Winter Storm in Vermont, February 13 to 14, 2014

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
640 AM EST THU FEB 13 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
A DEEPENING AND INTENSIFYING LOW PRESSURE...OFF THE NORTH CAROLINA
COAST...WILL MOVE NORTH ALONG THE EASTERN SEABOARD AND BE NEAR THE
DELMARVA REGION BY NOONTIME...BRINGING SNOW INTO EASTERN NEW YORK
AND WESTERN NEW ENGLAND. THE STORM WILL CONTINUE TO INTENSIFY AS IT
MOVES TOWARDS CAPE COD TONIGHT...AND EAST OF THE GULF OF MAINE BY
FRIDAY MORNING...BRINGING A SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL FOR MOST OF THE
REGION.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 630 AM...ALL WARNINGS REMAINED IN EFFECT FOR ALL BUT HERKIMER
AND HAMILTON COUNTIES WHERE A SNOW ADVISORY CONTINUES.

LIGHT SNOW HAS IT INTO THE CAPITAL REGION A LITTLE FASTER THAN WE
THOUGHT. IT APPEARS THAT THIS STORM MIGHT BE MOVING A TAD FASTER
THAN MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTED...IF ONLY BY AN HOUR OR TWO.

SO FOR THIS UPDATE...INCREASED POPS EVEN MORE...REACHING 100 PERCENT
BY AFTER 800 AM FOR THE CAPITAL DISTRICT AND POINTS SOUTHWARD.

TEMPERATURES UP NORTH HAVE RISEN INTO THE TEENS...TEENS INTO THE
CAPITAL REGION...ACTUALLY REACHING INTO THE LOWER 20S ACROSS THE
HIGHER TERRAIN TO THE SOUTHEAST OF ALBANY.

BY AFTERNOON...TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE IN THE 20S ACROSS MOST
PLACES...EXCEPT SOME TEENS WELL NORTH.

SNOW WILL CONTINUE TO LIFT NORTHWARD...REACHING THE LAKE GEORGE
SARATOGA REGION LATER THIS MORNING AS WELL AS THE MOHAWK
VALLEY...AND SHOULD REACH THE SOUTHWESTERN ADIRONDACK DURING THE
AFTERNOON.

THE SURFACE LOW WAS DOWN TO 999MB AND DEEPENING QUITE RAPIDLY AS IT
WAS JUST EAST OF NC/VA COASTLINE. THE BEST PRESSURE FALLS WERE NOW
JUST TO THE EAST OF THE DELMARVA PENINSULA CONFIRMING THE STORM WILL
TRACK NNE AROUND 30 MPH. THESE PRESSURE FALLS WERE VERY
IMPRESSIVE...OVER AN 8MB DROP IN THREE HOURS!

LOW PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO BE OFF THE DELMARVA PENINSULA BY
MIDDAY...CAPE MAY NEW JERSEY BY DAY/S END AND ON THE EASTERN TIP OF
CAPE COD BY EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. IT LOOKS TO DEEP TO BETWEEN
975MB-980MB BY THEN...WHICH TECHNICALLY MAKES THIS CLOSE TO A
METEOROLOGICAL BOMB (DEEPENING 24 MB/24 HRS).

AN IMPRESSIVE UPPER JET OVER 120 MPH WILL BE INJECTED ON ITS EAST
SIDE LATER TODAY INTO THIS EVENING WHICH WILL ENHANCED LIFT DUE TO
INCREASING DEFORMATION.

THE H20 WATER LOOP INDICATED THAT THE UPPER PORTION OF THE
STORM...WAS NEAR ATLANTA GEORGIA...BRINGING A BURST OF LIGHT SNOW TO
THAT AREAS. IT WAS HEADING EAST SOUTHEAST AND WILL HELP DRIVE THE
STORM NORTHWARD AND NOT OUT TO SEA.

CONVECTION WAS STILL EVIDENT BUT IT WAS OVER THE GULF STREAM WELL
OFFSHORE. DRY AIR AT THE MID LEVELS WAS WORKING INTO THE
TROUGH...INTO THE CAROLINAS. THIS DRY SLOT WILL BE ONE "WILD CARD"
WITH THIS STORM...PERHAPS CUTTING DOWN ACCUMULATIONS IN SOME
AREAS...BUT ENHANCING IN OTHERS AS OFTEN TIMES...THE GRADIENT
BETWEEN THE DRIER AIR AND MOIST AIR IS WHERE MESO-SCALE BANDING
BECOME ESTABLISHED.

