FLOOD WATCH

1015 PM EST FRI MAR 12 2010

...MINOR FLOODING IS POSSIBLE ACROSS PORTIONS OF WESTERN NEW YORK
  AND THE SOUTHERN TIER SATURDAY MORNING INTO SUNDAY ...

.LOW PRESSURE LOCATED OVER THE NORTH CAROLINA COAST THIS EVENING WILL
LIFT NORTH ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC STATES AND SATURDAY BEFORE
EXITING EAST ON SUNDAY. VERY MOIST AIR SURGING AHEAD OF THE LOW
WILL BRING ONE HALF INCH TO AN INCH OF RAIN TO MOST OF THE
REGION...WITH RAINFALL TOTALS IN EXCESS OF AN INCH EXPECTED ACROSS
HIGHER TERRAIN IN CENTRAL PORTIONS OF THE STATE.

THE COMBINATION OF ADDITIONAL RAINFALL AND RECENT SNOW MELT WILL
CAUSE SOME AREA CREEKS AND RIVERS TO APPROACH BANK FULL. CREEKS IN
THE BUFFALO METRO AREA...INCLUDING ELLICOTT CREEK...BUFFALO
CREEK... AND CAZENOVIA CREEK WILL BE THE FIRST TO
RESPOND...POTENTIALLY APPROACHING FLOOD STATE SATURDAY MORNING.
CAYUGA CREEK WILL BE ONE TO MONITOR AS WELL. BASED ON THE
EXPECTED RAINFALL AMOUNTS...ANY FLOODING THAT DOES OCCUR SHOULD
GENERALLY BE MINOR.

OTHER RIVERS AND CREEKS WILL RESPOND MORE SLOWLY...SUCH AS THE
TONAWONDA CREEK AT RAPIDS...GENESEE RIVER AT WELLSVILLE...AND THE
ALLEGHENY RIVER AT OLEAN AND SALAMANCA. AT THESE LOCATIONS...
EXPECTED CRESTS WILL NOT BE SUNDAY OR LATER. EXPECTED RAINFALL
AMOUNTS SUGGEST THESE RIVERS WILL RISE TO NEAR FLOOD STAGE...
HOWEVER ANY FLOODING THAT DOES OCCUR WOULD GENERALLY BE OF THE
MINOR VARIETY.

IN ADDITION TO THE RIVERS AND CREEKS...THERE IS QUITE A BIT OF
STANDING WATER LEFT OVER FROM RECENT SNOW MELT. STEADIER RAINFALL
MOVING IN ON SATURDAY AND SATURDAY EVENING MAY RESULT IN
NUISANCES SUCH AS PONDING OF WATER ON ROADWAYS AND WET BASEMENTS.

FLOOD WATCH

434 AM EST SAT MAR 13 2010

...MINOR FLOODING IS POSSIBLE ACROSS PORTIONS OF WESTERN NEW YORK
 AND THE SOUTHERN TIER OVER THE WEEKEND...

.THE MAIN CENTER OF LOW PRESSURE WAS OVER VIRGINIA EARLY THIS
MORNING. IT WILL CREATE A STRONG EASTERLY FLOW OFF THE ATLANTIC
OVER OUR REGION TODAY INTO SUNDAY AS IT MOVES VERY SLOWLY EAST.
RAINFALL AMOUNTS FROM THIS SYSTEM THROUGH SUNDAY WILL LIKELY BE
OVER AN INCH.

BECAUSE OF RECENT SNOWMELT...STREAMS ARE RUNNING QUITE HIGH BUT
ARE BELOW FLOOD STAGE. MOST OF THE FASTER RESPONDING STREAMS ARE
FALLING AT THIS TIME BECAUSE SNOWMELT HAS LESSENED DUE TO
COOLER TEMPERATURES AND A REDUCTION OF THE AREAL COVERAGE OF SNOW
TO MELT. THERE IS STILL BETWEEN 2 AND 6 INCHES LOCKED UP THE THE
VERY HEADWATERS OF THE BUFFALO AREA STREAMS BUT ONLY SMALL AREAS.
SLOWER STREAMS LIKE TONAWANDA AND ELLICOTT CREEKS ARE STILL RISING.

