AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
1230 PM EST THU JAN 24 2013
.SYNOPSIS...
ARCTIC AIR WILL REMAIN LOCKED OVER OUR REGION INTO THE WEEKEND.
FAST MOVING WEATHER SYSTEMS WILL CROSS THE REGION LATE TONIGHT AND
TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEK...BRINGING THE THREAT OF SNOW SHOWERS.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE MUCH BELOW NORMAL...MODERATING MONDAY AND
BEYOND.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 1230 PM EST...MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES CONTINUE ACROSS THE
REGION...WITH JUST SOME PATCHY HIGH AND MID LEVEL CLOUDS PASSING
ACROSS NORTHERN AREAS. TEMPS HAVE RISEN INTO THE LOWER TEENS IN
VALLEY REGIONS FROM ALBANY NORTH...AND GENERALLY INTO THE SINGLE
DIGITS ACROSS HIGHER ELEVATIONS...WITH TEMPS OF 15-20 IN VALLEY
AREAS SOUTH OF ALBANY. LOW LEVEL COLD ADVECTION...ALBEIT
WEAK...WILL CONTINUE FOR THIS AFTERNOON...SO ONLY EXPECT TEMPS TO
RISE ANOTHER 1-3 DEGREES FROM CURRENT LEVELS...YIELDING MAXES OF
10-15 IN VALLEYS FROM ALBANY NORTH...AND UPPER TEENS TO LOWER 20S
TO THE SOUTH...WHILE HIGHER ELEVATIONS GENERALLY ONLY REACH THE
SINGLE DIGITS TO NEAR 10 ABOVE.
WINDS ARE FINALLY BEGINNING TO INCREASE...AND SHOULD CONTINUE TO
DO SO THROUGH LATE AFTERNOON. THEREFORE...CURRENT IND CHILL
ADVISORIES WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT ACROSS HIGHER ELEVATIONS THROUGH
EARLY THIS EVENING.
THE LOW LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE...WHICH ORIGINATES FROM CENTRAL
CANADA...WILL SLIDE SOUTHEASTWARD TONIGHT. THE CENTER OF THE HIGH
WILL PASS OVER THE OHIO VALLEY AND REACH THE SOUTHEAST COAST BY
12Z/FRIDAY. WIND WILL WEAKEN TONIGHT BUT TEMPERATURES WILL BE
BITTERLY COLD ONCE AGAIN WITH BELOW ZERO READINGS EXPECTED ACROSS
THE FORECAST AREA...SO WIND CHILL ADVISORIES WILL LIKELY BE
NEEDED AGAIN FOR TONIGHT IN MANY AREAS. THIS IS MENTIONED IN OUR
HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK.
&&
.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
GOOD DEGREE OF AGREEMENT IN THE MODEL SUITE DURING THIS PERIOD
(GFS/NAM/CMC). FRI MORNING LARGE SFC HIGH ALONG THE THE EASTERN
SEABOARD WILL SLIDE OFFSHORE IN FAST ZONAL 500HPA FLOW...AS NEXT
IN THE SERIES OF SHORT WVS CARVE A NEW 500HPA TROF OVER NE USA.
FRI AFTN AND NT WK CLIPPER TYPE SFC LOW RACES ACROSS THE REGION.
AFTER SOME MORNING SUN...CLOUDS RAPIDLY OVERSPREAD RGN FRI...WITH
CHC OF -SN LATE FRI AFTN AND NT. MODEL QPF STILL REMAINS AROUND
0.10 LIQ EQUIV OR LESS. SO EVEN WITH 15-20 SWE 1-2 INCHES OF SNOW
TOPS.
AS THIS 500HPA TROF MOVES WELL OFFSHORE CYCLOGENESIS ENSUES OUT
OVER THE GULF STREAM...WELL OFFSHORE AND EAST OF FCA.
IN THE WAKE OF THE CLIPPER A SECONDARY ARCTIC CDFNT DROPS S
THROUGH THE RGN SAT MORNING. CAA IN COMBINATION WITH ADDITIONAL
500HPA SHORT WV PASSAGES...BRISK FLOW AND TRRN KEEP CLDS AND
-SHSN SCT OVER RGN...PARTICULARLY HIR TRRN. WITH MAINLY N-NE SFC
FLOW LAKE RESPONSE WILL BE MINIMAL OR WEST OF FCA. SAT NT LARGE SFC
HIGH SETTLES OVER EASTERN HALF OF THE NATION AS RIDGING BEGINS IN
MISS VLY AT 500HPA. SUN MORNING LOWS UNDER CLEAR CALM SKIES IN
ARCTIC HIGH SHOULD AGAIN PLUNGE TO DEEP FREEZE LEVELS FM -20F
NORTH TO NEAR ZERO SOUTH. IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING TEMPS FRI THROUGH
SUN WILL REMAIN WELL BLO NORMAL.