THERE ALREADY IS A VERY IMPRESSIVE BAND WHICH WAS WHERE THE MID
LEVEL FRONTOGENESIS WORKING UP THROUGH CENTRAL NEW JERSEY. THIS
BAND SHOULD CONTINUE TO WORK NORTHWARD AND BE OVER THE MID HUDSON
VALLEY AND LITCHFIELD LATER THIS MORNING OR MIDDAY. SNOWFALL RATES
WITH THIS BAND COULD EASILY REACH TWO INCHES PER HOUR.

AS THIS BAND LIFTS FURTHER NORTHWARD...IT MIGHT BRUSH INTO THE
CAPITAL REGION BUT MORE LIKELY PIVOT TO THE EAST. SNOWFALL RATES IN
THIS BAND WILL LIKELY REACH UP TO 2 INCHES BUT THE BAND LOOKS TO
KEEP MOVING. OUTSIDE THE BAND SNOWFALL RATES OF 1/2 INCH TO AN INCH
PER HOUR WILL COMMON BY LATER THIS MORNING.

AS THE BAND LIFTS NORTHWARD...THE DRY SLOT WILL FOLLOW...ESPECIALLY
SOUTH AND EAST OF THE CAPITAL REGION. THIS WILL NOT BRING AN END TO
PRECIPITATION...BUT AREAS TO THE SOUTH AND EAST OF ALBANY MIGHT
ACTUALLY BRIEFLY LOOSE ICE IN THE CLOUDS DUE TO THE MID LEVEL
DRYING...WHICH WOULD SERVE TO CUT PRECIPITATION RATES LATER THIS
AFTERNOON. THIS IS THE TIME ENOUGH WARM AIR IN THE MID LEVELS WILL
LIKELY ALLOW A TRANSITION OF PRECIPITATION TO SLEET AND POSSIBLY
EVEN A LITTLE FREEZING RAIN...MORE LIKE FREEZING DRIZZLE...SOUTH AND
EAST OF ALBANY.

AT THIS POINT...ANY ICING IN OUR FORECAST AREAS WILL CONFINED TO THE
MID HUDSON VALLEY AND LITCHFIELD COUNTY AND SHOULD BE A TENTH OF AN
INCH OR LESS.

THEN...THE UPPER DYNAMICS OF THE STORM...THAT IS THE UPPER LOW IS
FORECAST TO PIVOT UP TO OUR TONIGHT. THIS UPPER LOW WILL SERVE TO
QUICKLY COOL THE COLUMN TO CHANGE ALL PRECIPITATION BACK TO SNOW.
ALSO...PER CSTAR STUDIES...AS LOW CLOSES OFF IS WHEN THE SECOND
MESO-SCALE BAND IS LIKELY TO HAPPEN...ENHANCED BY POTENTIAL
VORTICITY ON TOP OF THE MAXIMUM ASCENT.

THE GFS INDICATED THIS BAND WILL BE TO THE EAST OF THE CAPITAL
REGION...WHILE THE NAM SOLUTION PUTS THE BAND RIGHT INTO THE CAPITAL
REGION. WE ARE CONFIDENT THIS FEATURE WILL HAPPEN BUT IS STILL NOT
CERTAIN EXACTLY WHERE IT WILL SET UP.

UNDERNEATH THIS MESOSCALE BAND WHICH WILL LIKELY TAP INTO THE
OPTIMAL DENDRITIC SNOW GROWTH ZONE...WE EXPECT SNOWFALL RATES IN THE
2 TO 3 INCH RANGE. THIS WOULD BE THE TIME CONVECTION MIGHT EVEN
HAPPEN (THUNDER SNOW) WHICH COULD PRODUCE EVEN HIGHER SNOWFALL
AMOUNTS LATER THIS EVENING.

