AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
631 PM EST THU DEC 10 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
THE MAJOR STORM SYSTEM THAT AFFECTED MORE THAN HALF OF THE NATION
WAS CONTINUING TO WITHDRAW NORTHEAST FROM QUEBEC THIS AFTERNOON AND
IT WILL CONTINUE TO SLOWLY LOSE ITS GRIP ON OUR AREA IN TERMS OF
WINDS SPEEDS DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. UNFORTUNATELY THOUGH
THE COLD WEST NORTHWEST FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE BANDS OF
SIGNIFICANT LAKE EFFECT SNOW RIGHT INTO SATURDAY. THE AREAS THAT
WILL BE MOST FAVORED WILL BE THE TRADITIONAL SNOW BELTS EAST
SOUTHEAST OF BOTH LAKES.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
...630 PM UPDATE...
INTENSE BAND OFF LAKE ERIE HAS MOVED LITTLE THE PAST HOUR...BUT
SHOULD RESUME A SOUTHWARD DRIFT AFTER 8 PM PER RADAR SIGNATURES
OFF ERIE PA AS SHORT WAVE PASSES. THIS BAND NOW HUGGING THE
LAKESHORE FROM DUNKIRK TO ANGOLA...WITH VERY DISTINCT NORTHERN
EDGE FROM NEAR RALPH WILSON STADIUM TO ALDEN TO BATAVIA TO
HENRIETTA. SNOWFALL RATES OF 1-2 INCHES PER HOUR WITHIN THIS BAND.
GRIDS HAVE THIS WELL HANDLED. ALSO A PESKY SECOND BAND DEVELOPING
ALONG NORTH SHORE OF LK ERIE BUT APPEARS TO BE JUST CELLULAR AND
WILL STAY JUST SOUTH OF BUF. OFF ONTARIO...INTENSE BAND JUST
PASSED SOUTH OF WATERTOWN AND WILL CENTER OVER CNTRL JEFF AND NRN
LEWIS COS. THIS WILL STA IN PLACE WITH PRODIGIOUS AMTS OVER TUG
HILL.

DID TWEAK GRIDS TO ACCOUNT FOR COLDER TEMPS. WILL MAINTAIN ALL
FLAGS AT THIS TIME. ERIE ACTIVITY HAS WEAKENED OVER SRN MONROE
BUT WILL HOLD ONTO WRNG TILL 03Z DUE TO BLOWING SNOW AND HAZARDOUS
CONDITIONS. A RARE THING FOR LK ERIE TO CAUSE SO MUCH SNOW IN
METRO ROCHESTER. PREV DISC FOLLOWS...

INTENSE LAKE SNOWS WILL BE THE BIG STORY THROUGH THE NEAR TERM
PERIOD.

FROM A SYNOPTIC STANDPOINT...DEEP LOW PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE
OUT INTO THE CANADIAN MARITIMES TONIGHT...WITH DEEP/MOIST CYCLONIC
FLOW CONTINUING OVER THE GREAT LAKES REGION THROUGH THE PERIOD.
OUTSIDE OF LAKE EFFECT AREAS...EXPECT AN AREA OF SNOW SHOWERS TO

SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH FRIDAY...AND THIS ARE
MAY OCCASIONALLY SEE BATCHES OF MORE CONCENTRATED SNOW SHOWERS MOVE
THROUGH AS AN EASTWARD EXTENSION OF GEORGIAN BAY LAKE EFFECT SNOW.

OFF LAKE ERIE...
BY LATER THIS EVENING THE BAND SHOULD SETTLE SOUTHWARD INTO THE
MORE DISTANT SOUTH TOWNS EAST INTO WYOMING COUNTY AS A 700MB
SHORTWAVE PASSES THROUGH THE REGION AND VEERS THE WINDS MORE
WESTERLY. FINALLY OVERNIGHT...EXPECT THE BAND TO SETTLE INTO THE
MORE TRADITIONAL SKI COUNTRY SNOWBELT...FOCUSING ON THE BOSTON
HILLS EAST TO WYOMING COUNTY AND ALSO THE NORTHERN SECTIONS OF
CHAUTAUQUA AND CATTARAUGUS COUNTY. DURING THE DAY FRIDAY EXPECT
THE LAKE SNOWS TO REMAIN IN THIS GENERAL AREA...ALTHOUGH THERE MAY
BE A SLIGHT NORTHWARD DRIFT IN THE AFTERNOON WHICH COULD PULL THE
BAND MORE INTO SOUTHERN ERIE COUNTY AND OUT OF THE SOUTHERN TIER
COUNTIES.

