Cold in Vermont, January 2 to 4, 2014

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
611 PM EST THU JAN 2 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE WILL REFORM OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST THIS
EVENING...AND MOVE NORTHEAST INTO TOMORROW. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR A
PROLONGED PERIOD OF SNOW ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH TOMORROW
MORNING. VERY COLD AIR WILL ACCOMPANY THIS SNOW...ESPECIALLY
ACROSS NORTHERN AND HIGH TERRAIN PORTIONS OF THE REGION...WITH
DANGEROUSLY COLD WIND CHILL VALUES. DRY...BUT CONTINUED COLD
WEATHER WILL BE IN PLACE ON SATURDAY...BEFORE ANOTHER STORM
THREATENS THE REGION FOR SUNDAY INTO MONDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM FRIDAY MORNING/...
AS OF 6150 PM EST...SNOW IS FALLING ACROSS ALL AREAS AT THE RATE
OF AT LEAST A QUARTER INCH PER HOUR. A BAND OF ENHANCED
ISENTROPIC LIFT ALONG THE I-88 CORRIDOR TO CAPITAL DISTRICT IS
PRODUCING AN INCH PER HOUR. THIS BAND IS EXPANDING AGAIN...AND
SPREADING NORTHEAST INTO SVT.

MEANWHILE SFC CENTER JUMP IS IN PROGRESS AS SFC LOW ORGANIZES OFF
SNJ. SAT IMAGERY SHOWS EXPANDING BAROCLINIC LEAF FM E NYS SW INTO
PA/CNTRL VA...LIFTING NE. THIS IS RESULTING IN INCRG SNOWFALL
RATES OVER EPA AND SNJ...WHICH WILL OVERSPREAD S AREAS OF FCA NEXT
FEW HRS.

THIS SNOW IS LARGELY DUE TO A COMBINATION OF MID LEVEL
FRONTOGENETICAL FORCING...AND ISENTROPIC LIFT/MOST NOTABLE ALONG
THE 280 K SFC.

OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS...WE EXPECT WIDESPREAD LIGHT TO MODERATE
SNOW TO CONTINUE ACROSS THE REGION...WITH A FEW POCKETS OF HEAVY
SNOW POSSIBLE. SNOWFALL RATES WILL LIKELY APPROACH ONE INCH PER
HOUR IN MANY AREAS...AND SOME LOCALLY HIGHER SNOWFALL RATES WILL
BE POSSIBLE...ESP ALONG I-88 CORRIDOR INTO CAP DISTRICT AND S VT.

LATER THIS EVENING...MOST LIKELY BETWEEN 11 PM AND 2 AM...THE
AREA OF MODERATE SNOW WITH SOME POCKETS OF HEAVIER SNOW WILL
GRADUALLY BEGIN TO SINK SOUTHWARD...AS THE LEADING EDGE OF A LOW
LEVEL EASTERLY 925-850 40+ KT JET ALSO PIVOTS SOUTHWARD ALONG WITH
THE UPR LVL FORCING ASSOC WITH THE BAROCLINIC LEAF. THE SNOW
SHOULD BECOME MORE INTERMITTENT ACROSS NORTHERN AREAS DURING THIS
TIME...AND THEN BETWEEN 2 AM AND 6 AM FURTHER SOUTHWARD.

AS FOR SNOWFALL AMTS OVERNIGHT...FOR AREAS NORTH OF THE MOHAWK
RIVER...EXPECT AN ADDITIONAL 3-6 INCHES...WHICH INCLUDES THE
MOHAWK VALLEY REGION...THE LAKE GEORGE/SARATOGA REGION...SOUTHERN
VT...AND THE NORTHERN BERKSHIRES. FURTHER SOUTH AND
EAST...INCLUDING THE GREATER CAPITAL DISTRICT...SCHOHARIE
VALLEY...EASTERN CATSKILLS...NW CT AND THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN
BERKSHIRES...EXPECT AN ADDITIONAL 4-8 INCHES THROUGH DAYBREAK.