SUNDAY NIGHT SFC HIGH AXIS SHIFTS TO THE COAST AS 500HPA FLOW
TURNS WSW. BY DAYBREAK WMFNT HAS PUSHED INTO EASTERN OHIO
VLY...AND CLOUDS AHEAD OF IT ARRIVE OVER W PTNS OF FCA.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THE EFP WILL FEATURE A MILD PERIOD WITH QUICKLY MODERATING TEMPS.
AT 500HPA RIDGING IS OCCURRING OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE
NATION. SFC HIGH HAS MOVED OFFSHORE AND A RETURN FLOW HAS BCM EST
OVR THE EAST.
FIRST WMFNT PUSHES INTO RGN MONDAY.
WAA/ISENTROPIC LIFT -SN DEVELOPS ACROSS THE RGN MON AFTN AND NT. GFS
KEEPS LIQ EQUIV QPF UNDER 0.10...THE ECMWF PRODUCES AMOUNTS ON
ORDER OF 0.25.
2ND WMFNT SURGES N ON TUES AND TUES NT WITH ANOTHER SURGE OF
QPF...BUT BY THIS POINT TEMPS WILL BE WARM ENOUGH FOR MOST TO
FALL AS RAIN.
THE EFP ENDS WITH A SHARP 500HPA RIDGE ALONG THE E SEABOARD...AND
A DIGGING TROF MOVING INTO THE GRTLKS. FCA IS FULLY INVOLVED IN
WARM SECTOR WED WITH WEAK CDFNT PASSAGE LATE WED. MUCH STRONGER
CDFNT AWAITS JUST BYND EFP.
ECMWF/GEM/GFS/HPC FAIRLY SIMILAR WITH THIS SCENARIO. A PERIOD OF
OUTRIGHT MILDER WX WITH CHC -SN MONDAY AND CHC -SHRA TUE/WED. HIGH
TEMPS WILL REACH MID 20S TO MID 30S MONDAY...AND 40S REST OF EFP.
WITH SOME 30S N AND LOW 50S SOUTH.

INCR POPS IF NEEDED MON/TUE.
&&
.AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THRU 18Z FRIDAY.
A WEAKENING UPPER LOW WAS TRACKING OFF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST EARLY
THIS AFTERNOON. RESIDUAL HIGH AND MID LEVEL CLOUDS WILL MOVE ACROSS
THE SKY FOR THE BALANCE OF THE DAYLIGHT HOURS. HOWEVER...WITH THE
DEPARTURE OF THIS FEATURE...THE SURFACE GRADIENT IS EXPECTED TO
INCREASE. THIS WILL RESULT WITH AN INCREASE IN WINDS AT THE SURFACE

WINNIPEG TRACKS ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES AND INTO NEW ENGLAND FRIDAY
AFTERNOON.
OUTLOOK...
FRI AFTN...MAINLY VFR. INCREASING CHANCES FOR LIGHT SNOW.
FRI NT...MVFR/VFR. CHC SNOW. KPOU...SNOW LIKELY AND IFR POSSIBLE.
SAT-SUN...VFR. NO SIG WX.
MON...MAINLY VFR TRENDING TO MVFR. CHC -SN.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
ANY PRECIPITATION THAT FALLS OVER THE NEXT FIVE DAYS IS EXPECTED TO
BE IN THE FORM OF SNOW AS AN ARCTIC AIR REMAINS IN CONTROL. TEMPERATURES
WILL AVERAGE WELL BELOW NORMAL THROUGH THE WEEKEND. PERSISTENT
COLD WILL CAUSE ICE TO FORM ON MOST BODIES OF WATER. THERE IS THE
POSSIBILITY FOR FREEZE UP ICE JAMS TO OCCUR ON SMALL STREAMS IN
NORTHERN AREAS. THIS COULD RESULT IN SOME MINOR LOCALIZED
FLOODING. TEMPERATURES WILL MODERATE IN THE NEW WEEK.
