Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Albany NY
118 PM EST Tue Dec 12 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure will bring a wintry mix of precipitation to
the area today, with moderate to heavy snow accumulation across the
northern part of the forecast area. As the storm intensifies this
evening, an arctic front will cross the area changing any mixed
precipitation back to all snow. Wednesday will be cold and blustery
with snow showers and biting wind chills, as lake effect snow
develops downwind of the Great Lakes.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
As of 118 PM EST...cold front has passed through Rome and
Binghamton, NY. Still progged to pass through the Capital
District around 5-6PM. This front may bring a brief snow squall
and a flash freeze to the Capital District which could make for
a rough evening commute.

Ahead of the front, strong warm air advection and overrunning
may produce a period of heavy snow this afternoon across the
Taconics, Litchfield Hills, Berkshires and Southern Vermont.
Radar loop shows this heavier precipitation developing now.

There may also be a period of light snow this evening behind
the cold front across the area. Satellite loop shows upper
trough becoming negatively tilted and cooling cloud tops just to
the west of the front.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM WEDNESDAY/...
Strong cold advection is expected this evening as upslope
blocked flow should result in additional snow showers into the
higher terrain tonight. Meanwhile, the surface cyclone tracks
into far northern Maine on Wednesday, it is forecast to deepen
considerably to a possible sub-975 mb low during the afternoon.
With a strengthening pressure gradient and favorable mixing
developing based on cold advection regime, it will become quite windy.
The W-NW flow direction and forecast soundings indicating
mixing heights close to 850 mb appear favorable for at least
advisory level wind gusts. Will continue the mention the
potential for strong winds in the HWO. Upslope snow showers will
continue into Wednesday, then will tend to decrease during the
afternoon as the center of the upper low tracks into northern
Maine. However, lake effect snow will develop downwind of Lake
Ontario as H850 temperatures fall close to -20C. Flow
trajectory forecast to be around 295-300 degrees, which would
favor the western Mohawk valley for at least some light to
perhaps moderate accumulations. It will be quite chilly as the
wind chill temperatures will drop back to the single digits
across most of the region with below zero values into the Dacks.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
We start the period with a upper disturbance quickly diving out
of Canada and swinging through the Mid-Atlantic region
Wednesday night. Surface winds will be brisk overnight, and
combined with fresh snowpack and a cold air mass, temperatures
will fall into the teens but near zero degrees in the
Adirondacks. Some lake effect snow may be possible downwind of
Lake Ontario as winds generally remain out of the west. The
upper disturbance should pass well south of New York early
Thursday morning with potentially a few showers making it into
the southern reaches of the forecast area.

High pressure briefly builds into the region Thursday night into
Friday with continued below normal temperatures, in the upper teens
to mid 20s for highs.

A progressive clipper-type low will progress through the region on
Friday into Saturday with the possibility of phasing with a coastal
low traversing up the Eastern Seaboard. This low may provide a quick
shot of snow over the entire region with very light accumulations.
Brief lake-effect snow may develop over the western Adirondacks
Saturday night into Sunday morning due to westerly low-level flow
taking advantage of the long fetch/moisture of Lake Ontario.

There is the potential for yet another low pressure system to
approach and move through area from the Great Lakes region Sunday
into Monday. There is potential for some light snow accumulations.
However, there is variability among the global model solutions at
this time so kept pops in the slight chance to chance category for
now.

High temperatures should return to normal over the weekend with
highs in the upper 20s to mid 30s. Lows will remain chilly, in the
upper single digits to near 20 degrees.&&

.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Periods of snow will continue through the morning hours across
all TAF sites, with the exception of KPOU where mostly rain is
expected. A dry slot will work its way into the region mid-
morning which should help taper the precipitation and warm
temperatures enough for the snow to become a rain/snow mix. This
may help improve conditions from IFR to MVFR for a period of
time. Conditions may once again drop to IFR this evening as
more snow associated with the cold front moves through the area.

South to southeast winds at 5 to 10 kts will continue through
the day before becoming northwesterly behind the cold frontal
passage. Winds will then become gusty at 20 to 30 mph towards
the end of the TAF period.

Outlook...

Wednesday Night: Low Operational Impact. Breezy NO SIG WX.
Thursday: No Operational Impact. NO SIG WX.
Thursday Night: No Operational Impact. NO SIG WX.
Friday: No Operational Impact. NO SIG WX.
Friday Night:  Slight Chance of SN.
Saturday: Low Operational Impact. Slight Chance of SN.
Saturday Night: No Operational Impact. NO SIG WX.
Sunday: Low Operational Impact. Slight Chance of SN.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
No hydrologic problems are expected during the next week.

Cold weather with periods of snow and snow showers are forecast
much of the time. Some rain will mix with snow from around the
Hudson Valley south and east, but any rainfall amounts will be
light and not have any impacts on river levels.

Ice will form and thicken on area lakes and rivers and some
river gauges may start to show erroneous readings due to ice by
the end of the week.

observed and forecast river stages and lake elevations, please
