AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
1248 PM EST FRI JAN 23 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL DRIFT EASTWARD OFF THE MID ATLANTIC
COAST TODAY...BUT WILL CONTINUE TO INFLUENCE OUR WEATHER WITH
TRANQUIL CONDITIONS. THEN...A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM ALONG THE GULF
COAST STATES IS EXPECTED TO RAPIDLY STRENGTHEN AS IT TRACKS
NORTHEASTWARD OFF THE NORTH CAROLINA COAST TONIGHT...TO SOUTH
OF LONG ISLAND AND SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND ON SATURDAY. THIS STORM IS
EXPECTED TO BRING A LIGHT TO PERHAPS MODERATE SNOWFALL FROM MAINLY
THE CAPITAL DISTRICT SOUTH AND EAST. ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM IS
EXPECTED TO PASS MAINLY SOUTH OF THE REGION EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
AS OF 1230 PM EST...MAIN CHANGES WERE IN THE SHORT TERM PORTION OF
THE FORECAST FOR TONIGHT/SATURDAY REGARDING THE UPCOMING STORM.
MAIN CHANGES WERE TO ADD EASTERN ULSTER COUNTY TO THE WINTER
WEATHER ADVISORY AND INCREASE SNOW TOTALS BY ABOUT AN INCH FROM
THE CAPITAL DISTRICT SOUTH AND EAST. THE 12Z GFS/NAM AND THE 00Z
ECMWF ALL SHOWING A STORM TRACK SLIGHTLY MORE NORTH AND
WEST...RESULTING IN AN INCREASE IN SNOW AMOUNTS FOR THE SOUTHEAST
HALF OF THE AREA. WILL MONITOR MODEL TRENDS THIS AFTERNOON FOR
POSSIBLE ADDITIONAL CHANGES AS NEEDED.

SOME WEAK LOW LEVEL WARM ADVECTION HAS COMBINED WITH A LITTLE LAKE
MOISTURE RESULTING IN A BAND OF CLOUDS ALONG WITH SOME LIGHT SNOW
AND FLURRIES ACROSS THE WESTERN ADIRONDACKS INTO THE LAKE GEORGE
SARATOGA REGION. THE SNOW/FLURRIES WILL DISSIPATE DURING THE AFTERNOON.
AS RIDGING BUILDS OVER THE REGION AND LOW LEVEL WINDS BECOME MORE
SOUTHWEST TO SOUTH THIS AFTERNOON...SKIES SHOULD TREND TOWARD
PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY BY MID TO LATE AFTERNOON...EXCEPT FOR SOME
LINGERING CLOUDS ACROSS THE WESTERN ADIRONDACKS.

TEMPS SHOULD REACH THE LOWER/MID 30S IN VALLEY AREAS FROM ALBANY
SOUTH AND EAST...AND UPPER 20S TO LOWER 30S TO THE N AND W...WHILE
MOST HIGHER ELEVATIONS ONLY REACH THE 20S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY/...
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM MIDNIGHT TO 5 PM EST
SATURDAY FOR EASTERN ULSTER...DUTCHESS...LITCHFIELD AND SOUTHERN
BERKSHIRE COUNTIES...

LOW PRESSURE ALONG THE GULF COAST REGION WILL STRENGTHEN AND MOVE
NORTHEAST...REACHING THE MID ATLANTIC COAST BY SATURDAY
MORNING...AND THEN PASSING EAST OF CAPE COD BY LATE SAT AFTERNOON
AS IT RAPIDLY DEEPENS.

CLOUDS WILL INCREASE OVERNIGHT FROM S TO N. MIN TEMPS SHOULD BE
REACHED EARLY...WITH TEENS AND LOWER 20S...THEN SHOULD RISE AFTER
MIDNIGHT AS THE CLOUDS THICKEN.

THIS WILL BE A FAST MOVING STORM SYSTEM...WITH THE BEST OVERALL
MOISTURE AND DYNAMICS MAINLY ACROSS CENTRAL AND EASTERN NEW
ENGLAND. HOWEVER...ENOUGH MOISTURE AND A BRIEF PERIOD OF MID LEVEL
FRONTOGENETIC FORCING SHOULD ALLOW SNOW TO DEVELOP ACROSS
SOUTHERN AREAS SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT...AND POSSIBLY REACHING AS
FAR N AND W AS THE CAPITAL REGION/INTERSTATE 90 CORRIDOR BY
DAYBREAK. SNOWFALL ACCUMS BY DAYBREAK SAT SHOULD BE AROUND AN INCH
OR TWO CLOSE TO INTERSTATE 84 IN DUTCHESS CO AND ALSO ACROSS
LITCHFIELD CO...AND GENERALLY UNDER AN INCH ACROSS THE
BERKSHIRES...SCHOHARIE VALLEY...AND POSSIBLY AS FAR N AS I-90.

