What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this winter storm watch 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 winter storm watch went out at Jan 30, 12:42 PM EST, 2 hours 52 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jan 30, 12:42 PM EST, 2 hours 52 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Binghamton NY
1242 PM EST Sat Jan 30 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure will build into the region for the weekend with
continued very cold temperatures. A low pressure system tracks
from the Ohio Valley and redevelops along the east coast Monday
tracking northeastward on Tuesday. This system has the potential
to bring a couple rounds of snowfall to our region through
Tuesday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
10 AM Update...
Though still a cold Arctic day, wind chills are now warmer than
15 degrees below zero and thus the lingering Wind Chill
Advisory was dropped ahead of its scheduled 11 AM expiration.

Things in the near term are going as planned; however, just
giving a heads up that a noteworthy uptick in snow potential has
become apparent in many models for the Sunday night through
Tuesday system. Expect adjustments to be made today in the
forecast for that time period once all incoming models are
assessed; mostly to capture probabilities of secondary coastal
low to hang tighter to the shore and thus capable of pivoting
higher snowfall rates further inland especially Monday night-
Tuesday.

Previous discussion...
A few lake effect snow bands, further enhanced by the Finger
Lakes, continue to affect parts of the region, mainly Tompkins,
Tioga, Broome, and Cortland Counties. Snowfall rates are fairly
light even in the strongest bands, and any snowfall through mid-
morning will be a dusting to maybe a half inch. With some drier
air aloft moving in today, these bands will slowly diminish in
intensity by midday. Surface winds will also back more to the
WNW, which may bring some enhanced snow showers into parts of
Onondaga County later today, but again, with minimal
accumulation.

Otherwise, cold temperatures will continue today, though highs will
be a few degrees warmer compared to Friday. With clouds expected to
break up later this afternoon, especially east of the Finger Lakes,
mostly clear skies and light winds tonight will favor stronger
radiational cooling, and colder temps. Lows in northern Oneida
County could drop below -10, with below-zero temps common east of
Interstate 81, especially in colder valleys and hollows in the
more hilly terrain.

An approaching storm system will bring increasing clouds from
southwest to northeast on Sunday, with a slight chance of snow
reaching NE PA before evening.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
10 AM Update...
As already noted above, expect upward adjustments to be made
today in the snow forecast for this time period once all
incoming models are assessed; mostly to capture probabilities of
secondary coastal low to hang tighter to the shore and thus
capable of pivoting higher snowfall rates further inland
especially Monday night-Tuesday.

Previous discussion...
Another low pressure system comes out of the plains to the east
coast by Sunday night and forms 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 main issue still present in the modeling is 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. However, there has been a rather
large NW shift with the modeling and ensembles on this 00Z cycle
1/30. This is likely because most of the modeling is no longer
developing the secondary low with the thunderstorms and is instead
tucking it in closer to the coast.

This looks like two shots for snow in our region. The first being a
period of light snow moving east associated with a dying low
pressure system in the Ohio Valley. This wave of snow will be more
vulnerable to the arctic high but still has the potential to produce
a few inches of snow before it winds down Monday morning. A sharp
cutoff will be present for who gets snow. Currently the Southern
Tier of NY and NE PA stand the best chance to see this shot of snow.
Temperatures generally from around 20 into the low 30's so no mixing
concerns.

With a reorganization of the storm Monday a notable lull is
quite possible during the day with the low pressure system off
the NJ coast. However, several snow bands will be moving
northwest well inland then pivot eastward as the low departs.
Where these setup will be where additional snow accumulates. For
now our highest confidence for that is across NE PA into the
Western Catskills.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Wrap around snow showers, possibly enhanced with a northerly
flow off of Lake Ontario and the Finger Lakes may linger all the
way through Wednesday with temperatures back down in the 10's
and 20's. High pressure builds in by Wednesday night.

High pressure moves over the area Thursday with winds becoming more
southerly starting a warming trend which lasts into Friday. A cold
frontal system starts to enter the region Friday. With temperatures
warming well into the 30's and possibly 40's a rain/snow mix
continues to be forecasted. Freezing rain would be a possibility if
the mid levels warm faster than the surface and these temperatures
are dependent on that occurs earlier in the week.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Bands of lake clouds southeast of Ontario remain stretched
across much of central NY, leading to MVFR and even fuel
alternate ceiling restrictions across most terminals apart from
KELM and KAVP this afternoon. Some flurries and light snow may
cause a slight drop in visibility at times. As winds gradually
shift more to the north and flow turns lighter this evening,
lake clouds should gradually break up with a return to VFR at
all terminals likely between 23Z and 02Z. High clouds will move
into the area tonight ahead of our next system.

Outlook...

Sunday...Mainly VFR, with gradually lowering ceilings from
south to north.

Sunday night through Tuesday...Another storm system will bring
in chances for snow beginning Sunday night with restrictions
possible, especially at KAVP, KELM, and KBGM, but more
uncertainty farther north.

Wednesday...Restrictions possible in lake effect cloud cover and
snow showers given N to NW flow.

Thursday...Mainly VFR.

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for central New York and
northeast Pennsylvania.

.DAY ONE...Today and tonight.

Hazardous weather is not expected at this time.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday.

There is a potential for heavy snow as a coastal low pressure
develops. Expectations are for a few to several inches of lighter
snow to move across Northeast Pennsylvania and perhaps bordering
counties of New York Sunday night into Monday. Then, as the coastal
low strengthens, there is a chance for more snow to pivot into the
area late Monday and especially Monday night into Tuesday. This
second batch of snow could contain higher snowfall rates, yet there
is also considerable uncertainty for how far inland it will reach.

Monitor forecasts closely for updates, as this system could
significantly impact travel if the higher potential scenario is
realized.

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for central New York.

.DAY ONE...Today and tonight.

Hazardous weather is not expected at this time.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday.

There is a potential for accumulating snow as a coastal low pressure
system develops early in the week. As the coastal low strengthens,
there is a chance for accumulating snow to pivot into the area late
Monday and especially Monday night into Tuesday. This batch of snow
could contain high snowfall rates, yet there is also considerable
uncertainty for how far inland it will reach.

Monitor forecasts closely for updates, as this system could
significantly impact travel if the higher potential scenario is
realized.
