Alberta Clipper To Bring Widepsread Light Snow Accumulations To Much Of The Region; Upslope Snows, And Wind Chill Concerns Follow; Storm Next Week?...
JRWeather has posted a Winter Weather Advisory, Wind Chill Advisory, and Wind Advisory for portions of the region. The Winter weather advisory is for the Western Slopes of the Green mountains for up to 3-6 inches of snow, by late Sunday night, early Monday morning. A Wind Chill advisory, for all but the St. Lawrence, and Champlain Valleys for wind chills in the 10 - 20 below zero range for Sunday Night, and a Wind advisory for All of Vermont, and Northern New York for isolated wind gusts up to 45-50MPH for Sunday afternoon, and Sunday Night.Currently The National Weather Service has no official alerts in effect as of yet, but there is talk of them issuing a wind chill advisory for portions of the area for tomorrow.
So tonight snow will start across Northern New York between 7PM and Midnight, and Start across Vermont between Midnight, and 3AM. Snow will have a difficult time to make it to the ground for the onset, because the atmosphere is very dry, and it will likely evaporate before making it to the ground. Total snow accumulations from this clipper system will be a widespread 1-3 inches, and with a Northwest flow kicking in behind the clipper system, this will cause upslope snow enhancement over the Northern Green Mountains, producing 3-6 inches of snow with locally higher amounts. As stated above as the winds increase from the Northwest behind the clipper it will bring some strong winds, and much colder temperatures, wind will be in the 10-25 MPH range with gusts 45 - 50 MPH, especially across the higher terrain. These winds combined with falling temperatures will help produce, wind chill values in the 10 to 20 below zero range for all but the St. Lawrence, and Champlain Valleys, where wind chill values will be 0 to 10 below zero for Sunday Night. So that's it for the short term, now to move on to next week. Updated maps are below...
Now for the potential storm next week, models have seem to come into some type of agreement, and its not one conducive for much snow for our region. It looks like the storm is going to take the famous track that has occurred so far this season, and quite a bit last winter, and that being west of the Appalachian mountains. The storm is not being forecasted to be quite a strong as it was a couple days ago, and with the new model data coming in, and being in some "BETTER" agreement, it looks like we will see another one of those Wintry mix to rain storms, then cold filters in behind it. So right now, I refuse to make any calls on this storm. All I will say is it will likely affect the region in the Tuesday - Thursday time frame, with a wintry mix. Further details will come later as future model runs will hopefully iron things out better, which right now is doubtful at best. Stay tuned...
