AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
650 AM EST MON JAN 25 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
STRONG LOW PRESSURE WILL STALL OVER LAKE SUPERIOR TODAY BEFORE
MOVING INTO QUEBEC BY TUESDAY. ITS TRAILING COLD FRONT WILL MOVE
SLOWLY EAST ACROSS THE AREA TODAY ACCOMPANIED BY WIDESPREAD MODERATE
TO HEAVY RAINFALL AND VERY MILD TEMPERATURES. THE HEAVY RAIN
COMBINED WITH MELTING SNOW MAY RESULT IN SOME MINOR FLOODING IN SOME
AREAS. BEHIND THE FRONT...COLDER AIR WILL FILTER BACK INTO THE
REGION TONIGHT WITH A RETURN TO TYPICAL MID WINTER COLD BY TUESDAY
AND WEDNESDAY ALONG WITH SOME SNOW AND LAKE EFFECT SNOW. EVEN COLDER
TEMPERATURES WILL ARRIVE BY THE END OF THE WEEK WITH WELL BELOW
AVERAGE TEMPERATURES.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
630 AM UPDATE...MAIN SURGE OF MDT TO HEAVY RAIN FINALLY PULLING
EASTWARD WITH TRAILING EDGE NEARING GENESEE VALLEY...BUT SHOWERS
CONTINUE BACK THROUGH REST OF WESTERN NY AT 1130Z. A SOLID 0.5 TO
0.75 INCH FELL SINCE MIDNIGHT...ON TOP OF NEARLY AN INCH IN BUF
AREA BUT MUCH LESS TO SOUTH AS THEY WERE SHADOWED THROUGH MUCH OF
THE EVENING. DID ISSUE FLS FOR BUF-IAG AREA FOR RESIDUAL LOW LYING
FLOODING AND REPORTS OF SOME BASEMENT FLOODING IN NORTHTOWNS BUT
RAIN SHOULD BE GENERALLY OVER AFTER 8 AM. ALSO ISSUED ONE FOR
ALLEG/CATTEG COS FOR EST OF MORNING AS HVY RAIN WILL LINGER A
LITTLE LONGER.

MAIN CONCERN TODAY WILL BE FOR HEAVY RAIN IN CNTRL NY AND NORTH
COUNTRY THROUGH MIDDAY. THOSE AREAS HAVE NOT SEEN MUCH RAIN YET
THOUGH...SO SHOULD BE ABLE TO HANDLE THE INCH OR SO WITHOUT TOO
MUCH TROUBLE. EXCEPTION WILL BE BLACK RIVER BASIN WHERE AMTS WILL
BE GREATER. SEE HYDRO SECTION BELOW FOR FURTHER IMPACTS.

INTERESTING SCENARIO DURING THE FRONT END OF THE RAINFALL DURING
SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. STORM QPF THROUGH 06Z SHOWED AN
INTERESTING PATTERN WITH ABOUT 0.25 INCH ACROSS SRN TIER...ONLY
0.1 TO 0.2 ACROSS SOUTHERN ERIE TO ONTARIO COUNTIES...BUT A SOLID
0.75 TO 1 INCH NORTH OF A LINE FROM BUF TO BATAVIA INTO NIAG AND
ORLEANS COUNTIES. THIS APPEARED TO BE A MESOSCALE FEATURE...STRONG
LL JET DOWNSLOPED OFF THE SOUTHERN TIER LEAVING A SHADOW AND THEN
WHEN WIND WEAKENED IT PILED UP INTO A CONVERGENCE BAND ALONG A
LINE FROM CNTRL LK ERIE TO BUF TO BATAVIA WHERE RAINS REPEATEDLY
DEVELOPED ALL AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

AS FOR THE FORECAST...LOOK FOR RAIN TO END GRADUALLY FROM WEST TO
EAST THIS MORNING AND MIDDAY...BUT THERE IS ANOTHER AREA OF
SHOWERS ASSOCIATED WITH A SHORT WAVE NEAR DET-TOL WHICH MAY SWEEP
ACROSS THE AREA MIDDAY/EARLY AFTERNOON. COLDER AIR WILL FILTER IN
THIS AFTERNOON WITH W-SW WINDS PICKING UP ACROSS THE WEST. 06Z NAM
SHOWS THIS CHANGING TO WET SNOW BEFORE ENDING BUT THIS WILL BE
MARGINAL. WOULD NOT RULE OUT A FEW SNOWFLAKES BY DARK ON SRN TIER
HILLS AS WELL.

