AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
705 PM EST SAT FEB 21 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
.A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE ACROSS THE
REGION TONIGHT...BRINGING A WIDESPREAD LIGHT TO MODERATE SNOWFALL TO
THE AREA. SLEET MAY MIX IN WITH THE SNOW...BUT MAINLY IN AREAS
WELL SOUTH AND EAST OF THE CAPITAL REGION. THE SNOW WILL TAPER TO
SCATTERED SNOW OR RAIN SHOWERS ON SUNDAY. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO
THE REGION SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT...AND THEN MOVES
OFFSHORE TUESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES CONTINUE OVER THE ENTIRE REGION THROUGH
10 AM SUNDAY...

AS OF 621 PM EST...SNOW CONTINUES TO FALL ACROSS MOST OF THE
FORECAST AREA WITH SOME BURSTS OF MODERATE SNOW FROM THE MOHAWK
VALLEY AND SOUTHERN VT NORTH AND EAST. A LULL IN THE SNOWFALL HAS
OCCURRED FROM THE CAPITAL DISTRICT SOUTH AND WEST...BUT THE RADAR
SHOULD FILL BACK IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS ACCORDING TO THE NAM/HRRR.
SOME REPORTS OF 3 OR 4 INCHES HAVE COME IN FROM THE SCHOHARIE
VALLEY...W-CNTRL MOHAWK VALLEY...AND THE SARATOGA REGION...AND WE
TRIED TO INCREASE THE AMOUNTS TO 4-8 INCHES IN THESE SPOTS. WE
LOWERED AMOUNTS SOME IN THE IMMEDIATE CAPITAL REGION...MID HUDSON
VALLEY TO 2 TO 5 INCHES. MANY LOCATIONS MAY BE CLOSER TO THE LOWER
END OF THE RANGE DUE TO THE DRY SLOT IN THE MOSAIC AND KENX RADAR
AT THIS TIME.

THE SURFACE FEATURES WITH THIS STORM INCLUDE A LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM IN THE UPPER GREAT LAKES AND A SECOND AREA OF LOW PRESSURE
IN THE TENNESSEE VALLEY WHICH WILL CONVERGE ACROSS THE EASTERN
GREAT LAKES THIS EVENING AND SLIDE UP THE SAINT LAWRENCE RIVER
VALLEY TONIGHT.

THERE IS SOME FRONTOGENETIC FORCING WITH THIS SYSTEM AT H7 WHICH
MAY ENHANCE THE SNOWFALL THIS EVENING. THE BULK OF THE SNOWFALL
SHOULD OCCUR BETWEEN NOW AND 2 AM SUNDAY MORNING. THE SNOW TAPERS
OFF TO SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS BEFORE DAYBREAK. SNOWFALL TOTALS
GENERALLY 2-5 INCHES EXCEPT NORTH AND WEST OF THE CAPITAL REGION
MAY RECEIVE 4 TO 8 INCHES...WITH THE MOST IN HIGHER TERRAIN.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE STEADY OR ONLY FALL A COUPLE OF DEGREES
OVERNIGHT WITH READINGS FROM THE UPPER TEENS TO MID 20S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY/...
ON SUNDAY THERE MAY BE A FEW LINGERING RAIN OR SNOW SHOWERS
OTHERWISE EXPECT AT LEAST PARTIAL CLEARING BY AFTERNOON. HIGHS
WILL BE CLOSER TO NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR WITH READINGS IN
THE UPPER 20S TO UPPER 30S.

