Winter Weather Advisory 4, NWS Buffalo, NY

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
1030 AM EST TUE JAN 24 2006

.UPDATE...

HAVE ADJUSTED TIMING OF THE ONSET OF PRECIP THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY
EVENING BASED ON UPSTREAM PRECIP OVER LOWER MICHIGAN. STILL EXPECT
SOME LIGHT RAIN CHANGING OVER QUICKLY TO SNOW THEN STEADIER SNOW
LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. THERE MAY WELL BE A BREAK
BETWEEN THE INITIAL SHOT OF PRECIP AND ADDITIONAL SNOW LATER TONIGHT
BUT DIDNT DIFFERENTIATE IN THE GRIDS OR WORDED FORECAST. THERE WILL
BE SIGNIFICANT WINDS WITH THE SNOW EAST OF LAKES ERIE AND ONTARIO
WITH MARGINAL LAKE EFFECT. WILL HOLD OFF ON ISSUING LAKE SNOW OR
WINTER STORM WARNING/ADVISORY FOR THE LAKE ERIE ZONES BUT WILL HAVE
A DECISION BY EARLY AFTERNOON.

.SHORT TERM (TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY)...

POTENT SHORT WAVE TROUGH OVER THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES THIS MORNING
WILL DROP SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE LOWER GREAT LAKES TONIGHT. ASSOCIATED
SURFACE LOW WILL CROSS THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES...REACHING SOUTHERN
ONTARIO THIS EVENING. WARM AIR ADVECTION/ISENTROPIC LIFT ACROSS THE
AREA TODAY LOOKS WEAK BASED ON 850MB-500MB Q-VECTOR CONVERGENCE AND
THETA-E FIELDS AND SHOULD ONLY RESULT IN INCREASING CLOUDS. BETTER
CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION LOOK TO BE LATER THIS AFTERNOON...PROBABLY
AFTER 20Z WITH SHARP COLD FRONT AND ASSOCIATED FORCING. NEARLY ALL
SREF ENSEMBLE MEMBERS SUGGESTING PRECIPITATION WILL BREAK OUT ACROSS
THE AREA FROM WEST TO EAST DURING THE 21Z TO 00Z TIME FRAME (MAYBE
HOLDING OFF UNTIL AFTER 00Z EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO). THERMAL PROFILES
OFF MODEL SOUNDINGS SUGGESTING PRECIPITATION INITIALLY WILL BE IN
THE FORM OF RAIN WITH A RATHER QUICK CHANGE OVER TO SNOW DUE TO
EVAPORATIONAL AND DYNAMIC COOLING. ANY SNOW ACCUMULATION...IF AT ALL
SHOULD BE LIMITED TO THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE WESTERN SOUTHERN
TIER (PROBABLY LESS THAN AN INCH AT BEST).

PRESSURE GRADIENT AHEAD OF SURFACE LOW TIGHTENING ACROSS THE AREA
TODAY. MOMENTUM TRANSFER SCHEME OFF BUFKIT PROFILES SUGGESTING WIND
GUSTS APPROACHING 40-45 MPH ACROSS THE AREA. THEREFORE...WILL KEEP
WINDS JUST UNDER ADVISORY CRITERIA AS THERE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE AN
IMPRESSIVE ISALLOBARIC COMPONENT WHICH WILL LIMIT THE DEPTH OF
MIXING TO MAINLY THE BOUNDARY LAYER.