FOR TONIGHT...A GRADUAL RETURN TO MORE MIDWINTER TYPE CONDITIONS.
THE MAIN MID LEVEL TROUGH AXIS WILL SHIFT ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT
AND EARLY TUESDAY...LOSING AMPLITUDE WITH TIME AND EASTERN EXTENT.
RELATIVELY WEAK LARGE SCALE FORCING AND DEEP SYNOPTIC SCALE WRAP
AROUND MOISTURE WILL PRODUCE SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA
WITH SOME MINOR ACCUMULATIONS POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT...MAINLY ACROSS
HIGHER ELEVS OF WEST. BOUNDARY LAYER TEMPS MAY INITIALLY BE A
LITTLE ABOVE FREEZING DURING THE EVENING BUT WILL DROP BELOW
FREEZING FROM WEST TO EAST OVERNIGHT. 850MB TEMPS DROP TO AROUND
-8C BY 12Z TUESDAY...PROBABLY STAYING JUST WARM ENOUGH TO PRECLUDE
ANY LAKE ENHANCEMENT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
OUR ATTENTION TURNS BACK TO MORE TYPICAL WINTER WEATHER DURING THE
SHORT TERM PERIOD. THE MAIN MID LEVEL TROUGH AXIS WILL SHIFT ACROSS
THE AREA EARLY TUESDAY...LOOSING AMPLITUDE WITH TIME AND EASTERN
EXTENT. RELATIVELY WEAK LARGE SCALE FORCING AND DEEP SYNOPTIC SCALE
WRAP AROUND MOISTURE WILL PRODUCE SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS MUCH OF THE
AREA EARLY TUESDAY. AS THE MID LEVEL TROUGH SHIFTS EAST AND WEAKENS
EXPECT A GENERAL WEST TO EAST DECREASE IN SYNOPTIC SCALE SNOW
SHOWERS THROUGH MIDDAY. EXPECT ACCUMULATIONS TO BE MINOR OUTSIDE OF
LAKE AND UPSLOPE AREAS WITH A COATING TO AN INCH. A LOW LEVEL TROUGH
WILL CROSS THE REGION TUESDAY EVENING WITH A FEW MORE SNOW SHOWERS
LIKELY AREA-WIDE. AGAIN ONLY EXPECT MINOR COATING TO AN INCH
ACCUMULATIONS OUTSIDE OF LAKE AND UPSLOPE AREAS. OUR ATTENTION THEN
TURNS BACK TO THE MESOSCALE WITH A COMBINATION OF LAKE AND UPSLOPE
CONCERNS.

OFF LAKE ERIE...850MB TEMPS DROP TO AROUND -9C DURING THE DAY.
NORMALLY THIS WOULD NOT BE COLD ENOUGH FOR A PURE LAKE RESPONSE...
HOWEVER GIVEN THE VERY DEEP SYNOPTIC SCALE MOISTURE AND SOME LARGE
SCALE LIFT IN PLACE...THERE MAY BE ENOUGH INSTABILITY TO SUPPORT
SOME LAKE ENHANCEMENT. NAM BUFKIT PROFILES INDICATE LAKE INDUCED
CAPE OF 100-150J/KG AND EQUILIBRIUM LEVELS OF 6-8K FEET. THIS IS A
VERY MARGINAL CASE...AND WITH ALL MARGINAL CASES INHERENTLY
DIFFICULT TO FORECAST. FOR NOW HAVE INDICATED AN AREA OF HIGHER POPS
NORTHEAST OF THE LAKE INTO METRO BUFFALO. WITH THE DEEP/MOIST
CYCLONIC FLOW ALSO EXPECT PLENTY OF UPSLOPE ENHANCEMENT INTO THE
HIGHER TERRAIN OF SKI COUNTRY AND THE WESTERN SOUTHERN TIER...AND
HAVE GONE WITH HIGHER POPS IN THIS AREA AS WELL. BEST ESTIMATE RIGHT
NOW IS FOR A FEW INCHES ACROSS THE BUF AREA WITH LAKE ENHANCEMENT
AND ALSO SOUTHERN TIER WITH UPSLOPE.

