AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
338 PM EST THU DEC 18 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A SIGNIFICANT STORM SYSTEM WILL MOVE ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY
TONIGHT...THEN ACROSS FAR SOUTHERN PENNSYLVANIA FRIDAY...AND THIS
WILL BRING A WIDESPREAD HEAVY SNOWFALL DURING FRIDAY...ESPECIALLY
SOUTH OF LAKE ONTARIO. SNOW FROM THIS SYSTEM SHOULD END QUICKLY
FRIDAY EVENING WITH ANY LINGERING LAKE SNOWS DIMINISHING ON
SATURDAY...THEN ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM IS EXPECTED TO
IMPACT THE AREA LATE IN THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
SOME VERY WEAK LAKE EFFECT FLURRIES AND LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS CONTINUE
EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO THIS AFTERNOON. 12Z NAM BUFKIT PROFILES SHOW
LAKE INDUCED EQUILIBRIUM LEVELS REMAINING ABOVE 4K FEET THROUGH THE
EVENING. BY LATE EVENING THE BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS QUICKLY SHIFT TO
THE NORTHWEST THEN NORTH. THE LESSENING FETCH AND INCREASING SHEAR
WILL FINALLY END THE LAKE EFFECT ACTIVITY. ANY ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE
MINIMAL...AND WILL HANDLE THIS WITH SCATTERED SNOW SHOWER WORDING
FOR THE EVENING.

OUR ATTENTION THEN TURNS TO A SIGNIFICANT STORM SYSTEM FOR FRIDAY.
THE 12Z GFS/NAM HAVE COME IN QUITE CONSISTENT WITH PREVIOUS RUNS...
PERHAPS TRENDING JUST A TAD NORTH COMPARED TO THE 00Z RUNS. EARLIER
WE UPGRADED MOST OF THE CWA TO A WINTER STORM WARNING...EXCEPT FOR
JEFFERSON/LEWIS COUNTIES WHERE AN ADVISORY WAS ISSUED. THIS THINKING
IS STILL INTACT FOR THE AFTERNOON FORECAST.

MOISTURE CHANNEL IMAGERY SHOWING A WELL DEFINED SOUTHERN STREAM JET
EXTENDING FROM THE EASTERN SUB-TROPICAL PACIFIC INTO THE CENTRAL
CONUS. 18Z SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS LEE CYCLOGENESIS UNDERWAY OVER THE
COLORADO HIGH PLAINS AS THE MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE EJECTS OUT OF THE
SOUTHERN ROCKIES. THE MID LEVEL SYSTEM WILL RACE EAST ALONG A STRONG
BAROCLINIC ZONE EXTENDING FROM THE CENTRAL PLAINS TO THE NORTHERN
MID ATLANTIC STATES...WITH THE ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW DEVELOPING
RAPIDLY EASTWARD. THE MID LEVEL SYSTEM WILL REMAIN OPEN THROUGH THE
DURATION...KEEPING THE FORWARD MOTION VERY FAST. THE SURFACE LOW IS
FORECAST TO TRACK ACROSS SOUTHERN PENNSYLVANIA FRIDAY AFTERNOON...
PLACING MUCH OF THE CWA IN AN IDEAL LOCATION FOR HEAVY SNOW JUST
POLEWARD OF THE LOW TRACK.

