AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Albany NY
1001 PM EST Mon Feb 25 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure will continue to intensify over the Canadian
Maritimes tonight with strong gusty winds continuing over the
region. Some lake effect snow will also continue to impact
locations west of the Capital Region tonight. Cold and brisk
conditions will continue tomorrow, as high pressure will briefly
build in Tuesday night into early Wednesday. Another storm
system will bring a light to moderate snowfall to the region
Wednesday into Thursday morning.

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM TUESDAY MORNING/...
Blizzard Warning is in effect for southern Herkimer County
until midnight EST...

Wind Advisory has been extended until 4 am EST for the central
and eastern Mohawk Valley, Schoharie Valley, Saratoga Region,
Helderbergs, Capital District, eastern Catskills, and Taconics
in eastern New York, and all of western New England...

Wind Advisory is in effect until Midnight EST for the western
and southern Adirondacks, Lake George Region, western Mohawk
Valley and Mid Hudson Valley...

Winter Weather Advisory is in effect until midnight for
northern Fulton County...

Wind Chill Advisory for northern Herkimer and Hamilton Counties
from midnight to 8 am EST...

As of 1001 pm EST...Main change with this update was to extend
the Wind Advisory until 4 AM for much of eastern New York and
all of western New England. Wind gusts continue to to reach
Advisory criteria across much of the area late this evening.
Forecast soundings indicate potential for fairly deep mixing for
a few hours after midnight, thus the extension of the Advisory
for favored areas in the NW flow regime. Also increased pops for
the next few hours across northern parts of the Mohawk valley,
southern Saratoga and northern Capital District into the
northern Berkshires, where a narrow but persistent band of lake
effect snow continues. Hi-res models have had a difficult time
with the band position, but as winds veer over the next several
hours, the band should drift south and start to weaken as
inversion heights lower. Will mention up to a half inch of snow
in these areas through around Midnight.

A powerful low pressure system continues to slowly lift
northeast of the Gulf of St Lawrence. A cyclonic flow of cold
air continues over the region with lake effect snows continuing
over the Mohawk Valley, Saratoga Region, the northern reaches
of the Capital Region extending into southern VT, the northern
Taconics, and northern Berkshires. We extended the winter
weather advisory for northern Fulton Co, and kept the Blizzard
Warning for southern Herkimer Co. An additional 1 to 2 inches
of snow is possible. We dropped the Blizzard Warning for
northern Herkimer Co. and the Winter Weather Advisory for
Hamilton County. Any additional accums from snow showers or
flurries with be a coating to perhaps a half an inch. Some
blowing of the snow may continue in these areas, as gusts
continue in the 35-55 mph range over the entire forecast area.

As the lake effect activity shifts southward it will still be
blustery overnight with wind chills becoming an issue. We have
H850 temps falling to -17C to -27C over the region with better
cold advection, as the sfc trough moves across the region. Lows
tonight will be zero to 5 below over the southern Adirondacks
coupled with winds of 10 to 20 mph will produce wind chills of
around 20 degrees below zero. A Wind Chill Advisory has been
posted for Hamilton and northern Herkimer Counties from midnight
to 8 am.

Lows outside of the southern Adirondacks will be mainly in the
single digits and lower/mid teens. The northwest winds will be
10 to 25 mph with some gusts still in the 30-45 mph range
especially over the Berkshires, Taconics, eastern Catskills and
parts of the Capital Region.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
Wind Chill Advisory until 8 am EST for northern Herkimer and
Hamilton Counties...

Tomorrow...A cold and blustery day is expected across the
region with partly to mostly sunny skies. Cyclonic flow
continues across the region with chilly northwest flow aloft.
Some multibands of lake effect may impact impact the southern
reaches of southern Herkimer County, the Schoharie Valley, and
the eastern Catskills with light snow accums of a coating to
less than a tenth of an inch. The lowering subsidence inversion
and the flow continuing to veer to the northwest to north will
diminish the lake activity by the afternoon. H850 temps will be
1 to 2+ STD DEVS below normal based on the 12Z GEFS. The actual
values will be -17C to -25C from south to north over the region
during the day. Max temps will be at least 15+ degrees below
normal. Highs will be in the single digits to lower teens over
the southern Greens and southern Adirondacks. Teens mainly over
the eastern Catskills, northern Taconics, and Berkshires, and
upper teens to lower/mid 20s in the valleys, with a few upper
20s in the mid Hudson Valley, and southern Litchfield County CT.
Brisk northwest winds of 15 to 25 mph with some gusts of 30-35
mph will produce wind chills in the single digits to below zero
during the day.

Tue night...A 1034 hPa sfc high pressure quickly moves over the
region with initially clear skies and finally light to calm
winds. Near ideal radiational cooling conditions will allow temps
to plummet to zero to 10 below zero north of the Capital
District, and single digits predominately from the Capital
District southward. Some high clouds will be on the increase
towards daybreak, as the next system approaches in the
relatively flat flow along the base of the northern stream cold
mid and upper level trough.

