AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
330 AM EST FRI FEB 17 2006
.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL RAPIDLY MOVE NORTHEASTWARD JUST
WEST OF THE SAINT LAWRENCE RIVER VALLEY THIS MORNING INTO THE EARLY
AFTERNOON...PUSHING A POWERFUL ARCTIC COLD FRONT THROUGH NEW YORK
AND WESTERN NEW ENGLAND. A PERIOD OF RAIN THIS MORNING WILL BE
FOLLOWED BY HIGH WINDS AND FALLING TEMPERATURES DURING THE
AFTERNOON. DAMAGING WIND GUSTS WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER THE ENTIRE AREA
THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY AND INTO THE EARLY EVENING. A FRIGID AIR
MASS WILL PARK ITSELF ACROSS THE REGION TONIGHT THROUGH THE
WEEKEND...WITH LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS MAINLY NORTH AND WEST OF
ALBANY.
&&
.SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
VERY ACTIVE AND WILD WEATHER WILL OCCUR TODAY...WITH HIGH WINDS AND
PLUMMETING TEMPS THE MAIN STORIES. FIRST OFF...COOLER AIR ASSOC WITH
BACK DOOR FRONT THAT PUSHED THRU NORTHERN AREAS DURING THE EVENING
IS RETREATING AS A SFC LOW JUST WEST OF LAKE ONTARIO INTENSIFIES AND
MOVES NE. TEMPS HAVE HELD STEADY OR EVEN RISEN INTO THE UPPER 40S TO
MID 50S IN MOST AREAS. A BRIEF DRY PERIOD EARLY THIS MORNING WILL
OCCUR...BEFORE A SOLID AREA OF RAIN MOVES THRU FROM WEST TO EAST
JUST AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT BETWEEN 7 AM AND NOON. ONE QUARTER TO
ONE HALF INCH OF RAIN IS EXPECTED. WILL NOT INCLUDE MENTION OF
THUNDER AT THIS TIME...AS CG LIGHTNING HAS GREATLY DIMINISHED WITHIN
PRECIP SHIELD IN WESTERN NY. NOT MUCH PRECIP IMMEDIATELY BEHIND THE
FRONT...EXCEPT FOR SOME SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS THE ADIRONDACKS/MOHAWK
VALLEY. WHILE MOST OF THE AREA WILL NOT SEE ANY ACCUMULATING
SNOW...WINTER CHILL WILL CERTAINLY BE IN THE AIR DURING THE
AFTERNOON WITH TEMPS DROPPING LIKE A ROCK FROM EARLY HIGHS IN THE
40S AND 50S DOWN INTO THE 20S AND LOWER 30S IN MOST SPOTS BY LATE IN
THE DAY.
NOW FOR THE WINDS. UNTIL THE COLD FRONT BLASTS THRU THIS MORNING THE
STRONGEST WINDS WILL BE CONFINED TO ELEVATIONS MAINLY ABOVE 2000 FT
WITH WARM ADVECTION REGIME AND AN INVERSION IN PLACE. THE MAIN
THRUST OF THE STRONG AND DAMAGING WINDS ACROSS THE LOWER ELEVATIONS
WILL BE POST COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE. THERE ARE SEVERAL FACTORS THAT
POINT TO A SEVERAL HOUR PERIOD OF DAMAGING WIND GUSTS. FIRST...H85
WINDS OF 60-70 KTS WILL BE MOVING ACROSS THE AREA. STRONG COLD
ADVECTION WITH PRESSURE RISES OF 12-16MB/3 HRS ALONG WITH RAPID
DRYING IN THE 700-300 MB LEVEL ALL POINT TO GOOD POTENTIAL FOR
MIXING DOWN THE STRONG WINDS. THEREFORE...WILL KEEP HIGH WIND
WARNING FOR ALL AREAS. WINDS WILL DECREASE DURING THE EVENING...BUT
CONDITIONS WILL STILL BE BREEZY AS TEMPS CONTINUE TO DROP.
A SECONDARY ARCTIC FRONT WILL PUSH SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE AREA LATE
FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY...BRINGING SOME SNOW SHOWERS AND A
REINFORCING SHOT OF COLDER TEMPS IN ITS WAKE. ALSO...NW WINDS WILL
BECOME QUITE GUSTY AGAIN WITH 30-40 MPH POSSIBLE. WE WILL THEN HAVE
TO START WORRYING ABOUT WIND CHILL ADVISORIES. EARLY SAT
MORNING...ONLY AREAS FOR CONCERN WILL BE ACROSS THE WESTERN
ADIRONDACKS...BUT AREAS FURTHER SOUTH AND EAST WILL BE FLIRTING WITH
ADVISORY LEVEL WIND CHILL VALUES BY SUNDAY MORNING. LOW TEMPS WILL
EASILY DROP BELOW ZERO ACROSS THE ADIRONDACKS...AS WELL AS ANY OTHER
AREAS WITH SNOW ON THE GROUND. EVEN IN AREAS WITH BARE
GROUND...SINGLE DIGITS WILL BE A CINCH. SOME LAKE EFFECT CLOUDS AND
A BREEZE WILL PREVENT THE BOTTOM FROM TOTALLY DROPPING OUT.
