AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
343 AM EDT FRI MAR 16 2007

.SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...

DIFFICULT FORECAST THIS PERIOD WITH THE AREA ON THE WESTERN SIDE OF
DEVELOPING COASTAL STORM. NAM AND GFS EVOLUTION OF COASTAL STORM
SIMILAR WITH THE GFS A LITTLE FASTER AND EAST WHEN COMPARED TO THE
NAM. AS EXPECTED WITH THE SLOWER MODEL SOLUTION THE NAM QPF AND
THEREFORE SNOWFALL TOTALS A LITTLE HEAVIER THAN QPF/SNOWFALL OUTPUT
OF GFS. HAVE GENERALLY FOLLOWED HPC GUIDANCE WHICH SUGGESTS A BLEND
OF GFS AND NAM SNOWFALL AMOUNTS GIVING THE POTENTIAL FOR A SWATH OF
4-8 INCH SNOWFALL ACROSS THE AREA TODAY AND TONIGHT. INITIALLY LOW
LEVEL DRY AIR ADVECTING INTO THE AREA FROM THE NORTHEAST WILL LIMIT
SNOWFALL...THEREFORE EXPECTED BULK OF THE SNOW TO FALL DURING THE
AFTERNOON HOURS.

AS THE LOW LIFTS INTO THE NEW ENGLAND STATES ON SATURDAY WRAP AROUND
MOISTURE WILL WORK ACROSS THE AREA WITH ADDITIONAL SNOWFALL
AMOUNTS...GENERALLY IN THE 1-3 INCH RANGE. CONCERNED ABOUT THE
POTENTIAL FOR LANE ENHANCED/LAKE EFFECT SNOWS ESPECIALLY SOUTH OF
LAKE ONTARIO IN THE LATE SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT TIME FRAME WITH
850 MB TEMPERATURES DROPPING DOWN TO AROUND -14C. ROCHESTER AND
SYRACUSE BUFKIT PROFILES SUGGESTING GOOD AREA OF CRYSTAL GROWTH AND
OMEGA DEVELOPING IN A WELL ALIGNED NORTHWEST FLOW THEREFORE COULD
EASILY SEE ENHANCED SNOWFALL AMOUNTS ACROSS THE SOUTH SHORE COUNTIES
POSSIBLY EXTENDING INTO THE FINGER LAKES. THOUGH LAKE ERIE REMAINS
MOSTLY ICE COVERED...SNOWFALL AMOUNTS COULD BE ENHANCED BY UPSLOPE
COMPONENT.

BASED ON FORECASTED SNOWFALL AMOUNTS WILL ISSUE A SNOW ADVISORY FOR
NIAGARA...ORLEANS...NORTHERN ERIE AND GENESEE COUNTIES STARTING LATE
THIS AFTERNOON. WILL MAINTAIN ADVISORY FOR THE SOUTHERN TIER.
HAVE DECIDED TO UPGRADE ADVISORY TO A HEAVY SNOW WARNING FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THE AREA INCLUDING THE ROCHESTER AREA WITH THE
POTENTIAL FOR 6-12 INCHES. ALL HEADLINES ARE IN EFFECT THROUGH
SATURDAY NIGHT.

SNOWS WILL WIND DOWN SUNDAY AS LOW PULLS AWAY AND HIGH PRESSURE AND
DRIER AIR BUILD DOWN ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...

HIGH PRESSURE AND COLDER AIR WILL GIVE A CHANCE OF SOME LAKE EFFECT
SNOW SHOWERS TO THE SOUTHEAST OF LAKE ONTARIO SUNDAY NIGHT...THEN
TEMPERATURES WILL MODERATE OVERNIGHT AHEAD OF THE NEXT LOW AND
FRONTAL COMPLEX. THE LOW WILL SPREAD RAIN AND POSSIBLY SOME SNOW
OVER THE AREA MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT. COLDER AIR BEHIND THE LOW
WILL BRING A CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS TUESDAY. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE
WILL BRING FAIR WEATHER AND MODERATING TEMPERATURES LATE TUESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY. A WARM FRONT AHEAD OF A LOW OVER THE PLAINS WILL BRING A
CHANCE OF RAIN THURSDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z-06Z/...

