URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
956 AM EST MON DEC 24 2007

...LAKE SNOWS AND BLOWING SNOW WILL CONTINUE TO GRADUALLY WIND
DOWN THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...

.STRONG SOUTHWEST WINDS FOLLOWING A DEPARTED COLD FRONT BROUGHT
SOME SIGNIFICANT LAKE SNOWS TO PORTIONS OF WESTERN AND CENTRAL NEW
YORK OVERNIGHT AND EARLY THIS MORNING. THE SNOW WAS SOMEWHAT
DISORGANIZED OVERNIGHT BUT STRENGTHENED TOWARD DAYBREAK AS A WEAK
SHORT WAVE APPROACHED. 

THE SNOWBAND OFF LAKE ERIE FOCUSED ON NIAGARA AND ORLEANS COUNTY
AT FIRST...THEN SETTLED ACROSS THE BUFFALO METRO AREA AND EAST TO
BATAVIA AND ROCHESTER EARLY THIS MORNING AND WAS WEAKENING BY LATE
MORNING AS IT SETTLED TO THE SOUTH OF THE CITIES. SNOW WILL
CONTINUE OVER MUCH OF THE AREA FROM BUFFALO TO ROCHESTER AND JUST
SOUTH FOR THE AFTERNOON BUT WILL BE MUCH LIGHTER.

SNOW ACCUMULATIONS THROUGH 10 AM WERE HIGHEST IN NIAGARA COUNTY
WHERE 4 TO 6 INCHES WAS REPORTED. 3 TO 5 INCHES FELL OVER THE
BUFFALO NORTH SUBURBS AND 2 TO 4 INCHES OVER THE IMMEDIATE BUFFALO
AREA AND JUST EAST AND SOUTH. 1 TO 3 INCHES FELL IN THE ROCHESTER
AREA.

WE CAN EXPECT NO MORE THAN ANOTHER INCH OR SO FOR BUFFALO AND
ROCHESTER THIS AFTERNOON...WITH LESSER AMOUNTS TO THE NORTH...BUT AS
MUCH AS 2 TO 4 INCHES MAY FALL ACROSS THE BUFFALO SOUTH TOWNS AND
EAST INTO WYOMING COUNTY.

BRISK WEST TO SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL CONTINUE THIS AFTERNOON SO
THERE WILL STILL BE BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW.

EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO...THE SNOWBANDS WILL BE MORE INTENSE AND NOT
WEAKEN UNTIL LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING...SO THE WARNINGS WILL BE
CONTINUED THERE...WITH OVER 6 INCHES POSSIBLE...MAINLY ON THE TUG
HILL.

...LAKE EFFECT SNOW WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 3 AM EST
TUESDAY...

A LAKE EFFECT SNOW WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 3 AM EST
TUESDAY. 

BANDS OF LAKE EFFECT SNOW HAVE DRIFTED SOUTH OF WATERTOWN INTO THE
TUG HILL REGION LATE THIS MORNING. 2 TO 4 INCHES HAS ALREADY
FALLEN AND AN ADDITIONAL 3 TO 6 INCHES CAN BE EXPECTED AS THE
BANDS OSCILLATE A BIT THIS AFTERNOON BEFORE WEAKENING THIS
EVENING. HEAVIEST ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE ACROSS THE TUG HILL
PLATEAU...WHERE UP TO A FOOT MAY FALL BEFORE THE SNOW ENDS TUESDAY
MORNING.

THE COMBINATION OF ACCUMULATING SNOW AND STRONG WINDS
WILL CREATE WHITEOUT CONDITIONS IN BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW.
TRAVEL WILL BE VERY DIFFICULT ACROSS THE REGION TODAY AND
TONIGHT...ESPECIALLY ON NORTH TO SOUTH ROADS SUCH AS INTERSTATE
81.