DESPITE THE FAST MOTION...VERY IMPRESSIVE DYNAMICS AND MOISTURE ARE
COMING TOGETHER TO PRODUCE A QUICK HITTING HEAVY SNOW EVENT. ABOUT 4
G/KG OF MOISTURE WILL ADVECT NORTH INTO THE SOUTHERN TIER ON THE
295K ISENTROPIC SURFACE...PROVIDING AMPLE MOISTURE. FRONTOGENETIC
FORCING WILL BECOME INTENSE ALONG THE TIGHTENING BAROCLINIC ZONE...
SUPPORTED BY A DIFFERENTIAL THERMAL ADVECTION REGIME WITH LOW LEVEL
COLD AIR ADVECTION ON NE SURFACE WINDS AND STRONG WARM AIR ADVECTION
ALOFT. AT THE SAME A VERY WELL DEFINED COUPLED UPPER LEVEL JET
STRUCTURE WILL DEVELOP...WITH VERY STRONG UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE. IN
ADDITION...A CROSS SECTION OF THE 12Z GFS SUGGESTS THE POTENTIAL FOR
A TROPOPAUSE FOLD WITH THIS SYSTEM...ALLOWING AN INTRUSION OF
STRATOSPHERIC AIR INTO THE LOWER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE. THIS WILL
PROBABLY ALLOW A VERY DEEP LAYER OF ASCENT...WITH LOW STATIC
STABILITY THROUGH AN UNUSUALLY DEEP LAYER. CLOUD MICROPHYSICS LOOK
IDEAL WITH A DECENT DENDRITIC CRYSTAL GROWTH ZONE AT ABOUT 15K
FEET...THEN A VERY DEEP NEARLY ISOTHERMAL LAYER OF SATURATED AIR
BELOW THAT WITH A FAVORABLE TEMPERATURE RANGE FOR HEAVY RIMING.

TO PUT THE ABOVE INTO LAYMAN TERMS...THE AMOUNT OF MOISTURE AND
STRONG LIFT SUGGEST THE POTENTIAL FOR A 4-6 HOUR PERIOD OF 1-2
INCHES PER HOUR FROM MID TO LATE MORNING THROUGH AFTERNOON ON
FRIDAY. EXPECT TOTAL ACCUMULATIONS TO REACH 6-9 INCHES IN MUCH OF
THE CWA...WITH 8-12 INCHES POSSIBLE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN TIER CLOSER
TO THE DEEPEST MOISTURE AND LIFT. ACROSS THE EASTERN LAKE ONTARIO
ZONES...THERE WILL BE A RAPID DROP-OFF IN SNOW TOTALS HEADING NORTH.
EXPECT 4-7 INCHES ACROSS SOUTHERN JEFFERSON/SOUTHERN LEWIS COUNTIES
DECREASING TO ABOUT 2 INCHES NEAR THE SAINT LAWRENCE RIVER.

IN ADDITION TO THE HEAVY SNOW...NORTHEAST WINDS WILL INCREASE FRIDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS A STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT DEVELOPS BETWEEN
THE LOW AND A STRONG HIGH BUILDING INTO QUEBEC. EXPECT SUSTAINED
WINDS TO INCREASE TO 15 TO 25 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 30 MPH. CLOSER TO
LAKE ONTARIO...GUSTS WILL REACH AS HIGH AS 40 MPH WITH NORTHEAST
WINDS CROSSING THE LOW FRICTION SURFACE OF THE LAKE. HAVE ADDED
BLOWING SNOW INTO THE GRIDS/ZFP FOR FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND FRIDAY
EVENING.

FRIDAY NIGHT THE STEADY SNOW WILL QUICKLY TAPER OFF FROM WEST TO
EAST DURING THE EVENING. SOME LAKE ENHANCEMENT MAY HANG ON FOR A FEW
HOURS LONGER ALONG THE SOUTH SHORE OF LAKE ONTARIO. GIVEN THE
POTENTIAL FOR LINGERING LAKE ENHANCEMENT AND CONTINUED BLOWING AND
DRIFTING SNOW DURING THE EVENING...WE EXTENDED THE WARNING TIME
UNTIL 10 PM.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
FOR THE MOST PART...SATURDAY LOOKS TO BE THE LULL BETWEEN THE WINTER
STORM ON FRIDAY AND THE NEXT WINTER STORM BEGINNING SATURDAY NIGHT.
THERE COULD BE SOME VERY MINOR LINGERING LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS
SOUTH OF LAKE ONTARIO...FROM ROCHESTER TO THE NIAGARA RIVER AS THE
FLOW STILL REMAINS NORTHEASTERLY...BUT A FAIR AMOUNT OF SHEAR DOES
SHOW UP IN MODEL SOUNDINGS. ANY LAKE SNOWS WILL COMPLETELY CUT OFF
BY MID DAY SATURDAY...AS FLOW VEERS SOUTHEASTERLY AHEAD OF THE
NEXT WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPING OUT OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS.

