Area forecast discussion, Mar 31, 3:20 AM EDT, 22 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
320 AM EDT THU MAR 31 2011
.SYNOPSIS...
A NOR'EASTER WILL IMPACT THE REGION THROUGH FRIDAY WITH A LATE
SEASON WINTER STORM. THIS STORM WILL TRACK AWAY FROM THE REGION
DURING THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEKEND. IN ITS WAKE...A BRISK AND
UNSEASONABLY COOL WEATHER FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEKEND.
ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE REGION DURING THE
FIRST HALF OF NEXT WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
A WEAKENING INVERTED SURFACE TROUGH WAS MIGRATING ACROSS PA
ASSOCIATED WITH A SHORT WAVE...SEEN NICELY WITHIN THE ENHANCED
SATELLITE IMAGERY...ROTATING THROUGH WESTERN NY. RADAR IMAGERY
REVEALS AN ENHANCED REGION OF RETURNS ALONG AND NORTH OF I90 WHICH
IS A SIGNAL OF INCREASED DIVERGENCE ALOFT DOWNSTREAM FROM THE
AFOREMENTIONED SHORT WAVE AND WEAK ISENTROPIC LIFT.
FOR THE REMAINDER OF TODAY...ATMOSPHERIC COLUMN WILL SLOWLY
SATURATE AS OUR REGION BECOMES UNDER AN INCREASED INFLUENCE OF
ENTRANCE REGION UPPER JET DYNAMICS. LATEST RUC13/HRRR ALSO SUGGEST
THE INITIAL SURFACE LOW OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST THIS MORNING
WILL BEGIN TO SLOWLY MIGRATE NORTHEAST ASSISTING WITH ATLANTIC
MOISTURE ENTRAINMENT FOR AN INCREASE IN PRECIP POTENTIAL THROUGH
THE DAY. EXPERIMENTAL REFLECTIVITY'S FROM A VARIETY OF MESOSCALE
MODELS REVEAL A BAND OF LIGHT PRECIP WILL EVOLVE ACROSS THE
CENTRAL AND EASTERN SECTIONS OF THE CWFA AND WILL ATTEMPT TO
TAYLOR POPS/WX ACCORDINGLY.
AS FOR PRECIP TYPE...WITH EARLY SPRING SUN ANGLE...THIS WILL
ASSIST WITH BOUNDARY LAYER WARMING WHERE MOST OF THE PRECIP WILL
BE MAINLY RAIN. WHERE IT DOES SNOW...IT SHOULD NOT ACCUMULATE
THROUGH THE DAY DUE TO THE LIGHT FALLING PRECIP AND THE SUN
ASSISTING WITH INCREASED INSOLATION THROUGH THE CLOUDS.
TEMPERATURES IN THE VALLEYS SHOULD CLIMB INTO THE 40S WITH UPPER
30S FOR THE TERRAIN ABOVE 1000 FEET.
&&
.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
...LATE SEASON NOR'EASTER TO IMPACT THE REGION...
NCEP MODEL SUITE AND INTERNATIONAL GLOBAL MODELS HAVE NARROWED THE
GUIDANCE ENVELOPE TO INCREASE CONFIDENCE OF A SIGNIFICANT WINTER
STORM TO IMPACT THE REGION. TIMING OF THE MODERATE TO HEAVY PRECIP
OCCURS DURING THE NOCTURNAL HOURS TO ASSIST WITH BOUNDARY LAYER
COOLING FOR A MAINLY SNOW EVENT /HOWEVER...THEIR ARE EXCEPTIONS/.
THE SURFACE LOW IS A NEAR METEOROLOGICAL BOMB WITH A RAPID
DEEPENING OF THE SURFACE CYCLONE OVERNIGHT INTO FRIDAY WITH THE
SURFACE JUST EAST OF CAPE COD BY 18Z FRIDAY WITH MSLP BELOW 980MB.
