AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
404 AM EST THU DEC 4 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A SHARP COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION THIS MORNING WITH RAIN
SHOWERS AHEAD OF IT AND SNOW SHOWERS IN ITS WAKE. MIDWINTER COLD
WILL FOLLOW THE FRONT WITH ASSOCIATED LAKE EFFECT SNOWS FROM TONIGHT
INTO EARLY SATURDAY. LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE IN FROM THE UPPER LAKES
BY SUNDAY WITH A MORE GENERAL LIGHT SNOWFALL LIKELY SATURDAY NIGHT
AND SUNDAY...THEN HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRING A BRIEF PERIOD OF FAIR
WEATHER MONDAY BEFORE ANOTHER LOW APPROACHES TUESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
THE LATEST SURFACE MAP SHOWS THE COLD FRONT EXTENDING FROM A LOW
OVER SOUTHERN QUEBEC TO CENTRAL LAKE ERIE...CONTINUING SOUTH TO THE
LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. THE STEADIEST RAIN ALONG THIS BOUNDARY IS
FALLING FROM THE OHIO VALLEY SOUTHWARD TO LOUISIANA...WITH JUST
SCATTERED SHOWERS DEVELOPING ACROSS OUR CWA EARLY THIS MORNING.
STILL EXPECT THE PCPN TO PICK UP A BIT LATER THIS MORNING AS THE
FRONT MOVES EAST ACROSS WESTERN NEW YORK AND THE UPPER LEVEL JET
STREAK LIFTS NORTH ACROSS SOUTHERN ONTARIO INTO SOUTHERN QUEBEC.
THE SOUTHWEST FLOW AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES
MAINLY IN THE 40S UNTIL ABOUT DAYBREAK. THEREFORE...RAIN SHOWERS
WILL BE THE DOMINANT PCPN TYPE THROUGH THIS PERIOD.

EXPECT THE FRONT TO BE EAST OF OUR LAKE ONTARIO COUNTIES BEFORE 18Z.
THE LATEST MODEL RUNS SHOW THE COLDER AIR BUILDING IN QUICKER...WITH
850 MB TEMPERATURES FORECAST TO RANGE FROM ABOUT -9C IN THE WEST TO
ABOUT -7C EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO BY 18Z. THIS SHOULD CAUSE ANY MIX OF
RAIN AND SNOW TO CHANGE TO ALL SNOW BY EARLY AFTERNOON. SINCE THE
BULK OF THE FRONTAL MOISTURE IS EXPECTED TO BE EAST OF OUR AREA BY
THE TIME THE COLDER ARRIVES...ACCUMULATIONS WILL GENERALLY BE UNDER
AN INCH TODAY. IN TERMS OF THE POTENTIAL FOR LAKE EFFECT DURING THE
AFTERNOON...IT STILL LOOKS LIKE THE AIR WILL BE TOO DRY FOR ANY
ORGANIZED LAKE EFFECT...BUT WILL MAINTAIN LIKELY POPS EAST OF THE
LAKES DUE TO THE WESTERLY UPSLOPE FLOW.

TONIGHT...THE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IS FORECAST TO INCREASE FROM WEST
TO EAST WHILE 850 MB TEMPERATURES COOL TO ABOUT -13C/-14C BY 12Z.
THE LATEST NAM BUFKIT PROFILES SHOW DEEPER MOISTURE AND GREATER
INSTABILITY DEVELOPING EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO AFTER 06Z. IT MAKE TAKE
AWHILE FOR THE WINDS WITHIN THE BOUNDARY TO LINE UP...BUT ONCE THEY
DO...THE STEADIER SNOW SHOULD SET UP ACROSS THE TUG HILL PLATEAU
WITH AT LEAST ADVISORY TYPE ACCUMULATIONS EXPECTED BY DAYBREAK
FRIDAY. THE LAKE SNOWS ARE EXPECTED TO BECOME EVEN BETTER ORGANIZED
ON FRIDAY. THEREFORE...A LAKE EFFECT SNOW WARNING IS NOW IN EFFECT
FOR THE NORTH COUNTRY...BEGINNING WITH TONIGHT.

EAST OF LAKE ERIE...THE MODEL SOUNDING SHOW ADEQUATE MOISTURE IN THE
LOWER LEVELS...BUT THE SUBSIDENCE INVERSION IS FORECAST TO BE QUITE
A BIT LOWER. BASED ON THIS TREND...WILL KEEP ACCUMULATIONS ACROSS
THE SOUTHERN TIER JUST BELOW THE CRITERIA NEEDED FOR AN ADVISORY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
LAKE EFFECT SNOWS WILL BE ONGOING OFF BOTH LAKES AT THE START OF
THE SHORT TERM PERIOD...ESPECIALLY OFF OF LAKE ONTARIO WHERE LAKE
PARAMETERS ARE A BIT MORE IMPRESSIVE. SOME OF THE COLDEST AIR OF
THIS SEASON WILL BE POURING ACROSS THE LOWER LAKES FRIDAY WITH 850
MB TEMPERATURES NEAR MINUS 16C. STEERING WINDS DURING THE DAY
FRIDAY WILL BE 260-270 DEGREES WHICH WILL FOCUS THE HEAVIEST LAKE
SNOWS SOUTH OF THE BUFFALO AND WATERTOWN AREAS. WINDS WILL BACK
FURTHER FRIDAY NIGHT WITH A FAVORABLE 240-250 FLOW PUSHING THE
HEAVIEST LAKE SNOWS NORTHWARD INTO THE BUFFALO AND WATERTOWN
AREAS. THE FLOW LOOKS TO BE WELL ALIGNED FOR A SEVERAL HOUR
PERIOD FRIDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY SATURDAY...SO THE POTENTIAL FOR
MODEST ACCUMULATING SNOWS CONTINUE TO LOOK REASONABLE.

