What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this winter storm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Albany, NY wrote its last area forecast discussion before this winter storm warning went out at Jan 17, 12:40 PM EST, 3 hours 43 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 17, 12:40 PM EST, 3 hours 43 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
1240 PM EST MON JAN 17 2011
.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE CENTERED OVER THE REGION TODAY, THEN MOVE OFF
THE NEW ENGLAND COAST TONIGHT AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM FROM THE WEST
TRANSFERS ENERGY TO A STORM DEVELOPING OFF CAPE HATTERAS. THIS NEW
STORM WILL MOVE NORTHEAST ALONG THE COAST...BRINGING A VARIETY
PRECIPITATION TYPES TO THE REGION.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH NOON/...
AS OF 1000 AM...FORECAST ON TRACK. HAVE ONYL UPDATED THE HOURLY TEMP
GRIDS TO TAKE CURRENT TEMPS RERADINGS INTO ACCOUNT.
***PREVIOUS DISCUSSION***
AS OF 630 AM...A COLD MORNING FOR SURE ACROSS THE REGION. SINGLE
NUMBERS LOCALLY AND STILL DEALING WITH A BIT OF A BREEZE...MAKING IT
FEEL LIKE -8F OUTSIDE! FURTHER NORTH...COLDER TEMPERATURES BELOW
ZERO BUT LESS WIND. AS LOW AS -20 NEAR OLD FORGE AS PER MADIS DATA.
TO THE SOUTH...HIGH CLOUDS HAVE HELD TEMPERATURES UP ACROSS THE MID
HUDSON VALLEY...BUT THEY ARE SLOWLY SHIFTING SOUTHWARD.
FINALLY...THE LAKE EFFECT CLOUDS DOWN THE MOHAWK VALLEY APPEAR TO BE
BREAKING UP.
TEMPERATURES WILL DROP ANOTHER POINT OR TWO BY SUNRISE...THEN SLOWLY
BEGIN THEIR ASCENT THROUGH 10 AM.
UPDATED THE AFM/PFM AND FTP AS WELL AS THE GRIDS. HOWEVER...FEEL
THERE WAS NO NEED TO UPDATE THE ZONES.
**********PREVIOUS NEAR TERM FORECAST*************
AS OF 330 AM...ISSUED A WINTER STORM WATCH STARTING OUT 10Z TUESDAY
THROUGH 12Z WEDNESDAY...FOR MOST OF OUR REGION (EXCEPT THE DACKS AND
MOHAWK VALLEY) FOR THE COMBINATION OF SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF
SNOW...SLEET OR EVEN FREEZING RAIN. MORE DETAILS WILL BE DISCUSSED
LATER IN THE SHORT TERM DISCUSSION.
AS OF 330 AM...11U-3.9U SAT IMAGERY INDICATES LAKE EFFECT CLOUDS
STILL PREVALENT DOWN THE MOHAWK VALLEY AS WELL AS TO THE EAST OF
THE CAPITAL REGION. ALSO...A NW BREEZE HANGING ON IN SOME SECTION.
THE COMBINATION OF THESE TWO FACTORS HAS RESULTED IN A HALT IN THE
DOWNWARD TEMPS DURING THE PAST HOUR OR SO. IT NOW APPEARS THE A LOT
OF LAKE EFFECT CLOUDS MIGHT NOT BREAK UP UNTIL AFTER SUNRISE SO
ADJUSTED TEMPS AND CLOUDS TO REFLECT THIS NEW THINKING. EITHER
WAY...WE ARE STARTING THE DAY OUT WITH VERY COLD
TEMPERATURES...GENERALLY IN THE SINGLE NUMBERS FROM THE CAPITAL
DISTRICT SOUTHWARD...ZERO OR LESS NORTH...ESPECIALLY ACROSS OUR
DACKS WHERE THEY WILL BE AS LOW AS 20 BELOW ZERO!
&&
.SHORT TERM /NOON TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...AS OF 400
AM...AGAIN WE ISSUED A WINTER STORM FOR MUCH OF OUR REGION FROM 10Z
TUESDAY THROUGH 12Z WEDNESDAY.
