AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
208 PM EDT THU MAR 17 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE...CENTERED NEAR CAPE HATTERAS...WILL DOMINATE OUR
WEATHER THIS AFTERNOON WITH SUNSHINE AND HIGHS FROM THE LOW 50S
TO THE LOW 60S OVER THE REGION. A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVING
ACROSS SOUTHERN CANADA WILL SPREAD CLOUDS AND SHOWERS INTO THE
REGION LATE TONIGHT WITH THE GREATEST THREAT NORTH OF THE MOHAWK
VALLEY. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH FRIDAY RESULTING IN
DRY...BUT SOMEWHAT WINDY WEATHER FOR THE WEEKEND WITH MORE
SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
AS OF 100 PM EDT...CLOUDS HAD MOSTLY CLEARED FROM THE REGION AND
TEMPERATURES WERE ROCKETING UP ACCORDINGLY. THEREFORE RAISED THE
MAXIMUM TEMPS 4 TO 7 DEGREES ACROSS THE REGION...WITH AFTERNOON
HIGHS NOW EXPECTED TO REACH THE 50S AND 60S OVER MUCH OF THE
REGION.

PREVIOUS NEAR TERM DISCUSSIONS...
AS OF 930 AM EDT...JUST A FEW MINOR CHANGES TO THE GRIDS. UPDATED
TEMPS...DEWPOINTS...WINDS...AND SKY COVER TO LATEST OBS AND TRENDS.
PREVIOUSLY FCST HIGH TEMPS LOOK GOOD...UPPER 40S ACROSS THE
ADIRONDACKS AND HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF SOUTHERN VERMONT TO AROUND
60 IN THE LOWER HUDSON AND HOUSATONIC VALLEYS. A BAND OF HIGH
CLOUDS EXTENDING FROM LAKE CHAMPLAIN TO THE DELAWARE WATER GAP
WERE MOVING EASTWARD AROUND KNOTS. ONCE THIS BAND MOVES THROUGH
LOOKS LIKE SEVERAL HOURS OF SUNSHINE IN STORE FOR THE REGION.

AS OF 650 AM EDT...HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO RIDGE IN FROM NEAR
THE PIEDMONT REGION. THE LOW CLOUDS HAVE FINALLY ERODED ACROSS
MOST OF THE FCST AREA...AND WE HAVE GONE TO PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLEAR
CONDITIONS. WE HAVE ADJUSTED THE GRIDS TO ACCOUNT FOR THESE
TRENDS. THERE HAS BEEN MINIMAL PATCHY FOG. WE HAVE REMOVED THE
PATCHY FOG FROM THE GRIDS/TEXT FCST PRODUCTS. HOURLY
T/TD/RH/APPARENT TEMP TRENDS WERE REDONE BASED ON THE LAST 3-5
HOURS OF OBSERVATIONS. OVERALL...A LOVELY ST PATRICKS DAY IS
SHAPING WITH LOTS OF SUNSHINE...AND ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS.

AS OF 330 AM EDT...LOW STRATUS CONTINUES TO SHRINK OVER ERN NY
AND WRN NEW ENGLAND VIA THE 11-3.9U SATELLITE LOOP. THESE CLOUDS
ARE PERSISTING IN THE WAKE OF LOW PRESSURE MOVING INTO THE BAY OF
FUNDY. THE CLOUDS ARE PREDOMINANTLY OVER THE MOHAWK RIVER
VALLEY...WRN NEW ENGLAND...AND THE WRN DACKS. SUBSIDENCE IN THE
WAKE OF THE SYSTEM...AND HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN FROM THE TN
VALLEY...AND THE LOWER MID ATLANTIC REGION WILL YIELD PARTLY TO
MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES...AND VERY PLEASANT WEATHER. A LOW AND MID
LEVEL SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW OF AIR WILL ALLOW H850 TEMPS TO RISE INTO
THE 4 TO 6C RANGE. EXPECT MAX TEMPS TO BE 10 TO 15 DEGREES ABOVE
NORMAL WITH HIGHS IN THE MID 50S TO NEAR 60F IN THE VALLEYS...AND
M40S TO M50S OVER THE MTNS.

SOME CIRRUS WILL START TO INCREASE FROM THE CAPITAL REGION NORTH
AND WEST TOWARDS SUNSET...AS LOW PRESSURE...AND ITS ATTENDANT WARM
FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE UPPER GREAT LAKES REGION.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
SATURDAY NIGHT...THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS LIKE A CLIPPER MOVING
QUICKLY EASTWARD IN THE NEARLY ZONAL MID LEVEL FLOW ALOFT. THE
NAM/CAN REG/GFS/ECMWF ARE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT THE SFC WAVE
WILL REMAIN NORTH OF THE ST LAWRENCE RIVER VALLEY. WE LEANED
CLOSER TO THE NAM TIMING...WHERE THE BEST ISENTROPIC LIFT WITH THE
WARM FRONT WILL BE NORTH OF THE MOHAWK RIVER VALLEY/CAPITAL
DISTRICT. WE KEPT HIGH LIKELY AND LOW CATEGORICAL POPS IN THE NRN
ZONES AFTER MIDNIGHT. THE MILD AIR MASS IN PLACE WILL KEEP MIN
TEMPS ABOVE FREEZING OVER THE FCST AREA...WITH GENERALLY MID 30S
TO L40S. FROM THE CAPITAL REGION SOUTH...WE HAVE HIGH CHC TO SLIGHT
CHC VALUES IN THE GRIDS FOR SHOWERS INTO FRI MORNING.