Wed-Wed night...A clipper type low will be approaching from the
Midwest. Low-level gulf moisture will over run the cyclone and
its associated warm front. Clouds will thicken and lower quickly
as light snow may overspread the region by the early afternoon.
The isentropic lift increases by the mid to late afternoon for
periods of snow continuing into the night time period. Total QPF
may range two to four tenths of an inch with this system, as it
as moves across the PA/MD border to s-cntrl NJ by Wed night
into THU morning. The evening and morning commute could be
impacted. A light to moderate snowfall is possible, and some
winter wx advisories may needed, as snowfall amounts may range
from 2 to 5 inches. We will continue to mention this system in
the HWO. It will depend on the track of this system, and the
amount of QPF. Below normal temps are expected on WED with teens
to mid 20s for highs, and lows predominately in the single
digits to teens.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
The period starts out with a disturbance already well east of
our region Thursday morning, but an inverted surface trough may
linger into part of the morning and result in some spotty light
snow showers. Will only mention slight chance pops at this time
Then, high pressure will quickly build in during the afternoon
with drying conditions. Temperatures will be below normal as a
N-NW flow develops associated with the high moving in.

Tranquil conditions expected Thursday evening with high
pressure in place, although the high will drift into northern
New England late so cloud cover would increase with a low
probability of light snow across southern areas overnight into
Friday. The GFS continues to be most aggressive with QPF farther
north, while the ECMWF and CMC has the disturbance tracking
farther south with just very light QPF well south of Albany.
Will split the difference for now and mention chance pops south
of the Capital District.

Weak high pressure will then briefly build back in late Friday
into Friday evening, before the next potential system approaches
by Saturday. ECMWF and CMC indicate more of a northern stream
trough passage with some light snow. However, the GFS is still
depicting a stronger system, with a primary cyclone tracking NE
near Pittsburgh Saturday morning, before transferring energy
near the southern New England coast Saturday afternoon. The GFS
is even trending colder though, so will mention mainly snow with
rain mixing in during the afternoon for valley locations
Saturday afternoon. Due to model differences, will go with
chance pops across most of the area.

Cold and blustery conditions then in store for Sunday into
Monday, as an upper level trough settles in over the Great Lakes
and Northeast. Temperatures should be well below normal, with a
decent potential for lake effect snow in favored areas such as
the western Adirondacks and Mohawk Valley. Fairly strong W-NW
winds expected, which would result in very cold wind chill
values as well.

&&

.AVIATION /03Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Strong west-northwest winds continue across the terminals this
evening. Winds will gust to between 30-45 kt through the evening
hours, then decrease slightly overnight to around 20-30 kt.

Narrow bands of lake effect snow showers will move southward
across KALB between 00Z and 03Z with occasional MVFR conditions.
These snow showers will likely affect KPSF between 01Z and 04Z,
with IFR conditions possible due to upslope component enhancing
the snow showers. Dry conditions are expected at KGFL/KPOU,
where snow showers will remain far enough away for no mention in
the TAFs at this time.

Snow showers will end by around midnight, with VFR conditions
prevailing at all sites. High pressure will build eastward
across the Great Lakes on Tuesday, providing dry conditions and
just a few fair weather clouds. Winds on Tuesday will be west-
northwest around 12-18 kt with gusts of 20-35 kt much of the
day.

Outlook...

Tuesday Night: Low Operational Impact. Breezy NO SIG WX.
Wednesday: Moderate Operational Impact. Chance of SHRA...SN.
Wednesday Night: High Operational Impact. Likely SN.
Thursday: Low Operational Impact. Slight Chance of SHSN.
Thursday Night: Low Operational Impact. Slight Chance of SN.
Friday: Low Operational Impact. Slight Chance of SN.
Friday Night: Moderate Operational Impact. Chance of SN.
Saturday: Moderate Operational Impact. Chance of RA...SN.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
No hydrologic issues are anticipated through the week.

Some lake effect snow showers will impact portions of the HSA
into tonight, especially western parts of the area, but total
liquid equivalent will be a few hundredths to two tenths of an
inch and this precipitation will have no immediate impact on
rivers, lakes, and streams.

Below normal temps are expected the next few days, and with
the colder than normal temps during the day and night, river
and lake ice may increase, thicken, and strengthen for some
areas.

Another period of light to possibly moderate snowfall is
expected Wednesday into Thursday, but no impact on the waterways
is expected. Temperatures may finally return to near normal
late in the week.

Another storm system may impact the region with snow or rain
late Friday into Saturday, but amounts and exact ptypes and QPF
are still quite uncertain with this storm.

observed and forecast river stages and lake elevations, please
