Area forecast discussion, Oct 27, 3:44 PM EDT, 9 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
344 PM EDT MON OCT 27 2008
.SYNOPSIS...
A NORTHWEST FLOW OF UNSEASONABLY COLD AIR WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE
GREAT LAKES REGION THROUGH MIDWEEK AND CONTINUE TO PRODUCE LAKE
EFFECT PRECIPITATION. LOW PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP OFF THE
NEW JERSEY COAST AND BRING ADDITIONAL RAIN AND SNOW TO THE EASTERN
SECTIONS TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER
THE LOWER LAKES FOR THE END OF THE WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
WEAK LAKE EFFECT RAIN OFF LAKE ERIE WILL DRIFT SOUTH THIS EVENING
AND BECOME ESTABLISHED OVER CHAUTAUQUA AND CATTARAUGUS COUNTIES AS
WINDS SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST. TEMPERATURES AT 850 ARE ONLY -2 TO -4
SO IT SHOULD BE MAINLY RAIN AND AMOUNTS SHOULD BE LIGHT. SOME SNOW
ACCUMULATION IS POSSIBLE LATE TONIGHT OVER HIGHER TERRAIN, BUT IT
SHOULD BE LESS THAN AN INCH. OFF LAKE ONTARIO SOME LAKE EFFECT
RAIN IS POSSIBLE AS WINDS SHIFT TO NORTHERLY.
THE BIG STORY IS THE LOW DEVELOPING ALONG THE COAST WHICH SHOULD
SPREAD RAIN IN TONIGHT FROM WAYNE COUNTY EASTWARD...WITH A MIX OF
SNOW OVER HIGHER ELEVATIONS EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO. TEMPERATURES
SHOULD REMAIN WARM ENOUGH THROUGH 18Z FOR MAINLY RAIN, BUT A MIX IS
POSSIBLE AT HIGHER ELEVATIONS.
&&
.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
ACROSS THE WESTERN SECTIONS...THAT IS GENESEE VALLEY AND WEST...THE
VERY COLD NORTHWEST FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE LAKE EFFECT PRECIP.
850 TEMPS JUST COLD ENOUGH FOR SNOW TO MIX ACROSS THE HIGHER
ELEVATIONS OF THE WRN SOUTHERN TIER LATER TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY
MORNING AND AGAIN TUESDAY NIGHT/WEDNESDAY. RIDGING BEGINS BUILDING
IN WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON WITH WAA ALOFT SHUTTING DOWN THE LAKE EFFECT.
THE MAIN WEATHER FEATURE THROUGH THIS PERIOD HOWEVER IS THE DEEP
COASTAL LOW FORECAST TO DEVELOP OFF THE JERSEY COAST TONIGHT AND
DEEPEN AS IT LIFTS NORTH ACROSS CAPE COD AND NEW HAMPSHIRE TO QUEBEC
WEDNESDAY. THE LARGE AREA OF PRECIPITATION ASSOCIATED WITH THIS LOW
WILL SPREAD ACROSS THE EASTERN SECTIONS WITH THE COLD AIR DEEPENING
ENOUGH TO SEE ALL SNOW ACROSS THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE TUG HILL
BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON. WILL BE ISSUING A WINTER STORM WATCH FOR
TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT FOR JEFFERSON LEWIS AND OSWEGO COUNTIES.
ADVISORIES MAY BE NEEDED FOR ADJACENT COUNTIES...BUT WILL LET THE
LATER RUNS DELINEATE ADVISORY/WARNING AREAS.
AS THE LOW CONTINUES TO LIFT NORTH WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THE NORTHWEST
FLOW WILL AGAIN ALLOW FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF LAKE EFFECT SNOWS
SOUTHEAST OF LAKE ONTARIO THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...THE LONG-WAVE PATTERN THAT WAS IN PLACE
EARLIER IN THE WEEK WILL BREAK DOWN SOME WITH THE WESTERN US RIDGE
WEAKENING AND MOVING INTO THE CENTRAL US WHILE THE DEEP UPPER LEVEL
LOW OVER QUEBEC SIMILARLY WEAKENS WITH A RESIDUAL TROUGH OVER NEW
ENGLAND AND OFF THE EASTERN US COAST. AT THE SURFACE...HIGH
PRESSURE WILL MOVE UP THE APPALACHIANS AND BE THE DOMINANT FEATURE
FOR THE END OF THE WEEK. THIS WILL RESULT IN TEMPERATURES
REBOUNDING TO NEAR NORMAL LEVELS AND A HIGH CONFIDENCE FORECAST FOR
DRY WEATHER FOR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.