TONIGHT...INITIAL ONSLAUGHT OF THIS STORM WILL ARRIVE ACROSS OUR
SOUTHERN ZONES IN THE EVENING AND THE COMBINATION OF INCREASED
UPPER DYNAMICS AND QG FORCING UNFOLDS. ITS DURING THE OVERNIGHT
THAT A RATHER IMPRESSIVE 850-700MB 2D-FGEN SIGNATURE SETS UP
ACROSS THE HEART OF THE CWA UNDER 500-300MB DIV-Q ALOFT COMBINING
WITH 850MB U-COMPONENT OF THE WIND WITH VALUES OF 3 TO 5 STANDARD
DEVIATIONS NOSING AT OUR CWA. CROSS SECTIONS REVEAL THE
AGEOSTROPHIC RESPONSE WILL BE HIGH AND EXPECTATIONS ARE FOR AN
IMPRESSIVE BAND OR BANDLETS ORIENTED NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST ACROSS
THE HEART OF THE CWA. THIS MAY LIMIT PORTIONS OF THE DACKS TO BE
ON THE WESTERN EDGE OF ACCUMULATING SNOW. PLUME DIAGRAMS ARE ALSO
QUITE HIGH FOR ALBANY WITH GEFS QPF NEAR 1.25" THICKNESS PROFILES
ALONG WITH CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE 925-850MB TEMPS...PORTIONS OF
DUTCHESS AND LITCHFIELD COUNTY MAY EXPERIENCE A MIX OF SLEET WHICH
WILL LIMIT SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS.
GIVEN THIS SCENARIO MENTIONED ABOVE...AND EXTENSIVE COLLABORATION
WITH OUR NEIGHBORING OFFICES AND HPC...WE WILL PLACE ADVISORIES
FOR HERKIMER COUNTY AND EASTERN DUTCHESS/LITCHFIELD COUNTY. FOR
HERKIMER...MAINLY FOR SNOW ACCUMULATIONS NOT FORECAST TO EXCEED
WARNING THRESHOLDS. FOR EASTERN DUTCHESS/LITCHFIELD...THE
COMBINATION OF SNOW AND SLEET TO HOLD DOWN ON ACCUMULATIONS. THE
REMAINDER OF THE REGION...WINTER STORM WARNINGS FOR HEAVY SNOW
WITH ACCUMULATIONS LIKELY CLOSE TO 1 FOOT /HIGHER VALUES INTO THE
TERRAIN/.
AS FOR SNOW RATIOS...PER BUFKIT AND COBB TECHNIQUE...SEEMS THE
AVERAGE VALUES OF 10:1 ARE TO BE EXPECTED. THIS WILL BE A RATHER
HEAVY WET SNOW THAT WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE DOWNED TREES
AND POWERLINES.
THROUGH FRIDAY...WHILE COLD ADVECTION WILL BE UNDERWAY...THE EARLY
APRIL SUN MAY COMPLICATE THE BOUNDARY LAYER WHERE VALLEY LOCATIONS
COULD SEE A RAIN/SNOW MIXTURE. AN IMPRESSIVE DEFORMATION SIGNATURE
SEEN IN THE MODELS IS EXPECTED TO BE OVER THE REGION THROUGH MOST
OF THE DAY. ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED WITH THE HIGHER
POTENTIAL INTO THE TERRAIN. WINDS WILL ALSO BE ON THE INCREASE
WHICH WILL COMPLICATE THE HAZARDS WITH THE WEIGHT OF THE SNOW ON
THOSE TREES AND POWERLINES. WIND GUSTS FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND
EVENING COULD EXCEED 25KTS.
RESIDUAL UPSLOPE FAVORED LOCATIONS WILL HANG ONTO THE SNOW A BIT
LONGER AND THE POTENTIAL FOR A MOHAWK VALLEY CONVERGENCE FOR A
LOCALIZED SNOW BAND WITHIN THE CAPITAL DISTRICT. OVERNIGHT
FRIDAY...SOMEWHAT IMPROVING CONDITIONS WITH SOME LAKE ONTARIO
RESPONSE TO LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE
DACKS...MOHAWK VALLEY AND CATSKILLS.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
ON SATURDAY...AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL CONTINUE TO BE LOCATED
OVER THE NORTHEAST. THE MODELS DON/T AGREE ON THE EXTENT OF THE
COLD AIR...WITH THE 850 HPA TEMPS ON THE 00 UTC GFS AND NAM A BIT
CHILLIER THAN THE 12 UTC ECMWF AND THE 00 GEM. IN EITHER CASE...
A COOL NW FLOW WILL KEEP TEMPS BELOW NORMAL...AND ALLOW FOR UPSLOPE
-SHSN/-SHRA FOR THE HIGH TERRAIN WEST OF THE HUDSON VALLEY ALONG
WITH SOUTHERN VT. HAVE CHC POPS FOR THOSE AREAS...AND SLIGHT CHC
FOR MOST OF THE REST OF THE REGION. HIGHS WILL RANGE FROM THE 30S
ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN TO THE MID AND UPPER 40S IN THE VALLEYS.
