FOCUS SOUTHEAST OF THE LAKES. IN ADDITION TO THE LAKE EFFECT

CONTINUE TO PRODUCE AREAS OF BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW...
ESPECIALLY IN OPEN AREAS. THIS WILL KEEP TRAVEL CONDITIONS
HAZARDOUS EVEN IN AREAS WHICH DO NOT RECEIVE MUCH ADDITIONAL
SNOWFALL.

OFF LAKE ERIE...THE MOST PERSISTENT SNOW IS EXPECTED TO FOCUS
ALONG THE CHAUTAUQUA RIDGE FROM SHERMAN AND MAYVILLE NORTH

WESTERN NEW YORK EARLY THIS MORNING NOW THAT THE MOST FAVORABLE LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE CONVERGENCE AND UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT IS IN PLACE.
WITH THE MAIN CENTER OF THE SURFACE LOW LOCATED OVER NORTHWEST PA...
WE ARE ALSO SEEING AN ADDITIONAL INFLUENCE FROM THE NORTHEAST FLOW
OFF LAKE ONTARIO. THIS IS EVIDENT ON KBUF RADAR WHERE THE ONE HOUR
SNOW DEPTH ALGORITHM IS INDICATING SNOWFALL RATES OF 2 TO 2.5 INCHES
PER HOUR ACROSS NORTHERN ERIE AND GENESEE COUNTIES. THIS CORRESPONDS
WELL WITH GROUND TRUTH WHICH INDICATES 3 INCHES OF NEW SNOW AT KBUF
BETWEEN 07Z AND 08Z. EXPECT THE STEADY SNOW TO CONTINUE TO MOVE TO
THE EAST DURING THE REMAINDER OF THE EARLY MORNING HOURS AS THE
SURFACE LOW TRACKS EAST ACROSS PA.

EXPECT THE STEADIEST SNOW TO TAPER OFF FROM WEST TO EAST LATER THIS
MORNING AS THE LOW SETTLES OFF THE SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND COAST.
HOWEVER...A MOIST CYCLONIC FLOW LINGERING BEHIND THE DEPARTING LOW
WILL STILL KEEP LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS GOING RIGHT THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON. LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...THE FOCUS WILL SHIFT
TO IMPACTS FROM LAKE EFFECT SNOW AS 850 MB TEMPERATURES
DIP TO ABOUT -20C.

THE BRISK NORTHWEST FLOW BEHIND THE DEPARTING LOW WILL DIRECT THE
HEAVIEST SNOWS SOUTHEAST OF THE LAKES. OFF LAKE ERIE...THE STEADIEST
LAKE SNOWS ARE EXPECTED OVER CHAUTAUQUA AND CATTARAUGUS COUNTIES
WHERE THERE WILL BE AN ADDITIONAL INFLUENCE WITH UPSLOPE NORTHWEST
FLOW. EXPECT THE LAKE ERIE SNOW TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE FIRST HALF
OF TONIGHT BEFORE THE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE THINS OUT AND THE INVERSION
LOWERS BELOW 3K FEET.

SOUTHEAST OF LAKE ONTARIO...EXPECT THE LAKE EFFECT SNOW TO SET UP
DURING THE MID TO LATE AFTERNOON HOURS WHEN THE BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS
WILL BECOME BETTER ALIGNED FROM THE NORTHWEST. WHILE THE NORTHWEST
FETCH WILL HELP TO LIMIT ACCUMULATIONS...THE MODELS SOUNDINGS SHOW A
DEEP ENOUGH LAYER OF MOIST AIR LINGERING BELOW THE SUBSIDENCE
INVERSION ALONG WITH FAVORABLE DENDRITIC SNOW GROWTH WITHIN THIS
MOIST LAYER. THEREFORE...EXPECT THE LAKE ONTARIO SNOWS TO LINGER
THROUGH A GOOD PART OF TONIGHT BEFORE WEAKENING TOWARD DAYBREAK
THURSDAY.

BRISK NORTHWEST WINDS BEHIND THE LOW WILL ALSO IMPACT THE AREA TODAY
THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF TONIGHT. THE COMBINATION OF SNOW AND WIND
WILL CREATE NEAR WHITE OUT CONDITIONS AT TIMES.

