    Mesoscale Discussion 1651
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0906 PM CST Thu Nov 15 2018

    Areas affected...Northern Pennsylvania...New York and much of the
    New England states

    Concerning...Heavy snow

    Valid 160306Z - 160900Z

    SUMMARY...Corridor of moderate to heavy snow with rates locally in
    excess of 1 inch per hour will continue developing northward through
    much of New York State into Vermont, New Hampshire and southern and
    central Maine through early morning. The snow will change over to a
    period of occasional freezing rain and drizzle from northeast
    Pennsylvania into a portion of southeast New York and southern New
    England with all rain across far southern New England.

    DISCUSSION...As of mid evening the corridor of moderate to heavy
    snow extends from the southern half of NY state eastward into a
    portion of southern and central New England. This activity is
    associated with a band of ascent within a deformation zone north and
    east of a progressive shortwave trough currently moving through the
    OH Valley. A surface low has deepened off the DelMarVa coast. As
    this feature continues northward, the zone of strongest
    frontogenetic forcing within the 800-700 mb layer will develop into
    eastern NY and much of the remainder of New England, contributing to
    increasing ascent within the dendritic growth zone. Moreover,
    mid-level lapse rates will gradually steepen from the south, and
    might eventually extend far enough northward for some convective
    enhancement to the snowfall rates. Farther south, WV imagery shows a
    mid-level dry-slot spreading eastward through PA and will eventually
    affect southern New England. The drying will extend low enough into
    the favored snow growth zone for precipitation type to change over
    to freezing drizzle with occasional heavier convective showers.
    Moreover, a substantial warm layer aloft will also evolve from the
    south as the surface low and southerly low level jet continues
    northward.
