AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
1244 PM EST MON JAN 18 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
AN ARCTIC AIRMASS IS BEING USHERED IN ON GUSTY WESTERLY WINDS
TODAY. LAKE EFFECT SNOW WILL IMPACT PORTIONS OF THE WESTERN
MOHAWK VALLEY. THE COMBINATION OF THE COLD AIRMASS AND BRISK
WINDS WILL RESULT IN BITTER CONDITIONS TONIGHT. THE BLUSTERY
CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH TUESDAY...ALONG WITH SCATTERED
SNOW SHOWERS AND FLURRIES ACROSS MAINLY HIGHER TERRAIN. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
LAKE EFFECT SNOW WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR SOUTHERN
HERKIMER COUNTY UNTIL 6 PM EST TUESDAY...

LAKE EFFECT BAND HAS SET UP DOWN THE WESTERN MOHAWK VALLEY AND IS
IMPACTING THE NEW YORK STATE THRUWAY INTO EXTREME WESTERN
MONTGOMERY COUNTY. SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENTS HAVE BEEN ISSUED.
THE MESOSCALE MODELS HAVE THE EXPECTED LOCATION OF THE BAND
FARTHER TO THE SOUTH THAN IT ACTUALLY IS AT THIS TIME. THE MODEL
TRENDS ARE FOR THE LAKE EFFECT BAND TO SHIFT SOUTHWARD THIS
EVENING. DEPENDING ON SNOWFALL REPORTS WE RECEIVE...THE LOCATION
OF THE BAND AND INDICATIONS FROM GUIDANCE MAY HAVE TO MAKE
ADJUSTMENTS TO THE LAKE EFFECT WARNING.

BLUSTERY DAY WITH GUSTS UP TO 35 TO EVEN 45 MPH OCCURRING. THE
STRONGEST WINDS ARE OCCURRING DOWN THE MOHAWK VALLEY ACROSS THE
CAPITAL DISTRICT...TACONICS AND BERKSHIRES.

HIGHS TODAY WILL BE MAINLY IN THE TEENS TO MID 20S. HOWEVER THE
BRISK WINDS ARE MAKING IT FEEL LIKE ITS ONLY IN THE SINGLE DIGITS
AND BELOW ZERO.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
TONIGHT...THE LAKE EFFECT SNOWBAND SHOULD BEGIN SETTLING BACK
SOUTHWARD LATER THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT...IN THE WAKE OF THE
AFOREMENTIONED PASSING MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE. HOWEVER...ADDITIONAL
ACCUMS OF 2-4 INCHES WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS SOUTHERN HERKIMER
CO...ESP NEAR WEST WINFIELD. ELSEWHERE...SNOW SHOWERS SHOULD
DECREASE IN AREAL COVERAGE AND ALSO SETTLE SOUTHWARD AFTER THE
INITIAL POSSIBLE INCREASE EARLY THIS EVENING. WINDS SHOULD
DECREASE A BIT OVERNIGHT...AND ALLOW FOR SOME DECOUPLING...ESP IN
VALLEY AREAS...AS SOME BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS ARE EXPECTED TO
DEVELOP. IN COMBINATION WITH VERY COLD AIR ALOFT...HAVE SIDED WITH
THE COLDER GUIDANCE...WITH SINGLE DIGITS AND LOWER TEENS EXPECTED
FOR MOST AREAS. WIND CHILL VALUES COULD APPROACH ADVISORY LEVELS
ACROSS NORTHERN HERKIMER AND HAMILTON LATER TONIGHT...NEAR -20 F.

TUESDAY...THE BIGGEST STORY SHOULD BE STRONG WINDS...AS THE LOW
LEVEL PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS ACROSS THE REGION. ALSO...AS AN
MID/UPPER LEVEL TROUGH PASSES SOUTHEAST IN THE MORNING...WINDS IN
ITS WAKE WILL ALIGN FROM THE NORTHWEST FROM A DEEPER
LAYER...ALLOWING FOR GREATER DOWNWARD MOMENTUM TRANSFER AND GUSTS
FROM LATE MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON. COMBINED WITH CHANNELING
WINDS DOWN THE MOHAWK RIVER VALLEY AND INTO THE BERKSHIRES...WE
COULD EASILY SEE GUSTS REACHING ADVISORY LEVELS...AROUND 50 MPH IN
THESE AREAS. WIND ADVISORIES WILL LIKELY BE ISSUED LATER TODAY OR
TONIGHT FOR THESE AREAS...IF NOT FOR EVEN GREATER AREAL COVERAGE.
LAKE EFFECT SNOW MAY INITIALLY BE SOUTH AND WEST OF THE
REGION...BUT COULD STILL EXPAND INTO EXTREME SOUTHERN HERKIMER CO
IN THE AFTERNOON. ELSEWHERE...SNOW SHOWERS AND FLURRIES WILL
INCREASE IN AREAL COVERAGE BY AFTERNOON...ESP AS MID LEVEL
MOISTURE INCREASES FROM THE NORTH AND ENHANCES ANY LAKE EFFECT
ADDED CLOUDS/SNOW SHOWERS THROUGH SEEDER-FEEDER PROCESSES. UP TO
AN ADDITIONAL 2 INCHES COULD OCCUR ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN
HERKIMER CO...WITH A COATING TO AN INCH POSSIBLE ELSEWHERE. TEMPS
SHOULD REACH THE TEENS AND LOWER 20S IN MOST AREAS.