FORECAST RAINFALL IS A LITTLE LESS THAN WAS PROJECTED IN EARLIER
FORECASTS BUT THERE STILL MAY BE OVER AN INCH IN 48 HOURS OVER THE
WATCH AREA. WE WILL HAVE TO CONTINUE TO MONITOR STREAMS AND ISSUE
WARNINGS IF NECESSARY. AS OF NOW IF WE DO END UP WITH FLOODING IT
IS EXPECTED TO BE MINOR.

IN ADDITION TO THE RIVERS AND CREEKS...THERE IS QUITE A BIT OF
STANDING WATER LEFT OVER FROM RECENT SNOW MELT. STEADIER RAINFALL
MOVING TODAY AND TONIGHT MAY RESULT IN NUISANCES SUCH AS PONDING

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
1249 PM EST FRI MAR 12 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE OVER EASTERN CANADA AND NEW ENGLAND WILL SLOWLY
RETREAT AS SPRAWLING LOW PRESSURE APPROACHES FROM THE PLAINS AND
OHIO VALLEY DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. THIS WILL RESULT IN AN
INCREASE IN CLOUDS TODAY BUT ONLY A FEW SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED AND
TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN AT SPRINGLIKE LEVELS. A MORE GENERAL RAIN
WILL OVERSPREAD THE AREA SATURDAY AND CONTINUE INTO SUNDAY AS THE
LOW MOVES ACROSS PENNSYLVANIA TO THE COAST. IMPROVEMENT IS EXPECTED
MONDAY AS THE SYSTEM MOVES OUT TO SEA...WITH DRY AND RELATIVELY
MILD WEATHER TO FOLLOW FOR MOST OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
FOR THE REMAINDER OF TODAY...PERHAPS THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE WILL BE
PINNING DOWN SUBTLE SOURCES OF LIFT...WHICH IS LEADING TO RAIN
SHOWERS. A WARM AND MOIST EAST TO SOUTH FLOW IS IN PLACE ACROSS
THE REGION...WITH SUBTLE DISTURBANCES SUFFICIENT TO CAUSE SHOWER
ACTIVITY. THIS MORNING...THE FIRST WAVE IN THE FORM OF A WEAK
CYCLONIC KINK IN THE 500 MB FLOW CAUSED A SHEARING LINE OF SHOWERS
TO LIFT FROM SOUTH TO NORTH ACROSS THE REGION. OVERALL...SHOWERS
WERE LIGHT WITH GENERALLY LESS THAN .05 INCHES OF
PRECIPITATION...BUT A NUISANCE NONETHELESS. EXPECT THIS LINE TO
CONTINUE TO WEAKEN AS IT LIFTS NORTH...BECOMING MORE SCATTERED
THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON. HERE/S WHERE DOWNSLOPING ASSOCIATED WITH
THE SOUTHEAST FLOW WILL HAVE ITS CHANCE TO PROVIDE A BRIEF PERIOD
OF SUNSHINE IN FAR WESTERN PARTS OF NEW YORK...WITH VISIBLE
SATELLITE ALREADY SHOWING SOME CLEARING ON THE CHAUTAUQUA RIDGE.
WHILE SHORT LIVED...THIS MAKES EVEN SHORT TERM TEMPERATURE
FORECASTS UNCERTAIN...WITH WARM AIR ALOFT IN THE 12Z BUFFALO
SOUNDING SUGGESTING EVEN A COUPLE HOURS OF SUNSHINE WOULD ALLOW
TEMPERATURES TO AGAIN CLIMB NEAR 60. UNFORTUNATELY...IT APPEARS
THE VAST MAJORITY OF LOCATIONS WILL REMAIN CLOUDY FOR THE MOST
PART...THUS WILL LOOK FOR HIGHS IN THE LOWER TO MID 50S...BUT WILL
MONITOR SATELLITE TRENDS AS WARMER HIGHS ARE POSSIBLE.

