL A LOT OF PRECIPITATION THAT WILL TRAVERSE ACROSS
REGION...PROBABLY AN ADDITIONAL INCH (OR MORE) TONIGHT WITH SOME
AREAS CLOSER TO TWO INCHES.
BY 10 PM...LOOK FOR 3-6 INCHES OF ADDITIONAL SNOW ACCUMULATIONS
WELL NORTHWEST OF ALBANY...1-3 INCHES OF SNOW AND SLEET TO ABOUT
ALBANY...WITH UP TO A QUARTER OF AN INCH OF ICE ACCRETION. FURTHER
SOUTH...LOOK FOR ABOUT HALF AN INCH OF ADDITIONAL
RAINFALL...ADDING MORE RUNOFF TO THE RIVERS...AND EVENTUALLY
CHANGING TO FREEZING RAIN SOUTHWARD TO ABOUT POUGHKEEPSIE.
*********PREVIOUS NEAR TERM FORECAST****************
CDFNT FM PT JERVIS TO SVT. SFC LOW ORGANIZING OVER DELMARVA WILL
INTENSIFY AND MOVE NORTHEAST. FAST MOVING 500HPA SHORT WAVE TROF
WILL AIDE IN THE SFC LOW INTENSIFICATION PROCESS. SHALLOW COLD
LAYER BEHIND COLD FRONT WILL DEEPEN AS ANNA FRONT TYPE PRECIPITATION
CONTINUES WITH TRANSITION TO ZR/IP THAN SNOW. PTYPE ALREADY SNOW
OVER ADIRONDACKS AND W MHWK VLY. FURTHER EAST RAIN WILL PERSIST
AND FLOOD WATCHES AND WARNINGS REMAIN.
GRIDS USE A BLEND OF NAM/GFS GUIDANCE...AND HPC QPF. GRADUALLY
DURING THE EVENING PTYPE WILL TRANSITION TO MIX THEN SNOW SNOW IN
ALL BUT THE MOST SOUTHEAST ZONES.
OUR CONFIDENCE ON PTYPE REMAINS LOWER THAN DESIRED. EXPANDED
WINTER STORM WARNINGS ONE TIER OF COUNTIES FURTHER SOUTH MAINLY
FOR SNOW DUE TO HIGH QPFS AND TMPS ALREADY CLOSING IN ON FREEZING
IN ALB. TRANSITIONAL PERIOD OF ZR/IP SHOULD LAST 1-3 HOURS.
STORM DEPARTS MONDAY WITH PCPN TAPERING OFF.

.SHORT TERM /1 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
FAIRLY QUIET INTERIM PERIOD IN WAKE OF SFC LOW AS 500HPA RIDGE
BUILDS OVER THE EASTERN SEABOARD...BUT RESULTS IN A COLD HIGH OVER
QUEBEC RIDGING SOUTH. SOME PATCHY WAA MIDS CLOUDS DRIFT NE ON ITS
WEST SIDE. BUT GENERALLY FAIR AND PC/CLEAR WITH BLO NORMAL TEMPS.

