AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
732 PM EST WED JAN 7 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE EAST AND BECOME ABSORBED BY A COASTAL STORM
OFF MAINE TONIGHT. STRONG WINDS AND SNOW WILL DEVELOP FROM WEST AS
COLDER AIR MOVES IN BEHIND THE LOW...WITH HEAVIER LAKE SNOWS
SOUTHEAST OF THE LAKES THURSDAY INTO EARLY FRIDAY. ANOTHER LOW
PASSING ACROSS THE LAKES WILL PROVIDE THE NEXT GENERAL SNOWFALL
FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY MORNING.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
COMPLEX WEATHER WILL CONTINUE TONIGHT AND THURSDAY AS THE AREA
TRANSITIONS FROM A GENERAL COVERAGE WINTER WEATHER SCENARIO TO A
LAKE EFFECT SNOW PATTERN.

A BROAD UPPER TROUGH ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES AND ENTIRE NORTHEAST
WILL CONTINUE TO AFFECT THE AREA WITH WINTRY WEATHER. THE SURFACE
LOW PASSING NORTH OF LAKE ONTARIO WILL MERGE WITH A DEVELOPING NEW
ENGLAND LOW TONIGHT...BUT LEAVE ITS TRAILING TROUGH ACROSS THE
EASTERN GREAT LAKES. COLDER AIR FOLLOWING THE DEPARTING LOW WILL
BRING LAKE EFFECT SNOW TO THE EASTERN SHORES OF LAKES ERIE AND
ONTARIO THIS EVENING AND MAINTAIN THE LAKE SNOW THROUGH THE
NIGHT...EVEN THROUGH MUCH OF THURSDAY AND INTO FRIDAY. A SHORT WAVE
ROUNDING THE BASE OF THE UPPER TROUGH WILL BRING A GENERAL SNOW TO
THE REGION WITH ANOTHER 1 TO 3 INCHES OF SNOW OUTSIDE OF THE LAKE
EFFECT AREAS. THIS IS NOT ENOUGH SNOW TO WARRANT CONTINUATION OF THE
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY BUT THE TIGHTENING PRESSURE GRADIENT ALONG
THE REMNANT SURFACE TROUGH WILL KICK UP WINDS IN THE 20 TO 25 MPH
SUSTAINED RANGE WITH WIND GUSTS NEAR 40 OVER MUCH OF WESTERN AND
CENTRAL NY...EVEN HIGHER GUSTS OVER THE HILLS OF THE SOUTHERN TIER
THIS EVENING AND ESPECIALLY OVERNIGHT. THE LIGHT SNOW WILL BE
WORSENED BY THE GUSTY WINDS...NOT SUFFICIENTLY TO MEET THE CRITERIA
FOR EITHER A WIND ADVISORY NOR A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY...BUT STILL
A RAW AND BLUSTERY WINTER NIGHT IN STORE.

CONDITIONS WILL BE FAVORABLE FOR PERSISTENT LAKE EFFECT SNOW...OF
SUFFICIENT QUANTITY FOR LAKE SNOW WARNINGS AND ADVISORIES. THE
CURRENT WINTER STORM WARNING OVER JEFFERSON AND LEWIS COUNTIES WILL
TRANSITION TO A LAKE EFFECT SNOW WARNING...AND WILL BE JOINED BY
OSWEGO COUNTY IN THE LAKE SNOW WARNING. THIS WILL RUN THROUGH THE
NIGHT AS 850MB TEMPS FALL TO -14C AND LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE ALONG
THE SURFACE TROUGH COMBINES WITH THE DIRECT IMPINGEMENT OF WINDS ON
THE TUG HILL PLATEAU TO PRODUCE SNOWFALL TOTALS OF 10 TO 12 INCHES
TONIGHT. OFF LAKE ERIE...SIMILAR CONDITIONS WILL EXIST WITH THE
WINDS ORIENTED INTO THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF THE SOUTHERN TIER AND THE
CHAUTAUQUA RIDGE WITH SNOW TOTALS OF 8 TO 10 INCHES EXPECTED. THE
HILLS OF WYOMING AND SOUTHERN ERIE COUNTIES WILL ALSO INTERCEPT A
FAIR AMOUNT OF SNOW WITH 3 TO 6 INCHES EXPECTED...THUS A LAKE SNOW
ADVISORY IN EFFECT FOR THOSE TWO ZONES.

