MD 0281 CONCERNING WINTER MIXED PRECIPITATION FOR PORTIONS OF NORTHERN NY INTO VT AND NH

Mesoscale Discussion 0281
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1254 AM CDT Sat Mar 29 2025

Areas affected...portions of northern NY into VT and NH

Concerning...Winter mixed precipitation 

Valid 290554Z - 291200Z

SUMMARY...Snow and freezing rain will increase over the next few
hours hours across parts of northern New York into central/southern
Vermont and New Hampshire. Mixed wintry precipitation is expected to
persist into the early morning hours.

DISCUSSION...Light to moderate snow is occurring over far northern
NY into northern VT/NH tonight. Precipitation is expected to shift
south and east over the next few hours within a band of strong
850-700 mb frontogenesis, and as a surface front sags southward,
allowing a shallow layer of sub-freezing near-surface temperatures
to filter across the MCD area. Warm, moist advection atop the
surface front within this zone of stronger ascent will support
continued development of snow and freezing rain into the morning
hours. Freezing rain rates may approach 0.02 inches per hour, though
snowfall rates are generally expected to remain less than an inch
per hour.