MUCH COLDER AIR WILL SURGE INTO THE AREA BEHIND THE COLD FRONT
TONIGHT. THIS SHOULD CHANGE ANY REMAIN MIXED OR LIQUID PRECIPITATION
OVER TO ALL SNOW WELL BEFORE 06Z. 850 MB TEMPERATURES NOT QUITE COLD
ENOUGH (AROUND -8C) TO GENERATE SIGNIFICANT LAKE SNOWS. HOWEVER...
STEEPENING LAPSE RATES IN A VERY MOIST ENVIRONMENT COMBINED WITH A
WELL DEFINED UPSLOPE COMPONENT EAST OF LAKE ERIE SHOULD RESULT IN
THE POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT SNOWS OVER HIGHER ELEVATIONS. ETA12
SUGGESTING POTENTIAL FOR 6+ INCHES OF SNOW OVERNIGHT TONIGHT...WITH
AN ADDITIONAL POTENTIAL FOR 6+ INCHES WEDNESDAY. MODEL MAY BE
OVERDOING STRENGTH OF THE OMEGA FIELDS IN THIS AREA AND THEREFORE
OVERFORECASTING SNOW AMOUNTS...BUT WITH SUCH A FAVORABLE UPSLOPE
COMPONENT IN PLACE WILL SUGGEST WARNING CRITERIA AMOUNTS IN THE
FORECAST AND ISSUE A WINTER STORM WATCH FOR THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS
SOUTH OF BUFFALO TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. SINCE EVENT IS NOT PURE LAKE
EFFECT AND MORE OF A HYBRID SYNOPTIC/UPSLOPE EVENT WITH THE
ADDITIONAL FEATURE OF STRONG WINDS HAVE OPTED FOR A WINTER STORM
WATCH INSTEAD OF A LAKE SNOW WATCH.

ETA12 SUGGESTING EVEN GREATER SNOWFALL AMOUNTS EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO
OVER THE TUG HILL REGION. 850 MB TEMPERATURES A DEGREE OR TWO COLDER
IN THIS AREA...HOWEVER UPSLOPE COMPONENT WHILE WELL DEFINED FOR A
PERIOD TRANSITIONS TO A MORE NORTHWEST FLOW REGIME AND THIS COULD
LIMIT AMOUNTS OVER THE TUG HILL. WOULD NOT RULE OUT WARNING CRITERIA
SNOWFALL AMOUNTS...BUT FEEL WITH FLOW NOT PERSISTING AS LONG OVER
THE TUG HILL WILL KEEP AMOUNTS JUST UNDER WARNING CRITERIA FOR NOW
AND ISSUE A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. IF
FLOW CAN REMAIN WESTERLY FOR A LITTLE LONGER THAN BUFKIT PROFILES
SUGGEST...THE ADVISORY MAY NEED TO BE UPGRADED TO A WARNING BY LATER
SHIFTS.

LAKE ENHANCED/UPSLOPE SNOWS WILL CONTINUE INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT...
ESPECIALLY SOUTH OF LAKE ONTARIO BUT SHOULD BE LESS ORGANIZED. HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDING INTO THE AREA THURSDAY WILL BRING ANY LINGERING
SNOWS TO AN END AND BRING MILDER CONDITIONS BACK TO THE AREA.

&&

.LONG TERM (FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY)...

WE REBOUND INTO A MILD PATTERN ONCE AGAIN DURING THIS PERIOD AS
RIDGE BUILDS ACROSS MIDWEST AND OHIO VALLEY. GFS A BIT SLOWER WITH
PULLING OUT EASTERN CANADA TROUGH DUE TO BLOCKING OVER
MARITIMES...AND THIS COULD DELAY THE WARMING SOME...BUT MODEL
CONSENSUS PER HPC GRAPHICS SHOW A SOUTHERLY FLOW OF MILDER AIR
BECOMING ESTABLISHED OVER THE EASTERN LAKES REGION ON FRIDAY AND
CONTINUING INTO SUNDAY. NEXT LOW APPROACHES FROM THE PLAINS ON
SUNDAY...PASSING OVER US ON MONDAY. THIS WOULD PROVIDE US WITH RAIN
SHOWERS SUNDAY INTO MONDAY...PERHAPS ENDING AS SNOW SHOWERS. WILL
LEAVE FRI AND SAT DRY FOR NOW...CHANCE POPS SUN AND MON.
TEMPERATURES WELL ABOVE NORMAL...IN 40 RANGE.