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
BOTH THE LATEST 12 UTC ECMWF/GFS SHOW LOW PRESSURE WILL PASS WEST OF
THE REGION FOR THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY. THERE MAY BE A BRIEF PERIOD OF
SNOW OR MIXED PRECIP ON THE FRONT END OF THE PRECIP FOR THURSDAY
MORNING...BEFORE SOUTHERLY WINDS AHEAD OF THE STORM ALLOW FOR TEMPS
TO RISE ABOVE FREEZING IN ALL AREAS AND TURN PRECIP OVER TO RAIN.
HAVE GONE WITH LIKELY POPS FOR THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY NIGHT FOR A
PERIOD OF STEADY RAIN.
THE MODELS DISAGREE ON THE ENDING OF THE PRECIP...WITH THE GFS A BIT
QUICKER IN MOVING THE COLD FRONT THROUGH THE REGION BY FRIDAY
MORNING. WILL GO WITH HIGH CHC POPS FOR FRIDAY. DEPENDING ON HOW
QUICKLY THE STORM MOVES THROUGH...AND JUST HOW QUICKLY COLDER AIR
CAN WRAP IN ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE STORM...THERE IS THE POTENTIAL
FOR A CHANGE OVER BACK TO SNOW BEFORE ENDING FOR SOME POINT LATE
FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY NIGHT...ESP IF THE ECMWF SCENARIO IS CORRECT.
WILL GO WITH CHC POPS FOR RAIN/SNOW FOR LATE FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY
NIGHT TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS POSSIBILITY.
THE MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW DIFFERENCES INTO THE WEEKEND...AT BOTH
THE SFC AND ALOFT. THE ECMWF LINGERS THE UPPER LOW FROM THE LATE
WEEK STORM OVER OUR REGION INTO THE WEEKEND...WHILE THE GFS SHOWS A
CUTOFF AND SFC STORM MEANDERING OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST. EITHER
SCENARIO WOULD WARRANT LOW CHC OR SLIGHT CHC POPS...SO WILL GO WITH
A CHC OF SHOWERS OVER THE WEEKEND...WITH P-TYPE ELEVATION OR
DIURNALLY DEPENDENT. DAYTIME TEMPS LOOK TO REACH THE 40S IN MOST
AREAS...WITH 20S TO LOW 30S FOR MINS.

.HYDROLOGY...
A FLOOD WATCH IS FOR THE REGION SOUTH OF THE ADIRONDACKS FOR THE
POSSIBILITY OF FLOODING MOSTLY DUE TO ICE BREAKUP AND JAMMING IN
THE RIVERS RESULTING FROM THE MELTING AND RAIN EARLIER TODAY. ALSO
FLOODING MAY BE A PROBLEM ON SOME OF THE RIVERS SOUTH AND EAST OF
THE ALBANY AREA...INCLUDING THE METTAWEE...HOOSIC... AND THE
HOUSATONIC...FROM RAIN AND SNOWMELT. A COMBINATION OF TEMPERATURES
WARMING INTO THE 40S AND 50S LAST NIGHT AND TODAY ALONG WITH RAIN
FROM A COLD FRONT PASSING THROUGH THE REGION HAS MELTED SOME OF
THE HEAVY SNOW COVERING THE REGION ALONG WITH ADDITIONAL RUNOFF
FROM THE RAIN. THE FRONT EXTENDED FROM SOUTHWESTERN VERMONT TO
NEAR THE DELAWARE GAP LATE SUNDAY AFTERNOON...AND IT WILL CONTINUE
TO SLOWLY MOVE EASTWARD. MEANWHILE A LOW MOVING UP THE EAST COAST
WILL CONTINUE TO PUMP MOISTURE FROM OFF THE OCEAN INTO THE REGION.
ALONG AND JUST WEST OF THE FRONT...THERE WILL BE A WINTRY MIX OF
SLEET
FREEZING RAIN...AND POSSIBLE SNOW...WITH SNOW WEST AND
NORTH OF THAT...AND RAIN...LIKELY TO BE HEAVY AT TIMES...SOUTH
AND EAST OF THE FRONT.
SEVERAL INCHES OF HEAVY WET SNOW ARE POSSIBLE AS COLDER AIR
MOVES INTO THE CAPITAL REGION...EASTERN CATSKILLS...N-CNTRL
TACONICS...AND WESTERN NEW ENGLAND TONIGHT...CHANGES RAIN
FIRST TO A WINTRY MIX AND THEN TO SNOW. RAIN THAT HAS ALREADY
FALLEN AND MELTING SNOW HAS ALREADY BROUGHT SEVERAL RIVERS
CLOSE TO OR OVER THEIR BANKS. IN ADDITION...AS FLOWS AND
WATER LEVELS INCREASE...ICE ON THE RIVERS IS LIKELY TO BREAK
UP. ICE JAMMING COULD THEN OCCUR WHICH COULD CAUSE FLOODING
WITH LOWER FLOWS THAN IF THE CHANNELS WERE CLEAR.
THE COLDER AIR ON MONDAY WILL ALLOW THE RIVERS TO SLOWLY LEVEL OFF
AND THEN BEGIN TO RECEDE THROUGHOUT THE DAY. DRIER WEATHER IS
EXPECTED FOR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO
THE REGION.