THE LAKE EFFECT WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THURSDAY DURING THE DAYTIME
HOURS...SHIFTING TO THE SOUTH AND SETTLING INTO THE SOUTHEAST CORNER
OF LAKE ONTARIO...AND MAINLY OVER CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY OFF LAKE ERIE.
THE MID LEVELS DRY SLIGHTLY...BUT THE UPPER TROUGH WILL BE SLOW TO
LEAVE THE REGION. 850MB TEMPS OF -12C TO -14C WILL ALSO PERSIST AND
THE LAKE SNOW WARNINGS WILL LIKELY NEED TO BE RECONFIGURED AND
ADJUSTED TO LAKE SNOW ADVISORIES. CLOUDY SKIES AND A BROAD COVERAGE
LIGHT SNOW IS EXPECTED FOR THE AREAS AWAY FROM THE INFLUENCE OF LAKE
EFFECT THROUGH THE DAY ON THURSDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
BROAD WRAPAROUND MOISTURE RETREATS THURSDAY EVENING, BUT A COLD
NORTHWEST FLOW WILL PERSIST WITH LAKE SNOWS CONTINUING OVER THE
CHAUTAUQUA RIDGE AND SOUTHEAST OF LAKE ONTARIO. RIDGING BUILDS IN
FRIDAY CUTTING OFF THE LAKE ERIE SNOWS BY MID DAY, BUT THEY COULD
PERSIST INTO FRIDAY AFTERNOON SOUTHEAST OF LAKE ONTARIO. MOST OTHER
AREAS WILL SEE A BREAK AND EVEN SOME SUNSHINE ON FRIDAY. 850 MB
TEMPS OF -15C WILL KEEP READINGS BELOW FREEZING.

WARM FRONTAL MOISTURE SPREADS OVER THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT AS A
SURFACE LOW DEVELOPS OVER THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. THE LOW IS
FORECAST TO MOVE ACROSS SOUTHERN PENNSYLVANIA ON SATURDAY UNDER A
VIGOROUS UPPER TROUGH. FOR SNOW AMOUNTS WE HAVE FOLLOWED THE GFS
BRINGS THE HEAVIER SNOW ACROSS THE SOUTHERN TIER, WHICH LOOKS
REASONABLE GIVEN THE TRACK OF THE LOW, WHILE THE ECMWF BRINGS A BAND
FURTHER NORTH ACROSS LAKE ONTARIO, WHICH SEEMS ANOMALOUS. THERE IS A
GOOD CHANCE OF A SWATH OF 6+ INCHES IN THE HEAVIEST SNOW. STAY
TUNED.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
COLD ADVECTION BEHIND THE LOW BRINGS ANOTHER ROUND OF LAKE SNOWS
SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY WITH BRISK WINDS, THEN ANOTHER LOW MOVES
IN MONDAY UNDER A DEVELOPING CUT OFF UPPER LOW AND PERSISTS IN THE
AREA TUESDAY WITH A GOOD CHANCE OF GENERAL LIGHT SNOW BOTH MONDAY
AND TUESDAY. THE GFS SHOWS 850 MB TEMPS TO -25 WEDNESDAY, WHILE
THE ECMWF HAS ABOUT -20...THE RESULT...IT WILL BE COLD WITH MORE
LAKE SNOWS WEDNESDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
DEEP LOW PRESSURE CENTERED JUST NORTH OF LAKE ONTARIO IS MERGING
WITH ANOTHER LOW CENTERED OVER NORTHERN NEW YORK THIS EVENING.
PRECIPITATION HAS CHANGED TO SNOW ACROSS THE CWA.

COLD AIR WILL CONTINUE TO DEEPEN IN THE WAKE OF THIS LOW WITH
SYNOPTIC SNOW CHANGING TO LAKE EFFECT SNOW. THE LAKE SNOW WILL
START NORTHEAST OF THE LAKES AND SLOWLY SHIFT SOUTH AS THE
STEERING WINDS VEER. IFR CIGS AND VSBYS WILL BE PREVALENT IN THE
LAKE SNOW AREAS...MVFR ELSEWHERE. BANDS OF LAKE EFFECT SNOW
WILL PRODUCE LIFR CONDITIONS JUST SOUTH OF BUFFALO AND WATERTOWN
THROUGH MUCH OF THURSDAY.