AREAS THAT ARE UNDERNEATH THIS BAND COULD END UP WITH WELL OVER A
FOOT OF SNOW. WE STILL THINK AGAIN THIS BAND WILL BE JUST TO THE
EAST OF THE CAPITAL REGION...BUT WILL MONITOR THIS SITUATION AS THE
DAY WEARS ON.

SINCE THIS IS NOR'EASTER WITH A TIGHT GRADIENT...THERE COULD BE SOME
WIND ISSUES ACROSS MAINLY THE HIGHER TERRAIN WHERE GUSTS SHOULD
REACH AROUND 30 MPH. THIS WOULD PRODUCE SOME BLOWING AND DRIFTING OF
SNOW. IN THE VALLEYS...THE TYPICAL STRONG INVERSION THAT HAPPENS
SHOULD PREVENT MUCH MIXING...BUT EVEN SO...THERE WILL BE SOME WIND
TO AROUND 10 TO 15 MPH...PROBABLY NOT ENOUGH TO PRODUCE ANY
ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS.

THIS WILL NOT BE AN ESPECIALLY FLUFFY SNOW...NOT REALLY WET EITHER.
WE CONTINUED TO USE  MORE TYPICAL 13:1 SNOW TO LIQUID RATIO...BUT
DID DROP IT TO ABOUT 8:1 IN OUR SOUTHEASTERN ZONES LATER TODAY WHEN
THE MIXING WITH SLEET AND POSSIBLY FREEZING WOULD ENSUE.

AS THE UPPER AIR LOW PIVOTS TO OUR EAST...SNOW TO LIQUID RATIOS WILL
LIKELY INCREASE POSSIBLY TO 15:1 BUT FOR NOW...WENT 13:1. LATER
FORECASTERS CAN FINE TUNE THE RATIOS IF NEEDED.

AS THE WHOLE SYSTEM MOVES PAST CAPE COD LATE TONIGHT...THERE MIGHT
BE A BRIEF OPPORTUNITY FOR MOHAWK HUDSON CONVERGENCE (MHC). THIS
HAPPENS WHEN THE WIND REMAINS NORTHERLY IN THE HUDSON
VALLEY...BECOMES WESTERLY IN THE MOHAWK VALLEY...AND ASSUMES A
STABLE MOIST COLUMN.

THE STORM LOOKS TO MOVE QUICKLY NORTHWARD AND AWAY. THEREFORE...
ANY MHC WILL BE BRIEF AND PROBABLY ADD ONLY AN OR SO TO THE SNOW
PACK...BUT THIS COULD BE DURING THE FRIDAY MORNING RUSH.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
IN THE WAKE OF THE STORM...UPPER LEVEL RIDGING WILL BRIEFLY BRING A
RESPITE IN THE WEATHER...AND PROBABLY ALLOW FOR SOME SUNSHINE BY
AFTERNOON IF NOT EARLY FRIDAY. H850 TEMPERATURES WILL ACTUALLY NOT
BE ALL THE COLD...WARMING TO ABOUT -5C. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR
TEMPERATURES TO MODERATE INTO THE 30S ACROSS MUCH OF THE
REGION...WITH SOME UPPER 20S ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN. THESE
TEMPERATURES ALONG WITH SOME SUNSHINE WILL HELP WITH SNOW
REMOVAL...AND MAYBE MELT AN INCH OR TWO.

FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY...IT LOOKS AS IF ANOTHER WEAKER SYSTEM
WILL PASS WELL TO OUR SOUTH WITH A SHOT OF SNOW OR WINTRY
PRECIPITATION. ALL MODELS AGREE ON THIS SOLUTION. HOWEVER AN UPPER
LEVEL SYSTEM PASSING TO OUR NORTH COULD BRING SOME SNOW SHOWERS OF
ITS OWN...NAMELY TO THE ADIRONDACKS...BUT POSSIBLY EVERYWHERE ON
SATURDAY.

IT WILL BE BREEZY AND A LITTLE COLDER SATURDAY WITH LOTS OF CLOUDS
AGAIN. LOOKS FOR HIGHS IN THE 20S OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN...30-35
HUDSON VALLEY.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
WE WILL ROUND OUT THE WEEKEND WITH ONE MORE UPPER LEVEL IMPULSE
PASSING THROUGH THE REGION THAT MAY BRING SOME LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS OR
SOME ENHANCEMENTS FROM LAKE ONTARIO.  EITHER WAY...POPS WILL BE
RATHER LOW WITH LITTLE TO NO ACCUMULATIONS EXPECTED.