LOOKING FURTHER OUT...THE OVERALL TREND OF ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES
IS EXPECTED TO PERSIST THROUGH THE FIRST WEEK OR SO OF FEBRUARY.
BETWEEN THANKSGIVING AND CHRISTMAS...THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE FLOW
FEATURED A STRONG BLOCK OVER SIBERIA WITH A HIGH AMPLITUDE +PNA
PATTERN OVER NORTH AMERICA. THIS ALLOWED FOR VERY COLD WEATHER AND
EARLY SEASON SNOWS. SINCE THAT TIME...A BLOCKING RIDGE HAS BEEN
CENTERED OVER EASTERN EUROPE WHILE HGTS HAVE AVERAGED 100M BELOW
NORMAL OVER THE GULF OF ALASKA. THIS SET UP A STRONG PACIFIC FLOW
THAT HAS PERSISTED TO THIS DAY. AS A DIRECT RESULT THE H8 TEMPS HAVE
AVERAGED 4-8 DEG C ABOVE NORMAL. QUITE IMPRESSIVE FOR A FOUR WEEK
PERIOD

IN ANY CASE THE GENERAL PACIFIC FLOW SHOULD CONTINUE FOR AT LEAST A
COUPLE MORE WEEKS...ALTHOUGH AN INCREASINGLY -NAO PATTERN SHOULD
TEMPER THE SEVERITY OF THE MILD WEATHER. INSTEAD OF HAVING SFC TEMPS
AVERAGING 15 TO 30 DEG ABOVE NORMAL...THEY WILL PROBABLY ONLY
AVERAGE ABOUT HALF OF THAT OVER THE PERIOD.

THE ABOVE NORMAL TEMP TREND IS SUPPORTED BY THE LATEST 6 TO 10 AND 8
TO 14 DAY OUTLOOKS.

&&

.AVIATION...

WHILE VFR CONDITIONS WILL BE FOUND ACROSS ALL OF WESTERN AND NORTH
CENTRAL NEW YORK AT MIDDAY...WINDS WILL BE ON THE INCREASE.
IN FACT...A SOUTHERLY 45 KT JET AT 3K WILL PRODUCE MARGINAL LOW
LEVEL WIND SHEAR CONDITIONS BETWEEN 15 AND 21Z. THE WINDS ARE
EXPECTED TO LARGELY MIX TO THE SFC THOUGH...SO DO NOT EXPECT
WIDESPREAD WIND SHEAR PROBLEMS TO DEVELOP.

SFC WINDS WILL THUS GUST TO BETWEEN 30 AND 40 KNOTS THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING FOR SITES LIKE BUF/IAG...WITH GUSTS CLOSER TO THE LOWER
END OF THAT RANGE FOR ROC/ART/JHW.

CIGS WILL LOWER TO MVFR LEVELS OVER THE WESTERN COUNTIES DURING THE
COURSE OF THE AFTERNOON...THEN WILL DO THE SAME FOR THE FINGER LAKES
AND EASTERN LAKE ONTARIO REGIONS TOWARDS EVENING. PCPN WILL LOWER
VSBYS TO MVFR LEVELS AS WELL LATE IN THE DAY...WITH IFR CIGS/VSBYS
SETTING IN ACROSS ALL OF THE REGION AS THE FIRST HALF OF TONIGHT
PROGRESSES. IFR CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL FOR THE BULK OF TONIGHT.

&&

.MARINE...

A GALE WARNING WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR LAKE ONTARIO FROM THIS
AFTERNOON THROUGH WEDNESDAY...ALTHOUGH AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THE
TRACK OF THE CLIPPER WILL PREVENT THE STRONGEST WINDS FROM OCCURRING
UNTIL LATER TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY WHEN THE LOW HEADS ACROSS NEW
ENGLAND AND OUT TO SEA. WHILE A SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST 35 KT JET IS
BEING FORECAST TODAY AT 3K...BUFKIT HOURLY PROFILES ARE SUGGESTING
THAT MOMENTUM TRANSFER SPEEDS OF ONLY 30 KNOTS OR SO. THIS FLOW IS
ALSO NOT CONDUCIVE FOR GALES GIVEN THE ORIENTATION OF THE LAKE.

HAVE DISCUSSED THIS WITH YYZ...AND WILL KEEP GALES IN PLACE TO
RESPECT CONTINUITY FROM BOTH OFFICES. THE HIGHEST WINDS THOUGH
SHOULD TAKE PLACE ON WEDNESDAY WHEN DEEP COLD ADVECTION WILL BE
ACCOMPANIED BY WELL ALIGNED WINDS FROM THE SFC THROUGH 10K.
