AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
237 PM EST WED JAN 30 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A VERY HAZARDOUS WEATHER SITUATION WILL BE FOUND ACROSS ALL OF
WESTERN AND NORTH CENTRAL NEW YORK THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY TODAY
IN THE WAKE OF A POWERFUL COLD FRONT WHICH CROSSED THE REGION. WINDS
IN MANY AREAS WILL GUST TO NEAR 60 MPH WITH A DRAMATIC DROP IN
TEMPERATURES. SNOWSQUALLS AND BLOWING SNOW WILL OCCUR ACROSS THE
AREA THROUGH AT LEAST MIDDAY AND START TO DIMINISH THIS AFTERNOON
OFF LAKE ERIE BUT LINGER LONGER OFF LAKE ONTARIO. THE WEATHER
WILL IMPROVE THURSDAY BEFORE AN APPROACHING STORM SYSTEM BRINGS
THE POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT WINTRY WEATHER FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
DRAMATIC IMPACTS THIS MORNING ACROSS OUR REGION WITH WIDESPREAD
DAMAGE AND POWER OUTAGES THROUGHOUT THE REGION DUE TO INCREDIBLE
WINDS OF 60 TO 70 MPH FROM BUFFALO TO ROCHESTER. UNPRECEDENTED
FLOODING ALSO OCCURRING FROM LAKE ERIE WITH MAJOR SEICHE SENDING
LAKE UP OVER 8 FEET IN A FEW HOURS...SENDING ICE OVER THE BOOM
INTO THE NIAGARA RIVER AND BACKING UP THE BUFFALO RIVER TO FLOOD
PORTIONS OF THE CITY OF BUFFALO. LAKE EFFECT HAS DEVELOPED OFF
ERIE BUT STILL VERY DISORGANIZED WITH MULTIPLE BANDS AND
CELLS...THERE APPEARS TO BE A WEAKENING TREND UPSTREAM ON KCLE
RADAR SO DO EXPECT THIS ACTIVITY TO BECOME MORE SCATTERED INTO
EARLY AFTERNOON BUT WILL NEED TO WATCH FOR ANY SINGLE BAND
DEVELOPMENT AS WINDS VEER MORE TO 250-260 WHICH MIGHT COUNTERRACT
THE DRYING FOR AWHILE. WINDS TEMPS AND VSBY ARE BRINGING BLIZZARD
CONDITIONS IN THESE CELLS BUT IT IS SCATTERED ENOUGH SO THAT WE
WILL CONTINUE TO COVER WITH SPSS AND HOLD WINTER WX ADVISORY FOR
NOW. WILL REVISIT THIS AT NOON.

LK ONTARIO ACTIVITY WILL BE EVEN MORE OF A CONCERN WITH FIRST
SIGNS OF A SINGLE BAND GETTING GOING OVER SRN JEFF CTY.
AGAIN...WILL REVISIT THIS FOR POSSIBLE UPGRADE BY NOON OR SO.

OTHERWISE...WILL GO WITH SCATD SNOW SHOWERS FOR THE AFTERNOON.

WILL LOWER TEMPS SEVERAL DEGREES BUT WIND CHILLS SHOULD STILL
REMAIN A BIT ABOVE CRITERIA FOR FLAGS.

UPDATE AT 1225 PM...WILL LOWER HIGH WIND WARNING TO ADVISORIES FOR
COUNTIES AWAY FROM LAKE PLAIN AND FUNNELLING SUCH AS
CATT/ALLEG/LIVINGSTON/ONTARIO/WYOMING COS. WILL LEAVE WARNINGS UP
AS IS ELSEWHERE ALTHOUGH WINDS SHOULD BEGIN TO EASE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
LAKE SNOWS WILL LIKELY CONTINUE EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO TONIGHT AS
WINDS SLACKEN HOWEVER SNOWS SHOULD BE WINDING DOWN AS DRIER AIR
ADVECTS INTO THE AREA AND INVERSION HEIGHTS DROP SIGNIFICANTLY.
SURFACE WINDS WILL ALSO RAPIDLY DIMINISH TONIGHT...ESPECIALLY AFTER
MIDNIGHT AS WIND FIELDS ALOFT SLACKEN...TEMPERATURE ADVECTION
BECOMES NEUTRAL...AND RIDGING WORKS INTO THE AREA FROM THE WEST.