THE STEADIEST PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED FOR SATURDAY
MORNING...WITH MODERATE TO PERHAPS BRIEFLY HEAVY INTENSITY FOR THE
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY AREA. P-TYPE SHOULD INITIALLY BE SNOW SAT
AM...BUT AS MILDER AIR ALOFT MOVES NORTHWARD...FORECAST SOUNDINGS
SUPPORT THE POSSIBILITY OF FREEZING RAIN OCCURRING AT TIMES...ESP
ACROSS LITCHFIELD AND SE DUTCHESS COS. PRECIP SHOULD EVENTUALLY
CHANGE BACK TO ALL SNOW BY MIDDAY SATURDAY INTO THE
AFTERNOON...BEFORE TAPERING OFF FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST IN
THE LATE AFTERNOON HOURS.

AT THIS TIME...IT APPEARS THAT THE GREATEST TOTAL SNOWFALL AMTS
WILL BE IN THE 4-7 INCH RANGE IN A STRIPE FROM SE DUTCHESS
CO...ACROSS MUCH OF CENTRAL AND EASTERN LITCHFIELD CO...AND INTO
SE BERKSHIRE CO. THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT SLIGHTLY GREATER AMTS
COULD OCCUR SHOULD EMBEDDED BANDING DEVELOP...WITH THIS POTENTIAL
BEING GREATEST ACROSS EASTERN LITCHFIELD CO.

FURTHER N AND W...A BAND OF 2-4 INCHES IS EXPECTED ACROSS THE
EXTREME SE CATSKILLS...THROUGHOUT THE NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE MID
HUDSON VALLEY...AND INTO MUCH OF THE NORTHERN/WESTERN
BERKSHIRES...AND EXTREME SE VT. AMTS WILL BE LESS TO THE N AND
W...WITH POSSIBLY UP TO AN INCH OR TWO INTO PORTIONS OF THE CAPITAL
REGION...NORTHERN SCHOHARIE VALLEY AND EASTERN MOHAWK
VALLEY...WITH POSSIBLY A DUSTING AS FAR N AS THE GLENS FALLS REGION.

MEANWHILE...SNOW SHOWERS ASSOCIATED WITH THE APPROACH OF A
NORTHERN STREAM DISTURBANCE COULD BRING SNOW SHOWERS AND MINOR
ACCUMS TO PORTIONS OF THE WESTERN ADIRONDACKS LATE IN THE DAY SAT.

MAX TEMPS SHOULD REACH THE LOWER/MID 30S IN VALLEYS...AND 20S FOR
MOST HIGHER ELEVATIONS SAT AFTN.

FOR SAT NT-SUN...A COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE NORTHERN STREAM
SYSTEM SHOULD PROGRESS SOUTHWARD LATE AT NIGHT OR EARLY SUN
MORNING. THIS FRONT WILL BE PRECEDED AND ACCOMPANIED BY SOME SNOW
SHOWERS...WITH THE GREATEST AND MOST FREQUENT THREAT FOR SNOW
SHOWERS EXPECTED ACROSS THE WESTERN ADIRONDACKS. MINOR ACCUMS OF
AN INCH OR TWO COULD OCCUR IN THIS AREA...WITH PERHAPS A DUSTING
TO LESS THAN AN INCH FURTHER S AND E INTO THE MOHAWK
VALLEY/CAPITAL REGION AND UPPER HUDSON VALLEY...AS WELL AS ACROSS
UPSLOPE AREAS OF SW VT/NW MA. THEN...SOME CLEARING IS EXPECTED FOR
SUNDAY...ALONG WITH COLDER TEMPS. SAT NT/SUN AM MINS SHOULD BE
REACHED AT OR AFTER DAYBREAK SUNDAY...WITH WIDESPREAD TEENS AND
LOWER 20S...EXCEPT FOR SOME SINGLE DIGITS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
ADIRONDACKS. SUN MAX TEMPS SHOULD RANGE FROM THE LOWER TEENS
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN ADIRONDACKS...TO THE 20S IN MOST VALLEY
AREAS...EXCEPT FOR SOME LOWER 30S ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE MID
HUDSON VALLEY. TEMPS MAY ACTUALLY FALL IN SOME AREAS AFTER A LATE
MORNING MAX.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
IT WILL BE A QUIET START TO THE WEEK WITH ACTIVE WEATHER TOWARDS THE
END OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD.

THE WEEK WILL START OUT ON SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT WITH A
CLIPPER TYPE SYSTEM WHICH WILL RACE ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC REGION
AND THEN HEAD OUT TO SEA OFF THE DELMARVA PENINSULA. THIS SYSTEM
WILL BE FAR ENOUGH SOUTH AND EAST AS INDICATED BY THE GFS...ECMWF
AND GGEM SUCH THAT THE BULK OF THE FA WILL REMAIN DRY WITH STRONG
CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE TO OUR NORTH OVER SOUTHERN CANADA. AT THIS
TIME HAVE KEPT MUCH OF FA DRY WITH JUST SLIGHT CHANCE TO LOW CHANCE
POPS FOR LIGHT SNOW ACROSS FAR SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FA. EXPECT
LOWS ON SUNDAY NIGHT TO RANGE FROM 5 TO 10 BELOW ZERO NORTHWEST TO
THE UPPER TEENS SOUTHEAST. HIGHS ON MONDAY ARE EXPECTED TO RANGE
FROM THE UPPER TEENS NORTHWEST TO THE MID 20S SOUTHEAST. LOWS MONDAY
NIGHT ARE EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM AROUND 10 BELOW ZERO NORTHWEST TO
5 ABOVE ZERO SOUTHEAST.