A CHILLY NIGHT IS IN STORE SATURDAY NIGHT WITH LOWS FROM THE MID
TEENS ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN TO THE UPPER 20S IN THE VALLEYS.
THE CYCLONIC FLOW WILL EASE FOR SUNDAY AS THE UPPER TROUGH SHIFTS
EASTWARD. STILL...THE GFS KEEPS TEMPS CHILLY...AND WOULD ALLOW FOR
SOME INSTABILITY CLOUDS /ALTHOUGH IT SHOULD REMAIN DRY/. WILL KEEP
MAX TEMPS FOR SUNDAY SIMILAR TO SAT/S HIGHS.
BY SUNDAY NIGHT...CLOUDS WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE AND THICKEN...AS A
STRONG BAROCLINIC ZONE APPROACHES FROM THE SOUTH AND WEST. MIN TEMPS
LOOK SIMILAR TO OTHER RECENT NIGHTS...FROM THE MID TEENS OVER THE
ADIRONDACKS AND SOUTHERN VERMONT TO THE MID 20S IN THE CAPITAL
DISTRICT AND THE UPPER 20S IN THE LOWER HUDSON AND HOUSATONIC
VALLEYS.
PRECIP LOOKS TO SPREAD ACROSS THE AREA FROM THE SOUTHWEST ON MONDAY
DUE TO ISENTROPIC LIFT...ALTHOUGH THE MODELS DISAGREE ON THE EXACT
TIMING...AND NORTHERN EXTENT FOR DURING THE DAY ON MONDAY. AT THIS
POINT...IT LOOKS LIKE IT SHOULD REMAIN COLD ENOUGH SO THE FRONT END
OF THE PRECIP ARRIVES AS SNOW...BEFORE WARMER AIR MOVING IN ALLOWS
FOR A CHANGE OVER TO PLAIN RAIN. THE CHANGE OVER WOULD TAKE LONGEST
IN THE NORTHERN PARTS OF THE AREA...ESPECIALLY IN SHELTERED VALLEY
AREAS. HOWEVER...THIS WILL ULTIMATELY DEPEND ON THE EXACT TRACK OF
THE STORM. WHILE THE 12 UTC ECMWF ALLOWS FOR A WESTERN TRACK ACROSS
THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES...THE GFS SLIDES THE SURFACE LOW SOUTH OF
THE REGION. AT THIS POINT...WILL CONTINUE A CHC OF PRECIP THROUGH
TUESDAY...WITH MAINLY RA FOR THE VALLEYS...AND RA/SN FOR THE HIGHER
TERRAIN. PRECIP SHOULD BEGIN TO TAPER OFF TO SHOWERS ON TUESDAY.
THE LULL IN THE PRECIP WILL BE SHORT LIVED...AS THE MODELS SHOW
ANOTHER WAVE WITH A MUCH STRONGER UPPER TROUGH APPROACHING THE AREA
FOR WEDNESDAY. AGAIN...THE 12 UTC ECMWF KEEPS THE MAIN SFC LOW WEST
OF THE REGION...WITH THE GFS ALONG THE COAST. THE 12 UTC GGEM IS A
BIT OF A COMPROMISE BETWEEN THE TWO WITH A MAIN LOW GOING WEST...AND
A LOW REFORMING OFF THE NEW ENGLAND SEACOAST. AT THIS POINT...WILL
CONTINUE CHC POPS FOR -RA/-SN ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH WED NIGHT...
BUT THE EXACT P-TYPES AND TEMPS FOR WED/WED NIGHT WILL DEPEND ON THE
SFC LOW TRACK...WHICH IS STILL FAR FROM BEING DETERMINED.
BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF CRANK OUT IMPRESSIVE AMOUNTS OF PRECIP FROM
THESE TWO SYSTEMS...TWO TO THREE INCHES ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA.
THIS ALONG WITH WARMING...AND MELTING THE SNOW THAT COMES THE STORM
THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY...RAISES CONCERNS ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY
OF FLOODING.
OVERALL FOR THE EXTENDED PERIOD...TEMPERATURES LOOK BELOW
NORMAL...AND PRECIPITATION LOOKS ABOVE NORMAL.