TUESDAY NIGHT THE FLOW BECOMES MORE WESTERLY AND THE AIRMASS BECOMES
COLDER WITH 850MB TEMPS DROPPING TO AROUND -14C. THIS WILL BE COLD
ENOUGH FOR A PURE LAKE RESPONSE...BUT SYNOPTIC SCALE MOISTURE WILL
ALSO BE QUICKLY DECREASING AS WELL. EXPECT THE BEST PERIOD OF SNOW
TO BE DURING THE EVENING...COINCIDING WITH THE TIME WHEN COLDER AIR
ARRIVES BUT SYNOPTIC SCALE MOISTURE IS STILL DEEP. MAY ALSO SEE SOME
ENHANCED LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE FROM THE SECONDARY TROUGH PASSAGE. AT
THIS POINT EXPECT ADVISORY TYPE ACCUMULATIONS FROM SKI COUNTRY INTO
THE SOUTHERN TIER. STILL A LITTLE EARLY TO HOIST HEADLINES YET FOR A
MARGINAL EVENT...BUT HAVE INDICATED SOME DECENT 3-5 INCH
ACCUMULATIONS FOR TUESDAY NIGHT IN THIS AREA. ON WEDNESDAY THE
BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW BACKS TO THE SOUTHWEST AGAIN. STILL JUST COLD
ENOUGH TO SUPPORT SOME LAKE RESPONSE...BUT LIMITED MOISTURE AND
MARGINAL TEMPERATURES SHOULD LIMIT OVERALL INTENSITY. EXPECT A
WEAKENING BAND OF LAKE SNOW TO DRIFT BACK NORTH INTO THE BUFFALO
METRO AREA WITH ONLY MINOR ACCUMULATIONS.

OFF LAKE ONTARIO...EXPECT A SIMILAR SCENARIO WITH 850MB TEMPS NOT
QUITE COLD ENOUGH TO SUPPORT A PURE LAKE RESPONSE TUESDAY. IT DOES
APPEAR COLD ENOUGH FOR SOME LAKE ENHANCEMENT HOWEVER...WITH A
GREATER INFLUENCE LIKELY BEING UPSLOPE FLOW INTO THE TUG HILL.
EXPECT SOME MINOR ACCUMULATIONS ACROSS THE ENTIRE EASTERN LAKE
ONTARIO REGION...WITH THE HEAVIER SNOWFALL TIED CLOSELY TO THE
TERRAIN OF THE TUG HILL. EXPECT AN INCH OR TWO ACROSS LOWER
ELEVATIONS...BUT THE TUG MAY EXCEED WATCH/WARNING CRITERIA. HAVE
HOISTED A LAKE EFFECT SNOW WATCH FOR OSWEGO/JEFF/LEWIS COUNTIES...
BUT IT SHOULD BE NOTED THIS IS PRIMARILY FOR THE TUG HILL WITH MUCH
LOWER ACCUMULATIONS ACROSS THE LOWER ELEVATIONS THROUGH TUESDAY
EVENING.

AIRMASS BECOMES COLDER TUESDAY NIGHT WITH 850MB TEMPS BOTTOMING OUT
AROUND -14C BY WEDNESDAY MORNING. BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW BECOMES MORE
WNW LATE TUESDAY NIGHT...SO EXPECT LAKE ENHANCED SNOW ACROSS THE TUG
HILL TO GIVE WAY TO MORE PURE LAKE SNOWS THAT WILL PUSH TO THE
SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THE LAKE BAY DAYBREAK WEDNESDAY. LATEST NCEP NAM
AND SUNY STONY BROOK MM5 SUGGEST A DECENT BAND MAY BE ONGOING ACROSS
OSWEGO COUNTY WEDNESDAY MORNING. DURING THE DAY WEDNESDAY...THE
BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW BACKS TO THE SOUTHWEST AGAIN...PUSHING WEAKENING
LAKE SNOWS BACK ACROSS THE TUG AND TOWARDS WATERTOWN.

