The episode as NWS ALY wrote it up.
A strong cold front swept across northwestern Connecticut Wednesday, December 1st, bringing strong and gusty winds and heavy rains to the area. With the passage of the cold front winds quickly shifted from the south-southeast to the west and temperatures rapidly dropped.
Ahead of the cold front, a very strong south to southeast low level jet resulted in wind gusts up to 55 mph, and with the passage of the front there were wind gusts up to around 50 mph. These strong wind gusts downed trees and power lines, resulting in power outages.
Generally, 1 1/2 to 3 inches of rain fell across the area, resulting in some urban and small stream flooding.
The local office's own words before the first event, 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 the first event at Dec 1, 12:43 PM EST, 3 hours 17 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
1243 PM EST WED DEC 1 2010
.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG FLOW OF WARM MOIST AIR AHEAD OF A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL
BRING RAIN TO THE REGION...HEAVY AT TIMES...THROUGH TODAY. THERE
WILL ALSO BE STRONG WINDS ACROSS THE REGION ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE
FRONT. THE FRONT WILL MOVE EAST OF THE REGION WEDNESDAY NIGHT...WITH
MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
AS OF 1125 AM EST...HAVE ADJUSTED FORECAST MAX TEMPS UPWARD A FEW
DEGREES...ESP ACROSS THE MID HUDSON VALLEY...WHERE CURRENT TEMPS
HAVE ALREADY REACHED AROUND OR JUST OVER 60. TEMPS SHOULD NOT RISE
MUCH MORE THAN PERHAPS A DEGREE OR TWO FROM CURRENT OBS...GIVEN
WIDESPREAD RAINFALL NOW OVERSPREADING REGION.
AS NARROW COLD FRONTAL RAIN BAND ACCELERATES E/NE THIS
AFTERNOON...EXPECT RAPID TEMPERATURE FALLS IMMEDIATELY BEHIND THIS
BOUNDARY.
PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...
COLD FRONT HAS STARTED TO ADVANCE RAPIDLY ACROSS NEW YORK STATE
WITH EXPECTED TIME OF ARRIVAL REACHING WESTERN PORTION OF FA
BTW 17Z AND 18Z...HUDSON VALLEY BTW 20Z AND 21Z AND FAR ERN
PORTION OF FA BTW 22Z AND 23Z. DUE TO TIGHTENING PRESSURE
GRADIENT ACROSS FA HAVE EXPANDED WIND ADVISORY TO INCLUDE ENTIRE
FA. HAVE ALSO ADJUSTED TIMING OF WIND ADVISORY AS FRONT WILL NOT
HAVE CLEARED WRN PTN OF FA BEFORE 21Z. STRONG SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST
WINDS AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT WILL LIKELY PRODUCE SUSTAINED WINDS
OF 15 TO 30 MPH WITH GUSTS 45 TO 55 MPH. CANNOT RULE OUT SOME
LOCALLY HIGHER GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 65 MPH ACROSS THE HIGHEST
TERRAIN. PREVIOUS FORECAST MAX TEMPS LOOK TO BE ON TRACK AND HAVE
JUST TWEAKED THE HOURLY TEMPS TO BETTER FIT FROPA. ALSO HAVE LEFT
QPF AMOUNTS IN TACT WITH THE HEAVIEST RAIN JUST NOW MOVING INTO
THE FA. EXPECT THAT MOST OF FA WILL EXPERIENCE A 4 TO 6 HOUR PERIOD
OF MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN WITH ADDITIONAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 1 TO
2 INCHES IN MOST AREAS. THUS FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT ACROSS
ENTIRE FA.
THE FOLLOWING IS FROM THE PREVIOUS AFD ORIGINALLY ISSUED AT 404 AM
EST...AREAS OF RAIN FEED OVER THE REGION FROM SW TO NE...WITH THE
MAIN AREA OF RAIN STILL TO THE WEST. AS LOW LEVEL SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST
WIND FLOW INCREASES...TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO CLIMB AHEAD OF
THE COLD FRONT. MANY AREAS OF THE REGION SEEING TEMPERATURES WELL
INTO THE 40S AND 50S NOW...AND WILL RISE MORE THROUGH THE
DAY...PRIOR TO COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE. AS THE AREA OF RAIN TRACKS INTO
AND THROUGH THE REGION THROUGH THE DAY...RAIN WILL BE HEAVY AT
TIMES...AND WINDS WILL BE QUITE STRONG EVERYWHERE. KEEPING THE WIND
ADVISORY AS IS...BUT EVEN VALLEY AREAS COULD SEE SOME WIND GUSTS
OVER 40 MPH AT SOME POINT TODAY. FLOOD WATCH WILL CONTINUE AS IS.