FRIDAY...THE CLIPPER LIKE LOW INTENSIFIES...AND DEEPENS AS IT
REACHES THE GULF OF ST LAWRENCE AND THE CANADIAN MARITIMES DURING
THE DAY. THE BEST CHC OF SHOWERS WITH THE COLD FRONT WILL BE IN
THE MORNING. THE TIGHTENING LOW LEVEL SFC PRESSURE GRADIENT BTWN
THE DEPARTING CYCLONE AND A LARGE DOME OF CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE
OVER JAMES BAY WILL YIELD BRISK CONDITIONS WITH GOOD FUNNELING
DOWN THE MOHAWK RIVER VALLEY. EXPECT WINDS OF 15 TO 25 MPH WITH
SOME GUSTS AROUND 40 MPH /ESPECIALLY IN THE CAPITAL REGION/. MAX
TEMPS WILL BE TRICKY WITH THE SW FLOW SHIFTING TO THE WEST...SOME
COMPRESSIONAL WARMING/DOWN SLOPING IS POSSIBLE IN THE HUDSON RIVER
VALLEY. EXPECT HIGHS IN THE U50S TO M60S FROM THE CAPITAL DISTRICT
SOUTH AND EAST...WITH GENERALLY U40S TO M50S TO THE NORTH AND
WEST. WE ONLY PLACED A SLIGHT OR LOW CHC OF SHOWERS ALONG THE SPINE OF
THE SRN GREENS IN VT...AND WEST OF THE HUDSON RIVER VALLEY IN THE
AFTERNOON. THE STRONG SUBSIDENCE IN THE WAKE OF THE FROPA SHRIVELS
UP ANY PCPN.

FRIDAY NIGHT...BETTER COLD AIR ADVECTION OCCURS IN THE WAKE OF THE
COLD FRONT. THE H500 FLOW CONTINUES TO BE FLAT DESPITE HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDING IN FROM ONTARIO AND JAMES BAY. THE GFS HAS H850
TEMPS FALLING BACK TO ABOUT -5C OVER THE CAPITAL REGION BY 12Z.
LOWS WILL GENERALLY BE IN THE M20S TO L30S IN THE VALLEYS...AND
TEENS TO M20S OVER THE MTNS.

SATURDAY-SATURDAY NIGHT...THE GUIDANCE IS HAVING A HARD TIME
RESOLVING A SHORT-WAVE MOVING QUICKLY IN THE ZONAL FLOW ACROSS THE
REGION. THERE IS NOT MUCH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IN PLACE . THE ECMWF
HAS SOME VERY LIGHT QPF GENERATED BY THE VORT MAX. THE GFS HAS A
WEAK SFC REFLECTION OF A WAVE PASSING OVER THE UPPER MID ATLANTIC
REGION. WE PLACED SOME SLIGHT CHC POPS FOR A RAIN OR SNOW SHOWERS
GRAZING THE SRN ZONES SOUTH OF THE CAPITAL REGION...BUT AGAIN THE
SYNOPTIC FORCING LOOKS VERY WEAK FOR ANY ROBUST CHANCES OF PCPN AT
THIS TIME. WE LEANED CLOSER TO THE GFSMOS GUIDANCE FOR MAX TEMPS
WITH HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE M40S TO NEAR 50F IN THE VALLEYS...AND
U30S TO L40S OVER THE MTNS. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN AT NIGHT WITH
CLEARING SKIES...LIGHT TO CALM WINDS...COLD AND DRY WEATHER.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THE EXTENDED PERIOD STARTS OFF COOL AND DRY AS A LARGE RIDGE OF HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS ACROSS THE REGION ON SUNDAY BEFORE MOVING OFF THE
NEW ENGLAND COAST LATE SUNDAY NIGHT. EXPECT HIGHS ON SUNDAY TO BE
GENERALLY IN THE 40S...ALTHOUGH SOME UPPER 30S ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS
THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS...AND LOWS SUNDAY NIGHT RANGING FROM THE
UPPER TEENS NORTHWEST TO MID 20S SOUTHEAST.