OUR FOCUS WILL TURN TO THE EVOLUTION OF THE NEXT STORM SYSTEM WHICH
WILL BEGIN TO IMPACT THE AREA AS EARLY AS SATURDAY NIGHT. THE
SURFACE LOW LIFTING OUT OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS LOOKS TO MOVE INTO
THE VICINITY OF SOUTHWESTERN NEW YORK/NORTHWEST PENNSYLVANIA BY
SUNDAY MORNING...AS A SECONDARY LOW BEGINS TO DEVELOP NEAR THE MID
ATLANTIC COAST. STRENGTHENING WARM AIR ADVECTION PATTERN WILL
BRING A MODEST AMOUNT OF ISENTROPIC ASCENT ACROSS THE AREA LATE
SATURDAY NIGHT AND DURING THE DAY SUNDAY WHICH SHOULD PRODUCE A
GENERAL SNOWFALL ACROSS ALL OF WESTERN OF CENTRAL NEW YORK. MODEL
QPF FIELDS AND LATEST HPC GUIDANCE SUGGESTING SNOWFALL AMOUNTS
COULD BE IN THE RANGE OF 2-4/3-5 INCHES ACROSS THE AREA. ALTHOUGH
THIS SYNOPTIC SNOW DOES NOT LOOK AS IMPRESSIVE AS THE ONE WE WILL
HAVE ON FRIDAY THERE WILL BE THE ADDITIONAL COMPONENT OF STRONG
SURFACE WIND FIELDS AS THE GRADIENT TIGHTENS AS A COASTAL LOW
LOOKS TO FORM OF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST BY LATE SUNDAY AND THE
POTENTIAL FOR ADDITIONAL HEAVY LAKE ENHANCED/LAKE EFFECT SNOWS
BEHIND THE LOW LATER SUNDAY AFTERNOON. BUFKIT SOUNDINGS SUGGESTING
THE POTENTIAL FOR WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 40 MPH WHICH WILL CREATE
CONSIDERABLE BLOWING/DRIFTING AND VISIBILITIES PROBLEMS.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
A VERY COLD NORTHWEST FLOW REGIME...WITH 850 MB TEMPERATURES DOWN
TO NEAR MINUS 18C...WILL SET UP AS THE COASTAL LOW RETREATS. THIS
WILL SET THE STAGE FOR SIGNIFICANT LAKE EFFECT SNOWS SOUTHEAST OF
LAKE ERIE AND ALONG THE SOUTH SHORE OF LAKE ONTARIO. THE HEAVIEST
LAKE SNOWS SHOULD IMPACT AREAS SOUTHEAST OF THE BUFFALO AREA AS
WELL AS THE ROCHESTER AREA THROUGH AT LEAST MONDAY. STRONG WINDS
LOOK TO CONTINUE SUNDAY NIGHT AND THROUGH AT LEAST THE FIRST HALF
OF MONDAY. AMOUNTS HARD TO PINDOWN THIS FAR OUT BUT FAVORABLE LAKE
PARAMETERS  WOULD SUGGESTING THE POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS.

THE COASTAL LOOKS TO LIFT OUT LATE MONDAY NIGHT AS BRING A
DIMINISHING TREND TO THE LAKE SNOWS.

QUIETER WEATHER IS THEN EXPECTED TO RETURN FOR TUESDAY AS HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE LOWER LAKES REGION...THOUGH CONDITIONS WILL
LIKELY REMAIN COLDER THAN NORMAL. TOWARDS THE END OF THE PERIOD...
THE LATEST GFS AND ECMWF STILL SUGGEST THE POTENTIAL FOR A COUPLE OF
WEAKER SYSTEMS IMPACTING THE AREA DURING THE CHRISTMAS EVE AND
CHRISTMAS DAY TIME FRAME. THESE SYSTEMS MAY BE PROGRESSIVE ENOUGH
TO KEEP SNOWFALL AMOUNTS DOWN...BUT NONETHELESS SOME ACCUMULATING
SNOW IS EXPECTED DURING THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY TIME FRAME.