IN LAKE EFFECT SNOW THE WEATHER CAN VARY FROM LOCALLY HEAVY SNOW
IN NARROW BANDS TO CLEAR SKIES JUST A FEW MILES AWAY. IF YOU WILL
BE TRAVELING ACROSS THE REGION BE PREPARED FOR RAPID CHANGES IN
ROAD AND VISIBILITY CONDITIONS. STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO
AND OTHER RADIO AND TV STATIONS FOR FURTHER DETAILS OR UPDATES.

URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
239 PM EST MON DEC 24 2007

...LAKE SNOWS WILL CONTINUE TO WEAKEN...

.A STRONG WEST TO SOUTHWEST FLOW OF COLD AIR FOLLOWING THE
DEPARTURE OF A DEEP STORM BROUGHT BANDS OF LAKE EFFECT SNOW TO
THE EASTERN LAKE ONTARIO REGION TODAY. THE MOST INTENSE ACTIVITY
WAS FOCUSED ON NORTHERN JEFFERSON COUNTY AT FIRST...BUT DRIFTED
SOUTH TO SOUTHERN JEFFERSON AND NORTHERN LEWIS COUNTIES AS THE
WINDS VEERED MORE WESTERLY LATER THIS MORNING. SEVERAL INCHES OF
SNOW HAS ACCUMULATED AND STRONG WINDS HAVE RESULTED IN
EXTENSIVE BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW AND REDUCED VISIBILITIES. THE
LAKE SNOWS HAVE WEAKENED CONSIDERABLY EARLY THIS AFTERNOON HOWEVER
AS WARMER AIR BEGINS TO MOVE IN AT HIGHER LEVELS AND BEGUN TO
LOWER THE INVERSION. WE DO EXPECT LAKE SNOWS TO CONTINUE THROUGH
MUCH OF THE NIGHT BUT THEY WILL BE LIGHT FOR THE MOST PART WITH
ONLY 1 TO 4 INCHES OF ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATION. WINDS WILL BE BRISK
THIS EVENING BUT DIMINISH OVERNIGHT. SNOW SHOWERS MAY LINGER INTO
CHRISTMAS DAY BUT THEY SHOULD END BY AFTERNOON.

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN BUFFALO HAS CANCELLED THE LAKE
EFFECT SNOW WARNING. 

LAKE SNOWS HAVE WEAKENED EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...AND SHOULD REMAIN
FAIRLY LIGHT FROM HERE-ON OUT. WARMER AIR ALOFT WILL TEND TO CAP
THE ACTIVITY SO ALTHOUGH SNOW WILL CONTINUE TONIGHT AND INTO
CHRISTMAS MORNING...HE ACTIVITY SHOULD BE GENERALLY LIGHT WITH
ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATIONS GENERALLY IN THE 1 TO 3 INCH RANGE...WITH
LOCAL 4 INCH AMOUNTS POSSIBLE ON THE TUG HILL. BRISK WINDS THIS
EVENING WILL STILL CAUSE BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW...SO CONTINUE
TO EXERCISE CAUTION IF YOU WILL BE ON THE ROADS TONIGHT.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
414 AM EST MON DEC 24 2007

.SYNOPSIS...
LAKE EFFECT SNOW WILL CONTINUE NORTHEAST OF THE LAKES TODAY
BEFORE WEAKENING AND PUSHING SLOWLY TO THE SOUTH TONIGHT.
MUCH MORE TRANQUIL WEATHER IS THEN EXPECTED FOR CHRISTMAS DAY WITH
JUST A LITTLE LINGERING LIGHT LAKE EFFECT SNOW EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO.
THE UPCOMING WEEK WILL BE ONLY SLIGHTLY MILDER WITH HIGHS
APPROACHING 40 DEGREES AND CHANCES OF RAIN OR SNOW SHOWERS FROM
WEDNESDAY NIGHT ONWARD.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
A VIGOUROUS SHORT WAVE WILL CROSS THE REGION TODAY AND WILL ENHANCE
THE LAKE EFFECT SNOW TO THE NORTHEAST OF LAKES ERIE AND ONTARIO.
GUSTY WINDS WILL ACCOMPANY THE PASSAGE OF THE SHORT WAVE BUT THE
WINDS AND THE GUSTS WILL DIMINISH DURING THE AFTERNOON. MODELS ARE
IN AGREEMENT THAT THE BOUNDARY LAYER TEMPS WILL WARM FROM MORNING
VALUES IN THE -12C TO -14C RANGE TO ABOUT -8C TO -10C...AND THAT THE
DEPTH OF THE MOISTURE WILL LOWER AS WELL. CAPPING INVERSION
STRENGTHENS OVER LAKE ERIE DURING THE AFTERNOON BUT NOT UNTIL 3 TO 4
INCHES OF LAKE SNOW FALLS OVER WESTERN NY. WILL MAINTAIN THE LAKE
SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW ADVISORY FOR THE NIAGARA FRONTIER TO MONROE
COUNTY.

