AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
1047 AM EST WED DEC 7 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A STORM SYSTEM WILL FORM ALONG A SLOW MOVING FRONT JUST TO THE SOUTH
OF THE REGION TODAY. IT WILL PASS BY TO OUR SOUTH TONIGHT...BRINGING
RAIN CHANGING TO SNOW TO MOST OF THE REGION... WITH THE GREATEST
AMOUNTS OF RAIN AND SNOW SOUTH AND EAST OF THE ADIRONDACKS.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 1030 AM EST...RAIN CONTINUES TO EXPAND N/NE ACROSS THE
REGION IN RESPONSE TO INCREASING MID LEVEL ISENTROPIC LIFT WELL
AHEAD OF POTENT SHORTWAVE ACROSS THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY.
HAVE INCREASED POPS ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON TO
ACCOUNT FOR SLIGHTLY FASTER DEVELOPMENT OF RAINFALL.

GIVEN THE PROSPECTS FOR MORE RAIN...EXPECT TEMPS TO HOLD NEARLY
STEADY...OR PERHAPS RISE NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF DEGREES IN MOST
AREAS FROM CURRENT LEVELS.

WITH REGARD TO TONIGHT/S STORM...THE FIRST ISSUE WILL BE UPDATING
THE CURRENT SUITE OF WINTER WEATHER STATEMENTS EARLY THIS
AFTERNOON. LATEST 12Z/NAM CONTINUES TO SUGGEST HEAVY
QPF...ALTHOUGH LINGERING A BIT LONGER...PAST 06Z...WHEN THE COLDER
AIR ARRIVES. EXTREME MID LEVEL F-GEN SUGGESTS THAT...WHEN THE
CHANGEOVER TO SNOW OCCURS...IT COULD BE VERY HEAVY...EVEN IF FOR
ONLY A COUPLE OF HOURS. CAN NOT RULE OUT SNOWFALL RATES OF 2-3
INCHES/HOUR...OR EVEN HIGHER...WITHIN THE FIRST HOUR OR TWO AFTER
CHANGEOVER. NOW...SHOULD THE PRECIP LINGER ONLY AN HOUR OR MORE
THAN CURRENTLY EXPECTED...HIGHER TOTAL SNOWFALL AMOUNTS COULD
EASILY BE REACHED...PERHAPS ALMOST DOUBLE WHAT IS CURRENTLY
INDICATED. WILL ASSESS THIS VERY CLOSELY OVER THE NEXT 1-3
HOURS...PENDING OUTPUT FROM THE GFS AND ALSO TRENDS FROM THE
HRRR/RUC 13...AND ENHANCED SHORT TERM WRF. SHOULD HIGHER AMTS SEEM
LIKELY...UPGRADES TO WIDESPREAD ADVISORIES...AND WARNINGS MAY BE
NEEDED.

THE SECOND FACTOR WHICH WILL BE CLOSELY INVESTIGATED WILL BE THE
PROSPECTS FOR HEAVY RAINFALL ACROSS THE MID HUDSON VALLEY REGION
INTO NW CT WITH AROUND OR OVER 2 INCHES RAISES THE POTENTIAL FOR
AT LEAST MINOR FLOODING IN SOME RIVERS/STREAMS. GIVEN DEWPOINTS IN
THE LOWER 60S WITHIN THE WARM SECTOR...AND THE EXTREME 700 MB
CONVERGENCE/F-GEN EXPECTED...CAN NOT DISPUTE THE HEAVY QPF ALL
MODELS SUGGEST. SO...WE WILL LIKELY NEED TO ISSUE A FLOOD WATCH
FOR NW CT AND THE MID HUDSON VALLEY REGION BY EARLY AFTERNOON.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...

AS OF 615 AM...RADAR COVERAGE HAS BEEN INCREASING DURING THE PAST
HOUR OR SO ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST TWO-THIRDS OF THE FORECAST AREA...SO
WILL RAISE POPS TO LIKELY IN THIS AREA AND CONTINUE RAISING POPS TO
CATEGORICAL BY LATE MORNING. HAVE ALSO UPDATED HOURLY TEMP GRIDS TO
ACCOUNT FOR CURRENT CONDITIONS AND TRENDS.

