AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
338 AM EST THU DEC 25 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
WINDS WILL SUBSIDE TODAY AS WEAK HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE AREA,
BUT COLD AIR WITH THE HIGH WILL RESULT IN LAKE EFFECT SNOWS EAST AND
SOUTHEAST OF THE LAKES. LOW PRESSURE MOVING NORTH FROM THE
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WILL BRING A SOUTHERLY FLOW OF WARMER AIR, WITH
RAIN SPREADING IN FROM THE WEST FRIDAY AFTERNOON...AND POSSIBLY SOME
FREEZING RAIN FRIDAY NIGHT EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO. SATURDAY WILL HAVE
UNSEASONABLY WARM TEMPERATURES, FOLLOWED BY MORE RAIN SATURDAY
NIGHT, CHANGING TO SNOW SHOWERS SUNDAY AFTER THE PASSAGE OF A COLD
FRONT IN THE MORNING.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
1130 PM UPDATE...SHARP COLD FRONT HAS CLEARED OUR REGION AND HAS
BEEN FOLLOWED BY STRONG WINDS AS EXPECTED. PEAKS HAVE BEEN A BIT
LOWER THAN EXPECTED...MOSTLY IN 45-55 MPH RANGE...BUT WILL HOLD
FLAGS A BIT LONGER AS KART JUST GUSTED TO 54 KTS. WINDS SHOULD
START TO DIMINISH AFTER 05Z IN FAR WEST AND 08-09Z EAST. BATCH OF
LIGHT RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS OVER NIAG PENINSULA AT 04Z WILL CROSS NIAG
FRONTIER IN 05-07Z TIME FRAME.

SEE HYDRO SECTION BELOW...ICE JAM HAS FLUSHED OUT ON CAZENOVIA
CREEK...FLW/FLS HAS BEEN CANCELLED.

ALSO...LAKESHORE FLOOD WATCH WAS CANCELLED...LAKE LEVEL ONLY ROSE
TO ABOUT 6 FT.

RELEVANT PORTIONS OF PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS...

LAKE EFFECT SNOW... EXPECT A VERY LIMITED LAKE EFFECT SNOW
EPISODE LATE TONIGHT THROUGH CHRISTMAS DAY EAST OF THE LAKES.

OFF LAKE ERIE...WITH THE LAKE TEMPERATURE DOWN TO 32F THIS
MORNING...THE FORECAST 850MB TEMPS OF AROUND -11C ARE ONLY
MARGINALLY COLD ENOUGH TO SUPPORT ANY LAKE RESPONSE. LAKE INDUCED
EQUILIBRIUM LEVELS ARE ONLY FORECAST TO RISE TO ABOUT 4000 FEET AT
12Z THURSDAY THEN QUICKLY DROP AFTER THAT AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
OVERHEAD. THIS COMBINED WITH FAVORED WESTERLY UPSLOPE FLOW MAY BE
ENOUGH TO SUPPORT SCATTERED LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS THE HIGHER
TERRAIN OF SKI COUNTRY IN THE MORNING...BUT ANY ACCUMS SHOULD BE AN
INCH OR LESS.

OFF LAKE ONTARIO...THE SETUP WILL BE A LITTLE MORE FAVORABLE WITH
THE WEST WINDS PROVIDING A BETTER FETCH...AND THE LAKE IS ALSO A FEW
DEGREES WARMER. LAKE INDUCED EQUILIBRIUM LEVELS PEAK AT AROUND 6500
FEET IN THE MORNING. BOTH THE SUNY STONY BROOK MM5 AND OUR OWN 6KM
WORKSTATION WRF DEVELOP A DECENT BAND ACROSS THE TUG HILL LATE
TONIGHT. THIS BAND...AIDED BY UPSLOPE FLOW MAY DROP A QUICK 2-4
INCHES LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY CHRISTMAS MORNING ACROSS THE TUG.
CHRISTMAS MORNING THE FLOW VEERS MORE WNW WITH THE BAND PUSHING TO
THE SOUTH SHORE OF LAKE ONTARIO. THE SURFACE HIGH QUICKLY BUILDS
OVERHEAD IN THE AFTERNOON WITH SUBSIDENCE AND DRYING INCREASING.
EXPECT THE LAKE BAND TO BREAK APART INTO SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS BY
MIDDAY ACROSS THE ENTIRE SOUTH SHORE OF THE LAKE FROM ORLEANS COUNTY
TO SOUTHERN OSWEGO COUNTY. THIS MAY PRODUCE A DUSTING TO AN INCH
ALONG THE SOUTH SHORE...POSSIBLY INCLUDING PARTS OF THE ROCHESTER
AREA. THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD END ALTOGETHER BY LATE AFTERNOON.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
A BROAD UPPER RIDGE WILL BUILD OVER THE EASTERN THIRD OF THE
CONTINENT FROM FRIDAY INTO THE EARLY PART OF THE WEEKEND...WHILE A
DEEP SURFACE LOW STRENGTHENS OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS. THIS WILL
RESULT IN A SIGNIFICANT WARMING TREND. MOISTURE ADVANCING FROM THE
WEST WILL BRING CHANCE POPS IN THE AFTERNOON, WITH RAIN EXCEPT FOR A
MIX OF SNOW AND FREEZING RAIN EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO. PRECIPITATION
WILL BE LIKELY FRIDAY NIGHT AS MOISTURE SURGES FROM THE SOUTHWEST.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE SLOW TO WARM IN THE INTERIOR EAST OF LAKE
ONTARIO, AND FREEZING RAIN WILL LIKELY ACCUMULATE UNTIL THE MIDDLE
OF THE NIGHT ESPECIALLY EAST OF THE BLACK RIVER. TEMPERATURES WILL
PEAK ON SATURDAY WHERE SOME OF THE NORMALLY WARMEST DOWNSLOPE AREAS
COULD APPROACH 60.