TODAY WILL BE "QUITE" WITH A MOSTLY SUNNY SKY AS HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS IN. HOWEVER...WITH A LITTLE ADDITIONAL COLD AIR ADVECTION
THIS MORNING...A FRESH SNOW PACK...EXISTING COLD TEMPERATURES...AND
THE WEAK JANUARY SUN ANGLE...TEMPERATURES WILL NOT RISE ALL THAT
MUCH TODAY. DID NOT GO AS COLD AS THE MAV NOS...BUT A LITTLE COLDER
THAN THE MET VALUES...MAINLY TEENS ACROSS THE REGION...AROUND 20 IN
THE MID HUDSON VALLEY/LITCHFIELD COUNTY...BUT ONLY AROUND 10 ACROSS
OUR COLDEST PORTIONS OF THE DACKS AND GREENS. THANKFULLY...THE WIND
SHOULD BE FAIRLY LIGHT MOST OF THE TIME...GENERALLY UNDER 10 MPH.
CLOUDS...AHEAD OF A WEAKENING LOW PRESSURE TO THE WEST...AND A
STRONGER ONE MOVING UP THE COAST...WILL BEGIN OVERSPREADING THE
REGION THIS EVENING...AND THICKEN OVERNIGHT. SNOW WILL LIKELY
BREAK OUT TO THE SOUTH OF THE CAPITAL DISTRICT BEFORE
DAWN...POSSIBLY REACHING NORTH OF THE MOHAWK RIVER BY DAWN.
THE WEAK TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL QUICKLY SPIN VORTICITY ALONG A
DEEPENING A BAROCLINIC ZONE...TO DEEPEN AN EXISTING LOW ALREADY
FOUND DOWN ALONG THE GULF COAST...SPAWNING THUNDERSTORMS TO THE WEST
OF THE FLORIDA COAST AT THIS TIME. THIS SECONDARY LOW WILL BECOME
THE MAIN DRIVER IN OUR WEATHER AS TAPS GULF AND ATLANTIC MOISTURE
AND BRINGS ANOTHER ROUND OF WINTRY WEATHER TO THE REGION TUESDAY
INTO TUESDAY NIGHT.
UNLIKE PAST STORMS...THIS STORM WILL LIKELY BRING A POTPOURRI OF
PRECIPITATION TYPES...ESPECIALLY TO THE SOUTH AND EAST OF ALBANY AS
IT TRACKS ALONG THE EASTERN SEABOARD ON TUESDAY...NEARING CAPE COD
BY LATE TUESDAY NIGHT.
THE 00Z NAM WAS THE COLD MODEL INDICATION MOSTLY IF NOT ALL SNOW
ACROSS OUR REGION. THE 00Z GFS WAS A BIT WARMER AS WAS THE 00Z
ECMWF...INDICATING A MIX OF SLEET AND POSSIBLY EVEN FREEZING RAIN
EVEN NORTH OF THE MOHAWK VALLEY. THE 06Z NAM CAME IN A BIT WARMER
BUT WETTER WITH QPF AMOUNTS NEARLY DOUBLE ITS PREDECESSOR!
WHILE THE TRACK OF THE STORM SEEMS FAIRLY CERTAIN...THE MODELS HAVE
HARD A TIME RESOLVING THE THERMAL BOUNDARY AND QPF NOT ONLY WITH
EACH RUN BUT EACH MEMBER. A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THE THERMAL
PROFILE...COMBINED WITH A VARIATION OF QPF WOULD MAKE A HUGE IMPACT
ON HOW THE WEATHER SCENARIO EVOLVES.
EVEN THE 03Z SREFS INDICATE A WIDE VARIETY OF P-TYPES...INDICATING
THE OPERATIONAL 00Z NAM MIGHT HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE "COLDER" RUNS.
THEY EVEN INCLUDE RAIN IN SOME OF THE MEMBERS TO ALBANY!
DUE TO THE HIGH UNCERTAINTY OF P-TYPES...BUT THE FACT THAT THIS
STORM COULD POTENTIALLY PRODUCE A SIGNIFICANT COMBINATION OF
SNOW/SLEET AND OR ICE ( 50 PERCENT CONFIDENCE)...THE WINTER STORM
WATCH WAS ISSUED.
WE ARE CONFIDENT THAT THE PRECIPITATION WILL START AS SNOW THROUGH
EARLY TUESDAY AS SURFACE TEMPS WILL BE VERY COLD DURING THE ONSET OF
THE PRECIPITATION AT THE SURFACE...AND BELOW FREEZING THROUGHOUT THE
COLUMN EARLY TUESDAY.
