Rapid visibility reductions in bursts of heavy snow are possible. DISCUSSION...Latest mosaic radar imagery shows a well-organized snow squall moving east-southeastward at around 30-40 kt across parts of central NY. This band is generally focused along the leading edge of a southeastward-advancing arctic cold front, which is expected to continue overspreading parts of the Northeast during the next few hours. Regional VWP data depicts 50 kt of west-southwesterly flow in the lowest 3 km, which combined with strong/focused forcing for ascent and pockets of conditionally unstable boundary-layer conditions preceding the snow squall, should support its maintenance with eastward extent. The primary limiting factor continues to be somewhat dry low-level conditions, though it appears that the aforementioned factors are generally compensating for this. Therefore, the potential for rapid visibility reductions in bursts of heavy snow should continue spreading east-southeastward across the Northeast during the next few hours before a gradual decrease in intensity/organization. ...Weinman.. 02/03/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!69IUSuLeyO8wYAoxXy6rcQRfwqAhxtWojCfWn1wXtpqhwMz0fk_qwgbwcOeVDQqhytUfNJChj= QXrdjlO7FxI8MNKnhQ$ for graphic product...