THE REMAINDER OF THE LONG TERM PERIOD FROM MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY
LOOKS ACTIVE...ALTHOUGH MAJOR DIFFERENCE EXIST BTWN THE GGEM...ECMWF
AND GFS BOTH AT THE SURFACE AND ALOFT ESPECIALLY BY TUESDAY. THE MODELS
KEEP THE FA DRY THROUGH MONDAY MORNING WITH PRECIPITATION AHEAD OF
THE NEXT SHORT WAVE ARRIVING MONDAY AFTERNOON. ALL OF THE GUIDANCE
STARTS OUT WITH THE SHORT WAVE IN THE VICINITY OF THE WESTERN GREAT
LAKES MONDAY MORNING WITH A WARM FRONT LIFTING NORTHEAST FROM THE OH
VALLEY TOWARDS THE NORTHEAST. EXPECT HIGHS ON MONDAY TO BE IN THE
40S WITH THE PRECIPITATION MONDAY AFTERNOON IN THE FORM OF RAIN.
THIS FIRST BATCH OF PCPN IS EXPECTED TO LINGER INTO MONDAY NIGHT AS
THE FIRST SHORT WAVE DRAGS A COLD FRONT INTO OUR REGION AT WHICH TIME
THE RAIN IS EXPECTED TO MIX WITH AND CHANGE TO SNOW IN MOST AREAS
OVERNIGHT AS LOWS ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN THE MID 20S TO MID 30S.

FOR THE TUESDAY TO WEDNESDAY TIME FRAME THE ISSUE IS WHETHER OR NOT
THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY ASSOCIATED WITH THE FIRST SHORT WAVE PUSHES
SOUTH OF THE REGION OR STALLS IN OUR VICINITY AS SUBSEQUENT SHORT
WAVES TRACK EAST ALONG IT. THE GFS SUPPORTS THE FORMER AT LEAST FOR
TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT WHILE THE ECMWF AND GGEM KEEP THE BOUNDARY
CLOSER TO THE FA SUPPORTING THE LATER. AT THIS POINT WILL LEAVE
CHANCE POPS IN THE FORECAST FOR TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT WITH
MAINLY RAIN SHOWERS ON TUESDAY AS TEMPS RISE INTO THE 40S NORTH TO
MID TO UPPER 50S SOUTH AND A MIXTURE OF RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS TUESDAY
NIGHT WITH TEMPS FALLING BACK INTO THE MID 20S TO AROUND 40.

ON WEDNESDAY THERE APPEARS TO BE BETTER CONSENSUS THAT AT LEAST THE
SOUTHERN TWO THIRDS OF FA WILL HAVE PRECIP AS THE ECMWF AND GFS BOTH
HAVE ANOTHER WAVE MOVING EAST TO THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC COAST. THE GFS
HAS A MUCH STRONGER SURFACE WAVE...ALTHOUGH QPF AMOUNTS SEEM TO BE
SIMILAR. FOR NOW HAVE TEMPS ON WEDNESDAY RANGING FROM THE MID TO
UPPER 30S NORTHWEST TO UPPER 40S TO AROUND 50 SOUTHEAST.

EXPECT THAT TEMPS DURING THE PERIOD WILL AVERAGE NEAR TO SLIGHTLY
ABOVE NORMAL IN MOST AREAS WITH PRECIPITATION WELL ABOVE
NORMAL...EXCEPT POSSIBLY ACROSS FAR NORTHERN AREAS WHERE
PRECIPITATION MAY AVERAGE BELOW NORMAL DEPENDING ON HOW FAR SOUTH
THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY STALLS.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
NO HYDRO PROBLEMS ARE ANTICIPATED OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS.

THE HOUSATONIC RIVER HAS LEVELED OFF AND OPERATORS AT SHEPAUG
AND STEVENSON WILL BE BRINGING THE PONDS BACK TO NORMAL LEVELS
SINCE LITTLE IN THE WAY OF PRECIP IS FORECAST. THIS WILL CAUSE
THE RIVER BELOW STEVENSON DAM TO DROP SOME.  MELTING SNOW WILL
ONLY HAVE A SLIGHT EFFECT AS MUCH OF THE SNOW IN THE BASIN HAS
MELTED.

MELTING SNOW WILL HAVE A MORE SIGNIFICANT EFFECT ON RIVERS IN
THE ADIRONDACKS WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES TODAY IN THE 50S. SOME
OF THESE RIVERS...SUCH AS THE SCHROON...MOOSE...SACANDAGA...
AND HEADWATERS OF THE MOHAWK ABOVE UTICA...MAY RISE CLOSE TO
BANKFULL.  HOWEVER MUCH COOLER WEATHER FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY
NIGHT WILL SLOW AND STOP THE MELTING...AT LEAST TEMPORARILY.

A FAIRLY WEAK STORM SYSTEM WILL PRODUCE LIGHT PCPN IN THE FORM OF
SHOWERS ON THE ORDER OF A FEW HUNDREDTHS TO A QUARTER OF AN INCH
OVER THE REGION LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY FRIDAY. IT WILL HAVE LITTLE
...IF ANY...EFFECT ON THE RIVERS. DRY WEATHER IS FORECAST FOR THE
WEEKEND INTO EARLY MONDAY...BEFORE ANOTHER FAST MOVING SYSTEM FROM
THE GREAT LAKES REGION BRINGS LIGHT PCPN MONDAY PM INTO TUESDAY.

AND FORECAST RIVER STAGES AND LAKE ELEVATIONS...PLEASE VISIT THE
ADVANCED HYDROLOGIC PREDICTION SERVICE /AHPS/ GRAPHS ON OUR WEBSITE.