IN TERMS OF TEMPERATURES...EXPECT READINGS TO GENERALLY HOLD STEADY
IN THE 20S THROUGH EARLY THIS MORNING...THEN FALL INTO THE TEENS
DURING THE AFTERNOON AS STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION SETS UP BEHIND THE
LOW. TONIGHT...TEMPERATURES WILL DIP INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS AT MOST
LOCATIONS AWAY FROM THE LAKES...WITH A FEW SUB ZERO READINGS
EXPECTED EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO. WIND CHILL VALUES MAY APPROACH
ADVISORY CRITERIA ACROSS THE NORTH COUNTRY LATE TONIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN WITH COLD AIR OVER THE LAKES THURSDAY.  THE
RISK OF LAKE EFFECT SNOW CONTINUES, BUT A LOWERING CAP WILL DECREASE
THE INTENSITY CONSIDERABLY, AND WE HAVE CONTINUED WITH JUST A CHANCE
OF LAKE SNOWS SOUTHEAST OF LAKE ONTARIO. THE LAKE SNOWS SHOULD END
BY AFTERNOON AS WINDS BACK TO SOUTHEAST IN ADVANCE OF THE NEXT LOW
DUE TO ARRIVE ON FRIDAY. THE CLIPPER LOW WILL MOVE NORTH OF THE AREA
AND BRING WIDESPREAD BUT MAINLY LIGHT SNOW TO ALL OF THE FORECAST
AREA ON FRIDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
COLD AIR WILL BRING SOME LAKE SNOWS FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY THEN
RIDGING BUILDS IN SATURDAY...BUT THERE WILL BE A CHANCE OF SNOW
SHOWERS AS INSTABILITY REMAINS DURING THE DAY. THE CYCLE CONTINUES
FOR A CHANCE OF SNOW ON SUNDAY WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE NEXT CLIPPER
THEN A COLD POOL ALOFT MAINTAINS UNSTABLE AND SNOW SHOWERY
CONDITIONS INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /09Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WORKING ACROSS NORTHERN OHIO OVERNIGHT
WILL TRACK ACROSS PENNSYLVANIA WEDNESDAY MORNING. SNOW DEVELOPING
NORTH OF THE MAIN CENTER OF THE LOW WILL SPREAD ACROSS THE AREA
OVERNIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. CONDITIONS WILL LOWER TO MVFR WITH THE
ONSET OF THE SNOW...THEN DETERIORATE TO IFR/LIFR...GENERALLY AFTER
06Z...CONTINUING INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING. AREAS EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO
WILL GENERALLY SEE CONDITIONS LOWERING TO MVFR DUE TO THE GREATER
DISTANCE FROM THE MAIN CENTER OF THE STORM.

THE STEADY SNOW WILL ALSO BE ACCOMPANIED BY AN INCREASE IN NORTHEAST
TO NORTHWEST WINDS LATE TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING AS THE MAIN
CENTER OF THE LOW MOVES ACROSS PENNSYLVANIA.

OUTLOOK...
WEDNESDAY...IFR IN WIDESPREAD SNOW IN THE MORNING...WITH SOME
IMPROVEMENT TO MVFR FOLLOWING IN THE AFTERNOON.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT...MVFR IN SNOW SHWRS SE OF THE LKS.
THURSDAY...CHC SNOW SHWRS SE OF LK ONTARIO. GENLY VFR.
FRIDAY...MVFR IN SNOW.
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...MVFR/VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
NORTHEAST WINDS WILL INCREASE AND BACK TO NORTHWEST TODAY AS THE LOW
MOVES OFF THE COAST AND THE GRADIENT TIGHTENS WITH THE ADVANCE OF
THE HIGH INTO THE AREA. SOME GALE FORCE GUSTS ARE POSSIBLE TODAY,
AND SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT TONIGHT. WINDS
LIGHTEN UP AGAIN ON THURSDAY AND TURN SOUTHERLY ON FRIDAY AHEAD OF
THE NEXT SYSTEM. STRONG WINDS ARE POSSIBLE AGAIN FRIDAY NIGHT AND
SATURDAY AFTER THE NEXT LOW PASSES.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
TONAWANDA CREEK AT RAPIDS CONTINUES TO FALL SLOWLY. IT SHOULD FALL
BELOW FLOOD STAGE EARLY THIS EVENING.

MEANWHILE...THE BLACK RIVER EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO WILL REMAIN HIGH
INTO MIDWEEK BUT SHOULD STAY BELOW FLOOD STAGE.
