AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
618 AM EST SAT JAN 23 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
INTENSIFYING STORM OFF THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC COAST WILL BRING
BLIZZARD CONDITIONS TO THE SOUTH AND EAST OF OUR LOCAL AREA
THROUGH TONIGHT. ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL IS EXPECTED FOR PORTIONS OF
THE MID HUDSON VALLEY AND NORTHWEST CONNECTICUT. THIS STORM WILL
MOVE EAST OF THE REGION TONIGHT AS WEAK HIGH PRESSURE CRESTS OVER
THE REGION FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
...WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR SNOW CONTINUES FOR DUTCHESS AND
LITCHFIELD COUNTIES...

AS OF 600 AM EST...NOT MUCH CHANGE TO THE CURRENT FORECAST PACKAGE.
LEADING EDGE OF THE SNOW CONTINUES TOO ADVANCE NORTHWARD AS THE
INITIAL BAND HAS SHOWN A WEAKENING TREND THE PAST HOUR. HOWEVER...AN
ADDITIONAL BAND WAS MOVING ACROSS LONG ISLAND AND CONTINUES TO
FOLLOW THE SAME PATH AND SPEED OF ITS PREDECESSOR WITH EXPECTATIONS OF
SNOW BEGINNING AROUND SUNRISE FOR THE SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF DUTCHESS
AND LITCHFIELD COUNTIES.  A QUICK REVIEW OF THE HOURLY RAP/HRRR AND
06Z NCEP MODEL SUITE...CONSENSUS FAVORS THE ADVISORIES WITH QPF
VALUES UP TO ONE HALF INCH BY DAYS END.  IF THE BAND WERE TO SET UP
INTO SOUTHERN LITCHFIELD COUNTY...COULD SEE A LOW END WARNING EVENT
AS DAY SHIFT WILL MONITOR ALONG WITH OBSERVATIONS AND SPOTTER
REPORTS.

PREV DISC... SPECIAL BALLOON SOUNDINGS CONTINUE AND HAVE BEEN QUITE
BENEFICIAL WITH THIS FORECAST THUS FAR. OUR 00Z AND 06Z SOUNDINGS
CONTINUE TO SUPPORT A VERY DRY LOWER LEVELS OF THE TROPOSPHERE /FROM
SFC-550MB/ WITH EVER SLIGHT INCREASES IN THE PWATS /0.12 TO 0.15/.
FURTHERMORE...NORTHERLY SURFACE WINDS CONTINUE WHICH TOO IS HAVING
AN IMPACT WITH DEWPOINTS REMAINING BETWEEN 5-10F WITH DEWPOINT
DEPRESSIONS OF 10-15F. LATEST RADAR SCANS SHOW THE LEADING EDGE OF
THE SNOW CONTINUING TO EVAPORATE ACROSS THE MID HUDSON VALLEY WITH
A DECREASE IN REFLECTIVITY'S OVER THE PAST FEW HOURS. A REGIONAL
RADAR MOSAIC/MRMS DATA REVEAL A VERY INTENSE BAND OF SNOW SLOWLY
MIGRATING NORTHWARD ACROSS CENTRAL NJ AND ALONG THE SOUTH-SHORE OF
LONG ISLAND. PER THE LATEST HRRR/RAP13 REFLECTIVITY AND
DEFORMATION AXIS FORECASTS...THIS BAND OF SNOW WILL LIKELY STALL
ACROSS NORTH NJ AND NEAR THE SOUTHERN SHORELINE OF CT LATER THIS
MORNING. QUESTION IS JUST HOW MUCH OF AN IMPACT WILL THE SNOW HAVE
MIGRATING INTO THE MID HUDSON VALLEY AND NORTHWEST CT? PER AN
ENSEMBLE APPROACH OF THE QPF FIELDS FROM THE NCEP MODEL SUITE
ALONG WITH WPC WWD...ACCUMULATING SNOW SHOULD OCCUR WITH THE BEST
POTENTIAL ACROSS LITCHFIELD COUNTY AND NEAR THE I84 CORRIDOR INTO
DUTCHESS COUNTY. AS SUB 990MB SURFACE LOW TRACKS ENE...THE
DEFORMATION AXIS MAY IMPACT THE ADVISORY AREA. BUT IF THE LOW
LEVEL AGEOSTROPHIC FLOW INCREASES...THESE AMOUNTS MAY BE TOO HIGH.
WE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR TRENDS VERY CLOSELY.