IN THE WAKE OF AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT...BITTERLY COLD AIR RETURNS TO
THE REGION SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY WITH DANGEROUS WIND CHILL
VALUES ONCE AGAIN. THIS WILL BE HIGHLIGHTED IN THE HWO. LOWS
SUNDAY NIGHT ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN THE 10 BELOW ZERO TO 10 ABOVE
ZERO RANGE. HIGHS ON MONDAY ARE EXPECTED TO RECOVER LITTLE WITH
READINGS IN THE 5 BELOW TO 15 ABOVE ZERO RANGE. LOWS MONDAY NIGHT
ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN THE 20 BELOW TO 5 BELOW ZERO RANGE WITH
HIGHS ON TUESDAY IN THE TEENS. LATER ON TUESDAY MAINLY DURING THE
AFTERNOON THERE WILL BE A CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS THE
NORTHWEST HALF OF THE FA AS A CLIPPER TYPE SYSTEM TRACKS ACROSS
SOUTHERN CANADA.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS HAS BEEN THE TREND OVER THE PAST MONTH OR SO...BELOW NORMAL
TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE IN THE EXTENDED PORTION OF THE FORECAST
INTO NEXT WEEKEND WITH A MEAN LONGWAVE TROUGH OVER THE NRN TIER OF
THE CONUS INTO THE NORTHEAST.  A SOUTHERN STREAM SYSTEM MAY IMPACT
NY AND NEW ENGLAND NEXT WEEKEND BASED ON THE MEDIUM RANGE
GUIDANCE/ENSEMBLES.

TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY...IN THE NW FLOW ALOFT...A SHORT-WAVE
WILL APPROACH THE REGION.  SOME WARM ADVECTION AHEAD OF THE CLIPPER
TYPE LOW MOVING ACROSS E/SE ONTARIO WILL FOCUS A CHC OF SNOW SHOWERS
OR LIGHT SNOW.  THE SYNOPTIC FORCING DOESN/T LOOK SPECTACULAR...BUT
A FEW INCHES OF LIGHT SNOW WILL BE POSSIBLE.  BY WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON...THE CLIPPER MOVES ACROSS SRN QUEBEC TOWARDS THE GULF OF
ST LAWRENCE.  A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE FCST AREA WITH A CHC OF
SNOW SHOWERS...AND ANOTHER SURGE OF ARCTIC AIR.  LOWS WILL RANGE
FROM 5-10 DEGS OVER THE HILLS AND MTNS...AND UPPER SINGLE NUMBERS TO
MID TEENS IN THE VALLEYS.  HIGHS ON WED PRIOR TO THE FRONTAL PASSAGE
WILL REACH THE M20S TO L30S IN THE VALLEYS AND OVER THE HILLS...AND
UPPERS TEENS TO M20S OVER THE MTNS.

WED NIGHT...ARCTIC AIR INFILTRATES THE FCST AREA ONCE AGAIN WITH 925
HPA TEMPS TUMBLING TO -15C TO -25C OVER THE FCST AREA.  THERE IS A
SLIGHT CHC TO CHC OF SOME LAKE EFFECT AND WESTERLY UPSLOPE SNOW
SHOWERS IN THE WRN DACKS...THE NRN TACONICS...AND SRN GREENS.  LIGHT
SNOW ACCUMS WILL BE POSSIBLE.  LOWS WILL BE VERY COLD AGAIN WITH

WIND CHILLS MAY GET CLOSE TO ADVISORY LEVELS OVER THE SRN DACKS AND
ERN CATSKILLS.

THU INTO SAT...ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE INITIALLY OVER THE NRN PLAINS

VERY COLD WX IS EXPECTED INTO THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEKEND.  THE
SFC ANTICYCLONE MOVES OVER THE MIDWEST AND CNTRL MS RIVER VALLEY
FRIDAY MORNING...THEN SETTLES OVER PA AND NY BY SATURDAY MORNING.
HIGH TEMPS ON THU WILL ONLY BE IN THE SINGLE NUMBERS OVER THE

STREAM/SUBTROPICAL JET MOVES N/NE ON SATURDAY.  SOME CLOUDS WILL
INCREASE DURING THE DAY WITH SOME LIGHT SNOW GETTING CLOSES TO THE
MID HUDSON VALLEY/NW CT LATE IN THE DAY...THOUGH THERE ARE SOME
TIMING DIFFERENCES AND STORM TRACK DISPARITIES WITH THE
GFS...ECMWF...AND ENSEMBLES FOR SAT NIGHT INTO SUNDAY.  MOST OF
SATURDAY SHOULD BE COLD AND DRY...AS THE 2ND HALF OF THE WEEKEND
LOOKS POTENTIALLY UNSETTLED.
