AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Albany NY 639 PM EST Tue Feb 18 2025
SYNOPSIS
Winds and lake effect snow will gradually decrease tonight into Wednesday as high pressure builds in from the west. This will result in below normal temperatures for several more days before moderating this weekend and early next week.
NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/
UPDATE
As of 630 PM EST, clouds have expanded across most areas north of I-90. Some spotty snow showers/flurries also continue in these areas, with a greater concentration across central/southern Herkimer County north of I-90 in association with Lake Effect. This band to the north should shift southward over the next few hours as winds veer slightly within the mixed layer with a weak surface trough and upper level shortwave drops southward. Spotty coatings will be possible with these snow showers/flurries, expect higher amounts of an additional 1-2 inches central/southern Herkimer County.
Winds remain brisk, however remain below advisory levels. Some gusts of 30-40 mph will remain possible this evening within portions of the Mohawk Valley, Capital Region and Berkshires.
Key Messages:
- Lake effect snow will continue through tonight with locally heavy amounts for the western Mohawk Valley and southwest Adirondacks
- Bitterly cold feels like temperatures below zero degrees expected again tonight into Wednesday morning.
Discussion:
The surface pressure gradient currently in place over the Northeast will continue to support gusty winds and lake effect snow through this evening. The ongoing lake effect snow bands are still forecast to gradually retreat westward overnight tonight as the surface pressure gradient decreases. Additional snowfall accumulations of 1-3" are expected, with the highest totals occurring in the western Mohawk Valley.
While winds are forecast to decrease tonight, they will still be high enough to result in bitterly cold feels like temperatures below zero across the entire CWA The most persistent cold is expected across the Adirondacks where a Cold Weather Advisory has been issued for tonight with minimum wind chills forecast to range between -15 and -25.
SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/
Key Message:
- Coastal storm for Thursday looks to remain well south of region, with just some snow showers/flurries possible associated with an upper level disturbance.
Discussion:
Some lingering lake effect snow showers may impact the western Mohawk Valley tomorrow morning before a small area of high pressure builds over the region. The likelihood of any snowfall accumulations over an inch looks to be very low at this time.
The area of high pressure will support below normal temperatures continuing Wednesday. However, winds will be lower than the past few days and wind chills are not expected to be as bitterly cold.
Deterministic and ensemble guidance is still in good agreement that a deepening surface cyclone will remain south and east of the area on Thursday. While there will be a low chance of patchy light snow Thursday afternoon associated with the system's upper level diffluence, little to no accumulation is expected.
LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/
Key Messages:
- Temperatures warming to near seasonable norms next week
- Aside from lake effect snow a dry weekend for most
- Low chances (10-30%) of precipitation early next week from an Alberta clipper
Discussion:
Strong surface high pressure centered across the mid Mississippi River Valley Friday morning will slowly track east towards the Mid Atlantic and Southeast early Sunday morning, allowing for mainly dry weather through the weekend. Scattered lake effect snow showers will be possible across the western ADKs and Mohawk Valley with flow still out of the west at the low levels, but chances are lower (< 20%) with increasing dry air. Temperatures will be on the increase as flow becomes more southeasterly and ridging aloft builds into the area, with highs in the 20s/30s Saturday and Sunday increasing to the 30s/40s for Monday.
More potential for active weather early next week with several deterministic models showing an Alberta clipper tracking across the region. Low confidence at this time on track and storm evolution, and more details forthcoming in subsequent shifts.
AVIATION /00Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/
Band of clouds with Cigs of 3500-4500 will continue dropping southward through this evening affecting KGFL, KALB and KPSF.
There could be a few snow showers which could produce brief periods of MVFR/IFR Vsbys and MVFR Cigs at KALB and KPSF around 03Z-05Z/Wed, which has been included as TEMPO groups in recent TAFs. Otherwise, VFR conditions are expected and should continue through Wednesday.
West/northwest winds should average 8-14 KT with occasional gusts of 20-25 KT overnight into Wednesday, although there could be a period of lighter winds late tonight into Wednesday morning, especially at KGFL and KPOU where winds may become light/variable at less than 5 KT.

Wednesday: Low Operational Impact. Breezy. NO SIG WX.
Wednesday Night: No Operational Impact. NO SIG WX.