****PREVIOUS DISCUSSION****
AS OF 430 AM...SATELITE AND RADAR IMAGERY SHOW A RAPID EXPANSION OF
COLD CLOUD TOPS AND PCPN ECHOES OVER THE EASTERN U.S...WHICH ARE
ASSOCIATED WITH THE SHARP BUT COMPACT UPPER LEVEL TROF OVER THE
LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. THIS TROF WILL RACE NORTHEAST TODAY AND
TONIGHT...AND INDUCE STRONG CYCLOGENISIS ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY
STALLED TO OUR SOUTH. EXCEPT FOR THE ADIRONDACK ZONES...EXPECT JUST
ABOUT ALL PCPN TODAY TO FALL AS RAIN WITH THERMAL PROFILES REMAINING
FAIRLY CONSTANT AND ABOVE FREEZING DURING THE DAY. HIGHS TODAY WILL
RANGE FROM THE MID 30S NORTH TO THE UPPER 40S SOUTH. SCATTERED
RAINFALL TO START THE DAY...WILL EVENTUALLY BECOME A WIDESPREAD AREA
OF RAIN OVER MOST OF THE REGION EXCEPT FOR THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF
THE FORECAST AREA. CHANCE POPS ARE FORECAST THERE...WITH A NARROW
BAND OF LIKELY POPS FURTHER SOUTH...AND CATEGORICAL POPS FOR THE
SOUTHERN TWO-THIRDS OF THE FORECAST AREA BY LATE IN THE DAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
THE UPPER LEVEL TROF AND DEVELOPING SURFACE LOW WILL COME ROARING
THROUGH THE NORTHEAST TONIGHT. OCCASIONALLY HEAVY PCPN WILL COMMENCE
AROUND OR SHORTLY AFTER SUNSET AS A LARGE AREA OF STRONG UPWARD
VERTICAL MOTION/FRONTOGENETIC FORCING MOVE INTO THE REGION. THE
PRIME TIME FOR THIS WILL BE 00Z TO 06Z TONIGHT WITH UP TO AN INCH OF
LIQUID EQUIVALENT FORECAST BY SOME MODELS DURING THIS 6 HOUR PERIOD.
THIS IS ALSO THE TIME PERIOD WHEN RAIN WILL BE CHANGING TO SNOW AS
THE ATMOSPHERE COOLS DUE TO DYNAMIC COOLING AND AS THE STORM SYSTEM
BEGINS TO INTENSIFFY AND DRAW COLDER AIR SOUTHWARD. DUE TO THE HIGH
RATE OF PCPN...JUST A COUPLE OF HOURS DIFFERENCE IN THE TIMING OF
THE CHANGEOVER CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE IN THE AMOUNT OF SNOW. AT
THIS POINT HAVE OPTED FOR A HIGH END ADVISORY (3 TO 8 INCHES) ACROSS
THE SOUTHWEST AND EASTERN PARTS OF THE FORECAST AREA DUE TO THE
HIGHER TERRAIN. PCPN WILL NOT BE HEAVY ENOUGH OVER THE ADIRONDACKS
FOR SIGNIFICANT SNOW...AND THE CHANGEOVER WILL BE TOO LATE OVER THE
LITCHFIELD HILLS FOR SIGNIFICANT SNOW. HAVE FORECAST 1 TO 4 INCHES
ACROSS THE NON ADVISORY AREAS. LOWS TONIGHT WILL BE IN THE MID 20S
TO LOWER 30S.

FOR THURSDAY...THE FAST MOVING SYSTEM WILL ALREADY BE OUT OF THE
AREA WITH NO ADDITIONAL PCPN FORECAST AFTER SUNRISE THURSDAY EXCEPT
FOR POSSIBLE LAKE EFFECT SNOW OVER THE WESTERN ADIRONDACKS. WINDY
THURSDAY BEHIND THE LOW WITH HIGHS IN THE 30S TO LOWER 40S.

FOR THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...THERE MAY BE SOME BRIEF LAKE
EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE WESTERN ADIRONDACKS
THURSDAY EVENING...HOWEVER INVERSION HEIGHTS WILL BE LOWERING TO 2
KM...SO ACTIVITY SHOULD DIMINISH BY MIDNIGHT. HOWEVER THERE WILL BE
A RENEWED CHANCE FOR SNOW SHOWERS LATE THURSDAY NIGHT INTO
FRIDAY...MAINLY NORTH AND WEST OF THE CAPITAL DISTRICT AHEAD OF AN
UPPER LEVEL TROF AND RE-REINFORCING PUSH OF COLD AIR. THERE WILL BE
LIMITED MOISTURE AVAILABLE...SO ONLY LIGHT QPF FORECAST. THE BEST
CHANCE FOR AN INCH OR TWO OF SNOW WILL BE ACROSS THE WESTERN
ADIRONDACKS. TEMPS WILL BE CLOSE TO NORMAL THURSDAY NIGHT INTO
FRIDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE WEST-NORTHWEST BEHIND THE COLD FRONT PASSAGE
FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY MORNING. TEMPS WILL BE COLD ENOUGH TO
INDUCE LAKE INSTABILITY BUT AGAIN LOW INVERSION HEIGHTS MAY BE A
LIMITING FACTOR FOR SIGNIFICANT LAKE EFFECT TO DEVELOP. EVENT IS
STILL THREE DAYS OUT SO WILL HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO SORT OUT THE
DETAILS. FOR NOW WILL MENTION CHANCE TO LIKELY POPS NORTH AND WEST
OF ALBANY WITH THE HIGHEST VALUES OVER THE WESTERN ADIRONDACKS. THE
UPPER TROF AXIS IS FORECAST TO PASS BY RATHER QUICKLY...SO ANY SNOW
SHOWER ACTIVITY SHOULD DIMINISH SATURDAY AFTERNOON INTO EARLY
EVENING.

A SURFACE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FROM THE OHIO VALLEY
AND CENTRAL APPALACHIANS SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY...PROVIDING DRY
CONDITIONS. TEMPS LOOK TO BE RELATIVELY CLOSE TO NORMAL THROUGH THE
WEEKEND. THE RIDGE IS THEN FORECAST TO TAKE RESIDENCE OVER THE
REGION THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH TRANQUIL WEATHER CONTINUING.
TEMPS LOOK TO BE NEAR NORMAL TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL MONDAY AND
TUESDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /16Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
POOR FLYING CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE PERIOD ENDING 12Z
THURSDAY. A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL REMAIN STALLED JUST SOUTH OF THE
REGION...WITH PLENTY OF MOISTURE AND A STRENGTHENING LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM MOVING ALONG THE FRONT THROUGH TONIGHT. THIS SYSTEM WILL
CAUSE UNSETTLED CONDITIONS TO PERSIST...WITH RAIN EVENTUALLY
CHANGING TO SNOW FROM NORTH TO SOUTH LATE THIS EVENING INTO THE
OVERNIGHT.

GENERALLY EXPECTING IFR/MVFR CONDITIONS THIS MORNING...THEN BECOMING
IFR /MAINLY DUE TO LOW CIGS / BY LATE MORNING OR EARLY AFTERNOON AS
