    Mesoscale Discussion 0223
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0429 AM CDT Fri Mar 22 2019

    Areas affected...Parts of the Catskills and Capital District of New
    York into the mountains of southern/eastern Vermont...northern New
    Hampshire and northwestern Maine

    Concerning...Heavy snow

    Valid 220929Z - 221330Z

    SUMMARY...A narrow band of heavy snow, including rates of 1-2+
    inches per hour, is expected to continue to develop across the
    region and persist through the 10 am to Noon EDT time frame.

    DISCUSSION...A fairly deep, occluded surface cyclone has migrated
    off the New Jersey coast, and is forecast to continue
    eastward/northeastward, to the south of Long Island, through
    daybreak, before a secondary low begins to form across the Cape Cod
    vicinity by late morning.
    As this occurs, models indicate the continued evolution of a
    lower/mid tropospheric deformation zone across the Catskills and
    Capital District of New York, into the mountains of northern New
    Hampshire and northwestern Maine, through the 14-16Z time frame.

    Associated frontogenetic forcing is forecast to support
    strengthening lift in the mixed-phase layer favorable for large
    dendritic ice crystal growth. This may already be underway in a
    corridor from the Catskills into the Green Mountains. Although
    low-level thermodynamic profiles across this region still appear
    mostly above freezing, diabatic cooling, perhaps coupled with weak
    low-level cold advection as near-surface winds turn to northerly,
    probably will support a transition to heavy snow by daybreak.

    In the presence of fairly moist conditions (precipitable water .5 to
    .6+ inches), the Rapid Refresh, among other model output, indicates
    heavy snow rates of 1-2+ inches per hour are possible, and may
    persist for at least a 3-4 hour period at any one location, while
    developing northeastward into the mountains of northwestern Maine by
    late morning.
