AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
703 AM EST WED DEC 16 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE IN THE CANADIAN MARITIMES WILL DRAW PROGRESSIVELY
COLDER AIR SOUTHWARD ACROSS OUR REGION. THIS WILL PRODUCE BANDS OF
LAKE EFFECT SNOW SOUTHEAST OF LAKES ERIE AND ONTARIO TODAY. A COLD
FRONT WILL DROP ACROSS THE REGION TONIGHT...BRINGING A ROUND OF SNOW
SHOWERS...THEN HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS ACROSS THE REGION LATE
THURSDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
THE LATEST RADAR MOSAICS CONTINUE TO SHOW WEAK...MULTIPLE SNOW BANDS
FORMING EAST OF LAKE ERIE...WHILE THE BANDS OFF LAKE ONTARIO ARE
LIFTING SLOWLY TO THE NORTH AND ARE SHOWING SIGNS OF CONSOLIDATING
OVER NORTHERN CAYUGA AND SOUTHERN OSWEGO COUNTIES.

THE WEAKER BANDS OFF LAKE ERIE ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN IN PLACE
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN TIER FOR THE REST OF THE DAY AS AMPLE MOISTURE
REMAINS TRAPPED BELOW THE SUBSIDENCE INVERSION WITH ADEQUATE SNOW
CRYSTAL GROWTH WITHIN THE CLOUD BEARING LAYER. BASED ON THESE
TRENDS...WILL JUST INDICATE ANOTHER 1 TO 2 INCHES ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN TIER.

FOR LAKE ONTARIO...THE SITUATION IS A LITTLE MORE COMPLICATED. THE
MULTIPLE SNOW BANDS ARE FORECAST TO SHIFT FARTHER TO THE NORTH LATER
THIS MORNING AND DURING THE AFTERNOON AS THE BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS
BACK A LITTLE MORE IN ADVANCE OF A SECONDARY SURFACE TROUGH/ARCTIC
FRONT THAT IS FORECAST TO DROP SOUTH ACROSS THE LAKE LATE THIS
AFTERNOON. THE NAM12 925 WIND AND OMEGA FIELDS DEPICT THIS NORTHWARD
DRIFT VERY WELL...ESPECIALLY BETWEEN 15Z AND 18Z. IF THIS TREND
VERIFIES...THE LONGER FETCH ACROSS THE LAKE WILL COME INTO PLAY AND
IMPACT OSWEGO AND SOUTHERN LEWIS COUNTIES WITH STEADIER LAKE SNOWS.
FOR NOW...WILL MAINTAIN THE LAKE EFFECT SNOW ADVISORY THAT IS IN
PLACE ACROSS THESE TWO COUNTIES...BUT ACCUMULATIONS COULD BE HIGHER
IF THE BAND REMAINS INTACT OVER THIS AREA LONGER THAN EXPECTED...OR
AN UPSTREAM CONNECTION TO LAKE HURON IS ESTABLISHED...AS SUGGESTED
BY THE NAM12.

AS THE AFOREMENTIONED FRONT REACHES THE SOUTH SHORE OF LAKE ONTARIO
DURING THE EARLY EVENING...EXPECT THE SNOW BAND TO SHIFT SOUTH AND
IMPACT ALL THE COUNTIES BORDERING THE SOUTH OF THE LAKE WITH A QUICK
1 TO 2 INCHES OF SNOW. SLIGHTLY HIGHER ACCUMULATIONS ARE POSSIBLE
FROM MONROE TO NORTHERN CAYUGA COUNTIES AS THE WINDS SHIFT TO THE
WEST NORTHWEST BEHIND THE FRONT.

AFTER THE FRONT LOOSES ITS CONNECTION TO LAKE ONTARIO...EXPECT THE
SNOW TO WEAKEN A BIT AS THE FRONT CONTINUES TO DROP SOUTH ACROSS THE
REST OF THE STATE EARLY TONIGHT. STILL EXPECT MORE LAKE SNOWS TO SET
UP SOUTHEAST OF LAKE ONTARIO BEHIND THE FRONT...BUT THE SHORTER
FETCH AND LOWERING SUBSIDENCE INVERSION SHOULD HELP TO KEEP
ACCUMULATIONS BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA.

THE REST OF THE AREA WILL SEE SOME SNOW WITH THE PASSING
TROUGH...BUT EXPECT LOWER ACCUMULATIONS COMPARED TO AREAS CLOSER TO
LAKE ONTARIO.

