1113 PM CDT Fri Mar 22 2024

Areas affected...portions of central and eastern New York into
southern Vermont

Concerning...Heavy snow 

Valid 230413Z - 230915Z

SUMMARY...Periods of heavy snow are likely over the next several
hours. 1+ inch/hr snowfall rates and reduced visibility are possible
in the heaviest snow bands.

DISCUSSION...925-850 mb warm-air advection continues to transport
moisture into a sub-freezing troposphere amid a gradually amplifying
mid-level trough approaching from the west. A shield of widespread
moderate snow is already overspreading much of central and southern
NY, with a couple instances of heavy snow already reported via
surface observations. Increasing magnitudes and coverage of heavier
snowfall rates (i.e. 1+ inches/hr) are expected to continue through
the night as the approaching mid-level trough further amplifies and
low-level warm-air advection persists.