THURSDAY LOOKS TO BE TRANQUIL AS RIDGING BUILDS ACROSS THE AREA.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
THIS PERIOD WILL FEATURE AN UPPER SOUTHWEST FLOW UNTIL THE ARRIVAL
OF AN UPPER TROUGH ON WEDNESDAY. AT THE SURFACE TEMPERATURES WILL BE
MILD UNTIL LATE WEDNESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRING MAINLY FAIR
WEATHER ON SUNDAY, THEN DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE OVER THE MIDWEST
WILL SPREAD NORTHEAST AND WILL PUT MOISTURE INTO THE SOUTHWEST
FLOW. DAYTIME TEMPERATURES WILL RISE INTO THE 40S FOR MONDAY AND
TUESDAY. THERE WILL BE A CHANCE OF SHOWERS ON MONDAY, AND EVEN
ENOUGH MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY FOR A CHANCE OF THUNDER ON
TUESDAY. WITH THE ARRIVAL OF THE UPPER TROUGH, THE MILD AIR AND
LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE EAST DURING WEDNESDAY...WITH A POTENTIAL
FOR SNOW AND STRONG WINDS DEVELOPING.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
SYNOPTIC SCALE CLOUDS ARE DECREASING, BUT LAKE CLOUDS AND SNOW
DOWNWIND OF THE LAKES ARE PRODUCING GENERAL MVFR CEILINGS, WITH
OCCASIONAL LIFR CONDITIONS IN SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW.

OFF LAKE ERIE THE LOWER CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE DURING THE EVENING
WITH WEAKENING LAKE SNOWS AND SUBSIDING WINDS. TO THE EAST OF LAKE
ONTARIO THE LAKE SNOWS WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT AND DIMINISH EARLY
THURSDAY, WITH WATERTOWN BEING THE ONLY TERMINAL AFFECTED.

EXPECT GENERAL VFR CONDITIONS ON THURSDAY, THEN DEEPENING LOW
PRESSURE MOVING INTO THE OHIO VALLEY WILL BRING A MIX OF
PRECIPITATION WITH IFR CONDITIONS DEVELOPING LATE THURSDAY NIGHT AND
FRIDAY. THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE ICING IN MIXED
PRECIPITATION. CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE SATURDAY THEN A COLD FRONT
MAY BRING SOME IFR VISIBILITY ON SUNDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
FREQUENT GUSTS TO STORM FORCE WILL CONTINUE ON THE LAKES THIS
AFTERNOON. WITH THE STRONG WINDS...LONG FETCH...AND UNSTABLE MARINE
BOUNDARY LAYER...SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHTS ON THE OPEN WATERS OF LAKE
ONTARIO MAY APPROACH 20 FEET AND HEAVY FREEZING SPRAY WILL CONTINUE.
WINDS SHOULD DIMINISH TO GALE FORCE LATER THIS AFTERNOON...THEN
QUICKLY DIMINISH TO LESS THAN 20 KNOTS BY THURSDAY MORNING AS A
RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
LAKE ERIE ROSE TO 10.5 FEET ABOVE LOW WATER DATUM AT 7 AM THIS
MORNING. THIS CAPPED A REMARKABLE RISE OF 9 FEET IN LESS THAN 3
HOURS AND CAUSED ALL KINDS OF FLOODING PROBLEMS ALONG THE
LAKESHORE AND PARTS OF CITY...BUT GENERALLY MINOR. IT HAS RECEDED
BELOW THE 8 FOOT FLOOD STAGE AS OF 945 AM BUT WARNING WILL BE
ALLOWED TO EXPIRE AT NOON. FFW FOR FLOODING ALONG THE NIAGARA