FAIRLY HIGH CONFIDENCE THAT SURFACE PRESSURES AND HEIGHT RISES WILL
COMMENCE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY.  THIS SHOULD RESULT IN CLEARING
SKIES AND STILL UNSEASONABLE CHILLY TEMPERATURES WITH LOWS SUNDAY
NIGHT DROPPING TO ZERO OR BELOW FOR MOST OF THE REGION AS FRESH SNOW
COVER SHOULD BE IN PLACE.

ANOTHER FAIRLY POTENT PV ANOMALY MOVES ASHORE ACROSS THE PACIFIC
NORTHWEST AND RECENT MODEL TRENDS FAVOR AN INTERACTION WITH A SHORT
WAVE OVER LOWER LAKE WINNIPEG TO ASSIST WITH SURFACE CYCLOGENESIS
OVER THE GREAT LAKES REGION MONDAY INTO TUESDAY.  THE IMPACT FOR OUR
REGION WILL BE A WARMING TREND BUT THE CHANCE FOR AN OVERUNNING
WINTRY WEATHER EVENT /MAINLY MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY/.
TEMPERATURES FINALLY CLIMB TOWARD SEASONABLE NORMALS /NORMAL HIGHS
NEXT WEEK ARE INTO THE MIDDLE 30S/.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
SNOW WAS QUICKLY ADVANCING NORTH WITH MVFR CIGS/VIS AND WILL BE
DROPPING DOWN INTO IFR CATEGORY LATER THIS MORNING FROM SOUTH TO
NORTH.  WE WILL LIKELY STAY IN IFR FOR THE REMAINDER OF THIS
FORECAST CYCLE.

SOME DRIER AIR ALOFT MAY RESULT IN A PERIOD OF SLEET/FZRA-DZ FOR
KPOU AND KPSF LATER THIS AFTERNOON.  THEN A HEAVY BURST OF PRECIP
/MOSTLY SNOW/ MAY IMPACT THE REGION SHORTLY AFTER SUNSET.

WINDS WILL BE LIGHT/VARIABLE THIS EARLY MORNING...TRENDING INTO THE
NORTHEAST TO EAST AT 5-10 KT BY DAYBREAK. WINDS WILL THEN SHIFT INTO
THE NORTHEAST TO NORTH...AND INCREASE TO 8-12 KT...WITH SOME GUSTS
OF 20-25 KT POSSIBLE BY LATE AFTERNOON...ESP AT KPSF AND KPOU.

OUTLOOK...

THURSDAY NIGHT: HIGH OPERATIONAL IMPACT. DEFINITE SN.
FRIDAY: MODERATE OPERATIONAL IMPACT.BREEZY CHANCE OF SHSN.
FRIDAY NIGHT: LOW OPERATIONAL IMPACT.BREEZY NO SIG WX.
SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT: MODERATE OPERATIONAL IMPACT. CHC SHSN.
BREEZY.
SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY: NO OPERATIONAL IMPACT. NO SIG WX.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
NO HYDRO PROBLEMS ARE ANTICIPATED THROUGH THE NEXT FIVE DAYS.

A STORM SYSTEM TRACKING NORTHEAST ALONG THE EASTERN SEABOARD WILL
BRING A WIDESPREAD SNOWFALL TO HYDRO SERVICE AREA. SNOWFALL AMOUNTS
ARE EXPECTED TO BE MODERATE TO HEAVY ACROSS THE REGION...WITH THE
HEAVIEST SNOW FROM THE CAPITAL DISTRICT...SRN VT...AND NRN CATSKILLS
SOUTH AND EAST.

AFTER THE STORM PASSES...WE ONLY EXPECT LIGHT LAKE EFFECT SNOW
ACTIVITY FRIDAY NIGHT INTO THE WEEKEND.

THE NEXT CHANCE FOR SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION LOOKS TO BE MONDAY
NIGHT INTO TUESDAY. THIS LOOKS TO BE A SNOW...POSSIBLY CHANGING TO A
WINTRY MIX EVENT.
