AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
253 PM EST SUN DEC 7 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
DEEP LOW PRESSURE THAT WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR WINTRY BLAST WILL
WITHDRAW NORTHEAST TOWARD NEWFOUNDLAND OVERNIGHT WHILE A RIDGE OF
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS EASTWARD ACROSS OUR REGION AND THE
APPALACHIANS. AS THE HIGH DRIFTS OFF THE COAST WE WILL SEE A MILDER
TREND INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING AS STRENGTHENING LOW PRESSURE ADVANCES
FROM THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY TO THE LOWER LAKES. ANOTHER BLAST OF
ARCTIC AIR WILL FOLLOW THIS SYSTEM THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
245 PM UPDATE...STRONG NORTHWEST FLOW OF UNSEASONABLY COLD AIR
CONTINUES TO SWEEP ACROSS OUR REGION IN THE WAKE OF THIS MORNINGS
COLD FRONT. AIRMASS IS NOT ONLY BRUTALLY COLD (MID AFTERNOON TEMPS
SOME 20 DEG BELOW NORMAL)...BUT VERY DRY AS ONLY A COUPLE OF NARROW
STREAMERS REMAIN...BOTH FROM LK HURON AND GEORGIAN BAY WITH VAST
MAJORITY OF THE AREA NOW DRY. MAIN STREAMER OF INTEREST IS OFF HURON
TO NEAR ERIE PA...BUT WITH WINDS EXPECTED TO VEER EVEN A BIT
MORE...THIS SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE FOR CHAUT COUNTY. WILL KEEP SOME
CHC POPS WRN SRN TIER AND NR LAKE ONTARIO FOR AWHILE THIS EVENING
FOR ANY REMNANT SNOW SHOWERS. WINDS WILL DIMINISH RAPIDLY AFTER DARK
AS RIDGE BUILDS IN...WITH FAIRLY CLEAR SKIES THIS EVENING ALLOWING
TEMPS TO PLUNGE FURTHER. WE SHOULD SEE SOME INCREASE IN HIGH/MIDDLE
CLOUD TWD MORNING WHICH WOULD STOP THE TEMP DROP...BUT LOWERED MINS
FROM GUIDANCE TO NEAR ZERO SRN TIER VALLEYS...WITH 10 TO 15 DEG
READINGS COMMON ON LAKE PLAIN AND CLOSER TO THE LAKES. FYI...RECORDS
MINS FOR 12/8 AT BOTH BUF AND ROC ARE +2 SET WAY BACK IN 1906.

ACROSS OUR EASTERN LAKE ONTARIO REGION...WE WILL STILL BE DEALING
WITH SOME PERSISTENT UPSLOPE LAKE ENHANCED SNOW FOR A FEW MORE HOURS
INTO THE EARLY EVENING...MAINLY ON THE TUG HILL...WHICH SHOULD THEN
CUT OFF TO A FEW MULT BAND STREAMERS THIS EVENING. ADVISORY
CONTINUES UNTIL 7 PM AND THIS LOOKS GOOD...WILL COVER ONGOING
ACTIVITY WITH SPECIAL WX STATEMENTS. EXPECT ACCUMULATING SNOW TO BE
OVER BY LATE EVENING. SKIES SHOULD PARTIALLY CLEAR LATER WITH
FRIGID TEMPS. THESE WILL DROP BELOW ZERO OVER MUCH OF JEFF AND LEWIS
COS...BUT WINDS SHOULD DIMINISH QUICKLY AFTER MIDNIGHT. WIND CHILLS
DROP TO -10 TO -15...NOT QUITE ADVISORY CRITERIA BUT BRUTAL FOR SO
EARLY IN THE SEASON.

MONDAY STARTS OUT TAME...BUT STRONG MID LEVEL SHORT WAVE PASSES BY
IN MORNING/MIDDAY...PROBABLY WITH NOTHING MORE THAN MID LEVEL CLOUD
AND A FLURRY OR TWO. THIS CLOUDINESS WAS ALREADY EVIDENT MOVING
TOWARD WESTERN LAKES THIS AFTERNOON. WARM ADVECTION REALLY SETS IN
ALOFT DURING THE AFTERNOON...ENOUGH TO HAVE AN AREA OF LGT SNOW
STREAK EASTWARD INTO THE AREA LATE IN AFTERNOON...WILL BRING CHC
POPS INTO WEST BEFORE 00Z. HELD TEMPS BACK A COUPLE DEG FROM
GUIDANCE WITH THE COLD START AND  CLOUDINESS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THIS PERIOD WILL BE QUITE CHALLENGING FOR TEMPERATURES AND PRECIP
TYPE AS MODEL SOLUTIONS ARE HUGELY DIFFERENT BY TUESDAY NIGHT AND
WEDNESDAY. FORECAST CONFIDENCE LEVELS WILL NOT BE HIGH BUT IT
APPEARS AT THIS TIME THAT THE 12Z GFS IS MUCH CLOSER TO HPC
GUIDANCE AND THE ECMWF. WE WILL BE GOING IN THAT DIRECTION.