MOST OF THE INSTABILITY WILL BE SOUTH OF THE REGION...SO NOT
INCLUDING ANY THUNDER.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
STEADIER RAIN WILL EXIT WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING. THE BOUNDARY LAYER WILL COOL...BUT THE MEAN UPPER
TROUGH AXIS STILL REMAINS JUST WEST OF THE REGION...SO THE CORE OF
THE COLDEST AIR WILL BE DELAYED. WINDS WILL TEND TO DIMINISH...BUT
WEST TO NORTHWEST BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW WILL STAY STEADY ENOUGH SO
THAT SURFACE WINDS MAY STAY STEADY THROUGH THE NIGHT. SOME CLOUDS
AND MOISTURE OFF THE LAKES COULD SPREAD THROUGH THE REGION AS
WELL...ESPECIALLY WITH UPPER DYNAMICS PROXIMATE TO THE REGION.
LOWS TONIGHT IN THE 20S TO LOWER 30S.
LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL BECOME ORGANIZED INTO A
SINGLE BAND...NOSING INTO THE SOUTHERN ADIRONDACKS TOMORROW
THROUGH FRIDAY...AND SHOULD GRADUALLY DIMINISH THROUGH FRIDAY
NIGHT AS IT SHIFTS SOUTH. THE EASTWARD EXTENT OF THE LAKE EFFECT
BAND IS IN QUESTION...SO NO HEADLINES FOR LAKE EFFECT AT THIS
TIME...BUT HEADLINES MAY BE NEEDED LATER. A FEW INCHES OF SNOW IN
NORTHERN HERKIMER COUNTY IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION. MORE UPPER
ENERGY SPINNING AROUND THE MAIN UPPER ENERGY COULD EXPAND THE SNOW
SHOWER ACTIVITY ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION FRIDAY AND FRIDAY
NIGHT...BUT JUST ISOLATED ACTIVITY OUTSIDE THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF
THE SOUTHERN ADIRONDACKS AND EASTERN CATSKILLS.
THE MOSTLY CLOUDY SKY IN MOST AREAS...AND INTERVALS OF CLOUDS AND
SUN IN SOUTHERN AREAS WILL LIMIT SUNSHINE AND MIXING...SO HIGHS IN
THE 30S TO LOWER 40S. LOWS FRIDAY NIGHT IN THE 20S.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AT THE START OF THIS PERIOD...THE GFS...ECMWF...AND GEM ALL
FEATURED A NEGATIVELY TILTED TROF AT 500 HPA EXTENDING FROM
HUDSON BAY CANADA TO OFF LONG ISLAND WITH A CUTOFF LOW OVER
THE REGION. THE GFS AND GEM HAD THE CNTR AT 534 NEAR CAPE
COD WHILE THE ECM HAD A DEEPER CENTER OF 530 NEAR KSLK. AT
THE SAME TIME THERE WAS A FAIRLY BROAD RIDGE OVER THE ROCKIES.
THERE WAS PRACTICALLY NO CHANGE AT THE 500 HPA LEVEL ACROSS THE
REGION INTO SUNDAY BUT TOWARD MONDAY THE CLOSED LOW DEEPENED
AND BECAME MORE PRONOUNCED WHILE THE AMPLITUDE OF THE RIDGE
OVER THE ROCKIES INCREASED. MEANWHILE AT THE SURFACE A LOW
DEVELOPS ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY IN THE ATLANTIC ABOUT 1000
