    Mesoscale Discussion 2240

    Areas affected...the Catskills and Poconos vicinity of northeastern Pennsylvania and southeastern New York

    Concerning...Heavy snow=20

    Valid 220423Z - 220830Z

    SUMMARY...Snowfall rates of an inch per hour are expected locally
    across parts of southeastern New York and northeastern Pennsylvania, specifically over the higher terrain in the Catskills and Poconos
    vicinity.

    DISCUSSION...As an upper low centered over southwestern Pennsylvania
    moves slowly east-southeastward, a surface low currently analyzed
    over the eastern Long Island vicinity will continue to retrograde
    northwestward across southern New England and eventually into
    southeastern New York. Strong low-level warm advection north of the
    low is resulting in widespread moderate to heavy precipitation --
    mostly in the form of rain -- across southern New England and into
    eastern New York, northeastern Pennsylvania, and northern New
    Jersey. However, temperatures near or slightly below freezing are
    indicated across the higher terrain areas including the Poconos and
    Catskills, where moderate to locally heavy snow is occurring
    (moderate snow is now being reported at the BGM obs site).

    Given the rather slow movement of the upper system, QG ascent across
    the discussion area should remain strong over the next 3 to 6 hours.
    As such, expect locally heavy snow -- at rates near an inch per
    hour -- to persist through midnight and into early Friday morning.
