  (on/off)  Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definitionFxus61 kaly 231428 afdaly area forecast discussion national weather service albany ny 928 am est Sat feb 23 2019 Synopsis As high pressure slides across the region today, a developing storm will bring a wintry mixture to most of the region tonight. This wintry mixture transitions to all rain on Sunday as warmer air advances northward. Then a strong cold front along with a strengthening storm north of the great lakes region will usher in colder temperatures and powerful winds across the region Sunday into Monday. Near term until 6 pm this evening As of 915 am est, high clouds will continue to stream across the region today ahead of the next storm system taking shape in the central plains. This should allow for some peeks of sunshine through the high clouds this morning as temperatures warm into the upper 30s to lower 40s by this afternoon. So have freshened up the hourly temps to reflect recent obs with the majority of the forecast on track for today. Prev disc... as of 630 am est... Enhanced nighttime GOES 16 microphysics imagery continues to reveal a couple layers of clouds across the region. The persistent stratus deck across portions of the dacks and western mohawk valley is showing signs of moving toward the north. This deck was below the subsidence inversion seen in the hrrr rap forecast bufkit soundings this early morning. By later this morning, enough mixing should commence and allow for additional breaks in the overcast to occur across these areas. Elsewhere, canopy of ci cs continue to stream across the sky from west to east as southern plains system takes shape. So as 1034mb surface high transverses the region, should be a tranquil and seasonable start to the weekend as we climb to around 40f for valley locations and 30s elsewhere under partly-mostly sunny conditions. Short term 6 pm this evening through Monday Winter weather advisory for most of the region tonight... high wind watch expanded to include most of the region... as has been well discussed in previous afd's, a potent storm will unfold and develop from the southern plains and quickly track across the heart of the great lakes region. This meteorological bomb will allow for downstream moisture transport and isentropic lift to overspread all of eastern ny and western ne tonight. Per thermal profiles and still some residual low level ageostrophic flow from the north, seems our region will be under the threat for a wintry mixture to evolve from southwest to northeast tonight. As convection upstream is expected to be quite robust (see SWODY1 for the moderate risk and slight risk areas upstream), transport moisture disruption is possible. Href depicts this notion as lighter QPF is expected across most of the region. Exception to this will be across the dacks into the southern greens were favorable upslope conditions are expected with a bit more favorable QPF values. Regardless, thermal profiles suggest the onset may start out as some light snow then transition to periods of sleet and freezing rain. Per the href ptypes, seems the higher terrain will be the most susceptible for accumulation ip fzra and into the lake george and northern saratoga region. Per coordination from wwd and surrounding offices, snow accumulations of around 1 inch with up to one tenth of an inch of ice. So difficult travel conditions with winter precipitation tonight, especially on untreated surfaces. Overnight lows with wet bulb processes would suggest lower 30s for valley locations to mid-upr 20s elsewhere. Into Sunday, strengthening southerly low level jet magnitudes will allow for the thermal profiles to moderate above freezing which will reduce ip fzra through the morning hours. Then periods of rain and rain showers are expected until a dry slot approaches during the afternoon hours. So pockets of drizzle as well are expected as there could be a period of dry weather, especially to the south of albany. MOS guidance for highs vary quite a bit as the mav is quite a bit milder than the met. The ecmwf MOS appears to be a nice compromise with highs mainly in the 40s cwa-wide. As great lakes low deepens further toward 970mb, potent cold front crosses the region by early Sunday evening. The best isallobaric rise occur to the north of the region, however, gradient and wind magnitudes remain quite high across the region. Per bufkit momentum transfer, 40-60 kts wind gust potential along with mesoscale effects down the mohawk valley are enough for us to extend the high wind watch for most of the region. Cold advection will be strong as h850 temperatures go from +2c to +4c down to -12c to -14c by 12z Monday. So the transition to rain snow showers to all snow showers are expected. Additional light accumulations of snow are possible across the higher terrain, especially into the dacks where some blowing of the snow is expected. Overnight lows mainly into the 20s with teens into the dacks as wind chills drop back through the teens and single digits. Monday, blustery... Gusty... Potentially damaging winds will impact the region. In addition, lake effect snow will be ongoing downwind of lake ontario where portions of the western dacks and mohawk valley may experience additional accumulating light snowfall. What does fall will likely be hard to measure with the strong winds with blowing and drifting of the snow. As this time, per