OTHERWISE...THE NORTHERN EXTENT OF THE SNOW MAY APPROACH PORTIONS
OF THE CATSKILLS AND SOUTHERN BERKSHIRE WHERE WE WILL CONTINUE
WITH THE SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE POPS FOR THESE AREAS. THE
REMAINDER OF THE REGION IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN DRY UNDER A MAINLY
CLOUDY SKY /FILTERED SUNSHINE ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE DACKS AND
LAKE GEORGE REGION/. HIGHS TODAY WILL GENERALLY FALL INTO THE MID
AND UPPER 20S WITH NEAR 30F FOR SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST
AREA.

THIS NEARLY VERTICALLY STACKED LOW QUICKLY DEPARTS TO THE EAST
QUICKLY ENDING ANY SNOW ACROSS DUTCHESS AND LITCHFIELD COUNTIES
THIS EVENING. THIS IS DUE TO UPSTREAM WAVE NOW ACROSS MONTANA THAT
IS FORECAST TO APPROACH THE GREAT LAKES REGION TONIGHT THAT
ASSISTS WITH THE FASTER DEPARTURE OF THIS COASTAL STORM. INBETWEEN
THESE SYSTEMS...A NARROW SUBSIDENCE INDUCED BUILDING SURFACE
PRESSURES WILL CLEAR SKIES OUT AND TRANQUIL CONDITIONS FOR THE
ENTIRE REGION. TEMPERATURES WILL DROP BACK INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS
TO THE NORTH AND WEST OF ALBANY WITH MAINLY 10-15F FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THE AREA.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
THE AFOREMENTIONED APPROACHING WAVE UPSTREAM IS PROGGED TO TRACK
ACROSS THE REGION ON SUNDAY. MAINLY CLOUDS WILL ACCOMPANY ITS
PASSAGE WITH SOME LAKE ENHANCEMENT FOR THE CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS
INTO THE WESTERN DACKS SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT.
OTHERWISE...HIGHS SHOULD RANGE FROM THE MID 20S TO LOWER 30S INTO
PORTIONS OF THE MID HUDSON VALLEY AND SOUTHERN LITCHFIELD COUNTY.

SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY...IN THE WAKE OF THIS UPPER WAVE...RETURN
FLOW WILL ALLOW FOR A WARM FRONT TO LIFT NORTHWARD THROUGH MONDAY.
THE BEST ISENTROPIC LIFT APPEARS TO REMAIN WEST AND NORTH OF
ALBANY AS IT SHOULD BE A DRY FRONTAL PASSAGE. HOWEVER...THIS
SHOULD ALLOW FOR TEMPERATURES TO CLIMB AT OR ABOVE FREEZING FOR
MOST OF THE AREA WITH FILTERED SUNSHINE.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE DEPARTING OFF THE EASTERN SEABOARD AT THE
START OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD. WITH A SOUTHERLY FLOW IN PLACE...TEMPS
ON MON NIGHT WON/T BE AS COOL AS RECENT NIGHTS...WITH LOWS ONLY IN
THE MID 20S FOR MOST SPOTS.