FOR THE DETAILS...
MONDAY NIGHT WILL BE FAIRLY STRAIGHT FORWARD AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES
OFF THE COAST. WARM ADVECTION WILL BE IN PROGRESS AT ALL LEVELS WEST
OF THIS HIGH AND AS A RESULT ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE WILL LEAD TO LIKELY
POPS. FORTUNATELY PROJECTED SOUNDINGS WILL INDICATE SNOW AS PRECIP
TYPE FOR THE BULK OF THE AREA. THERE MAY BE A MIX OF RAIN OVER THE
SOUTHERN TIER LATE BUT MOST OF THE WARM FRONTAL PRECIP WILL BE NORTH
OF THAT AREA BY THAT TIME.

FOR TUESDAY...WARM ADVECTION WILL CONTINUE. BUYING THE GFS SOLUTION
WE WILL GO WITH CATEGORICAL POPS WITH RAIN AS THE PRECIP TYPE FOR
THE BULK OF THE CWA. PROJECTED SOUNDINGS FAVOR SNOW FOR THE EASTERN
LAKE ONTARIO COUNTIES THOUGH SO WE WILL GO SNOW UP THERE WITH RAIN
MIXING IN LATE.

TUESDAY NIGHT...CATEGORICAL RAIN FOR ALL WITH POSSIBLE QPF PROBLEMS
FOR THE WEST. TEMPERATURES WILL BE ON THE RISE OVERNIGHT. WE WILL
HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR POSSIBLE FLOOD PROBLEMS IN THE RECENT
LAKE EFFECT AREAS ESPECIALLY SOUTHEAST OF LAKE ERIE.

WEDNESDAY WILL BE A TRANSITION DAY AS THE GFS DEPICTED DEEP LOW
MOVES NORTHEAST. WE WILL GO WITH EARLY MORNING HIGHS WEST AND MIDDAY
HIGHS EAST FOLLOWED BY MUCH COLDER. RAIN WILL LIKELY MIX WITH SNOW
LATE FOR WESTERN ZONES. REMEMBER THAT TIMING IS STILL VERY MUCH IN
QUESTION CONSIDERING THE DIFFERING MODEL SOLUTIONS.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
MUCH COLDER AIR BUILDS OVER THE AREA WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY IN
THE WAKE OF THE DEEP LOW. ON A NORTHWESTERLY FLOW 850 MB
TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO DROP TO MINUS 20C BY MIDDAY THURSDAY.
THIS WILL LEAD TO PLUMES OF LAKE EFFECT SNOW BUT CONSIDERING THE
STEERING WINDS WE WILL HAVE MULTIPLE PLUMES ORIENTED NORTHWEST TO
SOUTHEAST.
 THIS WILL HAVE TO BE WATCHED FOR POSSIBLE HEADLINES.

THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY COULD TURN OUT INTERESTING TOO AS THE
ARCTIC AIR REMAINS ENTRENCHED OVER OUR AREA AND STEERING WINDS BACK
IN RESPONSE TO HIGH PRESSURE TRACKING TO OUR SOUTH.

WARM ADVECTION RETURNS OVER THE WEEKEND AS THE HIGH MOVES OFF THE
COAST.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
SUBSIDENCE ASSOCIATED WITH AN AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE JUST TO THE
SOUTH AND WEST OF THE REGION WILL LOWER THE INVERSION AND COUPLED
WITH DRIER AIR ALOFT LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE TO
DIMINISH THIS EVENING. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL ALSO SLACKEN
ACROSS THE REGION AS THIS HIGH ADVANCES EASTWARD ENDING THE WIND
GUSTS ACROSS THE REGION.

FLIGHT CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE TO VFR ACROSS THE REGION THIS
EVENING...EXCEPT FOR KJHW WHERE LINGERING SNOW SHOWERS WILL LEAD TO
IFR/MVFR THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT. VFR FLIGHT CONDITIONS ACROSS ALL
TERMINALS TOMORROW DURING THE DAY WITH HIGH CLOUDS AND SOME BUILDING
MID LEVEL CLOUDS AHEAD OF OUR NEXT SYSTEM.

OUTLOOK...
MONDAY NIGHT...MVFR IN RAIN.
TUESDAY...MVFR IN RAIN AND SNOW.
WEDNESDAY...MVFR/IFR IN RAIN AND SNOW.
THURSDAY...MVFR/IFR IN LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS SE OF THE LAKES
FRIDAY...MVFR/IFR IN LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS SE AND THEN E OF THE LAKES.

&&

.MARINE...
THE PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE LOWER LAKES REGION WILL RELAX
OVERNIGHT AND MONDAY WHILE DEEP LOW PRESSURE WITHDRAWS NORTHEAST
TOWARD NEWFOUNDLAND AND HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST. GALE
WARNINGS WILL BE ALLOWED TO EXPIRE ON TIME. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES
WILL THEN BE HOISTED FOR SEVERAL HOURS THEREAFTER UNTIL WAVES SUBSIDE.

WINDS WILL BE ON THE INCREASE ONCE AGAIN BY MIDWEEK AS ANOTHER DEEP
LOW IS FORECAST TO ADVANCE NORTHEAST FROM THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY.