EXPECT SNOWFALL RATES OF 1-2 INCHES PER HOUR IN THE MOST INTENSE
PORTION OF THIS BAND THROUGH TONIGHT...WITH PERHAPS SOME WEAKENING
TO AROUND 1 INCH PER HOUR ON FRIDAY. STORM TOTALS WILL BE UP TO 18

2-3 INCHES POSSIBLE ON THE TUG HILL. HAVE INCREASED ACCUMS ON THE
TUG FOR BOTH TONIGHT AND FRIDAY...WITH UP TO 2 FEET TONIGHT AND
ANOTHER 2 FEET ON FRIDAY ON THE CENTRAL PORTION OF THE TUG. EXPECT

MONTAGUE. STORM TOTALS ARE LIKELY TO EXCEED 4 FEET ON THE TUG...
WITH 1 TO 2 FEET IN THE LOWER ELEVATIONS IN THE NORTHERN HALF OF
OSWEGO...SOUTHERN HALF OF JEFFERSON...AND MUCH OF LEWIS COUNTY.

UP A LITTLE THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF TONIGHT. IT WILL STILL BE
WINDY FRIDAY...BUT WINDS SHOULD COME DOWN TO BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA
WITH GUSTS IN THE 35-40 MPH RANGE.

PERSIST OVER PARTS OF SOUTHERN ERIE...WYOMING AND THE NORTHERN
SECTIONS OF CHAUTAUQUA AND CATTARAUGUS COUNTIES OFF LAKE ERIE AND

ONTARIO.

WE FINALLY EXPECT SLOW IMPROVEMENT SATURDAY AS THE FLOW WEAKENS IN
RESPONSE TO HIGH PRESSURE ADVANCING FROM THE SOUTHWEST. THE LAKE
ERIE ACTIVITY WILL LIKELY END IN THE AFTERNOON AND THE LAKE ONTARIO
ACTIVITY WILL WEAKEN. SATURDAY NIGHT LOOKS TO BE QUIET BUT COLD AS
THE HIGH CRESTS OVER US.

BY SUNDAY WARM ADVECTION WILL BEGIN BUT WITH IT WILL COME ENOUGH
LIFT TO HAVE CHANCE POPS. TEMPERATURES WILL BE MARGINAL FOR RAIN OR
SNOW SO WE WILL CARRY EITHER OR AT THIS TIME. LOOKS LIKE THE CHANCE
WILL END BY SUNDAY NIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
THIS PERIOD WILL START OUT RATHER BENIGN WITH A RIDGE OF HIGH
PRESSURE CRESTING OVER US MONDAY MORNING. WE EXPECT FAIR WEATHER AND
HIGHS OVER 40 IN MOST AREAS DURING THE DAY.

A VERY COLD AIR MASS OVER CENTRAL CANADA IS THEN EXPECTED TO CARVE
OUT AN UPPER AIR TROUGH WHICH IS FORECAST TO SWING INTO QUEBEC
TUESDAY. THE ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW AND COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO
THE LOWER REGION MONDAY NIGHT WITH THE COLD FRONT SCHEDULED TO MOVE
THROUGH EARLY TUESDAY. 850 MB AND SURFACE TEMPERATURES ARE MARGINAL.
AT THIS POINT WE WILL CARRY A CHANCE OF RAIN OR SNOW SHOWERS MONDAY
NIGHT AND TUESDAY. FREEZING PRECIPITATION IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION
BUT THAT WILL BE REFINED IN LATER FORECASTS.

STRONG COLD ADVECTION IS EXPECTED ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE ABOVE
MENTIONED SYSTEM WITH 850 MB TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TO PLUNGE TO
MINUS 16 TO MINUS 20C. THE NORTHWEST FLOW WILL FAVOR AREAS SOUTHEAST
OF THE LAKES. WE WILL GO LIKELY POPS FOR LAKE EFFECT SNOW IN THOSE
AREAS FROM TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT. A CHANCE OF SNOW
SHOWERS ELSEWHERE.

BY THURSDAY THE COLD AIR MASS WILL REMAIN IN PLACE. WE WILL KEEP AT
LEAST A CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS IN THE FORECAST FOR AREAS SOUTHEAST

TIER...IMPACTING KJHW. EXPECT IFR TO LIFR CONDITIONS WITHIN THE
MAIN SNOW BAND...BUT AREAS TO THE NORTH...INCLUDING KIAG AND
KROC...WILL SEE MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS.

OFF LAKE ONTARIO...THE HEAVIEST SNOW IS EXPECTED TO STAY MAINLY
SOUTH OF KART...BUT THE PROXIMITY OF THE MAIN SNOW BAND WILL STILL
KEEP IFR CONDITIONS AT KART UNTIL ABOUT 06Z. TOWARD DAYBREAK AND
THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING...EXPECT CONDITIONS VCNTY KART TO IMPROVE TO
VFR AS THE SNOW SETTLES SOUTH OVER THE TUG HILL PLATEAU.

THE PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN LOW PRESSURE OVER QUEBEC AND HIGH
PRESSURE OVER THE PLAINS STATES WILL KEEP SURFACE WINDS IN THE 20 TO
30 KNOT RANGE THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD.