NORTH TO NORTHEAST WINDS WILL INCREASE OVERNIGHT...WITH SPEEDS OF
10-20 MPH DEVELOPING...ALONG WITH SOME HIGHER GUSTS OF 25-30
MPH...ESP ACROSS HIGHER TERRAIN. GIVEN THE DRY CONSISTENCY OF THE
SNOW...WE EXPECT AREAS OF BLOWING SNOW TO DEVELOP.

GIVEN THAT CURRENT TEMPS ARE ALREADY GENERALLY IN THE ZERO TO 10
ABOVE RANGE IN MOST AREAS...HAVE SIDED WITH THE COLDER MAV MOS FOR
MIN TEMPS OVERNIGHT...WITH TEMPS FALLING TO BETWEEN ZERO AND 10
BELOW FOR MOST AREAS FROM ALBANY N...W AND NE...WITH SOME 10 TO 15
BELOW READINGS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN ADIRONDACKS. FURTHER
SOUTH...EXPECT MIN TEMPS TO FALL GENERALLY TO BETWEEN ZERO AND 10
ABOVE ACROSS THE MID HUDSON VALLEY AND NW CT. WIND CHILL VALUES
WILL LIKELY REACH 15 TO 25 BELOW IN MANY AREAS...EXCEPT 10 T0 20
BELOW ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE MID HUDSON VALLEY. WIND CHILL
ADVISORIES/WARNINGS HAVE BEEN INCORPORATED INTO THE ONGOING WSW
STATEMENTS EXCEPT FOR THE WESTERN ADIRONDACKS...WHERE WIND CHILL
WARNINGS REMAIN IN EFFECT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
FRIDAY...SOME LINGERING SNOW SHOWERS SHOULD BE ONGOING FOR AREAS
NEAR AND E OF THE HUDSON RIVER...BEFORE GRADUALLY TAPERING OFF
FROM W TO E BY MID TO LATE MORNING. ADDITIONAL SNOWFALL AMTS
DURING THIS TIME SHOULD GENERALLY BE ONE INCH OR LESS.
OTHERWISE...SOME CLEARING IS EXPECTED DURING THE AFTERNOON. BRISK
W/NW WINDS WILL GUST TO 20-25 MPH AT TIMES. THIS WILL LEAD TO WIND
CHILL VALUES IN THE -10 TO -20 RANGE IN MOST AREAS IN THE
AFTERNOON...EXCEPT -20 TO -25 ACROSS HIGHER ELEVATIONS. ADDITIONAL
WIND CHILL STATEMENTS WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED FOR FRI
AFTERNOON/EVENING.

FRIDAY NIGHT...GENERALLY CLEAR SKIES...DIMINISHING WINDS...AND A
FRESH...DEEP SNOWCOVER SHOULD ALLOW TEMPS TO PLUMMET. HAVE
EITHER SIDED WITH...OR WENT BELOW THE COLDEST MOS GUIDANCE...WITH
WIDESPREAD SUBZERO TEMPS LIKELY. SOME TEMPS WILL LIKELY FALL TO
BETWEEN -20 AND -30 ACROSS THE LAKE GEORGE/SARATOGA REGION...AND
THE SOUTHERN ADIRONDACKS...AS WELL AS HIGHER ELEVATIONS ACROSS
WESTERN NEW ENGLAND. TEMPS WILL ALSO FALL INTO THE -5 TO -15 RANGE
IN MOST OTHER AREAS.

SAT-SAT NT...GENERALLY FAIR...BUT QUITE COLD. SAT MAX TEMPS ONLY
SHOULD REACH THE TEENS AND LOWER 20S...AND MIN TEMPS FALLING INTO
THE SINGLE DIGITS AND LOWER TEENS. SNOW SHOWERS COULD REACH THE
WESTERN ADIRONDACKS LATE SAT NT...IN ASSOCIATION WITH A SURGE OF
MID LEVEL WARM ADVECTION.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT STORM SYSTEM WITH A MIX OF WINTRY PRECIPITATION
BECOMING INCREASINGLY LIKELY SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY...