ON HALLOWEEN...THERE WILL BE A COLD FRONT APPROACHING THE AREA AS AN
UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE TRIES TO PASS THROUGH THE UPSTREAM RIDGE.
THEREFORE WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP A THREAT OF SHOWERS IN THE
FORECAST...ALTHOUGH THE TIMING ACCORDING TO THE CURRENT FORECAST
MODELS WOULD INDICATE THAT ANY PRECIPITATION WILL OFF UNTIL WELL
AFTER DARK. IT IS A BIT TOO EARLY TO HAVE HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TRYING
TO TIME SUCH A FEATURE HOWEVER.
ONCE THE COLD FRONT MOVES EAST OF THE REGION...EXPECT ANOTHER
REBUILDING RIDGE FOR DRY WEATHER FOR MOST IF NOT ALL OF
SATURDAY...LASTING INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.
&&
.AVIATION /20Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS WILL BE FOUND ACROSS THE REGION TODAY. LAKE
EFFECT RAIN HAS DWINDLED, BUT THERE WILL STILL BE SOME MVFR
CEILINGS IN AREAS DOWNWIND OF LAKE ERIE. THE LAKE SHOWERS/LOWER
CEILINGS WILL SETTLE TO THE SOUTH TOWARDS OFF LAKE ERIE THIS
AFTERNOON WITH MVFR TO OCCASIONALLY IFR CEILINGS FOR JAMESTOWN FOR
THE AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT.
FOR TONIGHT...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL OVER THE REGION. A
CHILLY NORTH TO NORTHWEST FLOW WILL KEEP ANY LAKE INDUCED MVFR
CIGS/VSBYS CONFINED TO SITES SUCH AS KJHW...ALTHOUGH MVFR CONDITIONS
WILL NOT BE OUT OF THE QUESTION FOR KROC.
OUTLOOK...
TUESDAY...MVFR/AREAS OF IFR IN LAKE EFFECT RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS.
WEDNESDAY...MVFR/AREAS IFR IN LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS SE OF THE
LAKES.
THURSDAY...VFR.
FRIDAY...OCCASIONAL MVFR IN SHOWERS.
&&
.MARINE...
THE WINDS WILL SUBSIDE EARLY TONIGHT OVER LAKE ONTARIO AS A WEAK SFC
WAVE WILL PASS OVER THE LAKE. THIS WILL ALLOW BOTH WINDS AND WAVES
TO TEMPORARILY DROP BELOW SMALL CRAFT CRITERIA...BUT THE SAME WILL
NOT HOLD TRUE FOR LAKE ERIE. WHILE THE WINDS WILL BECOME NORTHERLY
ON BOTH LAKES...THE NORTHERLY WINDS WILL BE MODERATE TO FRESH ON
LAKE ERIE WITH WAVES AVERAGING 3 TO 5 FEET.
NORTHWEST WINDS WILL INCREASE AGAIN DURING TUESDAY AND MAY REACH
GALE FORCE ON MUCH OF LAKE ONTARIO IN RESPONSE TO THE STRONG
SURFACE LOW LIFTING NORTH ACROSS NEW ENGLAND INTO QUEBEC. THIS
LOW WILL TIGHTEN THE PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE LOWER GREAT
LAKES...AND DRAW DOWN MUCH COLDER AIR WHICH WILL STEEPEN THE LOW
LEVEL LAPSE RATES OVER THE WARM LAKE WATERS AND ALLOW FOR EFFICIENT
MOMENTUM TRANSFER OF HIGHER WINDS DOWN TO THE SURFACE. A GALE WATCH
WILL BE ISSUED FOR TUESDAY NIGHT. WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO DIMINISH
THURSDAY AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE REGION.
&&