FOR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY EXPECT FAIR AND DRY CONDITIONS AS A
SPRAWLING RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE STRETCHING FROM SOUTHERN CANADA
THROUGH THE EASTERN AND CENTRAL GREAT LAKES ON TUESDAY BUILDS EAST
ACROSS OUR REGION FOR TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. IT WILL BE COLD
THROUGH THE MID WEEK PERIOD. HIGHS ON TUESDAY WILL RANGE FROM THE
UPPER SINGLE DIGITS NORTHWEST TO THE UPPER TEENS SOUTHEAST. LOWS
TUESDAY NIGHT WILL RANGE FROM AROUND 10 BELOW ZERO NORTHWEST TO THE
LOWER SINGLE DIGITS SOUTHEAST. HIGHS ON WEDNESDAY WILL RANGE FROM
THE MID TEENS NORTHWEST TO THE LOWER 20S SOUTHEAST.

FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY A CLIPPER TYPE SYSTEM WILL BE
SWEEPING EAST FROM THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND
PASS THROUGH OUR REGION LATE THURSDAY AND THURSDAY EVENING. THIS
SYSTEM LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BRING SOME LIGHT SNOW TO THE REGION ON
THURSDAY. SINCE THIS IS FAR OUT IN THE EXTENDED PERIOD AND MUCH CAN
CHANGE WITH THE TIMING OF THE SYSTEM AND ITS TRACK HAVE ONLY
INCLUDED SLIGHT CHANCE TO LOW CHANCE POPS FOR NOW. EXPECT LOWS
WEDNESDAY NIGHT TO BE MAINLY IN THE SINGLE DIGITS WITH HIGHS ON
THURSDAY MAINLY IN THE 20S WITH SOME UPPER TEENS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
ADIRONDACKS.

OVERALL EXPECT TEMPS AND PRECIPITATION TO AVERAGE BELOW NORMAL FOR
THE PERIOD FROM SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES WITH TRANQUIL WEATHER CONDITIONS AT THE
BEGINNING OF THE TAF PERIOD WILL BECOME QUITE ACTIVE FOR SOME AREAS
AS WE GO TOWARD THE END OF THE TAF PERIOD. HIGH CLOUDS WILL MOVE IN
AHEAD OF OUR NEXT WEATHER SYSTEM AT ALL TAF SITES AFTER 00Z
SATURDAY. A COASTAL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL BE MOVING NORTHEAST
NEAR THE SOUTH SHORE OF LONG ISLAND AND SOME AREAS OF LIGHT AND
MODERATE SNOW WILL DEVELOP....ESPECIALLY AT KPOU/KPSF.
PRECIPITATION SHOULD START AROUND 08Z SATURDAY AT KPOU/KPSF WITH -SN
CONDITIONS AROUND KALB AROUND 12Z SATURDAY. VCSH CONDITIONS WILL
REMAIN AT KGFL GIVEN THEIR PROXIMITY TO THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM.
SNOW MAY MIX IN WITH ICE PELLETS AT TIMES AT KPOU BUT PRECIPITATION
WILL BE PERSISTENT AT KPOU AND KPSF THROUGH THE END OF THE TAF
PERIOD. IFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED AT KALB/KPOU/KPSF WITH VFR/MVFR
CONDITIONS AT KGFL AS WE GO PAST 12Z SATURDAY.

WINDS WILL BE LIGHT OUT OF THE SOUTH AT ALL TAF SITES WITH A WIND
SHIFT TO THE NORTHEAST AROUND 5 KNOTS FOR KPOU/KPSF DUE TO THEIR
PROXIMITY TO THE COASTAL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM.

OUTLOOK...

SATURDAY NIGHT: LOW OPERATIONAL IMPACT. SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHSN.
SUNDAY: LOW OPERATIONAL IMPACT. BREEZY. NO SIG WX.
SUNDAY NIGHT-WEDNESDAY: NO OPERATIONAL IMPACT. NO SIG WX.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
NO SIGNIFICANT HYDRO PROBLEMS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE NEXT FIVE
DAYS.

A DEVELOPING NOR'EASTER COULD BRING A LIGHT TO MODERATE TO SNOWFALL
FOR AREAS SOUTH AND EAST OF ALBANY ON SATURDAY.

ICE WILL CONTINUE TO THICKEN ON RIVERS...STREAMS...CREEKS...LAKES
AND OTHER BODIES OF WATER OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS.

THE EAGLE BRIDGE GAGE ON THE HOOSIC RIVER CONTINUES TO BE HAMPERED
