Administrators NorthGeorgiaWX Posted January 7 Administrators Share Posted January 7 MD 0008 CONCERNING HEAVY SNOW FOR CENTRAL/EASTERN PA...SOUTHERN NY...NORTHERN NJ Mesoscale Discussion 0008 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0327 PM CST Sat Jan 06 2024 Areas affected...Central/Eastern PA...Southern NY...Northern NJ Concerning...Heavy snow Valid 062127Z - 070230Z SUMMARY...Snowfall rates around 1"/hr appear probable across this region, with some potential for 2"/hr rates, DISCUSSION...A shortwave trough continues to progress quickly northeastward across WV and VA. A broad precipitation field covers much of the northern Mid-Atlantic states as well as NY, supported by moderate to strong low-level warm advection ahead of the wave. Occasionally heavy snow has been noted across the region over the past few hours, particularly across western and southern PA, where the low-level warm advection/frontogenesis is being augmented by large-scale forcing for ascent near the shortwave trough. This general trend is expected to continue over the next several hours, with heavy snow shifting from western/central PA into western/southern NY. Snowfall rates around 1"/hr appear probable across this region, with some potential for 2"/hr rates, particularly just north of the leading edge of the mid-level dry air. ..Mosier.. 01/06/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