LATER ON DURING THE DAY...IS WHEN A WARM NOSE WILL LIKELY PUSH
ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN ZONES...TURNING THE SNOW TO SLEET AND OR
FREEZING RAIN. SURFACE TEMPERATURES MIGHT MUSCLE THEIR WAY BRIEFLY
ABOVE FREEZING FROM POUGHKEEPSIE SOUTH (AND A FEW OTHER POINTS IN
DOWNSLOPING AREAS) BUT RIGHT NOW WE FEEL THAT WOULD BE THE EXCEPTION
AND NOT NECESSARILY THE RULE.
FURTHER NORTH...OUR CURRENT THINKING IS THAT SLEET COULD MIX WITH
THE SNOW AROUND THE CAPITAL DISTRICT AND INTO VERMONT AND MA.
HOWEVER...A SLIGHT SHIFT IN THE SURFACE LOW TRACK AND OR A THERMAL
PROFILES...WOULD EVEN BRING FREEZING RAIN FURTHER NORTH.
THERE IS ALSO SOME UNCERTAINTY AS TO WHEN THE PRECIPITATION COMES TO
AN END. THE NAM RUNS HAVE BEEN FASTER TO MOVE THE STORM TO OUR EAST
BY EARLY WEDNESDAY NIGHT...WHILE THE GFS IS A BIT SLOWER...AND
LEAVES A TRAILING DEFORMATION ZONE ACROSS THE REGION.
FOR NOW...WE SPLIT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO MODELS...AND
LINGER PRECIPITATION CATEGORICALLY AT LEAST INTO THE EARLY PORTION
OF TUESDAY NIGHT...LOWERING POPS TO CHANCES (50) OVERNIGHT. WHILE WE
DECIDED NOT TO SHOW THIS YET...THE CLOUDS MIGHT LOOSE THEIR
ICE...WHICH WOULD MEAN A TRANSITION TO FREEZING DRIZZLE ACROSS THE
REGION TUESDAY NIGHT.
FOR NOW...TOO LOW OF UNCERTAINTY TO GO WITH THAT IDEA JUST YET...BUT
SOMETHING ELSE TO BE CONCERNED WITH IN LATER SHIFTS. AGAIN...ISSUING
THE WINTER STORM WATCH WILL AT LEAST RAISE THE POTENTIAL HAZARD
AWARENESS.
AS FOR TEMPS...FOR TODAY...AS MENTIONED WITH A MET/MAV BLEND...THEN
TONIGHT...WENT A LITTLE COLDER THAN THE MET/MAV BLEND...ASSUMING THE
SKY MIGHT BE AT LEAST PARTIALLY CLEAR AFTER SUNSET (SUPPORTED BY THE
CANADIAN ASTRONOMICAL CLOUD MODEL). THEN...WITH THE CLOUDS
THICKENING OVERNIGHT ALONG WITH WARM AIR ADVECTION
PROCESSES...EXPECT THEM TO HOLD STEADY OR EVEN RISE A LITTLE BY
DAYBREAK...BUT STILL WAY BELOW FREEZING.
FOR TUESDAY...WENT WITH A MET/MAV BLEND. FOR TUESDAY NIGHT...THE MET
NOS LOOK WAY TOO COLD SO LEANED WITH THE MILDER MAV READINGS.
THE STORM LOOKS TO PULL AWAY FOR WEDNESDAY. IN ITS WAKE
HOWEVER...LOTS OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE LOOKS TO LINGER ALONG WITH SOME
UPSLOPE LIGHT NUISANCE SNOW POSSIBLE. LEANED STRONGLY WITH THE
COLDER NAM READINGS WHICH NEVERTHELESS BRING A BRIEF RESPITE FROM
FREEZING TEMPERATURES IN THE VALLEYS (THE HIGH 35-40)...COLDER OVER
THE MOUNTAINS. (THE HIGH 30-35).
BTW...THE 06Z GFS CAME TRENDING A LITTLE LESS IN PRECIPITATION BUT
PERHAPS A TOUCH COLDER...MUCH LIKE THE 00Z NAM WAS! THE UNCERTAINTY
CONTINUES!
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
WE BEGIN THIS LONG TERM PORTION OF THE FORECAST STILL WITH THE
DEPARTING COASTAL STORM AND ITS RESIDUAL IMPACTS. WEAKENING
DEFORMATION AND SOME LAKE ENHANCEMENT COULD LINGER THE SNOW SHOWER
ACTIVITY FOR MAINLY THE TERRAIN AND IMMEDIATELY DOWNWIND OF LAKE
ONTARIO. THEREAFTER...SURFACE RIDGE AND RISING HEIGHTS ALOFT WILL
CREST OVER THE REGION FOR THURSDAY. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR RATHER
TRANQUIL YET CHILLY CONDITIONS AS THOSE 850MB TEMPS AVERAGE BETWEEN
-12/-14C.
