The episode as NWS ALY wrote it up.
A strong area of low pressure moved from the Great Lakes on the afternoon of Wednesday, January 30th towards the St. Lawrence Valley during the morning of Thursday, January 31st. A strong cold front was associated with this area of low pressure. Ahead of the storm, southerly winds allowed warm and moist air to move into the region. While it took some time for the warmer air to overtake the cold, dense air in place, temperatures warmed into the 40s and 50s during the early morning hours of January 31st.
Just ahead of the cold front, a line of heavy rain showers developed around sunrise. Strong wind gusts up to 60 mph accompanied some of this rainfall as it moved across northwestern Connecticut. This caused damage to some trees and power lines, causing power outages throughout the region.
With the rainfall falling heavy in intensity and warmer temperatures allowing for some snow melt, some ponding of water on roadways caused some isolated urban and street flooding, but no widespread flooding occurring.
Behind the cold front, winds switched to a westerly direction and continued to be gusty throughout the day on Thursday, as colder temperatures moved into the region. Additional wind gusts of 35 to 55 mph occurred during the daytime hours on Thursday, January 31st with some additional damage to trees and power lines. Winds diminished by late Thursday afternoon as the pressure gradient began to relax over the area.
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 Jan 31, 6:50 AM EST, 1 hour 10 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
650 AM EST THU JAN 31 2013
.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION EARLY THIS MORNING...
WITH A RAPID RETURN TO WINTER LIKE TEMPERATURES AND VERY WINDY
CONDITIONS. HEAVY RAIN WILL END EARLY THIS MORNING...FOLLOWED BY
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS CHANGING TO SNOW SHOWERS DURING
THE REST OF THE DAY. EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS
AND SQUALLS WILL DEVELOP AND CONTINUE INTO FRIDAY. MUCH COLDER AND
WINDY WEATHER WILL ALSO CONTINUE INTO FRIDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 630 AM...COLD FRONT MORE THAN HALF WAY THROUGHT THE FORECAST
AREA. WIND GUST TO 45 KTS (52 MPH) OCCURRED AT KALB (ALBANY) AS THE
FRONT MOVED THROUGH. WIND GUSTED TO 53 MPH AT KSCH (SCHENECTADY).
BASED ON CURRENT TIMING...SHOULD EXIT THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA BY
AROUND 730 AM. NOT MUCH TO CHANGE TO THE CURRENT FORECAST.
.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
AS OF 500 AM...COLD FRONT RAPIDLY MOVING EAST ACROSS THE REGION
EARLY THIS MORNING...AND WILL LIKELY CLEAR ALL PARTS OF THE FORECAST
AREA BY 7 OR 8 AM. IN ADDITION...THE BACK EDGE OF WIDESPREAD HEAVY
RAIN MOVING RAPIDLY NORTHEAST FROM THE CATSKILLS AND WILL ALSO CLEAR
THE FORECAST AREA BY 7 OR 8 AM. AS OF 500 AM IT APPEARS THAT
DAMAGING SOUTHERLY SURFACE WINDS AHEAD OF THE FRONT DID NOT
MATERIALIZE LAST NIGHT...BUT STRONG WEST WINDS ALONG AND BEHIND THE
FRONT STILL POSSIBLE TODAY AS THE INVERSION DISAPPEARS BEHIND THE
FRONT THIS MORNING AND THE STRONG WINDS MIX DOWN TO THE SURFACE
DURING THE DAY.
SEE THE HYDROLOGY DISCUSSION FOR DETAILS ON THE FLOOD THREAT.
HIGHS TEMPS TODAY WILL OCCUR AT SUNRISE...WITH TEMPS FALLING TO
BETWEEN THE MID 20S AND MID 30S BY SUNSET. THE HIGH WIND WARNING
REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR WEST WINDS OF 20 TO 30 MPH WITH GUSTS OF 50 TO
60 MPH.
A LAKE EFFECT SNOW BAND WILL DEVELOP OFF LAKE ONTARIO THIS AFTERNOON
AS TEMPS COOL AND INSTABILITY INCREASES. HAVE ISSUED A LAKE EFFECT
SNOW ADVISORY THIS AFTN AND TONIGHT FOR NORTHERN HERKIMER COUNTY
BECAUSE INITIALLY...THE BAND WILL HAVE A 270 DEGREE ORIENTATION.
EXPECT 4 TO 8 INCH TOTALS THERE IN PERSISTENT SNOW BANDS THROUGH
TONIGHT. CSTAR RESEARCH OF INLAND EXTENT OF LAKE EFFECT SNOW BANDS
INDICATES THAT THE SNOW BAND WILL EXTEND WELL INTO HAMILTON COUNTY
WHEN IT FIRST DEVELOPS...BUT IT WILL NOT LINGER THERE THAT LONG
BECAUSE IT IS FORECAST TO SHIFT SOUTHWARD INTO CENTRAL HERKIMER
COUNTY TONIGHT AND THE INLAND EXTENT WILL BE DECREASING. HAVE
HIGHLIGHTED IN THE HWOALY PRODUCT THAT LAKE EFFECT SNOW ADVISORIES
MAY BE NEEDED IN HAMILTON AND SOUTHERN HERKIMER COUNTIES DEPENDING
ON WHERE THE SNOW BAND EVENTUALLY FORMS AND MOVES THIS AFTN AND
TONIGHT.
