AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Albany NY
222 AM EDT Sat May 9 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
A low pressure system will pass south of the Long Island
and move northeast to the Gulf of Maine by tomorrow morning bringing
some snow to the region.  Light snow accumulations are expected for
most areas, especially on the grassy surfaces. Blustery and
unseasonably colder weather is expected for Mothers Day weekend,
with some additional passing rain and snow showers especially on
Saturday. Temperatures will remain below normal heading into next
week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...
As of 153 AM EDT...Surface low is located close to Cape Cod and
continues to rapidly move northeast. With colder air working in
both aloft and at the surface, precip has changed over to snow
across the entire region, although the back edge of precip is
also rapidly shifting eastward. Steady snow is now limited to
areas east of the Hudson River and will continue to slide
eastward over the next few hours. Behind the steady precip, a
few lingering snow showers will be possible through the rest of
the overnight hours, but most areas will be done seeing the
accumulating snowfall. Totals amounts still look to range from
just a coating in valley areas up to 3 inches across the highest
terrain.

Temps will continue to fall into the mid 20s to mid 30s. The
winds will increase from the northwest at 10 to 20 mph with some
gusts 30 to 35 mph towards daybreak.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THIS MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
Saturday morning, surface low in the Gulf of Maine continues to
intensify as upper trough becomes negatively tilted. Wind field
and magnitudes are of concern as mixing heights and wind
magnitudes within the layer will allow for occasional gusts into
the 30-40kt range. High values may result in wind headlines for
portions of the region. Furthermore, this too will allow for
the vortex, accompanied by around -40C H500 air to slide
southward during the daylight hours. Impressive lapse rates,
moist cyclonic flow, lake effect-enhancement from Lake Ontario
with increasing delta t/s, will result in convective elements of
rain/snow showers with perhaps some graupal. In fact, we may
see a new record monthly low H500 temperature on Saturday (quick
look at climatology shows values at or just below -30C for the
month of May). So PoPs will the highest into the terrain. High
temperatures, if we want to call it that, will be close to new
records for lowest maximum temperatures for the date as H850
temperatures will be near -10C.

Loss of daytime heating and passage of the cold pool will result
in the diminishing trend in precip coverage and wind magnitudes.
A variable sky coverage will be sure to allow for a very chilly
night and freeze warnings where the growing season has started
will likely be issued. Lows into the 20s and lower 30s (at or
below 32F) for valley locations.

Another PV anomaly currently in the vicinity of Alberta, is
forecast per the NCEP model suite and international guidance to
track across the upper Mississippi Valley, Ohio Valley and into
the eastern Great Lakes later Sunday into Sunday. So clouds will
be in the increase yet again and increasing probabilities for
rain/snow across the region, especially Sunday night. Thermal
profiles appear to be milder with areas along and south of I90
expected to be above freezing per H850. So highs Sunday moderate
back into the 40s and 50s with overnight lows mainly into the
30s and some lower 40s for the Capital Region and points
southward including Litchfield County CT.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
The extended forecast will feature below normal temperatures into
the middle of the week with a mean longwave trough in place over the
Northeast.  However, a trend for moderating temperatures to more
seasonal levels is expected late in the week, as a warm front
approaches bringing some showers.

Monday into Monday Night...A short-wave trough approaches from the
lower Great Lakes Region and PA Monday morning.  This disturbance is
forecast a bit further north compared to yesterday on the latest 12Z
GFS/ECMWF and several of the Ensembles.  The cyclonic vorticity
advection associated with the short-wave and some weak warm
advection will produce some showers.  The greatest threat will be
from the Mohawk Valley, Capital Region, and southern VT southward
where we have chance and low likely PoPs.  Further north, we have
slight chance values. This short-wave will help amplify the H500
long-wave trough with heights to 2 to 3 STDEVs below normal over
Midwest into the Northeast.  H850 temps will be -2 to -3 STDEVs
below normal. The showers with the weak sfc wave lifting northeast
towards the Gulf of Maine Mon night should end, and their could
briefly be a few snow showers over the high peaks of the eastern
Catskills. Max temps on Monday will be in the upper 40s to mid 50s
in the valleys with a few upper 50s over mid Hudson valley.  Lows
will fall back in the mid 20s to around 30F over the mtns, and lower
to mid 30s in the valleys and over the hills.  Some frost/freeze
issues are likely Monday night into Tuesday morning, as the growing
season will have begun across most of the region.  There should  be
a decent pressure gradient with west to northwest winds to 10 to 20
mph most of the night in the wake of the system.

