What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this wind advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Albany, NY wrote its last area forecast discussion before this wind advisory went out at Nov 9, 12:35 AM EST, 2 hours 56 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Nov 9, 12:35 AM EST, 2 hours 56 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Albany NY 1235 AM EST Thu Nov 9 2017 .SYNOPSIS... High pressure will be over New York and New England overnight with mainly clear, cold, and dry conditions. A cold front approaching from Canada will bring rain and snow showers Thursday night, with a much colder air mass building in late Thursday night into Friday. Gusty northwest winds will make it feel quite brisk and cold. High pressure will then build back in by Saturday, with well below normal temperatures, but less windy conditions. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/... As of 1206 AM EST...High pressure continues to build in over NY and New England with clear/mostly clear skies and calm winds. Tempertures have already dropped into the 20s across much of the area as of Midnight. An ideal radiational cooling environment is setting up. Our 00Z KALY sounding is very dry with a PWAT of 0.16". A few clouds are possible south and west of the Capital Region towards daybreak, as the sfc anticyclone drifts offshore. Some very minor changes to sky cover and hourly T/TD/RH/Apparent Temp trends based on observations. Lows tonight will be in teens over the southern Adirondacks, Lake George Saratoga Region, and southern VT, and lower to mid 20s from the Capital Region south and east. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY/... Thursday, sunshine to start the day, before clouds increase during the afternoon, as low clouds developing across portions of central/eastern PA and south central NYS begin expanding northward, while high/mid level clouds increase from the west. It is quite possible that skies become mainly cloudy for the afternoon hours across the eastern Catskills/Schoharie Valley, and perhaps areas near and south/east of the Capital District. After the cold start, temps may be slow to rise, especially as clouds increase. Have sided with the cooler MET MOS guidance for highs, with mainly 45-50 expected in valleys, and 40-45 across higher terrain. Some patchy drizzle/light showers could develop later in the afternoon across portions of the eastern Catskills. Thursday night, two cold front will be crossing the region. The initial front should move fairly quickly from NW to SE toward or just after midnight. This boundary will likely be accompanied by a line of rain/snow showers in valleys, and snow showers or squalls across higher terrain, especially areas west of the Hudson Valley. A quick coating to an inch of snow could occur in these higher terrain areas, especially across the western Adirondacks. In addition, with a strong wind field aloft developing, any taller convective elements could draw stronger winds from aloft down to the surface, enhanced by rapid wet bulb cooling processes. Some BUFKIT soundings suggest wind gusts of 40+ KT possible, so there is a possibility that a relatively short fused wind advisory may need to be issued, especially for portions of the Mohawk Valley/Capital Region and Berkshires for Thursday night. The secondary front, which appears to be the actual arctic boundary, looks to move southeastward closer to daybreak. Again, at least scattered snow showers/squalls could accompany this boundary. Overall, it looks like for valley areas, scattered coatings of a few tenths of an inch could occur between the two frontal passages Thursday night through daybreak Friday, with accums of up to an inch across the western Mohawk Valley, and 1-2 inches across the western Adirondacks, and higher terrain of southern VT into the Berkshires. Lows by Friday morning should be in the teens to lower 20s across northern areas, and mid 20s to lower 30s for lower elevations to the south and east. On Friday, still some scattered snow showers possible through noontime, especially across portions of the far western Mohawk Valley/Adirondacks, Schoharie Valley and eastern Catskills, as some multi-banded snowbands may occur before low level inversions drop off later Friday morning into the afternoon. It will remain windy, with gusts of 25-35 mph likely, perhaps slightly stronger within the Mohawk Valley region/Capital Region and Berkshires. Will need to monitor again for possible wind advisories in some areas. Temperatures may rebound in some valley areas Friday morning, into the upper 20s/lower-mid 30s, with temps generally holding in the teens and 20s for most higher terrain. Friday night-Saturday, clear and cold Friday night, with gradually diminishing winds. Lows should fall into the single digits and teens by Saturday morning, although could be even lower if winds drop off earlier Friday night. Mostly sunny for Saturday, remaining cold but with lighter winds, with highs mainly in the 30s for valleys, and 20s to lower 30s across higher terrain areas. && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... The weekend will end with the arctic high retreating east of New England with the air mass gradually modifying some, as the mid and upper level flow becomes zonal. A short-wave trough will be approaching from the Upper MS River Valley and Midwest on Sunday. After a cold start to the morning with lows in the teens to lower 20s, high will rebound into the lower to mid 40S in the valley areas, and mid 30s to around 40F over the mountains. These temps will still be close to 10 degrees below normal in many locations. We are expecting the clouds to thicken and lower with the short-wave trough approaching, and we lowered the PoPs to slight chance mainly west of the Hudson River Valley in the afternoon into the early evening with the slower timing on the latest ECWMF/GFS/GEFS with the 12Z CAN GGEM fastest with over running light rain/snow. Sunday night through Monday...A complex scenario sets up with short- wave energy shifting to the coast near the Delmarva Region towards daybreak Monday on the GFS with a secondary low forming and then the 500 hPa circulation closes off south of Long Island by 00Z/TUE, while the ECMWF is further south with the secondary low near eastern NC 00Z/TUE and the H500 circulation closing off further west near the OH Valley. According to the 12Z ECMWF, very little pcpn would impact the region until late Monday. A superblend of the guidance would favor the northern solution with at least chance PoPs Sunday night into Monday. This scenario will have to be monitored, as the thermal profiles would favor rain/snow in the valleys in the morning changing to rain as the boundary layer warms in the afternoon, with snow transitioning to rain/snow or rain over the higher terrain. Lows would be in the upper 20s to mid 30s with highs in the upper 30s to mid/upper 40s across the region. Monday night into Tuesday...We have continued with the Superblend consensus which favors the faster 12Z GFS solution/WPC guidance lifting the closed H500 circulation away from the Long Island and New England Coast Monday night into Tuesday. Our forecast reflects this set-up with a mixture of rain and snow showers ending by Tuesday morning with a slight chc persisting over the western New England higher terrain. The 12Z ECMWF would favor a much slower scenario lifting the H500 closed/cut-off low away from the Northeast or NY and New England Tuesday into Wednesday with lingering rain and snow showers. Temps will still run slightly below normal with upper 20s to lower/mid 30s for lows, and highs in the mid 40s to lower 50s in the valleys areas, and upper 30s to mid 40s over the higher terrain. Tuesday night into Wednesday...High pressure ridges back in from the lower Great Lakes Region and OH valley with the departing coastal cyclone and closed mid and upper level low off the New England Coast.