THE EASTERN LAKE ONTARIO REGION WILL SEE A LONGER DURATION OF COLD
BOUNDARY LAYER TEMPS AND A LONGER FETCH ACROSS LAKE ONTARIO...ENOUGH
TO WARRANT A LAKE SNOW WARNING FOR JEFFERSON/LEWIS/OSWEGO COUNTIES
AND MAINLY FOR THE TUG HILL PLATEAU. LONG FETCH WITH LITTLE SHEAR
AND OROGRAPHIC LIFT ON THE TUG HILL WILL DELIVER ABOUT 12 INCHES OF
SNOW TODAY THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THE NIGHT. THE LAKE SNOW WILL
THEN DIMINISH AFTER 08Z AS THE CAPPING INVERSION DROPS.

OTHER AREAS OUTSIDE THE INFLUENCES OF LAKE EFFECT WILL SEE PARTLY
SUNNY SKIES AND BREEZY WINDS...ALSO DIMINISHING THROUGH THE DAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
MUCH WEAKER LAKE EFFECT WILL STILL BE POSSIBLE EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO
WITH A FEW MORNING SNOW SHOWERS EAST OF LAKE ERIE...OTHERWISE A
CLEARING TREND IS EXPECTED ON CHRISTMAS DAY THROUGH THE NIGHT.
BENIGN AND A LITTLE MILDER WEATHER ON WEDNESDAY...THEN A WEAK COLD
FRONT WILL BRING THE CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS TO ALL OF THE FORECAST
AREA ON WED NIGHT. LITTLE IN THE WAY OF MOISTURE OR LIFT ALONG THIS
FRONT SO CHANCE POPS WILL BE QUITE LOW...ONLY IN THE 25 TO 35
PERCENT RANGE.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
GOING TO KEEP THIS RELATIVELY SHORT CONSIDERING THE HIGH IMPACT
SITUATION WE ARE DEALING WITH IN THE SHORT TERM. AS INDICATED IN
PREVIOUS DISCUSSIONS, THE LONGWAVE PATTERN HAS BECOME VERY TYPICAL
OF A LA NINA COLD SEASON ACROSS THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE...A SIGNAL
THAT THE ATMOSPHERE HAS FULLY COUPLED TO THE OCEANIC FORCING. THE
LONGWAVE PATTERN ACROSS NOAM WILL TRANSITION TO A TYPICAL LA NINA
BASE STATE DURING THE LONG TERM PERIOD WITH THE MEAN TROUGH
RELOADING ACROSS THE WEST AND RIDGING STRENGTHENING ACROSS THE
SOUTHEAST. THIS WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE AN ACTIVE SOUTHWEST TO
NORTHEAST STORM TRACK ACROSS THE NATION THROUGH THE LONG TERM. IN
OUR NECK OF THE WOODS IT ALSO STRONGLY SUGGESTS THAT ANY REALLY COLD
AIR IS NOT GOING TO SHOW ITS FACE AROUND HERE AT LEAST THROUGH NEXT
WEEKEND.