UNFORTUNATELY WITH THE HUGE WARMUP UP SATURDAY WILL ALSO COME THE
THREAT OF FLOODING DUE TO SIGNIFICANT SNOWMELT. THE GOOD NEWS IS
THAT SHOWERS WILL BE SCATTERED IN NATURE SINCE WE WILL BE IN THE
WARM SECTOR.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
A COLD FRONT CROSSES THE AREA SUNDAY MORNING, AND THERE IS A
POTENTIAL FOR ANOTHER STRONG WIND EVENT AS LOW PRESSURE AGAIN TRACKS
EASTWARD JUST TO OUR NORTH. TEMPERATURES ON SUNDAY WILL BE STEADY OR
FALLING AS COLD AIR DEEPENS, WITH RAIN LIKELY EARLY THEN SCATTERED
SNOW SHOWERS IN THE AFTERNOON. LAKE EFFECT PARAMETERS LOOK
REASONABLE SOUTHEAST OF BOTH LAKES BUT IT DOES NOT LOOK TO BE
ANYTHING SERIOUS AT THIS TIME.

FROM MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY WE WILL BE UNDER A STRONG ZONAL FLOW
WITH SYSTEMS QUICKLY TRAVERSING THE GREAT LAKES REGION. TEMPERATURES
WILL BE RUNNING SEASONAL. THE BEST CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS WILL BE ON
MONDAY AND WEDNESDAY.

LOOKING FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD AT THE LATTER PORTIONS OF NEXT
WEEK...THE PACIFIC BASED AIR MAY BE SLOW TO BE DISPLACED. WHILE A
HEALTHY RIDGE WILL BUILD ACROSS GREENLAND (-NAO SIGNATURE)...A ZONAL
FLOW FROM THE PACIFIC ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES SHOULD KEEP TEMPS ABOVE
NORMAL. A VIGOROUS SHORTWAVE WILL THEN DROP ACROSS THE GULF OF
ALASKA LATE IN THE WEEK...AND THIS WILL BUCKLE THE H5 FLOW OUT
WEST...WITH A TROUGH EVENTUALLY FORMING HERE IN THE EAST. THIS
TRANSITION MAY NOT BE COMPLETE UNTIL AFTER NEW YEARS DAY.

&&

.AVIATION /09Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
A DEEPENING AREA OF LOW PRESSURE LOCATED NORTH OF OTTAWA AT 05Z
HAS PUSHED A COLD FRONT ACROSS THE REGION. STRONG WINDS WILL
CONTINUE FOR SEVERAL HOURS BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. WITH COLDER AIR
POURING ACROSS THE REGION BEHIND THIS COLD FRONT ONLY A FEW
SPRINKLES AND EVENTUALLY FLURRIES ARE EXPECTED AT THE TAF SITES.

WITH WEST-NORTHWEST WINDS ALOFT TOMORROW MORNING EXPECT CIGS TO RISE
ERODED SLOWER THAN MODEL OUTPUT...ESPECIALLY OVER UPSLOPE FLOW AREAS
SUCH AS KIAG...KBUF...AND KJHW.

OUTLOOK...
THURSDAY NIGHT...VFR.
FRIDAY...VFR...MVFR IN PM SHOWERS.
SATURDAY...VFR/PSBL SHWRS.
SUNDAY...MVFR IN SNOW SHOWERS EAST OF THE LAKES...STRONG WINDS EARLY.
MONDAY...VFR...WITH SOME MVFR IN SNOW SHOWERS

&&

.MARINE...
GALE WARNINGS ON THE LAKES WILL CONTINUE INTO THE MORNING, THEN WILL
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL BE IN EFFECT UNTIL EVENING. TONIGHT FOR
LAKE ERIE AND THE UPPER NIAGARA RIVER AND BUFFALO HARBOR BUT HAVE
BEEN UPGRADED TO STORM WARNINGS FOR LAKE ONTARIO. GALE WARNINGS HAVE
ALSO BEEN HOISTED TONIGHT FOR THE ST LAWRENCE RIVER.

WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO SUBSIDE THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY AS THE
HIGH PRESSURE WILL GRADUALLY WORK ACROSS LAKE ONTARIO TO NEW ENGLAND.

ANOTHER STRONG WIND EVENT IS POSSIBLE SUNDAY.