WINDS CONTINUING TO BACK SATURDAY MORNING TO A MORE 210-220 FLOW
WITH INCREASING SHEAR...RESULTING IN THE WEAKENING OF THE LAKE
SNOWS. LATER IN THE DAY SATURDAY...A CLIPPER SYSTEM MOVES INTO THE
WESTERN AND CENTRAL LAKES WHICH WILL BRING A CHANCE OF LIGHT SNOW TO
WESTERN SECTIONS IN THE AFTERNOON AS IT GETS CLOSER.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THE CLIPPER LOW WILL MOVE TO WESTERN NEW YORK BY 12Z SUNDAY THEN
REDEVELOP OFF NEW ENGLAND COAST LATER SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT.  WE
SHOULD ALL GET SOME LIGHT SNOW SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUN MORNING...
BUT ACCUMULATIONS LOOK MINOR...COUPLE INCHES AT BEST. THE CHANCE OF
SNOW LOWERS FROM WEST TO EAST IN THE AFTERNOON.

A SHOT OF COLDER AIR FOLLOWS SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND SUNDAY NIGHT WITH
SOME SNOW SHOWERS...BUT NORTHERLY FLOW SHOULD INHIBIT INTENSE LAKE
EFFECT, AND ACCUMULATIONS ALONG THE SOUTH SHORES SHOULD REMAIN BELOW
WARNING AMOUNTS. STRONG RIDGE CROSSES AREA MONDAY FOR A DRY
BEGINNING...THEN NEXT SYSTEM APPROACHES FROM WEST WITH ANOTHER
GENERAL LIGHT SNOW MONDAY NIGHT CHANGING TO RAIN AS THE TEMPERATURES
WARM ON TUESDAY. BOTH THE 12Z NAM AND 12Z ECMWF SHOW AND FRONT
MOVING FURTHER EAST WITH A COASTAL LOW MOVING UP ALONG THE COAST,
AND WE HAVE KEPT LOW CHANCE POPS DUE THE UNCERTAINTY OF TIMING OF
THE END OF THE PRECIPITATION.

&&

.AVIATION /09Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
CONDITIONS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE 06Z TAF PERIOD WILL STILL
BE GENERALLY VFR AS THE PREFRONTAL SHOT OF RAIN WAS QUICK AND
LIGHT. HOWEVER JET DYNAMICS IMPROVER OVERNIGHT WITH CONDITIONS
LIKELY TO DROP TO MVFR FOR SEVERAL HOURS MOSTLY IN RAIN. SOME
IMPROVEMENT POST FRONTAL...MAINLY BACK TO VFR. WEST TO NORTHWEST
FLOW WILL CREATE MVFR TO IFR CONDITONS IN LAKE EFFECT SNOW EAST OF
BOTH LAKES THURSDAY NIGHT.

LLWS WILL ALSO BE A CONCERN FOR AVIATORS TONIGHT AS THE LOW LEVEL
JET TRACKS EAST ACROSS THE AREA SO LLWS HAS BEEN PUT IN THE TAFS FRM
ARND 03Z-09Z.

OUTLOOK...
FRIDAY...IFR IN LAKE SNOWS EAST OF THE LAKES..VFR ELSEWHERE.
SATURDAY...IFR IN LK SNOWS NE OF THE LAKES. SATURDAY
NIGHT...IFR/MVFR IN WIDESPREAD SNOW SHOWERS.
SUNDAY...MVFR/IFR IN
SNOW SHWRS WITH HEAVIER LK SNOWS SE OF THE LKS.
MONDAY...MVFR PSBL IN SOME LINGERING LK SNOWS SE OF LK ONTARIO.

&&

.MARINE...
SOUTHWEST WINDS AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT WILL MAINTAIN
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS ON BOTH LAKES EARLY THIS
MORNING...BUT THE GUSTS WILL STAY BELOW GALE WARNING. AFTER THE
FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE WINDS WILL SWITCH TO THE WEST AND MAINTAIN
SMALL CRAFTS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. THE WIND AND WAVES WILL
SUBSIDE A BIT THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF TONIGHT...BUT THE WESTERLY
GRADIENT IS EXPECTED TO PICK UP AGAIN LATER TONIGHT THROUGH
FRIDAY. THEREFORE...THE SMALL CRAFTS WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT THROUGH
FRIDAY.

&&