COLD TEMPERATURES AND DANGEROUSLY LOW WIND CHILLS SET TO RETURN FOR
THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK...

AT THE START OF THE LONG TERM PERIOD...ANOTHER POWERFUL AND DYNAMIC
SYSTEM WILL BE TAKING SHAPE AS EMBEDDED PIECES OF SHORTWAVE ENERGY
CARVE A DEEP UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS. LATEST
LONG RANGE GUIDANCE INDICATES A RATHER IMPRESSIVE NORTHERN STREAM PV
ANOMALY BEING INGESTED INTO THIS DEVELOPING SYSTEM...ALLOWING FOR A
POTENT SURFACE LOW TO DEVELOP. AHEAD OF THIS SURFACE LOW...GULF
MOISTURE WILL BE ENTRAINED NORTHWARDS AS NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN
STREAM ENERGY BEGIN TO PHASE DURING THE DAY SUNDAY.

THIS SURFACE LOW WILL MOVE NORTHEAST TOWARDS THE GREAT LAKES
REGION...BRINGING ANOTHER POTENTIAL SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM TO THAT
REGION. HOWEVER...LONG RANGE GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO STRUGGLE WITH THE
TRACK AND TIMING OF THE SURFACE LOW...WITH THE ULTIMATE EVOLUTION
HINGING ON SHORTWAVE ENERGY MOVING ABOUT THE BASE OF THE UPPER-LEVEL
TROUGH...WHICH CAN PROVE CHALLENGING TO DISCERN 3-5 DAYS OUT IN
MODEL RUNS WHERE LARGE AMPLITUDE WAVES ARE TRYING TO BE ANALYZED.

HOWEVER...BOTH THE 12Z ECMWF...GFS AND GEFS ARE SLOWLY COMING INTO
BETTER AGREEMENT WITH THE SURFACE LOW TRACKING ACROSS CENTRAL NEW
YORK...WITH POSSIBLE DEVELOPMENT OF A WEAK COASTAL LOW AS WELL AS
ADDITIONAL SHORTWAVE ENERGY EJECTS OUT OF THE MAIN UPPER-LEVEL
TROUGH. STRONG LOW-LEVEL WARM AIR ADVECTION AND ISENTROPIC LIFT WILL
PRECEDE THE ARRIVAL OF THE SURFACE LOW RESULTING IN CHANCES FOR SNOW
SHOWERS DURING THE DAY SUNDAY. HIGHS SUNDAY WILL GENERALLY RANGE
FROM THE UPPER 20S TO MID 30S.

PRECIPITATION TYPE THEN BECOMES QUITE TRICKY FOR SUNDAY NIGHT INTO
MONDAY. COMPLICATING MATTERS ARE A NEGATIVE NAO AND DEEP SNOWPACK
ACROSS THE REGION...WHICH WOULD FAVOR A COLDER SOLUTION. WILL FAVOR
A COLDER SOLUTION AS A STRONG NORTHERLY AGEOSTROPHIC LOW-LEVEL WIND
WILL LIKELY BE IN PLACE GIVEN THE STRONG DYNAMICS OF THIS SYSTEM
DESPITE STRONG WARM AIR ADVECTION ALOFT.

HAVE GONE WITH LIKELY POPS ACROSS THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA BEGINNING
SUNDAY NIGHT WITH THE EXACT PRECIPITATION TYPE BEING DEPENDENT ON
THE ULTIMATE SURFACE LOW TRACK. REGARDLESS...IT APPEARS INCREASINGLY
LIKELY THAT A MIXED PRECIPITATION EVENT WILL IMPACT MUCH OF THE
AREA...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR SNOW/SLEET/FREEZING RAIN FROM THE
CAPITAL DISTRICT SOUTH AND PRIMARILY SNOW FURTHER TO THE NORTH AS
SURFACE TEMPERATURES FALL TO NEAR OR SLIGHTLY BELOW FREEZING WITH
850 HPA TEMPS APPROACHING +2-3C.