AS 850 HPA TEMPS RISE ABOVE FREEZING IN MOST AREAS...TEMPS ON
TUESDAY WILL REACH THE MID 30S TO LOW 40S ACROSS THE REGION. AT THE
SAME TIME...LOW PRESSURE WILL BE MOVING ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES
TOWARDS SOUTHERN CANADA...BRINGING A COLD FRONT TOWARDS THE AREA. IN
ADDITION TO THE BEST LIFT MISSING US TO THE NORTH...THIS SYSTEM
WON/T HAVE A LOT OF MOISTURE EITHER.  AS A RESULT...POPS ARE MAINLY
JUST SLIGHT TO LOW CHC FOR MOST AREAS. WITH WARMING IN THE BOUNDARY
LAYER...P-TYPE WILL BE RAIN SHOWERS FOR VALLEY AREAS...ALTHOUGH HIGH
TERRAIN COULD EXPECT TO SEE SOME SNOW SHOWERS OR A RAIN/SNOW MIX.
QPF WILL ONLY BE A FEW HUNDREDTHS FOR MOST LOCATIONS...WITH THE BEST
CHANCE FOR A LITTLE MORE IN UPSLOPE FAVORED AREAS OF THE WESTERN
ADIRONDACKS.

BEHIND THE STORM/S COLD FRONT...SOME COOLER AIR ALOFT WILL WORK INTO
THE REGION FOR TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. THIS MAY HELP TO GET
SOME LAKE EFFECT GOING OFF LAKE ONTARIO...AND SOME LAKE EFFECT SNOW
SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE FOR THE WESTERN ADIRONDACKS. WITH THE
EXPECTED W-NW FLOW...UPSLOPE SNOW SHOWERS CANNOT BE RULED OUT OVER
THE HIGH TERRAIN OF WESTERN NEW ENGLAND. OTHERWISE...IT LOOKS FAIRLY
DRY FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE AREA WITH A PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY
SKY. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL BE IN THE 20S FOR TUESDAY NIGHT...AND HIGHS
ON WED WILL BE MID 20S TO MID 30S.

LAKE EFFECT WILL START TO WIND DOWN FOR WED NIGHT INTO THURSDAY AS
HIGH PRESSURE SLIDES ACROSS THE AREA. IT LOOKS FAIRLY DRY AND
SEASONABLE THROUGH THIS TIME PERIOD. LOWS WILL BE BACK DOWN INTO THE
TEENS FOR WED NIGHT...AND HIGHS WILL BE IN THE MID 20S TO MID 30S
AGAIN FOR THURSDAY.

BY THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY...ANOTHER FAST MOVING NORTHERN STREAM
CLIPPER SYSTEM LOOKS TO MOVE TOWARDS THE AREA.  MOISTURE WILL BE
FAIRLY LIMITED ONCE AGAIN...AND THE TRACK WON/T BE OVERLY FAVORABLE
FOR A LOT OF PRECIP IN OUR AREA. MEANWHILE...A SOUTHERN STREAM LOW
PRESSURE AREA WILL BE TAKING SHAPE OVER THE GULF OF MEXICO/SOUTHEAST
STATES...BUT THIS STORM LOOK TO HEAD NORTHEAST AND OUT TO SEA OFF
THE MID ATLANTIC COAST. THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW PATTERN ISN/T
CONDUCIVEFOR THIS SYSTEM TO MOVE UP THE COAST...SO EXPECT THIS
CURRENT PROJECTION OF MISSING US TO MAKE SENSE. WITH THIS ALL IN
MIND...WILL GO WITH A SLIGHT TO LOW CHC FOR SNOW SHOWERS DUE TO
THE PASSING CLIPPER. MIN TEMPS ON THURSDAY NIGHT LOOK TO BE IN THE
TEENS TO LOW 20S...AND HIGHS ON FRIDAY WILL BE IN THE 30S. ANOTHER
MOISTURE STARVED NORTHERN STREAM CLIPPER COULD MAKE A RUN AT OUR
REGION FOR THE WEEKEND...BUT AT THIS POINT...DETERMINISTIC GUIDANCE
SAYS NO MAJOR STORMS ARE IN FORECAST...AND THE 00Z GEFS SEEMS TO
SUGGEST THIS WILL BE THE CASE AS WELL.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...