ELSEWHERE ACROSS THE REGION...ONCE THE EARLY MORNING HEAVY RAIN
MOVES OUT...EXPECT ISOLATED TO SCT SHOWER ACTIVITY WHICH WILL BECOME
MAINLY SNOW SHOWERS BY THIS AFTERNOON AND WILL CONTINUE TONIGHT.
LOWS TONIGHT WILL BE IN THE SINGLE NUMBERS OVER THE ADIRONDACKS...
AND TEENS TO LOWER 20S ELSEWHERE. WESTERLY SURFACE WINDS WILL STILL
GUST TO BETWEEN 35 AND 45 MPH TONIGHT...ESPECIALLY EARLY TONIGHT.
&&
.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
BACK TO WINTER ON FRIDAY WITH HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE TEENS NORTH AND
20S SOUTH. WESTERLY WINDS WILL STILL BE GUSTING TO 25 TO 35 MPH SO
IT WILL FEEL MUCH COLDER. LAKE EFFECT SNOW WILL STILL BE OCCURRING
OVER THE WEST...BUT ON FRIDAY EXPECT THE LAKE EFFECT BAND
ORIENTATION TO BE AROUND 300 DEGREES EARLY...AND IT WILL CONTINUE
SHIFTING SOUTH DURING THE DAY..SO MAYBE ANOTHER INCH OF SNOW
POSSIBLE OVER SOUTHERN HERKIMER COUNTY. ELSEWHERE...ISOLATED TO SCT
SNOW SHOWERS WILL OCCUR WITH MAINLY MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES.
SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS WEST OF THE HUDSON VALLEY FRIDAY NIGHT...WITH
DRY CONDITIONS FROM THE HUDSON VALLEY EAST. WINDS WILL FINALLY
SUBSIDE TO BETWEEN 5 AND 15 MPH AND ALSO SHIFT TO THE SOUTHWEST.
LOWS WILL BE NEAR ZERO IN THE ADIRONDACKS...AND SINGLE NUMBERS TO
MID TEENS ELSEWHERE.
A WEAK CLIPPER SYSTEM MAY BRING SOME SNOW SHOWERS TO THE NORTHERN
HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA ON SATURDAY...ESPECIALLY DURING THE
AFTERNOON. GENERALLY AN INCH OF SNOW OR LESS POSSIBLE OVER THE
ADIRONDACKS WHERE LIKELY POPS ARE FORECAST. SLIGHT CHANCE OR CHANCE
POPS ELSEWHERE. HIGHS WILL BE IN THE UPPER TEENS TO AROUND 30.
&&
.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THE MODELS APPEAR TO BE IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT DURING THE LONG
TERM PERIOD. IT STILL LOOKS AS IF THE PERIOD WILL DOMINATED BY A
SERIES OF CLIPPER SYSTEMS...BRINGING REINFORCING SHOTS OF MODIFIED
ARCTIC AIR...SO TEMPERATURES LOOK TO BE SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL.
SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...THE MAIN FORECASTING PROBLEM WILL
BE THE TIMING OF NUISANCE CLIPPER SYSTEMS TRACKING SOUTHEASTWARD
ACROSS THE AREA FROM THE GREAT LAKES AND SOUTHERN CANADA. A BROAD
LONGWAVE TROUGH WILL DOMINATE THE SYNOPTIC PATTERN OVER THE EASTERN
THIRD OF THE CONUS...WITH PERIODIC SHORTWAVE IMPULSES ROTATING
THROUGH THE FLOW. LONG RANGE GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO FAVOR A
PROGRESSIVE FLOW PATTERN...WITH THESE CLIPPER SYSTEMS RIDING THROUGH
THE NORTHERN STREAM FLOW. HAVE CONTINUED TO INDICATE PERIODIC SNOW
SHOWERS THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD TO ACCOUNT FOR THE PASSAGE OF THESE
SYSTEMS.
WHILE MOST OF THESE SYSTEMS LOOK TO REMAIN SOMEWHAT
MOISTURE-STARVED...WE WILL HAVE TO WATCH THE ONE SATURDAY NIGHT INTO
SUNDAY. THIS ONE LOOKS TO TRACK A BIT FURTHER SOUTH THAN ORIGINALLY
THOUGHT....TRACKING ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC WELL TO OUR SOUTH. IT
LOOKS TO PICK UP ATLANTIC MOISTURE...PROBABLY TOO FAR AND SOUTHEAST
TO REALLY IMPACT US. HOWEVER...IF THE TROUGH ALOFT WERE TO DIG A BIT
MORE AS IT MOVES OVER US...IT COULD TRACK THE STORM CENTER A LITTLE
FURTHER NORTH. NOT LIKELY...BUT AN OUTSIDE POSSIBILITY. FOR
NOW...CALL IT A 30-40 PERCENT CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS WITH LIGHT QPF
AMOUNTS EXPECTED.