THE OTHER BRIGHT SPOT IN THE FORECAST AREA IS EAST OF LAKE
ONTARIO...WHERE THE DISTURBANCE WILL BE TOO SHEARED OUT TO RESULT
IN SHOWERS...AND A BIT MORE DRY AIR WILL LEAD TO PERIODS OF
SUNSHINE...AND HIGHS IN THE MID 50S.

THIS ALL WILL BE RATHER SHORT LIVED...AS A BLEND OF THE 12Z
NAM AND RUC AND THE 00Z GEM POINT TO ANOTHER DISTURBANCE
APPROACHING THE SOUTHERN TIER LATE AFTERNOON. THIS AREA DOES IN
FACT SHOW UP ON RADAR ACROSS CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA...SO WILL BUMP
UP POPS TO CATEGORICAL AS THIS AREA OF SHOWERS IS EXPECTED TO ENTER
SOUTH-CENTRAL PORTIONS OF NEW YORK STATE MID-LATE AFTERNOON.

ONE FINAL NOTE ON TEMPERATURES...NOTED MODELS PARTICULARLY
STRUGGLES WITH SURFACE TEMPERATURES...WITH THE NAM/RUC BOTH
SIGNIFICANTLY COLD IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER THE PAST COUPLE DAYS.
THIS MAY BE DUE TO RAPIDLY CHANGING SNOW COVER...WITH THE MODELS
PERHAPS UNDER-DOING HOW MUCH SNOW MELT HAS RECENTLY OCCURRED.
WHATEVER THE CASE...NOTED THE REGIONAL GEM/GFS TEND TO HAVE A
BETTER HANDLE...AND HAVE LEANED TOWARDS THESE MODELS WHILE
ADJUSTING FOR SKY COVER AND THE LATEST SOUNDING.

TONIGHT THE WELL STACKED LOW IS FORECAST CONSISTENTLY BY BOTH THE
GFS AND NAM TO SLIDE EAST AND A BIT SOUTH INTO THE TENNESSEE VALLEY.
THIS WILL SET UP A STRONG EASTERLY LOW LEVEL EASTERLY FLOW OFF THE
ATLANTIC ACROSS PENNSYLVANIA AND THE MID ATLANTIC STATES. THIS WILL
KEEP THE HEAVIEST QPF ACROSS THAT AREA WITH THE NORTHERN REACHES OF
THE PRECIPITATION SHIELD STILL IN QUESTION. WE WILL HAVE CATEGORICAL
POPS AS FAR NORTH AS THE SOUTHERN TIER WITH LIKELY POPS CLOSE TO
BUFFALO TO CANANDAIGUA LINE. JUST CHANCE POPS TO THE NORTH OF THAT
BECAUSE OF THE UNCERTAINTY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
MAIN CONCERN DURING THIS PERIOD WILL BE HYDROLOGICAL AS OUR REGION
WILL BE INFLUENCED BY THE SLOW MOVING UPPER LOW AND SURFACE
REFLECTION AS IT WORKS SLOWLY EAST FROM THE OHIO VALLEY ACROSS THE
MID ATLANTIC STATES AND EVENTUALLY OFF THE COAST. AN ANOMALOUSLY
STRONG LOW AND MID LEVEL JET WILL SET UP ON THIS SYSTEM'S NORTHEAST
SIDE...WHICH WILL ACT AS A WARM CONVEYOR BELT TO TRANSPORT AN AXIS
OF HEAVY QPF IN FROM THE OCEAN. ALL MODELS IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT
WITH TIMING OF THIS...IMPACTING OUR AREA FROM SOUTH TO NORTH FROM
LATE SAT PM TO EARLY SUN MORNING. GFS AND ECMWF SHOW THE HEAVIEST
QPF BY FAR TO BE WELL TO OUR SOUTH ACROSS NORTHERN VIRGINIA TO THE
DELMARVA AREA...BUT STILL CAN SEE MAYBE 0.75 TO 1 INCH AVERAGE IN A
12 HOUR PERIOD FROM 00Z SAT TO 12Z SUNDAY ACROSS THE AREA WEST OF
THE FINGER LAKES. THE RAIN WILL HAVE A TOUGH TIME PUSHING NORTH
THOUGH...SO NORTH COUNTRY SHOULD SEE LESS.