IN TERMS OF TEMPERATURES DURING THIS PERIOD...READINGS WILL RANGE
FROM THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 20S TODAY...THEN DIP INTO THE TEENS ACROSS
MOST LOCATIONS TONIGHT. THE MAIN EXCEPTION TONIGHT WILL BE EAST OF
LAKE ONTARIO WHERE TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO DIP INTO THE SINGLE
DIGITS ACCOMPANIED BY WIND CHILLS IN THE -10F TO -15F RANGE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
ON THURSDAY...THE ARCTIC FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL STALL ROUGHLY FROM
BUFFALO SOUTHEASTWARD TO NEW YORK CITY. BY THIS TIME...THE LOW IN
THE CANADIAN MARITIMES WILL BE WEAKENING...WITH THE FRONT REALLY
LOOSING ITS PUSH...LEAVING A SHALLOW LAYER OF VERY COLD AIR IN ITS
WAKE. MOST BUFKIT SOUNDINGS SHOW A SHARP INVERSION FROM 2000 TO 3000
FT. FOR LAKE EFFECT...THIS WILL LIMIT THE VERTICAL GROWTH...BUT WITH
-17C AIR AT 925 MB SOUTHEAST OF LAKE ONTARIO...IT WILL BE COLD
ENOUGH FOR SUFFICIENT SNOW GROWTH. THE SAME CANNOT BE SAID FOR LAKE
ERIE...WITH TEMPERATURES ONLY AROUND -10C BENEATH THE
INVERSION...RESULTING IN A MORE MARGINAL CASE. FOCUSING ON LAKE
ONTARIO...A THICK LAKE-INDUCED CAPE OF AROUND 400 J/KG IS
EVIDENT...IN A NW FLOW BEHIND THE FRONT. THE MAIN LIMITING FACTOR
WILL BE THE DRIER ARCTIC AIR WORKING IN AND WEAKENING WINDS. WILL GO WITH
LIKELY POPS...CENTERED ROUGHLY ON WAYNE COUNTY ON THURSDAY...WITH
DIMINISHING POPS LATE IN THE DAY. ANY SNOW THAT DOES DEVELOP SHOULD
HAVE A GOOD FLUFF FACTOR WITH 1 TO 3 INCHES A MIDDLE OF THE ROAD
FORECAST SOUTHEAST OF ONTARIO. EXPECT THE BAND TO STRUGGLE TO SPREAD
VERY FAR FROM THE LAKE GIVEN THE LOW INVERSION...WITH LIMITED
POTENTIAL FOR DEVELOPMENT OFF OF LAKE ERIE AS WELL. THE INVERSION
WILL LIKELY TRAP LINGERING LOW MOISTURE...WITH MORE CLOUDS THAN SUN
EXPECTED. WITH THE ARCTIC FRONT STRADDLING THE REGION...EXPECT HIGH
TEMPERATURES TO RANGE SIGNIFICANTLY FROM THE UPPER 20S IN THE
SOUTHERN TIER...TO THE TEENS EAST...AND EVEN THE SINGLE DIGITS
POSSIBLE IN THE COLDEST NORTH COUNTRY LOCATIONS.

FOR THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY...SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD
ACROSS THE REGION...WITH THE AXIS GRADUALLY DRIFTING TO THE EAST
FRIDAY NIGHT. WHILE HIGH PRESSURE TYPICALLY BRINGS FAIR WEATHER TO
THE REGION...THERE IS ONE ISSUE TO CONTEND WITH. THE
NAM/EUROPEAN/UKMET/GEM ALL PRODUCE LIGHT QPF IN WESTERN PORTIONS OF
THE STATE. A CLOSER LOOK SHOWS AN AREA OF WEAK WARM AIR ADVECTION
ALONG THE EXITING FRONTAL BOUNDARY. WHILE DYNAMICS ARE NOT TO
IMPRESSIVE...THE MODEL CONSENSUS...AND THE FACT THAT ONLY LIGHT QPFS
CAN PRODUCE SNOW FALL IN THIS VERY COLD ENVIRONMENT...WILL ADD
CHANCE POPS IN WESTERN SECTIONS. TEMPERATURES WILL AGAIN
RANGE...COLDEST TO THE EAST. BASICALLY USE A BIAS CORRECTED BLEND
WEIGHTING THE SREF AND TWEAKING DOWN WHERE ARCTIC AIR IS EXPECTED TO
BE BEST ENTRENCHED. SKY CONDITIONS WILL VARY...BUT GENERALLY MORE
OPTIMISTIC EAST...WHERE THE THE HIGH WILL BE MORE FIRMLY IN CONTROL.

