DISCUSSION
..GUSTY WINDS THROUGH THIS EVENING
MOST AREAS HAVE LOST THEIR SNOW PACK, ALTHOUGH PARTS OF THE
WESTERN AND CENTRAL ADIRONDACKS AND THE HIGHEST PEAKS OF THE
SOUTHERN GREENS CONTINUE TO HAVE SOME SNOW ON THE GROUND. MUCH OF
THE REGION SAW A WIDESPREAD WETTING RAINFALL ON THURSDAY, MARCH
26TH.
AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH IS MOVING ACROSS THE NORTHEAST FOR THIS
AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING. THE COOL TEMPS ALOFT ARE PROMOTING
GOOD MIXING, WHICH IS RESULTING GUSTY SURFACE WINDS. NORTHWEST
WINDS WILL BE 10 TO 20 MPH THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS, WITH SOME
GUSTS AS HIGH AS 20 TO 30 MPH. THESE WINDS WILL DIMINISH FOR THIS
EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. A FEW PASSING SNOW SHOWERS OR
FLURRIES ARE POSSIBLE, BUT LITTLE TO NO SNOW ACCUMULATION IS
EXPECTED. WITH DRY AIR IN PLACE AT LOW LEVELS, RH VALUES WILL BE
AS LOW AS 30 TO 50 PERCENT THIS AFTERNOON.
ON SUNDAY, HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE LOCATED SOUTHEAST OF THE REGION.
THERE WILL BE ENOUGH OF A PRESSURE GRADIENT FOR SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST
WINDS TO GUSTS UP TO 20 MPH AT TIMES. NO PRECIP IS EXPECTED ON
SUNDAY. IT WILL REMAIN RATHER DRY, WITH RH VALUES AS LOW AS 30 TO
35 PERCENT IN VALLEY AREAS DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS.
ANOTHER DRY DAY IS EXPECTED ON MONDAY, BUT THERE WILL BE
INCREASING MOISTURE AHEAD OF THE NEXT STORM SYSTEM. RH VALUES WILL
GENERALLY BE ABOVE 50 PERCENT, ALTHOUGH SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS
WILL BE GUSTING UP TO 25 MPH AT TIMES. THERE WILL BE A CHANCE FOR
A WIDESPREAD WETTING RAINFALL FOR MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
