AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Albany NY 624 PM EST Wed Dec 11 2019

SYNOPSIS. Another cold front will cross the region and usher in colder temperatures tonight into Thursday. Lake effect snow downwind of Lake Ontario will impact portions of the Adirondacks and Mohawk Valley with some light accumulations. Thereafter, high pressure will move across the area through Thursday and be east of the region Friday. Another storm will impact the region this weekend.

NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/. Broken band of snow showers in the western Mohawk Valley and southern Adirondacks building slowly east and south. Locally heavy snow at this time but just some initial hints at diminishing in intensity as the snow showers cross into the southern Adirondacks and there is a good consensus in mesoscale model guidance that the intensity should diminish through this evening. There could be a brief eastward extension of the snow showers into the Capital Region, so keeping slight chances up to the Capital Region. Other minor adjustments to sky cover and temperatures. Gusty west winds should spread across the region behind the cold front supporting the snow shower activity. Winds diminish toward daybreak. Previous AFD has a few more details and is below .

GOES 16 imagery reveals scattered to broken stratus as an arctic boundary approaches from the west. In the wake of the frontal passage, wind magnitudes/gusts increase as evident along and west of I81. A few snow squalls, per the snow squall parameter equations, may accompany the frontal passage which appears to be west and north of Albany. Furthermore, lake effect snow is well underway downwind of both Lake Erie and Ontario. Mean flow is currently from southwest to northeast as those winds will veer through this evening to a more west- northwest flow. Bufkit profiles suggest extreme instability class will be in place with relatively high inversion heights near 7k feet. Inland penetration should also be impressive initially as shear at the top of the column will be moderate with intensity. Toward midnight, the NAM3km Bufkit profiles suggest the lowering inversion heights, sub-5km, will move across the lake and lowering shear magnitudes to limit inland extent a bit. At this time, per forecast snow ratios and QPF, we will keep snow amounts just below advisory criteria at this time. Elsewhere, a few flurries or snow showers are possible with some weak bands of snow through the Capital District possible tonight. Overnight lows under variable cloud coverage will range from the single digits to mid-teens.

SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/. Thursday, surface high pressure will move across the region which in turn will reduce and limit lake effect snow further and bring about more sunshine. As H850 temperatures will remain rather chilly from negative teens in the morning and a slight moderation in the afternoon, we will keep temperatures mainly into the 20s and some lower 30s for the mid-Hudson Valley. Some high and mid level clouds will move across the northern half of the CWA in the afternoon as mid level warm advection gets underway.

Thursday night into Friday, as the surface high becomes more removed to our east, an increasing southerly flow will become more apparent. Moisture transport at the low and mid levels increase which supports an increase in cloud coverage overnight and more so during Friday. In fact, guidance supports low level moisture transport from the eastern Gulf and western Atlantic will quickly advect northward with cloud coverage as we will increase our sky grids with this forecast package. Could even see some light precipitation evolve for our southern zones later Friday afternoon. Overnight lows range from the teens to lower 20s, and could rise overnight depending on how much cloud coverage advects across the region. Highs Friday range from near 40F for mid-Hudson Valley and southern portions of Litchfield to lower 30s across the Dacks and peaks of the southern Greens.

LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/. An active weather pattern is on tap through mid-December as a northern stream trough continues to be enforced across the northeast CONUS.

To begin, a strong low pressure system will take shape across the Tennessee valley into the Carolinas Friday night and track northeastward as it deepens. This will result in a wet weather weekend. Precipitation is expected to spread into the forecast area late Friday, becoming widespread by daybreak Saturday. P-type may start out as a mix of sleet or snow in the higher terrain Friday night but should eventually change over to all rain during the day Saturday. Latest GEFS ensembles show that precipitable water values reach +2 to +3 S.D. above normal so expect rain to be moderate to occasionally heavy at times. Around an inch of precipitation is possible through Saturday evening. As this system lifts into Maine, the negatively tilted trough will cross through the area as well as a surface cold front. This will allow for precipitation to continue through at least Saturday night with some locations changing back over to snow. It appears that wrap around moisture with the trough axis will result in continued snow showers through Sunday for mainly the Dacks/southern Greens/Mohawk and Schoharie Valleys. Snow showers across the high terrain will transition to lake effect snow showers for a brief period Sunday night. Highs on Saturday should reach the 40s to low 50s, with lows generally in the 30s Saturday night. Highs on Sunday will be closer to seasonable, in the low 30s to low 40s.

High pressure builds into the region for Monday with morning lows starting out in the teens to mid 20s, warming into low 20s to mid 30s by the afternoon.

The next potential weather system moves into the region Monday night with a chance for mainly snow (with a mix of rain/snow in the mid- Hudson valley) through Tuesday.

AVIATION /23Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/. A cold front will track through our region this evening and a few snow showers are possible around KALB through about 08Z. The snow shower activity should be quite light so just putting VCSH. Snow showers should stay south of KGFL and dissipate before getting to KPSF and KPOU.

VFR ceilings above 3000 feet and predominant visibilities above 6SM will prevail through this evening and into the early morning hours. Ceilings will break up toward daybreak and VFR conditions will prevail through the day Thursday.

South to southwest winds at 10 Kt or less this evening will shift to west behind the cold front and increase to 10 to 15 Kt with gusts to 25 Kt later this evening and into the early morning hours. West to northwest winds will diminish to less than 10 Kt by daybreak and continue light through most of Thursday. Winds shift to south and southwest through Thursday afternoon at 6 Kt or less.

Outlook .

Thursday Night: No Operational Impact. NO SIG WX. Friday: Moderate Operational Impact. Chance of RA. Friday Night: High Operational Impact. Definite RA. Saturday: High Operational Impact. Definite RA. Saturday Night: Moderate Operational Impact Likely SHRA. RA. Sunday: Moderate Operational Impact. Breezy Chance of SHRA. Sunday Night: Low Operational Impact. Breezy Slight Chance of SHSN. Monday: No Operational Impact. NO SIG WX.

HYDROLOGY. As temperatures cool off tonight, runoff from the recent rainfall and snow melt should slow down. Any additional precipitation in the form of snow from early this morning for southern areas won't have any immediate impact on rivers and streams.

For the remainder of the work week, rivers and streams will slowly recede, although some rivers (such as the Housatonic River) may remain elevated. Another storm may bring more moderate to significant rain to the region for Friday into Saturday, which will cause rivers and streams to rise once again. Many rivers may approach bankfull levels, per the MMEFS GEFS, and some flooding will be possible, especially across western New England.

For details on specific area rivers and lakes, including latest observed and forecast river stages and lake elevations, please visit the Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service /AHPS/ graphs on our website.