THE STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY BECOMES MORE EAST-WEST ORIENTED ON THE
SOUTHERN FRINGE OF THE CWA FRIDAY NIGHT. WILL CONTINUE MINIMAL
CHANCE POPS...AS MODEL CONSENSUS CONTINUES TO SUGGEST SOME LIGHT
SNOW SHOWER ACTIVITY ASSOCIATED WITH THE BOUNDARY.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
FOR THIS UPCOMING WEEKEND...WILL INTRODUCE CHANCE POPS FOR
SATURDAY...MAINTAINING CONTINUITY AS THE STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND
UPPER TROF MAY BE ENOUGH TO PRODUCE SNOW SHOWER ACTIVITY FOR SOME.
BEYOND THIS...THERE REALLY ISN/T MUCH TO HANG YOUR HAT ON OTHER THAN
AN PERSISTENT UPPER TROF IN EASTERN CANADA. BASICALLY MAINTAIN GOING
FORECAST WHICH HAS POPS IN THE CHANCE TO SLIGHT CHANCE RANGE THROUGH
THE PERIOD.

SUNDAY WILL MOSTLY LIKELY BE DRY AS WELL AS THE LOW STRENGTHENS
ALONG THE CAROLINA COAST BUT WE WILL INCLUDE CHANCE POPS DUE TO
MODEL UNCERTAINTY AND CYCLONIC FLOW WITH AN UPPER TROUGH REMAINING
ACROSS EASTERN CANADA.

THE AFOREMENTIONED LOW IS FORECAST TO MOVE TO NEAR THE CANADIAN
MARITIMES MONDAY AND TUESDAY. TEMPERATURES SHOULD STAY SLIGHTLY
BELOW NORMAL IN THE NORTHWEST FLOW ON THE WEST SIDE OF THIS SYSTEM
BUT NO IMPORTANT WEATHER APPEARS TO BE ON THE HORIZON. WE WILL CARRY
CHANCE POPS FOR BOTH DAYS BECAUSE OF THE NORTHWEST CYCLONIC FLOW.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
COLDER AIR DEEPENING ACROSS NEW YORK STATE IS GENERATING LAKE SNOWS
SOUTHEAST OF THE LAKES EARLY THIS MORNING. EXPECT RELATIVELY
WEAK...MULTIPLE SNOW BANDS TO REMAIN INTACT ACROSS THE SOUTHERN TIER
THROUGHOUT THE DAY. VFR CIGS EARLY THIS MORNING WILL LOWER TO MVFR
AS LIMITED DAYTIME HEATING LIFTS THE MOIST AIR THAT IS ALREADY IN
PLACE.

THE MULTIPLE BANDS OFF LAKE ONTARIO WILL LIFT SLOWLY TO THE NORTH
AND CONSOLIDATE INTO A SINGLE...BETTER ORGANIZED BAND THAT IS
EXPECTED TO FOCUS MAINLY OVER OSWEGO AND SOUTHERN LEWIS COUNTIES
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. IFR TO LIFR CONDITIONS WILL BE COMMON WITHIN
THE HEART OF THIS SNOW BAND. OTHERWISE...EXPECT MVFR CONDITIONS IN
LIGHTER SNOW SHOWERS NORTH AND SOUTH OF THE MAIN SNOW BAND.

TOWARD EVENING...A SECONDARY COLD FRONT WILL DROP SOUTH OF LAKE
ONTARIO AND GENERATE A BURST OF SNOW WITH MVFR TO IFR...ESPECIALLY
ALONG THE SOUTH SHORE OF THE LAKE. THE SNOW WILL DIMINISH A BIT AS
THE FRONT CONTINUES TO PUSH SOUTH ACROSS THE AREA...BUT MVFR
CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL AT MOST TAF SITES THROUGH THE NIGHT AS
ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE REMAINS TRAPPED BELOW A LOWERING
INVERSION.

OUTLOOK...
THURSDAY...VFR/MVFR IN SNOW SHOWERS...ESP ESE OF LAKES WHERE SOME
IFR IS POSSIBLE IN LAKE SNOWS.
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...MAINLY VFR.
SUNDAY...MAINLY VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
SCA MAINTAINED ON THE WATERS...WITH THE STRONGEST FLOW ON LAKE
ONTARIO TODAY...WITH WINDS APPROACHING 30 KTS. EXPECT A BRIEF
INCREASE AND SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST IMMEDIATELY BEHIND THE
PASSAGE AN ARCTIC BOUNDARY ON LAKE ONTARIO THIS EVENING. AFTER
THIS...WINDS SHOULD DIMINISH...WITH THE A GENERALLY QUIET PERIOD
EXPECTED ON THE LAKES THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
