What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this wind chill advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Binghamton, NY wrote its last area forecast discussion before this wind chill advisory went out at Jan 29, 2:16 PM EST, 4 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 29, 2:16 PM EST, 4 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Binghamton NY 216 PM EST Fri Jan 29 2021 .SYNOPSIS... Cold and windy conditions will continue right into the weekend. Also, lake effect snow showers will persist into Saturday before ending. A coastal low may bring accumulating snow to the region Sunday night into Tuesday, with the best chance in northeast PA and the southern Catskills. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/... 230 pm update... The wind chill advisory expired for the eastern counties at noon. Another one will be issued this afternoon for the same counties for tonight into Saturday morning. Wind chill values about the same as this morning with colder temperatures and less wind. Temperatures will be below zero from Delaware to Oneida County with the valleys of northern Oneida at 10 to 20 below. Skies will be partly cloudy to clear there. Northwest winds fall to 5 to 10 mph this evening but continue at this speed into Saturday. Further west low temperatures tonight will be zero to 10 above. Lake effect snow will continue into Saturday. The best returns continue over Tompkins county but the intensity is down. A 320 low level flow is creating multibands across CNY that extend into NEPA. This flow has a short fetch from Lake Ontario but is down the long axis of the Finger Lakes. There is some moisture also off of Georgian Bay. Tonight into Saturday the low level flow will change little. What will kill it is the lowering inversion and moisture level to below 5k feet. The dendrite zone is still in the lowest 4k feet. The most snow will continue across Seneca, southern Cayuga and Tompkins Counties with amounts of 1 to 4 inches from late afternoon into Saturday afternoon. The air above the boundary layer becomes warmer and drier tonight into Saturday night. Saturday will remain cold, with highs in the teens most locations to low 20s from Elmira to Wilkes-Barre. Late Saturday into Saturday night high pressure builds in bringing drier conditions and at least some sunshine. Saturday night light and variable winds with lows again 10 below to 10 above zero. High clouds start to move in late Saturday night ahead of the next system. && .SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/... A brief window from some clearing looks present Saturday night. However, high clouds look to be on the increase by Sunday morning. This still looks to limit the radiational cooling needed for widespread below zero temperatures across the region given the snow cover. Still single digits and a few below zero readings are likely by Sunday morning, staying a little under blended model guidance. Another low pressure system comes out of the plains to the east coast by the end of the weekend and form a secondary low pressure system along the mid-atlantic coast late Sunday through early Tuesday. Model and ensemble waffling continues to be fairly extensive which is typical in miller B setups. For us it is question on how strong the arctic high is to our north that departs Saturday that may limit the northern extent of the low track and precipitation shield. Another issue is with the development of the secondary low. The amount of resistance from the arctic high pressure system looks more prominent this model cycle. The other issue how the secondary low will develop as models are indicating a band of thunderstorms developing just off the mid-atlantic coastline. Some of the modeling is latching on to this causing the secondary low to form further offshore keeping snow chances down. It should be noted while the 00Z operational ECMWF 1/29 is quite a bit further south it has ensemble support so with this solution incorporated snow chances lowered a notch Sunday night through early Tuesday. There is still plenty of time for this system to trend northwestward especially if the further south tracking modeling is handling the offshore convection poorly when the secondary low forms. Temperatures start to warm some into the 20's and low 30's for highs Sunday and Monday but not enough to where mixed precipitation would be a concern. Overnight lows warm into the 10's and 20's as well. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... The trend has been for gradual clearing with snow ending Tuesday. By Wednesday high pressure will build into the region. Temperatures both days look to be in the 20's and 30's. This high departs on Thursday leading to southerly flow and milder air advecting into the region. SOme light mixed precipitation ahead of the next front may move in as early as Thursday but it is currently mainly dry. && .AVIATION /19Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... 1240 pm update... Finger Lakes enhanced lake effect will continue into Saturday. This is giving ELM/ITH IFR vsbys and MVFR cigs at times this afternoon. Vsbys will improve to mostly VFR tonight into Saturday but MVFR cigs will continue. SYR/BGM just east of the better snow showers so possibly some MVFR this afternoon at times. Tonight cigs fall to MVFR and continue into Saturday. AVP will be on the southern edge of the snow showers and clouds. Some MVFR vsbys possible at times this afternoon then late tonight MVFR are possible. RME will be too far east and will have mostly scattered clouds. Northwest winds at 10 kts with gusts to 20 kts will be possible for all sites through the afternoon. Tonight into Saturday northwest wind of 5 to 10 kts. Outlook... Saturday afternoon...Possibly some lingering MVFR cigs in CNY. Saturday night through Sunday...VFR. Sunday night through Tuesday...Uncertainty on northern extent of snow as storm center passes to the south. Restrictions possible especially KAVP and south central NY. Wednesday...VFR. && .BGM WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... PA...None. NY...None. && SYNOPSIS...TAC NEAR TERM...TAC SHORT TERM...MWG LONG TERM...MWG AVIATION...TAC