THEN BY THE END OF THIS WEEK...RATHER INTERESTING FORECAST WITH THIS
MORNINGS GLOBAL MODELS PRIMARILY SUGGESTING A RATHER PROGRESSIVE
TROUGH AS POWERFUL PACIFIC JET /YET AGAIN/ TRANSVERSES ACROSS THE
CONUS. QUESTION IS WILL THERE BE AMPLE OPPORTUNITY TO PHASE WITH
THE SOUTHERN STREAM...AS SUGGESTED BY THE CANADIAN? A FEW ENSEMBLE
MEMBERS ARE VERY INTERESTING WITH SOLUTIONS EVEN DEEPER THAN THE
CANADIAN WITH AMPLE QPF /HENCE THE HIGH STANDARD DEVIATIONS
OBSERVED/. FOR NOW...WE WILL CARRY AT LEAST A CHANCE FOR LIGHT SNOW
FOR FRIDAY AND CLOSELY MONITOR TRENDS.
THEN HIGH PRESSURE...OF ARCTIC ORIGINS...MOVES SOUTHEASTWARD FOR
THE START OF NEXT WEEKEND. QUICKLY AS THIS HIGH DEPARTS...AN
ALBERTA CLIPPER APPROACHES WITH THE CHANCE FOR LIGHT SNOW FOR THE
SECOND HALF OF THE WEEKEND.
&&
.AVIATION /12Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
VFR CONDITIONS FOR THE BALANCE OF DAYLIGHT HOURS...LOWERING CIGS AND
THE CHANCE FOR SNOW INCREASES FROM SOUTH TO NORTH TONIGHT.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE OVER THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY
EVENING. MAINLY CLEAR SKIES DURING THAT PERIOD AT THE KGFL/KALB/KPOU
TAF SITES WITH LIGHT WINDS. CLOUDS WILL BE INCREASING FROM SOUTH TO
NORTH TONIGHT...BUT CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN VFR FOR MOST OF THE
NIGHT. LIGHT SNOW AND MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS WILL FIRST REACH KPOU
AROUND 09Z TUESDAY...KALB AROUND 11Z...AND KGFL AROUND 13Z. SURFACE
WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE LIGHT.
AT KGFL/KALB EXPECT PCPN TO REMAIN SNOW THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD
ENDING AT 18Z. AT KPOU THE SNOW WILL BEGIN TO MIX WITH PL AND FZRA
AROUND 13Z...AND BECOME ALL FZRA AROUND 15Z.
OUTLOOK...
TUE AFTN-TUE NT...MVFR/IFR WITH SNOW LIKELY...POSS MIX TO SLEET
AND/OR FREEZING RAIN WITH A CHANCE FOR RAIN AT KPOU.
WED...VFR-MVFR...WITH A CHC OF -SHSN.
THU...VFR...NO SIG WX.
THU NT-FRI...VFR/MVFR...CHC -SHSN. INCR WINDS.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
NO HYDRO PROBLEMS THROUGH TONIGHT ALTHOUGH WITH COLD
TEMPERATURES...SOME ADDITIONAL ICE COULD FORM.
THEN...THE NEXT SYSTEM WILL ARRIVE BY TUESDAY FIRST WITH SNOW.
HOWEVER...IT APPEARS THAT THERE WILL A CHANCE TO SLEET FREEZING OR
POSSIBLY EVEN PLAIN RAIN WELL SOUTH OF ALBANY. THE POTENTIAL IS
THERE FOR OVER A QPF. SOME OF THAT COULD FALL AS LIQUID RAIN IN THE
HOUSATONIC BASIN OF EXTREME SOUTHERN MA AND CT.
AT THIS TIME... WE STILL FEEL THAT ENOUGH SNOW ON THE GROUND SHOULD
SOAK UP MOST...IF NOT ALL...OF WHATEVER DOES COME AS RAIN. RIVER
FLOWS SHOULD REMAIN LOW AND AT THIS TIME IT APPEARS THAT ICE BREAKUP
AND OR FLOODING IS UNLIKELY. VERY COLD TEMPERATURES WILL RESUME IN
THE WAKE OF THIS STORM FOR THURSDAY INTO NEXT WEEKEND.