NAM AND THE SREF ENSEMBLES HAVE THE PRECIP LIFTING TOO FAR TO THE
NORTH...AWAY FROM THE LOW LEVEL FORCING OF THE EASTERLY JET. THIS IS
CONTRARY TO THE GFS AND ECMWF SOLUTIONS WHICH KEEP THE BULK OF THE
PRECIP ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE LOW/MID LEVEL JET. THE CHOICE OF QPF
IS VERY DIFFICULT...SO WITH SUCH UNCERTAINTY...FOLLOWED HPC QPF
GRIDS FAIRLY CLOSELY. THIS GIVES A 36 HOUR TOTAL (06Z SAT TO 12Z
SUN) OF AROUND AN INCH FOR WESTERN  AND SOUTHERN NY...AND ONLY 0.25
INCH OR SO UP IN NORTH COUNTRY. THE BULK OF THIS RAIN FALLS FROM 18Z
SAT TO 06Z SUN. THIS IS A DECENT RAINFALL BUT NOTHING EXTREME...BUT
COULD COMBINE WITH REMAINING SNOWMELT TO RESULT IN SOME HYDRO
ISSUES...BUT NOT CONFIDENT ENOUGH FOR A WATCH AT THIS STAGE. WILL
CONTINUE TO MENTION IN HWO. SEE HYDROLOGY SECTION BELOW.

RAIN WILL TAPER OFF GRADUALLY ON SUNDAY BUT DID LOWER TEMPS WELL
DOWN INTO 40S ON THE NORTHEAST FLOW. DRYING MOVES IN SUN NT BUT WILL
KEEP US OVERCAST.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
THIS PERIOD CONTINUES TO LOOK VERY PLEASANT ON BOTH THE GFS AND
ECMWF AS LARGE SFC HIGH SETS UP ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES REGION AS
UPPER LEVEL TROFFING SETS UP WELL TO OUR EAST. 850 TEMPS AVERAGE
NEAR ZERO THROUGH THE PERIOD...SO LOOK FOR MAX TEMPS IN 45-50 RANGE
AND MINS 25-35...STILL SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL AS MARCH RETURNS TO ITS
LAMBLIKE WAYS. THE MONTH HAS SEEN NO PRECIP YET...AND REMARKABLY
WILL HAVE SEEN NO SNOW WELL PAST THE MIDDLE OF THE MONTH. 00Z EC
DOES STEEPEN UP THE TROF ENOUGH TO ALLOW A SHORT WAVE TO DROP SE
ALONG IT AND PERHAPS THROW SOME CLOUD AND A LOW SHOWER THREAT TO
NORTH COUNTRY AROUND THURSDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
BUF/IAG/ROC...BETWEEN 18Z AND 20Z...EXPECT BAND OF SHOWER TO
CONTINUE TO LIFT TO THE NORTH...ENDING ITS INFLUENCE ON ANY TAF
LOCATIONS. BEHIND THIS...MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE IN VFR
CONDITIONS THROUGH LATE AFTERNOON. DIMINISHING CONFIDENCE AS WINDS
SHIFT MORE NE...EXPECT A MVFR CLOUD DECK TO FORM THOUGH TIMING
REMAINS A BIT UNCERTAIN. ABOUT THIS TIME...AN AREA OF SHOWERS WILL
PASS ACROSS NW NEW YORK...POTENTIALLY EFFECTING THESE SITES AT
TIMES. SE WINDS ALOFT WILL INCREASE THIS EVENING...HOWEVER AN
INVERSION AT 1500-2500 FEET WILL KEEP MUCH OF THIS
ALOFT...RESULTING IN LLWS. EXPECT STEADY RAINFALL TO MOVE IN
SATURDAY MORNING...WITH FAIRLY GOOD CONFIDENCE IN TIMING.