the nam3km, seems the band(s) of snow will be drifting southward through the afternoon hours as boundary layer flow becomes more northwest behind a short wave passing through per ncep model suite consensus. High temperatures Monday will range from the lower 20s across the dacks to lower 30s for the hudson river valley locations and NW ct. Long term Monday night through Friday Behind the departing storm system, strong cold advection will be ongoing for Monday night through Tuesday. With much colder air working its way into the region, a band of lake effect snow should be ongoing off lake ontario. With the northwest flow in place, the core of this band will be impacting central new york, but some snow showers should make it as far east as parts of the western and central mohawk valley, schoharie county and the eastern catskills. Some accumulation is possible for these areas for Monday night into Tuesday, but amounts should be fairly light. Outside of the lake effect, it will partly to mostly cloudy and colder. Lows will be in the single digits and teens and highs on Tuesday will be in the teens and 20s. With the decent pressure gradient still in place and plenty of mixing due to the colder temps aloft, it will continue to be rather breezy. Some gusts over 40 mph will still be possible for Monday evening, but should diminish |
somewhat for later Monday night into Tuesday. Still, gusts over 25 mph will be possible, especially for areas of channeled flow and the higher terrain. The lake effect should diminish by Tuesday night, as a high pressure area moving across the area lowers inversion heights. With clearing skies and cold temps aloft (850 hpa temps as cold as -20 to -25 c), it should be a cold night, with lows ranging from 5 below over the adirondacks to the low teens in the mid hudson valley. Next chance for some snow showers looks to be Wed into Wed night, although latest model runs have been backing off this potential somewhat. Northern stream shortwave looks to move from the great lakes towards the northeastern us. However, moisture will be fairly limited with the fast moving system and the latest ECMWF and many members of the GEFS are now showing little snowfall. Will continue slight chc and chc pops for snow showers, but these may be fairly scattered in nature and may not add up to a whole lot based off the latest guidance. Wpc still shows northern and higher terrain areas with a 10% to 30% chance of 0.25" of liquid equivalent, which is probably still fair for now. Highs will continue to below normal in the teens and 20s. Behind this system, another high pressure area will keep dry, quiet and chilly weather in place for Thursday with a partly sunny sky. Highs look to reach the low 20s to mid 30s, with the mildest temps in southeastern areas. As of right now, it also looks to remain dry for Thursday night into Friday, although the next storm could approach as early as Friday night. Models are still all over the place with the track and evolution of this system, but will go with chc pops for snow and rain for Fri night into the weekend with temps generally near normal levels. Aviation 14z Saturday through Wednesday Vfr flying conditions are expected to continue through the day today. Based off the latest IR satellite imagery, skies should be bkn-ovc with thin high clouds in place through the entire day around 20-25 kft. Wind direction will be variable, but will generally trend from the n-nw towards the s-se by later in the day. Clouds will lower and thicken this evening as the next storm system starts to approach. Ceilings will become overcast around 12 kft by later this evening with a light southeast wind. Some light precip in the form of a wintry mix of sleet and freezing rain will arrive around midnight from south to north. Flying conditions will initially lower to MVFR for both vsbys CIGS once precip begins. Towards daybreak, flying conditions will be lowering towards ifr, although p-type will generally be rain (best chance of some lingering mix will be for kpsf kgfl). Winds will continue to be light from a s-se direction, although 2 kft winds will be increasing to around 30-40 kts from the SE by Sunday morning, so some llws may become an issue. Outlook...

Tuesday: low operational impact. Breezy. No sig wx. Tuesday night: no operational impact. No sig wx. Wednesday: low operational impact. Slight chance of shsn. Wednesday night: low operational impact. Slight chance of shsn. Thursday: no operational impact. No sig wx. Hydrology No hydrological impacts are expected today. Another period of wintry mixed precipitation is expected tonight before changing to all rain on Sunday late morning into the early afternoon. Rainfall is expected to continue through the day Sunday, with total QPF amounts generally between half of an inch up to an inch with localized higher amounts. The rainfall, combined with warmer temperatures, will promote snowmelt and some minor rises on area rivers. The latest mmefs this morning continues to show no flooding at this time but will continue to monitor. Colder air moves back into the region late Sunday into Sunday night with lake effect snowfall the main precipitation type into Monday. Cold and mainly dry weather is expected for Tuesday, and some light snow or snow showers for the mid week. Flows should lower quickly, and colder than normal temps are expected for the mid to later portion of the week.