SURFACE HIGH BUILDING THROUGH SE CANADA EARLY THIS MORNING ALLOWING
MUCH DRIER LOW/MID LEVEL AIR TO ADVECT IN ON NE FLOW. MEANWHILE A
BROAD AREA OF UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE WITHIN RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF
A 130+KT UPPER LEVEL JET CONTINUES TO PRODUCE A LARGE SWATH OF HIGH
CLOUDS ACROSS THE TERMINALS. VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL UNTIL MID
OR LATE AFTERNOON THEN ATTENTION TURNS TO TIMING OF ONSET OF SNOW
AND LOWER VSBY/CIGS IN ASSOCIATION WITH DEVELOPING COASTAL LOW. HAVE
FAVORED AN ONSET TIME A COUPLE HOURS LATER THAN 00Z MODEL GUIDANCE
DUE TO EXTENSIVE LOW/MID LEVEL DRY WEDGE AND EXPECTATION OF INITIAL
VIRGA. LOW LEVELS SHOULD SATURATE SUFFICIENTLY BY LATE AFTERNOON TO
ALLOW SNOW TO BEGIN...WITH CONDITIONS DETERIORATING TO IFR AT ALL
THE TERMINALS EARLY THIS EVENING.

&&

.MARINE...

NORTHEAST WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE TODAY AND TONIGHT THEN
SLOWLY SHIFT TO THE NORTH ON SAT THEN NORTHWEST FOR SAT NGT AND SUN.
WINDS AND WAVES WILL REACH SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CRITERIA EARLY THIS
MORNING AND CONTINUE THROUGH SUNDAY. SOME POTENTIAL FOR A PERIOD OF
LOW END GALES ON SUNDAY IN NW FLOW BEHIND DEPARTING COASTAL LOW WHEN
SURFACE GRADIENT AND LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES BECOME MAXIMIZED. FOR NOW
WILL HOLD WINDS AT 30 KNOTS AND ALLOW LATER SHIFTS TO REFINE BASED
ON LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...

FLOODING CONTINUES ON SOME CREEKS AND RIVERS ACROSS WESTERN NEW
YORK. FOR THE BUFFALO AREA CREEKS...ALL HAVE RECEDED BELOW FLOOD
STAGE EXCEPT FOR THE TYPICALLY SLOWER TONAWANDA CREEK. THE CREEK HAS
CRESTED AT BATAVIA JUST BELOW MAJOR FLOOD CATEGORY AND SHOULD RECEDE
BELOW FLOOD STAGE BY THIS EVENING. DOWNSTREAM AT RAPIDS THE LEVEL IS
STILL RISING AND IS EXPECTED TO CREST LATE TONIGHT VERY NEAR THE
MAJOR FLOOD CATEGORY. A FLOOD OF THIS MAGNITUDE WILL PRODUCE
WIDESPREAD FLOODING IN THE NORTHERN SECTIONS OF AMHERST...
CLARENCE...NEWSTEAD...AND ROYALTON SPREADING UPSTREAM INTO THE
ALABAMA SWAMP. THE CREEK WILL REMAIN ABOVE FLOOD STAGE THROUGH MUCH
OF THE UPCOMING WEEKEND AT RAPIDS DUE TO ITS TYPICALLY SLOW RESPONSE.

ELSEWHERE...OATKA AND BLACK CREEKS HAVE CRESTED BUT WILL REMAIN
ABOVE FLOOD STAGE FOR ANOTHER DAY OR SO. THE ALLEGHENY RIVER AT
OLEAN IS STILL RISING...BUT SHOULD CREST SHORTLY AT ABOUT 13.2 FEET
AND THEN RECEDE BELOW FLOOD STAGE BY SATURDAY MORNING. THE RIVER HAS
CRESTED AT SALAMANCA AND IS EXPECTED TO FALL BELOW FLOOD STAGE THIS
EVENING.

CHECK FLOOD STATEMENTS FOR DETAILS.
