Area Discussion for - Binghamton, NY
  (on/off)  Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definitionFxus61 kbgm 180030 afdbgm area forecast discussion national weather service binghamton ny 730 pm est Sun feb 17 2019 Synopsis Low pressure over southwest pennsylvania will move east tonight bringing snow to the area, with mixed precipitation over parts of the southern tier of new york and in northeast pennsylvania. Behind the system will be snow showers Monday afternoon and night, followed by dry weather on Tuesday. Another storm will bring mixed precipitation Wednesday into Thursday. Near term through Monday 7 pm update... minor updates to adjust to reality. Snow is racing in and becoming more widespread. Snow is across the southwest half now and should be in the rest of the CWA by 03z. Temperatures adjusted up with upper 20s to around 30 now. Previous discussion... models have changed little in the last couple runs as we approach our next system. Timing has slowed just a bit as the snow approaches the forecast area. Looking at an initial 2 to 3 hour burst of snow as the lift with the overrunning hits the area. Better upward motions lingers over the central and northern zones overnight as the surface low approaches and an upper jet pushes across the area. To the south over the ny border into nepa, mid level drying will cut off the moisture from the ice crystals above bring the risk of freezing rain and drizzle into Monday morning, looks like there could be a few burst of lift which may bring snow mixed in as well at times. Model QPF was similar with this run with storm total amounts approaching 5 inches over the central and northern zones, an inch or 2 in the south where a light glaze of ice likely. So, it continues to be a marginal advisory event, but with the added risk of affecting the Monday commute. Many schools are already closed due to the holiday. Cold air advects in behind the system bringing scattered snow showers to much of the area later Monday morning into the afternoon. Short term Monday night through Tuesday night High pressure will slowly build eastward into the region on Tuesday. However, until that happens some scattered lake effect snow showers and flurries will occur off the great and finger lakes. This forecast is rather pessimistic than blended model guidance clearing out skies and ending lingering lake effect snow around the finger lakes given the northwest winds. Clouds should actually keep low temperatures from tanking due to a fresh snow cover. Still, it will be quite cold with morning lows around 10 on Tuesday. Temperatures will be slow to rebound with most places only getting into the 20's. Some high clouds will start to move in ahead of the next system Tuesday night that will keep temperatures from falling much lower than around 10 for most of the area. Long term Wednesday through Sunday Wednesday through Thursday: another area of low pressure looks to track from the ohio valley into the eastern great lakes with a secondary low forming off the mid-atlantic coast. A warm front will accompany these low pressure systems that moves through Wednesday night. Light precipitation is likely to develop as snow on Wednesday. Thermal profiles show another occurrence of mid-level warming around 750-900 mb before the surface. As a result, a change to sleet and freezing rain is likely late Wednesday night. Temperatures warm enough Thursday for the precipitation to end as rain. The best lift with the overrunning moisture looks to stay south of the region in the mid-atlantic with much lighter precipitation across our region. Some uncertainty in the location of the best lift along the warm front is still present with the ECMWF having this additional precipitation clip portions of the poconos. Overall, a fairly consistent signal within the ensembles the past several days with QPF more in the .1-.2 range at this time. Guidance from our national center has also trended downward into the range given the model trends. An exception could be if the terrain enhancement similar to what the GFS 12z 2 17 pans |
out across oneida county. Currently, a minor snow accumulation followed by a light icing is the most likely outcome before a change to some scattered rain showers late Wednesday night. Daytime temperatures Wednesday look to top out in the 20's then warm some Wednesday night with a non-diurnal trend still anticipated. Ensemble guidance is showing warmer temperatures on Thursday with this model cycle. This will be likely be due to our region being in the warm sector during the day as rain showers clear out. The ECMWF suite is most aggressive with this warm-up and has had a few occasions recently where the more aggressive warm-up option several days out has occurred. This forecast will trend temperatures in that direction with modeled 925 mb temperatures above 0c, getting afternoon highs well into the 40's. Thursday night through Sunday Thursday night into Friday, some lake effect flurries snow showers will be possible mainly along and north of the thruway thanks to NW flow. A few rain snow showers are also possible across NE pa through Friday morning behind the exiting low pressure system. High pressure briefly takes control Friday afternoon, with our best shot at dry weather. Temperatures start in the upper teens and 20s reach highs in the 30s to low 40s. Dry weather continues into early Saturday morning as temperatures fall into the upper teens to mid 20s, then our next system starts to work in. Indications are for an upper-level low to develop over the midwest, with warmer and more moist air working in and bringing our next chances for rain and snow showers Saturday afternoon and evening. Rain and mixed precipitation become more likely into Sunday as the low pressure system tracks across the great lakes, then the cold front should begin to pass through central ny Sunday evening. Look for highs generally in the upper 30s to mid 40s both days, with Sunday morning lows in the upper 20s to low 30s.