OUTLOOK...
FRIDAY...MAINLY VFR
SATURDAY...IFR IN SNOW.
SUNDAY...MVFR WITH AREAS IFR IN LAKE EFFECT SNOW.
MONDAY...MVFR TO IFR IN SNOW.

&&

.MARINE...
WESTERLIES WILL INCREASE TO NEAR 30 KNOTS LATE TONIGHT BEHIND THE
EXITING LOW, THEN SUBSIDE SLOWLY AND VEER SLIGHTLY TO THE NORTHWEST
ON THURSDAY. THEY WILL LIGHTEN FURTHER WITH THE APPROACH OF A RIDGE
ON THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY. WINDS WILL INCREASE AGAIN FOLLOW THE
NEXT STORM SYSTEM LATER SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.

&&

.CLIMATE...
IF YOU THOUGHT THAT PARTS OF DECEMBER WERE COLD...WAIT UNTIL NEXT
WEEK. THE COLDEST AIRMASS OF THE SEASON WILL POUR ACROSS ONTARIO AND
AND MUCH OF THE GREAT LAKES REGION ON TUESDAY AND WILL GENERALLY
REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH MUCH OF THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK. THIS WILL
MEAN THAT TEMPERATURES ACROSS OUR REGION WILL AVERAGE WELL BELOW
NORMAL. SOME DETAILS...

FOR MUCH OF DECEMBER...A HIGH AMPLITUDE FLOW WAS FOUND OVER NORTH
AMERICA WITH GENERAL TROUGHINESS CENTERED OVER THE PLAINS AND GREAT
LAKES. ON A LARGER SCALE...ONE COULD SEE THAT THE COLDEST AIRMASS IN
THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE WAS CENTERED OVER EASTERN SIBERIA WITH
ANOTHER COLD CORE OVER WESTERN CANADA. SINCE THAT TIME...THE CORE OF
COLDEST NORTHERN HEMISPHERIC AIR HAS BEEN BUILDING OVER ALASKA AND
THE YUKON. THIS IS PARTLY DUE TO A BUILDING RIDGE OVER EASTERN
SIBERIA...WHICH HAS TEMPORAILY DISPLACED THE COLDEST AIR INTO
ALASKA.

NOW...THE STAGE HAS BEEN SET FOR THIS BITTER COLD AIRMASS TO
MOVE EAST AND SOUTHEAST...ACROSS THE CANADIAN PRAIRIES TO EASTERN
CANADA AND THE GREAT LAKES. THIS AIRMASS FEATURES H925 AIR THAT HAS
AVERAGED SOME 10 TO 15 DEG C BELOW NORMAL DURING THE PAST FEW
DAYS...WHILE NORMALLY FRIGID SIBERIA HAS BEEN BASKING IN
TEMPERATURES THAT HAVE BEEN ABOUT 10 DEG C ABOVE NORMAL.

MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE...INCLUDING THE MAJORITY OF THE GEFS AND NAEFS
MEMBERS...ALONG WITH THE 12Z WED OPERATIONAL MODEL RUNS OF THE GFS
AND ECMWF...INDICATE THAT A DEEP VORTEX WILL DEVELOP EAST OF HUDSON
BAY EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE DEEP VORTEX (-3 STD)
WILL COMBINE WITH A STRONG WEST COAST RIDGE (POS PNA PATTERN) TO
ESSENTIALLY OPEN THE DOOR FOR A DIRECT DISCHARGE OF ARCTIC AIR OUT
OF THE YUKON AND ALASKA...RIGHT INTO EASTERN CANADA. WHILE THIS WILL
NOT BE A TRUE CROSS-POLAR FLOW...IT COULD BE JUST AS SIGNIFICANT.

AT THIS POINT THERE IS HIGH CONFIDENCE THAT H925 TEMPS WILL BE 3 STD
BELOW NORMAL OVER MUCH OF ONTARIO AND PROBABLY FOR OUR REGION FOR
THE MIDDLE AND LATTER PORTIONS OF NEXT WEEK...WHILE SITES FURTHER
NORTH IN CENT/NRN ONTARIO COULD BE AS MUCH AS 5 STD BELOW NORMAL.
THESE ARE VERY SIGNIFICANT DEPARTURES BOTTOM LINE...IT WILL BE
QUITE COLD ACROSS OUR REGION STARTING AT THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.
THIS WILL NO DOUBT LEAD TO SOME IMPRESSIVE LAKE SNOWS AS WELL.
