What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this winter weather 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 winter weather advisory went out at Dec 12, 4:33 PM EST, 2 hours 1 minute earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Dec 12, 4:33 PM EST, 2 hours 1 minute before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Albany NY
433 PM EST Tue Dec 12 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure will strengthen as it tracks northward through New
England tonight. Snow will continue across the higher terrain
of the Adirondacks and western New England and across lake
effect areas in the Mohawk Valley. As the low tracks into
northern New England and strengthens further, much colder air
will filter in with windy conditions developing on Wednesday.
Cold and brisk are expected Wednesday into Thursday, with a weak
clipper low bringing a chance of light snow to areas from the
Capital District southward late Wednesday night into Thursday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 7 PM THIS EVENING/...
As of 430 PM EST...Surface cold front continues to push eastward
across the eastern Mohawk Valley and Helderbergs. The front is
still expected to pass through the Capital District around
5-6 PM. The front will continue to track eastward through the
rest of the Hudson Valley eastward to western New England 6-8
PM. This front may bring a brief period of snow showers or
squalls and a flash freeze, which could make for a rough evening
commute in some areas.

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

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 /7 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
Winter Storm Warning issued for southern Herkimer county for
heavy lake effect snow through Wednesday.

Winter Storm Warning continues through tonight for the western
Adirondacks, Glens Falls and Lake George Region, and western
Windham County in southern Vermont.

Wind Advisory issued for the Mohawk and Schoharie Valleys,
eastern Catskills, Greater Capital District, northern and
central Taconics and Berkshires.

The synoptic snow event will transition into more of a
mesoscale event tonight into Wednesday, with upslope and lake
effect snow becoming the dominant features. The parent surface
cyclone is forecast to deepen considerably tonight into
Wednesday over northern Maine, while a broader closed
circulation develops at 700/500 mb over New England. Steering
winds will shift to the northwest as the system tracks northward
through New England tonight, with moisture up to at least 700
mb noted on forecast soundings in the higher terrain north and
east of Albany.

With regards to the warning upgrade for southern Herkimer
county, synoptic snow will quickly transition to lake effect
snow early this evening. Current regional radar imagery already
indicating lake effect snow bands developing upstream over
Oswego and Oneida counties as colder air aloft is quickly moving
in from the west. There is expected to be none or very little
of a break in timing from the synoptic to lake effect snow, so
decided to upgrade to a Winter Storm Warning with the potential
for up to 7 or 8 inches in a few spots in southern Herkimer
county from this evening through Wednesday. A fairly steady
state flow trajectory around 290-300 degrees expected, so narrow
lake effect snow bands will oscillate across the same areas.
Based on the strong flow and fairly deep moisture through the
night, some fragments of bands will move across western Fulton,
Montgomery and Schoharie counties where 2-6 inches are possible
in some spots. The lake effect activity should weaken Wednesday
afternoon as inversion heights lower to around 850 mb.

In addition to the lake effect, upslope snows are expected to
develop across areas north and east of Albany. With a favorable
pattern setup, the 3km NAM and HRW-NMMB are also indicating this
potential. The Froude number forecast from the 4km BTV model is
less than 0.50 through Wednesday morning, indicating blocked
flow which should result in maximum upslope snow over Washington
and Bennington counties, and the northern Taconics, and
northern Berkshires. Will mention additional accumulations of
3-5 inches in these areas with up to 6 across the southern Green
mountains.

West-northwest winds will increase tonight as the system
deepens over New England. Strong winds will develop Wednesday
morning, as the pressure gradient increases substantially and
mixing heights rise to around 850 mb. Winds of around 45-50 kt
are forecast close to the mixing height, so some gusts up to 50
mph will be possible across favorable areas in W-NW flow such as
the Mohawk and Schoharie Valleys, eastern Catskills, Greater
Capital District, northern and central Taconics and Berkshires.
Wind speeds will decrease below advisory levels Wednesday
evening as mixing heights lower.

Other than the snowy and windy conditions, it will feel quite
cold and brisk across the entire region on Wednesday.
Temperatures will be around 10-20 degrees below normal for mid
December, with mainly teens in the higher terrain and lower to
mid 20s in most valley locations for highs. Combined with the
strong winds, wind chill values will be around zero to 10 below
zero in the mountains and single digits in the valleys.

Lake effect and upslope snow should diminish by Wednesday
evening as the cyclone tracks well north into Canada. A weak
clipper low is forecast to quickly move across the lower Great
Lakes and northern mid Atlantic region Wednesday night into
early Thursday. The main surface cyclone will track south of our
region, but some of the ascent along the northern periphery of
the system could bring some light snow to areas from around
Albany southward. Models have been trending northward though, so
will have to continue to monitor. Only a dusting of
accumulation is expected at this time except a few tenths of an
inch for locations well south and east of Albany. It will remain
cold during this time, with single digits/teens for lows
Wednesday night and teens/20s for highs Thursday. The clipper
should quickly exit Thursday morning with dry conditions much of
the day.

Lake effect snow may start to re-develop Thursday night, as
west- northwest winds align with continued sufficient lake
induced instability. Main area of concern could be western
Mohawk Valley and into the western Adirondacks. Will continue to
monitor potential. Outside of lake effect, dry and cold
conditions will persist.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Mean upper troughing over our region through the period with
chaotic broad cyclonic upper flow and little upper impulses
embedded within the flow. There are differences in guidance and
ensembles in the timing and track of these embedded impulses.
Each upper impulse will enhance lake effect snow bands into the
southern Adirondacks and western Mohawk Valley and at times
areas of scattered snow showers will break off and effect
eastern NY and western New England.

Tough to time specific time windows of enhanced snow shower
activity with small quick moving upper impulses but Friday night
into Saturday looks like one time period. Sunday night into
Monday is another potential time period and Monday night into
Tuesday is another.

The broad upper troughing in our region is expected to slowly
flatten as southern stream upper ridging ever so slightly builds
north. So temperatures moderate slowly Friday through Tuesday
so that by Monday and Tuesday, temperatures could be a slight
bit above normal, but still cold enough for mainly snow shower
activity with a mix of rain and snow showers in the Hudson
valley.

Highs Friday in the 20s with around 20 higher terrain. Highs
Saturday around 30 to the mid 30s but lower to mid 20s higher
terrain. Highs Sunday solidly in the 30s but upper 20s higher
terrain. Highs Monday and Tuesday in the upper 30s to around 40
but around 30 to mid 30s higher terrain.

&&

.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.
