Abstract: The mesoscale variation of the empirical probability of snow on a winter precipitation day in the New York urban-suburban metropolitan area is determined from first-order and cooperative weather station records, and clearly reveals the effect of the urban “heat island” on snowfall. Conditional empirical probabilities are also determined as functions of the precipitation type and daily maximum temperature at Central Park. Mesoclimatology is shown to be of potential value for the translation of large-scale weather predictions into low forecasts.