TUE NT-WED NT...WINDS SHOULD SLOWLY DIMINISH AS MIXING DEPTH AND
THE LOW LEVEL PRESSURE GRADIENT DECREASE. SOME SNOW SHOWERS MAY
STILL OCCUR ACROSS WESTERN AREAS...ESP TUE NT...BUT AS WINDS VEER
MORE INTO THE NW...THEY SHOULD SHIFT MAINLY SOUTHWEST OF THE
REGION. SKIES SHOULD BE PARTLY CLOUDY TUE NIGHT...AND PARTLY TO
MOSTLY SUNNY WED. THEN FOR WED NT...A WEAKENING SHORTWAVE WILL
APPROACH FROM THE WEST...ALLOWING FOR INCREASING CLOUDS. SOME SNOW
SHOWERS OR FLURRIES MAY DEVELOP ACROSS WESTERN AREAS LATE AT NIGHT
WITH LIGHT ACCUMS POSSIBLE. BOTH TUE NT AND WED NT SHOULD REMAIN
COLD WITH TEMPS FALLING INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS AND LOWER TEENS.
WED MAX TEMPS SHOULD REACH THE TEENS TO LOWER 20S ACROSS HIGHER
ELEVATIONS...AND 20S TO NEAR 30 IN LOWER ELEVATIONS.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
IT WILL BE DRY AND CHILLY TO START THE LONG TERM PERIOD AND THEN OUR
ATTENTION TURNS TO A COASTAL SYSTEM WHICH WILL POTENTIALLY IMPACT
PORTIONS OF THE FA OUR THE WEEKEND.

FOR THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT WE EXPECT DRY CONDITIONS AS A LARGE
RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES ACROSS THE FA. IT WILL BE CHILLY WITH
HIGHS ON THURSDAY IN THE MID TEENS TO LOWER 30S AND LOWS THURSDAY
NIGHT IN THE SINGLE DIGITS AND TEENS WITH SOME TEMPERATURES BELOW
ZERO POSSIBLE ACROSS THE WESTERN ADIRONDACKS.

THERE CONTINUES TO BE A GREAT AMOUNT OF UNCERTAINTY REGARDING THE
FORECAST FOR FRIDAY NIGHT INTO THE WEEKEND.  A STORM SYSTEM THAT
WILL BE MOVING FROM THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY TOWARDS THE OHIO VALLEY
ON FRIDAY LOOKS TO REDEVELOP OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST FOR FRI
NIGHT INTO WEEKEND. AS THIS SYSTEM THEN LIFTS NORTHEAST...THE TRACK
OF THIS SYSTEM WILL DETERMINE HOW MUCH PRECIP REACHES INTO OUR AREA.
WITH COLD AIR IN PLACE...ANY PRECIP WOULD BE IN THE FORM OF SNOW. AT
THIS POINT...AREAS SOUTH AND EAST OF THE CAPITAL REGION HAVE THE
HIGHEST CHANCE OF SEEING SOME ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL...AS THE STORMS
TRACKS OFF THE EASTERN SEABOARD. AT ANY RATE WE EXPECT INCREASING
CLOUDS ON FRIDAY WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER TEENS TO AROUND 30.

MODELS ARE STILL HAVING A HARD TIME DETERMINING HOW FAR NORTH ALONG
THE EASTERN SEABOARD THE SNOW WILL SPREAD AS THE LOW PASSES OFF CAPE
HATTERAS AND MAY HEAD OUT TO SEA BEFORE THE SNOW SHIELD MAKES IT
THIS FAR NORTH. THE GGEM AND GFS ARE THE MOST ROBUST WITH THE SNOW
ACROSS OUR FORECAST AREA GIVING MANY AREAS SIGNIFICANT SNOW
WHILE THE ECMWF GIVES THE AREA A GLANCING BLOW. THE PLUME DIAGRAMS
FROM THE GEFS FOR ALBANY GENERALLY HAVE A COUPLE TENTHS OF AN INCH
TO THREE QUARTERS OF AN INCH OF QPF WITH ONE OUTLIER HAVING AN INCH
AND THREE QUARTERS OF QPF. LOWS ON FRIDAY NIGHT ARE EXPECTED TO BE
IN THE SINGLE DIGITS AND TEENS WITH HIGHS ON SATURDAY IN THE 20S.
LOWS SATURDAY NIGHT ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN THE SINGLE DIGITS AND
TEENS WITH HIGHS ON SUNDAY IN THE MID 20S TO MID 30S.

&&

.AVIATION /17Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED AT THE TAF SITES THROUGH THE END
OF THE TAF PERIOD ENDING AT 18Z TUESDAY. THE EXCEPTION WILL BE AT
KPSF FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS WITH OCCASIONAL BLOWING SNOW.
SKIES WILL GENERALLY BE BKN-OVC040-100 WITH SOME BREAKS EXPECTED
LATER TONIGHT AT KGFL AND KPOU SINCE THOSE AREAS WILL BE OUTSIDE
OF THE MAIN LAKE EFFECT MOISTURE. THE MAIN IMPACT AT THE TAF SITES
WILL BE THE STRONG AND GUSTY WINDS WHICH WILL CONTINUE FROM
THROUGH TUESDAY. NORTHWEST WINDS OF 10-16 KTS WITH GUSTS OF 22-32
KTS WILL BE COMMON WITH STRONGER WIND GUSTS LATER AFTER DAYBREAK
TUESDAY MORNING.

OUTLOOK...

TUESDAY NIGHT: LOW OPERATIONAL IMPACT. BREEZY NO SIG WX.
WEDNESDAY: LOW OPERATIONAL IMPACT. BREEZY NO SIG WX.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: NO OPERATIONAL IMPACT. NO SIG WX.
