The forecast has even improved for SoVT:
Quote:
.......SO EXPECT A
RAIN/SNOW EVENT...WITH TERRAIN BEING A SIGNIFICANT FACTOR AS TO
P-TYPE. RAIN/SNOW MIX LIKELY IN MOST LOCATIONS AT OR BELOW 1000 FEET
TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING...WITH A CHANGEOVER TO ALL RAIN LIKELY
IN THE MID HUDSON VALLEY TO LOWER ELEVATIONS OF LITCHFIELD COUNTY. A
MIX OF RAIN/SNOW ALSO POSSIBLE IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN FROM THE
CATSKILLS TO THE BERKSHIRES.
AFTER THE LOW GOES BY EARLY TUESDAY EVENING...COLDER AIR RETURNS
QUICKLY WITH ALL SNOW EXPECTED IN ALL AREAS FROM MIDNIGHT ON.
ALTHOUGH TIMING/LOCATION IS DIFFERENT...MODELS INDICATE
FRONTOGENETIC FORCING WILL PRODUCE A BAND OF MODERATE/HEAVY SNOW
SOMEWHERE ACROSS THE NORTHERN TWO THIRDS OF THE FORECSAT AREA AND
THE CATSKILLS TUESDAY NIGHT. THIS BAND WILL BE SLOW TO LIFT OUT ON
WEDNESDAY AS THE SURFACE LOW LINGERS OVER THE GULF OF MAINE...BUT
THE FORCING WILL HAVE WEAKENED BY THEN WITH MAINLY LIGHT SNOW
EXPECTED WEDNESDAY.
PROLONGED NATURE OF THIS EVENT...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR A PERIOD OF
HEAVY SNOW TUESDAY NIGHT...WARRANTS THE ISSUANCE OF A WINTER STORM
WATCH FROM TUESDAY MORNING INTO WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON FOR MOST OF THE
FORECAST AREA...EVEN IF THE SNOW DOES MIX WITH RAIN IN MANY AREAS
FOR A TIME. THE WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR ALL AREAS EXCEPT THE MID
HUDSON VALLEY AND LITCHFIELD COUNTY.
