Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Albany NY
1247 AM EST Sun Feb 26 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
Much colder air continues to filter into the region with some light
accumulating snowfall especially over the higher terrain overnight,
as blustery and cold conditions finish the weekend with temperatures
more typical of late February. High pressure briefly builds in from
the south tonight into Monday with moderating temperatures back to
above normal readings by 5 to 10 degrees.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
A Flood Watch remains in effect for the western Mohawk Valley,
the upper Hudson, the southern Adirondacks, Lake George Saratoga
region and southern Vermont from today through Sunday. See
the Hydrology section for details...

As of 1246 AM EST...A secondary cold front and mid-level short-
wave are approaching from southeast Canada and the eastern
Great Lakes Region. On the KENX and Regional Mosaic radars some
diffuse lake effect snow showers continue to impact mainly the
western Adirondacks, and the western Mohawk valley. A few other
rain and snow showers are moving across the Capital District and
southern VT. We are not expecting any substantial accums for
the activity near the Capital Region. Additional snowfall of a
few tenths of an inch to two inches is possible for the western
Adirondacks, and the w-central Mohawk Valley.

Strong cold advection continues with lows still expected in the
20s with some lower to mid 30s in the mid-Hudson Valley, Capital
District and NW CT. The winds will be from the west to northwest
at 10 to 20 mph with some gusts in the 30-35 mph range over the
Berkshires. As that secondary cold front moves through the lake
connection will be disrupted, but we will see the winds increase
a bit shortly after sunrise.

Ongoing flooding in parts of the western and central Mohawk
Valley, and the southern Adirondacks so flood watch continues.

Thanks to everyone for all the severe weather, flood, snow and
thundersnow reports. They are always helpful and very much
appreciated!!!

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Deep cold advection Sunday with lake effect snow showers
extending into the western Mohawk Valley, southern Adirondacks
and Schoharie Valley. Northwest winds will be quite gusty but
indications are that wind gusts most likely below advisory
criteria but this will be reevaluated tonight with new guidance
and trends in data. Highs Sunday in the near 40 to mid 40s but
lower 30s northern areas.

Flat upper ridging builds into our region Monday and boundary
layer temperatures are expected to warm. A small piece of upper
energy tracks just south of our region but very little moisture
to work with. Boundary layer flow turns to southwest and
downslope, also suggesting any light precipitation should have
some low level dry air to overcome, again limiting chances for
precipitation. Intervals of clouds and sun along with
downsloping, occasionally gusty winds should help temperatures
reach the lower 50s. Some 40s expected in northern areas and mid
50s southern areas.

Another upper impulse with stronger warm advection affects our
region Tuesday with at least scattered showers. More clouds and
better coverage of showers will prevent surface temperatures
from warming as much as they could with the boundary layer
temperatures warming as much as is expected. Highs Tuesday in
the 40s to lower 50s.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
An active weather pattern with large temperature fluctuations is
expected through the long term period, with temperatures trending to
below to potentially well below normal by next weekend.

For Tuesday night-Wednesday night, a frontal zone with multiple
waves of low pressure is expected to approach from the Great Lakes
region. An initial surge of warm advection should bring some
precipitation to the region Tuesday night, and could start as snow
or a wintry mix across at least northern areas, if not slightly
further south, before changing to plain rain by Wednesday morning.

A stronger low is expected to develop along this front and track
into the Great Lakes region later Wednesday into Wednesday night.
Expect additional periods of rain and drizzle during this time.
Depending on the ultimate strength and track of this low, there
could even be some embedded convection with the system's cold front
sometime Wed night.

The low should strengthen and track into southeast Canada Thursday.
Again, depending on its ultimate strength, strong winds may buffet
the region Thursday, perhaps well reaching advisory levels for some
areas.

Another weaker system is expected to track south of the region
Friday, possibly bringing some light snow or snow showers to at
least southern areas.

Temperatures will be above normal through at least Wednesday night,
with highs in the 40s and 50s, and lows mainly in the upper 30s to
mid 40s, although some lower 30s are possible Tuesday evening across
northern areas before rising through the night.

For Thursday-Friday, more seasonable temperatures are expected, with
highs mainly in the 30s and 40s Thursday, and 20s to mid 30s Friday.
Temps may actually fall through the day on Thursday.

By next Saturday, even colder air is expected to spread into the
region. Expect highs in the teens and 20s, except possibly for some
lower 30s across the mid Hudson Valley, with overnight lows mainly
in the single digits and teens. Brisk winds could lead to wind
chills dropping into the -10 to -20 range across the southern
Adirondacks.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
The strong storm system that brought heavy rain, wind, thunder and
snow last evening has exited the region. In its wake, MVFR/VFR CIGS
are present, with some light and scattered rain/snow showers due to
a passing upper level shortwave. Expect MVFR to VFR CIGS through
early this morning with gradual improvement to VFR by dawn. The
remainder of the forecast period will remain VFR.

West to northwest winds will be generally 10 kts or less through
12Z, then become gusty up to 30 kts this afternoon, especially at
KALB/KPSF. KPSF may remain gusty this morning through 00Z/Mon. Winds
are then expected to slacken after sunset.

Outlook...

Monday Night: Low Operational Impact. Slight Chance of SHSN.
Tuesday: Moderate Operational Impact. Chance of SHRA...SHSN.
Tuesday Night: Moderate Operational Impact. Chance of RA.
Wednesday: High Operational Impact. Likely SHRA.
Wednesday Night: Moderate Operational Impact. Chance of SHRA.
Thursday: Moderate Operational Impact. Windy With Gusts To 31.0
Chance of SHRA...SHSN.
Thursday Night: Low Operational Impact. Breezy NO SIG WX.
Friday: Low Operational Impact. Slight Chance of SHSN.

.HYDROLOGY...
Flood Watch in effect for the western Mohawk Valley, the upper
Hudson, the southern Adirondacks, Lake George Saratoga region and
southern Vermont from today through Sunday. Runoff will result
from a combination of snow melt over the past couple days and
heavy rainfall this afternoon into this evening.

At this time minor flooding occurring in parts of the western
Mohawk Valley. Additional flooding of some main stem rivers is
expected, including the upper Mohawk, smaller rivers/streams in
areas with significant snow depth in the southern Adirondacks
and southern Green Mountains of Vermont, and possibly even
portions of the upper Hudson basin.

A quick moving, strong cold front is expected to bring a period
of moderate to heavy rainfall through this evening. Total
rainfall forecast of around a half an inch to around 1.25 inches
is forecast through tonight, with the lowest amounts in the
Mid Hudson Valley and Northwest Connecticut, and the highest
amounts over the western/southern Adirondacks. The time frame
for greatest potential for flooding is during and after the cold
front passage due to heavy rain/snow melt combination and
subsequent runoff. The precipitation will change to snow quickly
behind the front especially over the mountains, which will slow
down the run-off tonight.

Drier and colder air will filter in behind the cold front for
Sunday, with some lake effect snow possible across the western
Adirondacks and western Mohawk Valley. Strong west to northwest
winds of 15 to 25 mph with strong gusts will also slow down the
runoff later in the weekend.

For details on specific area rivers and lakes, including
observed and forecast river stages and lake elevations, please

on our website.