&&
.AVIATION /07Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
A TROF OF LOW PRESSURE WAS APPROACHING FROM THE OHIO VALLEY WHILE
ANOTHER CENTER OF LOW PRESSURE WAS FORMING ON THE CAROLINA COAST.
CLOUDS HAVE OVERSPREAD THE REGION DURING THE EVENING HOURS BUT
FLIGHT CONDITIONS WERE STILL VFR SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT. VFR
CONDITIONS SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH MID AFTERNOON TO THE NORTH
BUT CONDITIONS WILL DETERIORATE SOONER TO THE SOUTH. LOW CLOUDS
MOVING UP THE HUDSON VALLEY ARE LIKELY TO RESULT IN MVFR CIGS
AT KPOU AROUND 10Z AND AT KALB AROUND 12Z. THE LIKELIHOOD OF
RAIN...OR SNOW...THIS AFTERNOON IS LOW ENOUGH THAT WE ONLY HAVE
A VICINITY GROUP IN THE TAFS. AS THE STORM THAT DEVELOPS OFF
THE CAROLINA COAST INTENSIFIES AND MOVES CLOSER TO THE REGION
IT WILL RESULT IN CONDITIONS DETERIORATING TO IFR ACROSS THE
ENTIRE AREA AROUND MIDNIGHT TONIGHT...WITH IFR/LIFR VSBY AND
CIGS IN SNOW AND FOG THROUGH THE REST OF THE NIGHT INTO
FRIDAY.
WINDS WILL BE LIGHT AND VARIABLE THROUGH THE PREDAWN PERIOD...
THEN LIGHT MOSTLY FROM AN EASTERLY DIRECTION TODAY AND THIS
EVENING.
OUTLOOK...
FRI...IFR...SN/+SN LIKELY. WINDY.
FRI NIGHT-SAT...VFR/MVFR...SLIGHT CHC -SHSN. WINDY.
SUN-MON...VFR...NO SIG WX.

.FIRE WEATHER...
CLOUDS AND THE CHANCE FOR A LIGHT WINTRY MIXTURE TODAY TO BE
FOLLOWED BY WET FLAG CONDITIONS TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
NO HYDRO PROBLEMS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE WEEKEND...BUT WE MAY
HAVE SOME ISSUES EARLY NEXT WEEK.
IT APPEARS A DEVELOPING EARLY SPRING NOR'EASTER WILL BRING A
SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL TO MUCH OF THE REGION TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY.
IN THE MID HUDSON REGION OF NEW YORK...AND THE LITCHFIELD HILLS OF
CONNECTICUT...THIS STORM WILL LIKELY COME AS A MESSY MIX OF RAIN
AND SNOW...BUT FARTHER NORTH WE ARE LOOKING AT MOSTLY SNOW. THERE
MAY BE SOME MELTING AND RUNOFF INTO THE LOWER HOUSATONIC AND ITS
TRIBUTARIES...ALONG WITH TRIBUTARIES OF THE HUDSON IN SOUTHEASTERN
NEW YORK SUCH AS WAPPINGERS CREEK...RONDOUT CREEK...AND FISHKILL
CREEK. NOT MUCH OF A RESPONSE IS EXPECTED AS IT IS MORE LIKELY
SOME OF THE RAIN WILL SIMPLY SOAK INTO THE SNOW. LIQUID AMOUNTS
FROM THIS STORM WILL RANGE FROM AROUND A HALF AN INCH NORTH TO
ABOUT 1.5 INCHES SOUTH.
FOLLOWING THIS SYSTEM...MAINLY DRY AND BREEZY CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED FOR THE WEEKEND WITH JUST A FEW LIGHT RAIN AND SNOW
SHOWERS ON SATURDAY.
ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO AFFECT THE REGION
STARTING MONDAY. THIS SYSTEM LOOKS TO BE WETTER...WITH TOTAL
PRECIP AMOUNTS BETWEEN TWO AND THREE INCHES...AND WHILE IT WILL
START OUT AS SNOW IT IS EXPECTED TO CHANGE TO RAIN DURING THE
DAY MONDAY. WITH HIGHS IN THE MID 40S ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY...
SNOW LEFT OVER FROM THE STORM TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY WILL LIKELY
MELT...AND THE COMBINED MELT AND RAIN MAY AMOUNT TO ENOUGH TO
CAUSE FLOODING ON SOME STREAMS AND RIVERS.