THIS STORM SYSTEM WILL BE QUICK MOVER...WITH A COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE
EARLY MONDAY MORNING. AS TEMPERATURES BRIEFLY WARM EARLY MONDAY
MORNING BEHIND THE FRONTAL PASSAGE...SOUTHERN AREAS SHOULD
TRANSITION TO RAIN WITH A LINGERING WINTRY MIX FURTHER NORTH BEFORE
PRECIPITATION CHANCES END FROM WEST TO EAST BY MONDAY EVENING. WILL
CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT THIS STORM IN THE HWO.

BEHIND THIS SYSTEM...A PROLONGED LAKE EFFECT SNOW EVENT MAY SET UP
ACROSS THE TUGHILL PLATEAU INTO THE SOUTHERN ADIRONDACKS.
TEMPERATURES WILL ALSO PLUMMET AS 850 HPA TEMPERATURES DROP TO
AROUND -25C...ALLOWING FOR MOST OF THE REGION TO DIP BELOW ZERO
MONDAY NIGHT...ESPECIALLY WHERE SIGNIFICANT SNOW COVER STILL EXISTS.
TEMPERATURES WILL STRUGGLE TO REACH THE SINGLE DIGITS ACROSS MOST
LOCATIONS DURING THE DAY TUESDAY BEFORE PLUMMETING BELOW ZERO AGAIN
TUESDAY NIGHT. WIND CHILLS WILL ALSO POTENTIALLY REACH ADVISORY
LEVELS AGAIN NEXT WEEK AS A TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT ALLOWS FOR A
GUSTY NORTHWEST WIND ACROSS THE REGION. WILL HIGHLIGHT THE WIND
CHILL THREAT IN THE HWO AS WELL. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS
MOST OF THE REGION FOR MIDWEEK...ENDING THE LAKE EFFECT THREAT
BEFORE ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM POTENTIALLY GRAZES THE REGION TO END THE
WORK WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /23Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
SNOW WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MUCH OF THE TAF PERIOD WNDING AT 18Z FRIDAY.
THE SNOW WILL COME DOWN HEAVIEST THIS EVENING AS AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE MOVES OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST AND STRENGTHENS TONIGHT.
IFR CONDITIONS WILL LOWER TO LIFR FOR THE EVENING WITH THE HEAVIER
SNOW. AN IMPROVEMENT TO MVFR IS EXPECTED TO OCCUR LATE IN THE
PERIOD AS THE SNOW LIGHTENS UP.

NORTH TO NORTHEAST WINDS AROUND 10 KNOTS WILL SHIFT MORE TO THE
NORTH AS THE DAY PROGRESSES AND INCREASE IN SPEED AS LOW MOVES OFF
THE MID ATLANTIC COAST AND STRENGTHENS. GUSTS TO AROUND 20 KNOTS ARE
EXPECTED.

OUTLOOK...

FRIDAY NIGHT: NO OPERATIONAL IMPACT.  NO SIG WX.
SATURDAY: NO OPERATIONAL IMPACT.  NO SIG WX.
SATURDAY NIGHT: NO OPERATIONAL IMPACT.  NO SIG WX.
SUNDAY: MODERATE OPERATIONAL IMPACT. CHANCE OF RA...SN...SLEET.

.HYDROLOGY...
NO WIDESPREAD HYDROLOGIC PROBLEMS ARE EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT FIVE
DAYS.

A STORM SYSTEM WILL BRING SNOW TO THE REGION THROUGH TOMORROW
MORNING. VERY COLD TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED LATE THIS
WEEK...WHICH WILL CONTINUE TO ALLOW RIVER AND LAKE ICE TO FORM AND
THICKEN.

ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM WILL BRING PRECIPITATION TO THE REGION LATE
SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. WITH WARMER AIR EXPECTED ALOFT...PRECIPITATION
WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL BEGIN AS SNOW OR A WINTRY MIX...AND PERHAPS CHANGING
TO RAIN IN SOME AREAS. PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS ARE STILL UNCERTAIN
WITH THIS SYSTEM.