THE MODEL GUIDANCE IS COMING TOGETHER A BIT MORE ON THE TIMING AND
AMPLITUDE OF INDIVIDUAL SHORTWAVES MOVING OUT OF THE LONG WAVE
TROUGH IN THE WEST. NEWEST GFS ALONG WITH THE ECMWF AND VARIOUS
ENSEMBLE MEMBERS SHOW A WEAKENING SYSTEM MOVING TOWARDS THE OHIO
VALLEY AND NORTHEAST WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY. ANOTHER
SYSTEM PROGGED TO MOVE THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES REGION LATE IN THE
WEEKEND WITH SOME DIFFERENCES IN TIMING. ONCE AGAIN, THE BIG NEWS IS
THAT THERE IS NO SIGNIFICANTLY COLD AIR IN STORE FOR US IN THE NEXT
WEEK OR SO.

&&

.AVIATION /09Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
STRONG WINDS FROM THE SOUTHWEST WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT AND
MONDAY. AS COLD AIR DEEPENS...LAKE EFFECT SNOW BANDS WILL PERSIST
NORTHEAST OF LAKES ERIE AND ONTARIO. CONDITIONS WILL VARY BETWEEN
VFR OUTSIDE LAKE EFFECT AREAS AND LIFR IN LAKE EFFECT SQUALLS AND
BLOWING SNOW. THE LAKE EFFECT SQUALLS ARE EXPECTED TO DRIFT SLOW
SOUTH MONDAY AND DISSIPATE MONDAY NIGHT.

LOOKING FURTHER AHEAD...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS THE AREA
TUESDAY. IMPROVEMENT TO VFR AT ALL SITES IS EXPECTED TUESDAY
THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT. A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS EXPECTED TO
CROSS THE AREA THURSDAY...BRINGING THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME
RESTRICTIONS TO CIG AND VSBY IN SNOW SHOWERS. NO SIGNIFICANT
WEATHER IS EXPECTED AT THIS POINT FOR THURSDAY NIGHT BUT ANOTHER
SYSTEM COULD BRING PRECIPITATION AND REDUCE PREVAILING CONDITIONS
TO THE AREA ON FRIDAY. TIMING ON THESE FEATURES HOWEVER IS SUBJECT
TO CHANGE.

&&

.MARINE...
MAIN CONCERN ACROSS THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES IS GALE AND STORM FORCE
WINDS TONIGHT. WINDS IN THE WAKE OF THE STRONG COLD FRONT WILL
STRENGTHEN OVERNIGHT AND WE WILL KEEP STORM WARNINGS FOR ERIE AND
GALES FOR ONTARIO.

MODEL GUIDANCE SHOWS THESE STRONG WINDS CONTINUING THROUGH ALL OF
MONDAY AND INTO MONDAY NIGHT AS THE INSTABILITY OVER THE WARM LAKES
ENSURES EXCELLENT MIXING OF THE STRONGER WINDS ALOFT DOWN TO THE
SURFACE.  SEE NO NEED TO CHANGE THE TIME TAGS ON THE WARNINGS AT
THIS POINT.

BY TUESDAY THE MAIN LOW WILL MOVE OFF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST AND
LOOSEN ITS GRIP OVER THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES. WARNINGS WILL BE
DROPPED BY THEN.

THE REST OF THE WEEK LOOKS RELATIVELY QUIET.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
THE LAKESHORE FLOOD WARNING HAS BEEN CANCELLED. THE PEAK LAKE
LEVEL WAS 6.5 FEET JUST BEFORE 6 PM. FLOOD STAGE IS 8 FEET. STRONG
SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL CAUSE THE LAKE LEVEL TO FALL AND RISE A
COUPLE MORE TIMES OVERNIGHT BUT IT WILL NOT GO AS HIGH AS THE
INITIAL SURGE. HOWEVER WITH THE LAKE LEVEL HIGHER THAN RECENT DAYS
WE STILL EXPECT BEACH EROSION FROM 14 TO 18 FEET WAVES.

&&
