10/6/2018 Colors of tide XTide graphs changed to emphasize that they were upgraded. See next note. Comments welcome. 10/4/2018 I have fixed XTide and updated the harmonic files. There were some name changes so you might have to click EDIT to find the new station name. |

  (on/off)  Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definitionFxus61 kaly 212054 afdaly area forecast discussion national weather service albany ny 354 pm est Thu feb 21 2019 Synopsis Milder and dry weather will continue through the first part of the weekend as high pressure builds into the region. A low pressure system will track out of the central u.S. On Saturday, bringing mixed precipitation to our area Saturday night before changing to rain Sunday. Near term until 6 am Friday morning Clouds continue to slowly erode as high pressure builds towards the area. A few light lake enhanced showers continue across the western adirondacks but not much in the way of any accumulation is expected. These light showers should taper off as the surface high moves closer to the region. Temperatures currently range from the lower 30s in the adirondacks where cloud cover has persisted all day, to near 50 degrees in the mid-hudson valley where sunshine has persisted. Winds are also breezy, generally from the west, with gusts up to 30 mph. These winds should die down this evening. Temperatures overnight will generally be in the 20s, with the coldest spots in the high terrain of the adirondacks. Short term 6 am Friday morning through Sunday Cloud cover will continue to decrease throughout the day Friday with plentiful sunshine. Clouds will linger longer downwind of the lake. High temperatures expected in the 30s to lower 40s. High pressure exits through the day Saturday as the next low pressure system approaches from the central u.S. High clouds will increase through the day Saturday and low level warm advection will gradually increase. Highs Saturday in the upper 30s to lower 40s. Precipitation spreads over our region Saturday night as warm advection, moisture advection and isentropic lift increase. Surface temperatures are likely to fall a little through Saturday evening before the precipitation begins. Then, wet bulb processes with the steadier precipitation will likely aid in temperatures falling another degree or two across the region later Saturday evening. Temperatures will be near or below freezing in many areas later Saturday evening before temperatures rise slowly after midnight, especially in the hudson valley and NW ct north to the capital district. It looks like the transition from a wintry mix to plain rain will be take place fairly quickly Saturday night, with the transition first up the mid-hudson valley into the capital district. Cold air looks like it will hold on longer across the high terrain of the catskills, adirondacks, lake-george saratoga region, southern greenes and the berkshires. These locations are where we could see a quick 1 to 2 inches of snow sleet as well as up to a tenth of an inch of ice accumulation before changing over to all rain on Sunday. Rain will then continue through the rest of the day with periods of moderate rainfall possible. There is still some model variability with total QPF with this system but it looks like most locations will see between half of an inch to an inch of precipitation, with highest amounts south and east of the capital district. Temperatures on Sunday should warm into the upper 30s to upper 40s. Long term Sunday night through Thursday The long term forecast period will begin with the deep low pressure system exiting the region with lingering snow showers across eastern new york and western new england. The lake-enhanced snow showers will linger across the region late Sunday through Monday with minimal accumulations. Strong winds are expected starting Sunday night and continuing through the day on Monday. This is suggested by a very strong pressure gradient, robust pressure rise fall couplets, and deep mixing potential into an anomalously strong low-level jet. The strongest winds are expected over the mohawk valley, catskills, southern capital region, taconics, southern vermont and western massachusetts. The high terrain will experience the stronger winds as well. Winds could gust up to around 55 mph Sunday night through |
Monday and wind advisories will likely be needed to address the strong winds. Temperatures could remain steady throughout the day Monday in the 20s 30s as strong cold-air advection will be in place. High pressure will briefly build into the region on Tuesday keeping conditions dry with partly cloudy skies. The upper flow pattern will become more zonal as we head through the week, but there are some hints at a clipper type system for the Wednesday into Thursday time period. Other guidance suggests a moisture starved weak piece of energy being pushed to our south. For now, have gone with chance pops with temperatures cold enough to support snow. Snow accumulation amounts are very uncertain as of now. Temperatures for Tuesday through Thursday will be near normal to slightly below normal with highs in the 20s and 30s and lows in the single digits and teens. Aviation 20z Thursday through Tuesday Low pressure continues to track off to the east along with deeper moisture. A surface trough has passed the terminals and allowed some of the shallower moisture to mix out such that mainlyVFR conditions are expected through the TAF period. Some lowerVFR stratus have spread back into the terminals north of kpou. Expect bkn coverage to persist north of kpou for the rest of the day and perhaps into the night. CIGS may dip to MVFR at times at kpsf. A few sprinkles cannot be ruled out, but vsby reductions are unlikely. By Friday morning into early afternoon, a bit more breaks in the clouds may appear. Winds this afternoon will be fairly strong from the west with some gusts of 20-30 kt. These gusts may persist into the early part of the overnight period before gradually diminishing. Winds Friday morning into early afternoon will become northwesterly at 5 to 10 kt. Outlook... Friday night: no operational impact. No sig wx. Saturday: no operational impact. No sig wx.

Monday: moderate operational impact. Windy with gusts to 37.0 isolated shsn. Hydrology Hydrological impacts are not expected through at least Saturday. However, we should see gradual melting of snowpack with milder temperatures during the afternoons today and Saturday with temperatures falling below freezing at night. Another period of wintry precipitation is expected Saturday night before changing to all rain on Sunday. Rainfall is expected to continue through the day Sunday, with total qpf amounts generally between half of an inch up to an inch. This rainfall, combined with warmer temperatures, will promote snowmelt and some minor rises on area rivers. The latest mmefs doesn't show any flooding at this time but will continue to monitor as we move closer to the event.

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program. |