FINALLY LATER WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY ANOTHER NORTHERN STREAM
TROUGH WILL MOVE INTO THE UPPER GREAT LAKES WITH AN ASSOCIATED
SURFACE LOW MOVING INTO THE OTTAWA VALLEY BY 12Z THURSDAY. A WEAK
SOUTHERN STREAM WAVE AND ASSOCIATED MOISTURE PLUME WILL BECOME
CAPTURED BY THIS SYSTEM...WITH MOISTURE OVERSPREADING THE LOWER
LAKES LATER WEDNESDAY NIGHT. MODEL GUIDANCE HAS BEEN RELATIVELY
CONSISTENT WITH THIS SCENARIO THE PAST DAY OR SO...AND ENOUGH
CONFIDENCE NOW TO INCREASE POPS TO LIKELY FOR LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT
AND THURSDAY. EXPECT SOME MINOR ACCUMULATIONS WITH THIS FEATURE. AN
ARCTIC FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND DELIVER
ANOTHER MUCH COLDER AIRMASS TO THE REGION.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
A BLAST OF ARCTIC AIR AND SNOW WILL CROSS THE CWA EARLY IN THIS
FORECAST PERIOD SENDING TEMPERATURES TO BELOW NORMAL. LAKE EFFECT
SNOW WILL DEVELOP DOWNWIND OF BOTH LAKES THURSDAY NIGHT BEFORE
DIMINISHING INTO THE EARLY WEEKEND.

A POLAR VORTEX NEAR NORTHERN BAFFIN ISLAND SUNDAY AFTERNOON WILL
DROP SOUTHWARD ACROSS CENTRAL CANADA DRIVING A SFC COLD FRONT ACROSS
THE AREA ON THURSDAY. THE 12Z ECMWF, GGEM, GFS AND GFS ENSEMBLE
MEMBERS ARE ALL IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW TO START
THIS TIME PERIOD. THUS WILL INCREASE CHANCES FOR SNOW TO LIKELY
ALONG THIS COLD FRONT THURSDAY. THERE IS SOME HINT OF A SECONDARY
ARCTIC FRONT BY THE 12Z GFS WHICH COULD TRIGGER ADDITIONAL SNOW
SHOWERS INTO THURSDAYS NIGHT...ESPECIALLY ACROSS EASTERN LAKE
ONTARIO. GFS BUFKIT SOUNDINGS SUGGEST THAT WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO MIX
DOWN STRONGER WINDS JUST ABOVE THE SURFACE THURSDAY BEHIND THE COLD
FRONT LEADING TO THE POSSIBILITY OF BLOWING SNOW FOR THURSDAY AND
INTO THURSDAY NIGHT.

A -22C TO -24C 850 MB AIRMASS WILL CROSS THE REGION THURSDAY NIGHT
SENDING TEMPERATURES MUCH BELOW NORMAL. WITH GFS MODEL CONSISTENCY
IN THE FORECAST TEMPERATURE OF THIS 850 AIRMASS...WILL FEEL MORE
CONFIDENT THAT TEMPERATURES WILL NOT RISE OUT OF THE TEENS ON
FRIDAY.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO NOSE INTO THE REGION FROM THE
NORTHERN PLAINS ON FRIDAY NIGHT. TEMPERATURES WILL AGAIN DROP 5 TO
10 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL OVERNIGHT FRIDAY WITH MANY AREAS DROPPING
INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS OR LOWER.

WHILE IT WILL CERTAINLY BE COLD ENOUGH FOR LES DOWNWIND OF THE GREAT
LAKES...THE LACK OF ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND COMBINED WIND
SHEER FOR LES IS NOT CONDUCIVE FOR LIKELY POPS. WILL CONTINUE CHC
POPS FOR LES THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...WITH THE HIGHER POPS
SOUTHEAST OF THE TWO LAKES.