VFR CONDITIONS ARE CURRENTLY IN PLACE AT ALL TAF SITES. CLOUDS
ASSOCIATED WITH A POWERFUL COASTAL STORM HAVE OVERSPREAD THE ENTIRE
REGION...WITH OVC CIGS AT 15-20 KFT IN PLACE AT KALB/KPSF/KGFL.
FURTHER SOUTH...CIGS HAVE LOWERED TO NEAR 6 KFT AND SNOW IS FINALLY
APPROACHING THE TERMINAL.

SNOW SHOULD BEGIN AT KPOU WITHIN THE NEXT FEW HOURS. THERE WILL BE A
BRIEF PERIOD OF MVFR VSBYS...BEFORE SNOW LOWERS VSBYS TO IFR BY 9 AM
OR SO. THE STEADIEST/HEAVIEST SNOW LOOKS TO OCCUR IN THE AFTN
HOURS...WITH LOW END IFR VSBYS/CIGS. VSBY LOOKS TO DROP TO 1SM...AND
IT/S POSSIBLE THERE ARE BRIEF PERIODS OF EVEN LOWER VSBY.

FURTHER NORTH...IT WILL REMAIN DRY WITH OVERCAST MID/HIGH LEVEL
CLOUDS IN PLACE. A FEW FLURRIES MAY COME NEAR KPSF IN THE LATE
AFTN/EVENING SO HAVE INCLUDED A VCSH THERE...BUT ANY SNOW IS NOT
EXPECTED TO HAVE AN IMPACT ON CIGS/VSBYS. NO SNOW WILL REACH
KALB/KGFL.

SNOW WILL BE ENDING AT KPOU IN THE LATE EVENING HOURS...WITH ALL
SNOW DONE AROUND MIDNIGHT OR SO.  CIGS WILL CLEAR OUT
OVERNIGHT...WITH SKIES BECOMING CLEAR FOR THE HUDSON VALLEY TAF
SITES BY THE LATE NIGHT HOURS.

N-NE WINDS WILL BE 10-15 KTS TODAY...WITH SOME HIGHER GUSTS TO
AROUND 25 KTS AT KPOU. WINDS WILL DIMINISH THIS EVENING AND BECOME
NW AT 5-10 KTS FOR TONIGHT.

OUTLOOK...

SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT: NO OPERATIONAL IMPACT. NO SIG WX.
TUESDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT: LOW OPERATIONAL IMPACT. SLIGHT CHANCE
OF SHRA...SHSN.
WEDNESDAY: NO OPERATIONAL IMPACT. NO SIG WX.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
THE BEST POTENTIAL FOR ACCUMULATING SNOW WILL BE INTO PORTIONS OF
THE MID HUDSON VALLEY AND NORTHWEST CONNECTICUT TODAY INTO THIS
EVENING WITH THE REMAINDER OF THE HYDRO SERVICE AREA REMAINING
MOSTLY DRY. WATER EQUIVALENT VALUES FROM ONE TENTH TO ONE THIRD OF
AN INCH ARE IN THE FORECAST WHERE SNOW ACCUMULATES.

ANY SNOW THAT IS FALLING SHOULD DISSIPATE THIS EVENING WITH DRY
CONDITIONS FOR MOST OF THE AREA THROUGH AT LEAST MONDAY.
TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THIS WEEKEND SHOULD REMAIN
BELOW FREEZING TO RESULT IN ADDITIONAL ICE FORMATION ON LAKES AND
RIVERS. HOWEVER...TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO CLIMB ABOVE
FREEZING MONDAY AND TUESDAY AFTERNOONS.

THE NEXT CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION IS ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY WITH
A MIXTURE OF RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS. AT THIS TIME...QPF/S LOOK
RATHER LIGHT.