DUE TO THE FAST MOVING CLIPPERS IT WILL REMAIN BRISK THROUGH MUCH OF
THE EXTENDED PERIOD WITH STEEP PRESSURE GRADIENTS OVER OUR REGION. A
LARGER HIGH PRESSURE LOOKS TO BUILD LATER ON WEDNESDAY.
TEMPERATURES WILL GENERALLY RANGE FROM THE UPPER 20S TO MID 30S FROM
ALBANY SOUTH THROUGH THE PERIOD...20 TO 25 ACROSS THE NORTHERN
PORTIONS OF THE COUNTY WARNING AREA. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL RANGE FROM
THE THE TEENS TO AROUND 20 FROM ALBANY SOUTHWARD...AROUND ZERO TO
ABOUT 10 DEGREES TO THE NORTH OF THE CAPITAL DISTRICT.
&&
.AVIATION /07Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AS OF 445 AM EST...IT IS NOT OBVIOUS WE HAVE TO SPEED UP THE ARRIVAL
OF THE COLD FRONT AT ALL OUR TERMINAL SITES. IT LOOKS AS IF IT WILL
WORK ACROSS THEM BETWEEN 11Z AND 12Z. DOWN SOUTH...WE DECIDED TO
BACK OFF THE SOUTHERLY WIND A LITTLE AT KPOU AS THE STRONG SOUTHERLY
WINDS APPEAR TO BE CONFINED TO THE COASTAL AREAS. STILL...A
SOUTHERLY WIND COULD GUST TO 30 KTS.
FURTHER NORTH...THE THE COLD FRONT TURNED THE WIND TO THE WEST AND
GUSTED THEM TO NEARLY 40KTS AT KRME DURING THE PAST HOUR.
WE HAVE THE WIND GUSTING TO 40KTS AT KALB BY 1130Z...1200Z AT
KPSF...SO THE TIMING WILL IMPACT THE MORNING PEAK. BANDS OF SHOWERS
WILL CONTINUE TO BRING PERIODS OF IFR OR EVEN LOW IFR.
AFTER THE COLD FRONT PASSES THROUGH...CIGS AND VSBYS SHOULD QUICKLY
IMPROVE BACK TO MVFR OR EVEN VFR (PROBABLY FASTEST AT KPOU). THE
WESTERLY WIND MIGHT BACK OFF A LITTLE...BUT SHOULD REMAIN RATHER
STRONG...GUSTING TO 30KTS.
HOWEVER...WE BELIEVE THE WIND GUSTS WILL PICK UP AGAIN LATER THIS
AFTERNOON AS THE LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES STEEPEN. THEY COULD ONCE
AGAIN GUST TO 40KTS OR OCCASIONALLY BETTER...ESPECIALLY AT KPSF AND
KALB.
THE WIND WILL BEGIN TO DIMINISH A LITTLE AS WE HEAD TOWARD DARK AND
THE EVENING PEAK.
OUTLOOK...
THU NIGHT...MAINLY VFR. SLIGHT CHC-CHC SUB-VFR -SHSNS FROM KALB
NORTH. DIMINISHING WINDS.
FRI- MON...MAINLY VFR. SCHC OR CHC OF BRIEF SUB-VFR IN -SHSNS.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
EARLY REPORTS THUS FAR THIS MORNING INDICATE THAT MAXIMUM RAINFALL
AMOUNTS WILL LIKELY REMAIN BELOW TWO INCHES...WITH MANY LOCATIONS
LIKELT TO REMAIN BELOW ONE INCH. WITH THE BACK EDGE OF THE HEAVY
RAINFALL RAPIDLY SWEEPING ACROSS THE REGION BETWEEN 500 AM ABD 700
AM THIS MORNING...IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THE FLOOD THREAT HAS
DIMINISHED. WILL LEAVE THE FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FOR NOW SINCE
LOCALIZED FLOOD PROBLEMS MAY STILL OCCUR AND CANNOT COMPLETELY RULE
OUT THAT A GAGED RIVER POINT MAY MAKE IT ABOVE FLOOD STAGE.
IN ADDITION...SHORT LIVED RIVER ICE JAMS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE. ICE IS
NOT YET THICK ENOUGH FOR LONG LIVED ICE JAMS THAT WOULD CAUSE SERIOUS
FLOODING. SOME MINOR FLOODING IS POSSIBLE FROM ICE JAMS.
THE CURRENT FORECAST FROM THE NERFC SHOWS A FEW RIVER POINTS ACROSS
THE ADIRONDACKS MAY REACH MINOR FLOOD STAGE...AND A FEW OTHER POINTS
THROUGHOUT THE REGION TO REACH CAUTION /ACTION/ STAGE. FOR SPECIFIC
RIVER AND LAKE FORECASTS...PLEASE VISIT THE ADVANCED HYDROLOGIC