Tuesday...Low pressure continues to move northeast into the Canadian
Maritimes with high pressure building in from the Midwest and TN
Valley.   H850 temps based on the 12Z GEFS will again run -2 to -3
STDEVs below normal with highs around 15 degrees below normal.  It
will continue to be brisk with a few lake effect showers maybe
impacting locations west of the Hudson River Valley in the
afternoon.  High temps will be in the upper 40s to mid 50s in the
valleys and upper 30s to mid 40s over the mtns with a mixture of
clouds and sunshine.

Tuesday night into Thursday...Mainly dry weather is expected Tuesday
night into most of Thursday, as high pressure builds in from the OH
Valley into the Mid Atlantic States.  The subsidence from the high
should provide increasing sunshine and lighter winds.  Lows Tue
night will be similar to Monday night, and additional frost/freeze
headlines will be possible.  Max temps in the 40s and 50s on WED
will trend warmer on THU with lower 50s to lower 60s over most of
the region, as low to mid level warm advection increases with the
sfc high building in from the south.  A few showers may creep closer
to locations west of the Hudson Valley late THU pm.

Thursday Night into Friday...A more unsettled pattern begins as a
warm front moves toward the region with periods of showers.  The
flow becomes more zonal aloft, as a wave of low pressure may pass
north of the St. Lawrence Valley on Friday.  Temps trend towards
seasonal levels, as PoPs were increased to high chance and likely
values THU night into FRI.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
The low over southeastern MA will continue to deepen as it
heads north-northeastward reaching the Canadian Maritimes by
Saturday evening. In the meantime, the associated upper level
over eastern Canada will move eastward as short waves rotates
about it. The precipitation did changeover to all snow across
the area Friday evening even at KPOU. The steady snow will taper
off overnight with lingering MVFR-IFR conditions with an
improvement to VFR expected. Mainly VFR conditions are then
expected through the TAF period, however MVFR conditions are
expected with any rain and snow showers Saturday afternoon but
confidence is not high enough to include in TAFs at this time.

West-northwest winds will increase overnight as the pressure
gradient tightens. Winds become even stronger Saturday
afternoon with good mixing with gusts up to 35 knots expected.
Winds will decrease Saturday evening but should remain gusty at
KALB and KPSF.

Outlook...

Saturday Night: Moderate Operational Impact. Breezy. Scattered
SHRA...SHSN.
Sunday: Moderate Operational Impact. Windy Isolated SHRA.
Sunday Night: Moderate Operational Impact. Scattered SHRA.
Monday: Moderate Operational Impact. Chance of SHRA.
Monday Night: Low Operational Impact. NO SIG WX.
Tuesday: Low Operational Impact. Breezy. NO SIG WX.
Tuesday Night: No Operational Impact. NO SIG WX.
Wednesday: Low Operational Impact. Breezy. NO SIG WX.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Low Relative Humidity Values Between 25 and 35 percent and Wind
Gusts 35 to 45 mph Possible Tomorrow....

Rain and snow will overspread the region late this afternoon into
this evening resulting in over a quarter inch of precipitation from
the Capital Region into the mid-Hudson Valley, NW CT, the Berkshires
and eastern Catskills with under a quarter inch for areas north and
west of Albany.

Chilly air will be in place tomorrow with high temperatures only
reaching into the 30s and 40s for all areas. Relative humidity
values drop by tomorrow afternoon, ranging 25 to 35 percent. In
addition, northwesterly winds strengthen late tonight and stay
strong throughout the day tomorrow. Sustained winds strengthen to 15
to 25mph with gusts up to 35 to 45 mph. The strongest winds will
likely occur across west to east oriented valley areas including the
Mohawk Valley down into the Capital Region and into the Berkshires.
Scattered rain and snow shower will also occurr tomorrow during the
day.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Rivers are expected to stay steady this weekend before gradually
dropping early next week.

Precipitation from a disturbance passing over the mid-Atlantic will
spread precipitation over the region from south to north starting
late this afternoon and continue into this evening. Areas from the
eastern Catskills, mid-Hudson Valley, the Berkshires, NW CT and the
Capital Region should receive between 0.25 and 0.50 inch with lower
amounts between a 0.10 and 0.25 inch falling over areas north and
west of the Capital Region. Initial precipitation should fall as
rain or rain/snow mix but should transition to snow this evening.

Additional scattered rain and snow showers are expected tomorrow
with most areas receiving about a tenth or less of precipitation
(highest amounts falling over the western facing slopes of the
Berkshires, southern Greens, and Taconics).

and forecast river stages and lake elevations, please visit the
