AREAS AFFECTED...ERN NY

CONCERNING...HEAVY SNOW

VALID 090051Z - 090345Z

SUMMARY...SNOWFALL RATES OF AT LEAST 1" PER HOUR WILL OCCUR IN A N-S
BAND ACROSS ERN NY W OF THE HUDSON RIVER VALLEY OVER PARTS OF THE
ADIRONDACKS AND CATSKILLS OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS.

DISCUSSION...AN UPPER TROUGH CROSSING THE LOWER GREAT LAKES REGION
CONTINUES IMPINGING ON -- AND WILL EVENTUALLY MERGE WITH -- THE
LARGER LOW SE OF LONG ISLAND. AS THIS OCCURS...TWO
ASSOCIATED/FORMERLY DISTINCT AREAS OF SNOW CONTINUE TO MERGE INTO
ONE LARGER PRECIPITATION SHIELD. LATEST RADAR IMAGERY SHOWS AN
EMBEDDED HEAVIER BAND OF SNOW ORGANIZING OVER PARTS OF THE
ADIRONDACK AND CATSKILL MOUNTAINS...JUST W OF THE HUDSON VALLEY --
WITH THE MOST INTENSE SNOWFALL INDICATED JUST W AND NW OF ALBANY.
WITH LARGE-SCALE ASCENT CONCENTRATED ACROSS THIS ZONE...HEAVY SNOW
CAN BE EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS -- SOMEWHAT SEPARATE FROM
THE HEAVY SNOW BAND WHICH CONTINUES TO EVOLVE OVER SRN NEW ENGLAND.