MILES EAST OF NEW JERSEY. THIS LOW TRACKS NORTH THEN CURVES
WEST TO EAST OF NOVA SCOTIA BY 12Z SUNDAY. THIS IS SUPPORTED
BY NCEP...THE GFS...AND THE ECM. THE SURFACE LOW THEN MOVES
WEST INTO QUEBEC TOWARD JAMES BAY. AT THIS POINT THE GFS AND
ECM DIGRESS. THE ECM DEVELOPS A SECOND SURFACE LOW NEAR CAPE
HATTERAS WHICH MOVES NORTH AND INTENSIFIES WHILE THE LOW
IN THE MARITIMES WEAKENS WHILE THE GFS MOVES THE FIST LOW
INLAND AND THEN HAS IT TURN TOWARD THE SOUTH WITH THE SECOND
LOW MUCH FARTHER NORTH AND SWEEPING AROUND THROUGH THE GULF
OF ST LAWRENCE BEFORE IT TURNS LEFT INTO QUEBEC AND THEN
CONTINUES TO ROLL AROUND SOUTH UNDER THE UPPER LOW WHICH
REMAINS STALLED OVER NORTHERN MAINE. THE UPPER LOW CAUSES
A WEAK DISTURBANCE SIMILAR TO A BACK DOOR FRONT TO DROP
SOUTH OUT OF CANADA ACROSS THE REGION ON MONDAY AND A SECOND
ONE TO DO SO ON TUESDAY. AS A RESULT THE WEATHER WILL BE
RATHER UNSETTLED...ESPECIALLY NORTH AND WEST OF THE ALBANY
AREA. THE PERIOD SHOULD BE FAIRLY DRY ASIDE FROM SOME LAKE
EFFECT SNOW...WITH CHANCE POPS NORTH AND WEST DECREASING TO
NO POPS ACROSS THE MID HUDSON REGION OF NY AND ADJACENT
CONNECTICUT. TEMPERATURES DURING THIS PERIOD WILL BE 1 TO
3 DEGREES BELOW THE SEASONAL NORM.
&&
.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN ASSOCIATED WITH A STRONG FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL
BE MOVING ACROSS THE ERN NY TERMINALS THIS AFTN. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR
MVFR CIGS...WITH OCNL IFR VSBYS/CIGS AS WELL WITHIN THE POCKETS OF
HEAVIER RAIN. IN ADDITION...STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL GUST UP
TO 40 KTS AHEAD OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY AS WELL. THERE STILL WILL BE
SOME LLWS ISSUES FOR THE EARLY-MID AFTN...AS 2 KFT WINDS ARE STILL
SOUTH-SOUTHEAST AT 40-60 KTS...BUT THESE WINDS WILL DECREASE BY
LATER THIS AFTN AS THE BEST WINDS ALOFT SHIFT EASTWARD. THE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY LOOKS TO CROSS THE AREA BY AROUND 20-22Z. THERE MAY BE SOME
LINGERING AREAS OF RAIN AND SHOWERS IN ITS WAKE...BUT MOST OF THE
RAIN SHOULD END BY 00Z. IN THE FRONT/S WAKE...DRIER AND COOLER AIR
WILL RAPIDLY ADVECT INTO THE REGION FOR THE EVENING HOURS. THIS MAY
KEEP MVFR CIGS FOR A FEW HOURS...BUT VFR CIGS SHOULD RETURN BY
02Z-03Z FOR ALL TERMINALS.
VFR CONDITIONS WILL THEN CONTINUE FOR MOST OF THE OVERNIGHT AND INTO
THURSDAY...WITH JUST SCT-BKN STRATOCU FOR NORTHERN AREAS DUE TO
CYCLONIC FLOW/LAKE ENHANCED CLOUDS. SFC WINDS WILL DIE DOWN AS
WELL...WITH WESTERLY WINDS GENERALLY LESS THAN 10 KTS FOR TONIGHT
INTO THURSDAY.
OUTLOOK...
THU-SUN...VFR...NO SIG WX.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
FLOOD WATCH FOR ALL OF EAST CENTRAL NEW YORK AND ADJACENT WESTERN
NEW ENGLAND...
A STORM SYSTEM WILL IMPACT THE REGION WITH RAIN...HEAVY AT
TIMES...THROUGH TODAY. MODEL GUIDANCE OF 2-3 INCHES WITH UP TO 4
INCHES FOR THE TERRAIN /PERHAPS ISOLATED 5 INCHES FOR THE
CATSKILLS ADIRONDACKS AND HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE SOUTHERN GREEN
MTNS OF VERMONT/. LATEST ENSEMBLE BASED RIVER FORECASTS FROM THE
NORTHEAST RIVER FORECAST CENTER INDICATE WIDESPREAD MINOR FLOODING
WITH A FEW POINTS REACHING MODERATE FLOOD LEVELS. MODELS ALSO
INDICATE THAT MUCH OF THE RAIN WILL COME IN LESS THAN 12 HOURS
DURING THE DAY TODAY. THIS INDICATES THAT ISOLATED FLASH FLOODING
IS ALSO A THREAT. MUD SLIDES ARE ALSO A POSSIBILITY IN STEEP
TERRAIN AS TREES HAVE BECOME DORMANT AND SOIL CONDITIONS ARE LESS
THAN IDEAL TO SOAK UP THE RAIN...INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR
RUNOFF. SMALLER STREAMS SHOULD CREST BY 7 AM THURSDAY...WITH THE
LARGER AND SLOWER RIVERS CRESTING OVERNIGHT THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY.
PLEASE CONTINUE TO MONITOR THIS EVOLVING HAZARDOUS WEATHER
SITUATION FROM YOUR NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE.