MODELS DEVELOP A STORM SYSTEM ALONG THE EASTERN SEABOARD THIS
WEEKEND. THIS SYSTEM SHOULD REMAIN EAST OF OUR AREA...AND SUBSIDENCE
ON THE PERIPHERY OF THE SYSTEM MAY PROMOTE MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES ACROSS
OUR AREA SATURDAY. ANOTHER SHORT WAVE WILL DIVE ACROSS THE AREA LATE
IN THE WEEKEND OR EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
STEADY RAIN WILL TAPER OFF FROM WEST TO EAST TODAY...BUT WINDS
WILL THEN TURN SSW THIS MORNING ACROSS WESTERN NY. THIS WILL PRODUCE
A PERIOD OF IFR CIGS DURING THE MORNING AT KBUF-KIAG-KJHW WITH
WARM/MOIST AIR CROSSING THE COLD LAKE ERIE WATERS. HAVE INCLUDED
IFR CIGS IN THE TAFS BUT WORST CASE SCENARIO MAY BRING A PERIOD OF
FOG AND LOW CIGS APPROACHING AIRFIELD MINIMUMS FOR A FEW HOURS
AS WELL...ESP AT KBUF AND KIAG. STRONGER SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL
DEVELOP BEHIND A COLD FRONT BY LATE MORNING WHICH SHOULD BRING
CIGS/VSBY BACK TO MVFR. SNOW SHOWERS WILL ENTER THE PICTURE AT THE
WESTERN TERMINALS TONIGHT AND TUESDAY.

OUTLOOK...
TUESDAY...WIDESPREAD MVFR IN SNOW SHOWERS WITH LOCAL IFR NORTHEAST
OF LAKES ERIE AND ONTARIO IN LAKE ENHANCED SNOW.
WEDNESDAY...VFR/MVFR IN SCATTERED LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS. LOCAL
IFR IN HEAVIER LAKE SNOWS EAST OF THE LAKES.
THURSDAY...MVFR/IFR WITH LIGHT SNOW.
FRIDAY...VFR/MVFR WITH SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS.

&&

.MARINE...
A BRIEF LULL IN THE WINDS IS THEN EXPECTED THIS MORNING BEFORE
SOUTHWEST FLOW INCREASES BEHIND A COLD FRONT CROSSING THE REGION.
THIS WILL SET THE STAGE FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF MODERATE TO
STRONG SOUTHWEST WINDS BEGINNING LATE MONDAY MORNING AND
CONTINUING THROUGH TUESDAY...THEN BECOMING MORE WESTERLY FOR A
TIME LATER TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY MORNING BEFORE BACKING TO
SOUTHWEST AGAIN WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. THIS WILL BRING HIGH END
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS THROUGH THE PERIOD. EXPECT A FEW
GALE FORCE GUSTS AT TIMES...BUT DO NOT EXPECT THIS TO BE
WIDESPREAD OR LONG LASTING ENOUGH TO SUPPORT A GALE
WATCHES/WARNINGS AT THIS TIME.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES FOR THE ENTIRE CWA...WITH SOME URBAN/SMALL
STREAM FLOOD ADVISORIES AS NOTED ABOVE THIS MORNING. RAINFALL
TOTALS WERE HIGHEST IN THE BUFFALO AREA AND JUST NORTH...GENERALLY
1.5 TO 2 INCHES...WITH 1 TO 1.5 ACROSS THE SOUTHERN TIER. LESSER
AMOUNTS HAVE FALLEN IN THE MID AND LOWER GENESEE VALLEY AND FINGER
LAKES REGION. THE BUFFALO AREA CREEKS MAY EDGE INTO FLOOD
TODAY...WARNINGS WILL BE ISSUED IF NECESSARY. THE REST OF THE
RIVERS WILL RUN HIGH AND WILL BE MONITORED. THERE MAY BE ISSUES
LATER ON THE BLACK RIVER.

THERE WILL BE PONDING OF WATER ON AREA ROADWAYS WHICH MAY SLOW THE
MORNING COMMUTE.

&&

.EQUIPMENT...
THE KBUF WSR-88D RADAR HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENT COMMS
PROBLEMS...WITH SPORADIC FAILURES DURING THE PAST 48 HOURS. AS OF
6 AM THE RADAR HAS BEEN RESTORED AFTER COMMS TECHNICIANS WERE
CONTACTED OVERNIGHT. THESE PERIODIC SERVICE OUTAGES WILL LIKELY
CONTINUE INTO THE DAY TODAY.