JHW...EXPECT SHOWERS TO AFFECT THE SITE THROUGH THIS
EVENING...WITH MVFR TO PERHAPS IFR CIGS LIKELY TO REMAIN IN PLACE.
WINDS ALOFT PICK UP THIS EVENING...BUT ARE KEPT ALOFT DUE TO AN
INVERSION AT 1500 TO 2000 FEET...RESULTING IN INCREASING LLWS.
STEADY RAIN TO MOVE IN SATURDAY MORNING.

ART...EXPECT LARGELY VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE PERIOD. THE MAIN
CONCERN WILL BE THE CHANCE FOR RADIATION FOG THIS EVENING...THOUGH
ITS UNCERTAIN IF IT WILL CLEAR OUT ENOUGH FOR IT TO DEVELOP...WITH
TAF HEDGING ON THE MORE LIKELY AND OPTIMISTIC SCENARIO.

OUTLOOK...SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY...IFR WITH PERIODS OF RAIN.
MONDAY...MVFR/VFR. CHC OF SHWRS.
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...MAINLY VFR.

.MARINE...
ON THE UPDATE...ISSUED A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR WESTERN LAKE
ONTARIO. NOTED STRONGER WIDNS ON THE NORTH SIDE OF LAKE ONTARIO
THAN SOUTH SIDE...SO MAY SEE WAVES BUILD AHEAD OF THE WINDS ON THE
NEARSHORE WATERS...PROMPTING THE SCA.

LIGHT EASTERLY WINDS WILL GRADUALLY FRESHEN UP THIS AFTERNOON. THEY
WILL BACK TO NORTHEAST AND INCREASE TO 20 TO 30 KTS ON SATURDAY AND
SATURDAY NIGHT AS GRADIENT INCREASES BETWEEN A LARGE HIGH OVER
QUEBEC AND NEW ENGLAND AND APPROACHING LOW PRESSURE FROM THE OHIO
VALLEY. THEY WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH AND BACK SUNDAY AS THE LOW
MOVES OFF THE COAST. LAKE ONTARIO SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL BE
NECESSARY TONIGHT AND CONTINUING ON THROUGH THE WEEKEND...AND WILL
HAVE A GALE WATCH IN EFFECT FOR THE WESTERN HALF OF LAKE ONTARIO
FROM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING...11Z SAT THROUGH 05Z
SUN.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
THE SNOWPACK WILL CONTINUE TO MELT OFF TODAY AS TEMPERATURES RISE
BACK INTO THE 50S IN MOST AREAS. IT WILL BE JUST A LITTLE COOLER
THAN THURSDAY BECAUSE OF CLOUD COVER BUT DEW POINTS WILL RISE
MAKING THE MELT MORE EFFICIENT. THIS WILL SWELL AREA RIVERS AND
CREEKS TO SOME DEGREE. MAIN CONCERN WILL BE THE UPCOMING
HYDROLOGICAL EVENT. THERE IS STILL SOME DOUBT ON JUST HOW FAR
NORTH SIGNIFICANT RAIN WILL MAKE IT. OUR CURRENT THINK THROUGH
SUNDAY WILL BRING ABOUT AN INCH AND A QUARTER TO THE SOUTHERN TIER
AND A HALF TO THREE QUARTERS OF AN INCH ACROSS THE NIAGARA
FRONTIER AND FINGER LAKES REGION. ONLY ABOUT A QUARTER OF AN INCH
TO THE NORTH COUNTRY. WE WILL HAVE TO KEEP A CLOSE WATCH ON WHAT
HAPPENS WITH THE SNOWMELT AND FUTURE QPF FORECASTS. NO FLOOD WATCH
AT THIS TIME.

ONE NOTE...OUR ESF (SPRING FLOOD OUTLOOK) WAS UPDATED THURSDAY TO
REFLECT THE UPCOMING SITUATION THIS WEEKEND. THREAT HAS BEEN
INCREASED TO "ABOVE NORMAL" IN THE NEAR TERM (ONE WEEK) BUT "BELOW
NORMAL" IN THE LONG TERM.
