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 kbgm 202039 afdbgm area forecast discussion national weather service binghamton ny 339 pm est Wed feb 20 2019 Synopsis Dual low pressure systems will move through the region tonight bringing a wintry mix. High pressure will build into the region for a short duration on Friday before another low pressure system brings the next round of precipitation later this weekend. Near term through Thursday night Two low pressure systems will continue tracking to the north. The first area of low pressure will move the great lakes with the second area of low pressure tracking up the east coast. Late this afternoon, where precipitation is lightest it has been in the form of a wintry mix. Areas of steadier precipitation, where snowflake production is more efficient, precipitation has been in the form of snow. Based on the observations, the primary changeover line is near avoca and stretches westward toward bradford. This line should come northeastward late this afternoon and evening. However, precipitation types may still change a bit based on intensity. Given lighter precipitation on average this afternoon this forecast lowers snowfall totals for the remainder of the day quite a few locations in the southern tier northward could see less than an inch of snow. Temperatures will continue to warm throughout the night as well. Leaned toward the nam-hires with the temperatures which gets most locations to freezing gradually through the overnight with the 700- 800 mb layer warming above freezing early in the evening. With that said, precipitation tonight should change from freezing rain to rain. Lowered QPF amounts given the continued dry air in place. Still a tenth of an inch in glaze could occur in a few spots leading to slick surfaces. The winter weather advisory will continue given the threat for incing. With a few breaks in the clouds and continued warm air advection Thursday highs should get well into the 40's. Some lingering light lake effect precipitation is possible focused in oneida county through Thursday night. Any additional snow accumulation looks to be minor. With a increased pressure gradient from the departing lows and approaching high some westerly wind gusts of around 20-25 mph are likely tomorrow afternoon which matches projections from bufkit. Clearing will continue to be slow Thursday night with temperatures falling back into the mid 20's. Short term Friday through Friday night High pressure extending from the great lakes will keep our weather clear for Friday and Friday night. Temperatures will peak between 35 and 40 degrees on Friday, then fall into the upper-teens and lower-20s Friday night. Long term Saturday through Wednesday Saturday... A powerful storm spinning into the ohio valley will spread mixed precipitation into our southern forecast area Saturday morning. Temperatures will climb into the 40s during the day and change the precipitation to rain as it spreads across the region. Colder temperatures Saturday night will cause a mix of rain and |
sleet to fall, especially along and east of i-81. Sunday... The cyclone will track into northern michigan on Sunday and pull very mild air and rain showers into ny and pa. Temperatures will climb above 50 degrees by Sunday afternoon before the cyclone drags a strong cold front across our region and changes the rain showers over to snow showers late Sunday night. The cyclone and cold front will be accompanied by very gusty winds. Stay tuned for statements regarding the potential wind event. Monday and Tuesday... Polar air behind the cyclone will pour into ny and pa during this period. Scattered lake effect snow showers are anticipated. A weak wave moving through the mid- atlantic will bring a chance for widespread light snow Tuesday night. Aviation 21z Wednesday through Monday Snow is moving into northeastern pa and the southern tier of ny early this afternoon and should reach krme and ksyr by mid afternoon. Ceilings and visibilities will gradually lower with the arrival of the snow this afternoon to the MVFR and ifr range. The highest chances for ifr visibilities reside in the early and mid afternoon hours. The onset of the snow may vary slightly from what the 18z tafs given some locations have gone very quick fromVFR to ifr further south and others are much slower to form restrictions. Ceilings will likely some more tonight with the snow changing to freezing rain this evening. Sleet is possible as well still this evening. This set of tafs attempted to fine tune the timing of any sleet but some uncertainty still remains. Winds will be southerly with some gusts to 20 knots possible at kith. Llws is likely this evening as well with the highest chances is the 3-10z timeframe. Current thinking is that ceilings will be slower to lift tomorrow than what some of our tools show with ifr ceilings lifting to MVFR in the morning. Westerly wind gusts close to 20 knots are possible tomorrow morning. Outlook... Thursday afternoon and night... MVFR ceilings slowly lifting Thursday afternoon except at krme where some lake effect precipitation is possible. Friday and Saturday...VFR under high pressure. Saturday night through Monday... Restrictions likely with rain, perhaps a brief wintry mix at the start through Sunday. Ceilings slowly improving on Monday. Bgm watches warnings advisories Pa...