WITH REGARDS TO PRECIP...THE BEST CHANCE OF SNOW WILL BE ACROSS THE
ADIRONDACKS...MOHAWK VALLEY AND EASTERN CATSKILLS WITH LAKE EFFECT
ACTIVITY. A FEW SNOW SHOWERS WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE FURTHER EAST
ASSOC WITH THE ARCTIC FRONT. AT LEAST THRU SATURDAY IT APPEARS ANY
LAKE EFFECT SNOW WILL NOT BE PERSISTENT FOR TOO LONG IN ANY ONE AREA
DUE TO THE ARCTIC BOUNDARY PASSAGE...SO ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE RATHER
LIGHT. ON SUNDAY...THE BLAYER FLOW WILL BE BETTER ALIGNED FROM
AROUND 270 DEGREES WHICH WOULD FAVOR NORTHERN HERKIMER AND HAMILTON
FOR ENHANCED LAKE EFFECT ACTIVITY. ELSEWHERE...DRY CONDS BUT COLD
TEMPS WILL PERSIST THRU THE REST OF THE WEEKEND.
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
NO CHANGES MADE TO THE FORECAST BEYOND SUNDAY. A MAINLY ZONAL FLOW
ALOFT WILL PERSIST THRU MUCH OF NEXT WEEK...WITH SLOWLY MODERATING
TEMPS IN OUR AREA. A FEW CLIPPER-TYPE SYSTEMS WILL PASS THRU IN THE
W-NW FLOW ALOFT...WITH A PERIODIC CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS. AS OF NOW
IT APPEARS NO BIG STORMS ARE ON THE HORIZON...WITH ANY SOUTHERN
STREAM DISTURBANCES NOT EXPECTED TO PHASE AND DRIFT OFF THE
SOUTHEAST OR MID ATLANTIC COASTLINES. ONLY IF THE UPPER LEVEL
PATTERN BECOMES MORE AMPLIFIED WILL WE HAVE A CHANCE OF A COASTAL
STORM REACHING THE NE CONUS.
&&
.AVIATION...
CONDITIONS DURING THE PREDAWN HOURS WILL GENERALLY BE VFR ASIDE FROM
SOME MVFR TO IFR OVER THE WESTERN ADIRONDACKS AND THE SOUTHERN GREEN
MOUNTAINS CAUSED BY TERRAIN INDUCED LOW CLOUDS AND SHOWERS. THEY ARE
EXPECTED TO RAPIDLY DETERIORATE TO MVFR OVER THE VALLEYS AND IFR
OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN BETWEEN 1100 AND 1300 GMT AS A STRONG FRONT
APPROACHES FROM THE WEST...WITH CLOUD BASES LOWERING TO AROUND 3000
FEET AND VISIBILITY REDUCED TO AROUND 3 MILES IN RAIN SHOWERS. AHEAD
OF THE FRONT WINDS WILL BE SOUTHERLY AND WILL GUST UP TO 45 KNOTS.
CONDITIONS ARE ALSO FAVORABLE FOR LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR PRIOR TO THE
FRONTAL PASSAGE. THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO REACH THE MOHAWK VALLEY
AROUND 1300 GMT AND THE HUDSON VALLEY AROUND 1500 GMT. WINDS WILL
ABRUPTLY SHIFT TO THE WEST WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE AND GUSTS OVER
EXPOSED NORTH SOUTH RIDGES ARE LIKELY TO EXCEED 50 KNOTS.
TEMPERATURES WILL PLUMMET AND THE RAIN MAY CHANGE TO SNOW BEFORE IT
ENDS BETWEEN 1600 AND 1700 GMT. OVER MOST OF THE AREA VFR CONDITIONS
WILL PREVAIL WITH CLEARING SKIES BUT LAKE INDUCED CLOUDS AND SNOW
SHOWERS ARE LIKELY TO RESULT IN MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS DOWN THE
MOHAWK VALLEY IN THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS WITH CONTINUED
STRONG WEST WINDS GUSTING TO AS HIGH AS 40 KNOTS. THE WINDS WILL
GRADUALLY DIMINISH IN THE EVENING AND NIGHTTIME HOURS.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
RIVERS ARE IN GOOD SHAPE. RECORD BREAKING WARMTH THURSDAY AFTERNOON
WILL RESULT IN SOME MELTING SNOW PARTICULARLY IN THE SOUTHERN
TACONICS AND THE BERKSHIRE AND LITCHFIELD HILLS WHICH RECEIVED HEAVY
SNOW DURING THE STORM LAST WEEKEND. THE COMBINATION OF MELTING SNOW
AND RAIN WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE WILL CAUSE MINOR RISES ON SOME OF
THE RIVERS BUT NO FLOODING IS EXPECTED. SOME ICE MAY BREAK UP AND
MOVE AS FLOWS INCREASE. ARCTIC COLD WILL MOVE IN FOR THE NEXT
SEVERAL DAYS WITH TEMPERATURES AVERAGING WELL BELOW FREEZING FOR THE
NEXT FOUR DAYS. RIVER FLOWS WILL RAPIDLY DECREASE AND MORE ICE IS
LIKELY TO FORM ON RIVERS AND LAKES.