&&

.AVIATION /21Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
WEAK SFC HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE FOUND ACROSS THE REGION AT 18Z TO
START THE TAF PERIOD. HOWEVER MOISTURE UNDERNEATH AN INVERSION WILL
LIMIT CLOUD BREAKAGE AND KEEP CIGS IN THE MVFR/LOW VFR FLIGHT RANGE
THROUGH MUCH OF THE AFTERNOON. SOME DRIER AIR WILL BREAK THE LOW
LEVEL CLOUDS WITH VFR FLIGHT CONDITIONS OVERNIGHT BEFORE CIGS LOWER
AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING SNOWSTORM.

A STORM CUTTING ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY AND THROUGH THE MID-ATLANTIC
WILL SPREAD SNOW FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE REGION TOMORROW. THE
SOUTHERN TIER WILL SEE THE SNOW FIRST WITH STARTING TIMES AROUND
12Z...AND LATER NEAR 17Z ACROSS EASTERN END OF LAKE ONTARIO.

VISIBILITIES QUICKLY DETERIORATE TO IFR WITH THE SNOW AND WITH A GUSTY
WIND THERE WILL BE AREAS OF BLOWING SNOW. CIGS WILL LOWER TO
IFR/MVFR WITH THE STORM WITH THE LOWEST CIGS FOUND ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN TIER. WITH THE EASTERN END OF LAKE ONTARIO FURTHER AWAY
FROM THE STORM CENTER AND COMBINED WITH SOME DOWNSLOPING ON AN
EASTERLY WIND EXPECT CIGS TO REMAIN MVFR AT KART THROUGH THE MORNING
AND EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS.

WITH HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS SOUTHERN CANADA AND LOW PRESSURE CUTTING
ACROSS SOUTHERN PENNSYLVANIA EXPECT THE HIGHEST WINDS TOMORROW TO BE
NEAR LAKE ONTARIO...WITH LESS GUSTY WINDS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN TIER.

OUTLOOK...

FRIDAY NIGHT...WIDESPREAD IFR IN SNOW IMPROVING TO MVFR LATE.
SATURDAY...MAINLY VFR.
SUNDAY...IFR IN WIDESPREAD SNOW...BLOWING SNOW. STRONG WINDS.
MONDAY...IFR/MVFR IN LAKE EFFECT SNOW EAST SHIFTING SOUTHEAST OF
THE LAKES
TUESDAY...MAINLY VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL SHIFT EAST AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WORKS
THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY FRIDAY AND TO THE EAST COAST BY FRIDAY
NIGHT. A MODERATE NORTHEASTERLY FLOW WILL DEVELOP BETWEEN THE TWO
SYSTEMS WITH SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS DEVELOPING ON LAKE ERIE BY
FRIDAY MORNING AND CONTINUE INTO FRIDAY NIGHT. THE WINDS WILL LIKELY
BE STRONG ENOUGH TO CAUSE LAKE ERIE WATER LEVELS TO DROP SOME 2 TO 3
FEET AT THE EASTERN END OF THE LAKE.

THE GRADIENT WILL BE EVEN TIGHTEN ON LAKE ONTARIO WITH GALE FORCE
WINDS DEVELOPING DURING THE DAY FRIDAY AND CONTINUING FRIDAY NIGHT.
THE LOW WILL RETREAT WELL OFF THE COAST FRIDAY NIGHT WITH WINDS ON
THE LAKE DIMINISHING.

ANOTHER DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL EVOLVE OFF THE COAST BY
LATE IN THE DAY SUNDAY. GALE FORCE WINDS ARE LIKELY ON BOTH LAKES
FROM LATE SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR WIND GUSTS TO
APPROACH STORM FORCE.
