Potential for heavy flurries...

[Couchsachraga]

NWS ALB calling for 1-3+ of snow Thursday into Friday in what they call "western adirondacks" but tend to mean "Gore Mountain Johnsburg area" (the western part of their "territory" I believe).

We'll see what it brings. I'm guessing rain and wet snow with very little actual accumulation, just like every other "storm" this year!

What a season! (or should that be ?)

Now 1-4", and they did manage to mention a potential nor'easter this weekend...at least it is something to watch...again!

From KALB:

THE MAIN QUESTION IS...IF AND WHERE NORTHERN STREAM AND SOUTHERN

STREAM ENERGY PHASE POSSIBLY ALONG THE EAST COAST DURING THE LAST

HALF OF THE WEEKEND. THE MAIN FACTORS WILL BE AN UPPER LEVEL TROF

DIVING SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES AND AN UPPER LEVEL LOW

WITH ORIGINS IN THE SOUTHWEST CONUS EMERGING ALONG THE GULF COAST

STATES AND LIFTS NORTHEASTWARD TOWARDS THE MID ATLANTIC COAST. MODEL

GUIDANCE HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME RESOLVING THE INTENSITY AND TRACK

OF BOTH NORTHERN/SOUTHERN STREAM TROFS AND HOW THEY WILL EVENTUALLY

INTERACT WITH EACH OTHER.

THE 00Z GFS HAS BECOME THE MOST AGGRESSIVE MODEL BY FAR IN TERMS OF

BRINGING SIGNIFICANT PRECIP INTO THE NORTHEAST CONUS WITH COASTAL

CYCLOGENESIS AND A VIGOROUS UPPER LOW FORMING OVER THE GREAT LAKES.

THE GGEM AND ECMWF HAVE THE COASTAL LOW SUPPRESSED MUCH FARTHER

SOUTH AND ARE MUCH WEAKER WITH THE GREAT LAKES TROF. THERE ARE A

HANDFUL OF GFS ENSEMBLE MEMBERS THAT DEPICT A NOR`EASTER AFFECTING

THE REGION SIMILAR TO THE OPERATIONAL GFS...SO WILL START TO AT

LEAST ACKNOWLEDGE THE POSSIBILITY OF A STORM AND RAISE POPS TO 30

PERCENT FOR OUR AREA.

WHETHER OR NOT THE NOR`EASTER IMPACTS THE AREA DURING THE

WEEKEND...THE EARLY NEXT WEEK PERIOD LOOKS TO BE QUIET WITH HIGH

PRESSURE IN CONTROL AND NEAR NORMAL TEMPS.
