AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
1003 AM EST THU DEC 8 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS OFF LAKE ONTARIO WILL DISSIPATE BY EARLY
AFTERNOON. OTHERWISE...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRING SOME SUNSHINE...BUT
BRISK WINDS WILL PUT A DEFINITE CHILL IN THE AIR. INCREASING LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE AND A SHOT OF COLDER AIR ACROSS THE EASTERN GREAT
LAKES WILL SET UP A MODERATE TO HEAVY LAKE EFFECT SNOW EVENT LATER
TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY. EXPECT THE STEADIER LAKE SNOWS TO MIGRATE
SLOWLY TO THE SOUTH FRIDAY AFTERNOON INTO FRIDAY NIGHT.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS OFF LAKE ONTARIO WILL CONTINUE TO WEAKEN
THIS MORNING AS THE LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR INCREASES AND DRIER AIR
WORKS IN FROM THE WEST. THE WEAKENING SNOW SHOWERS WILL ALSO DRIFT
TO THE NORTH AS THE BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS BACK MORE TO THE WEST
SOUTHWEST LATER THIS MORNING INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON.

WITH DRIER AIR ADVECTING INTO THE LOWER LEVELS...EXPECT THE LAKE
STRATO-CU TO THIN OUT...LEADING TO A FAIR AMOUNT OF SUNSHINE DURING
THE AFTERNOON. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN THE DEPARTING CANADIAN
MARITIMES LOW AND THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC SURFACE RIDGE WILL RESULT IN
BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS TODAY...ESPECIALLY DOWNWIND OF THE LAKES.
WINDS 15 TO 25 MPH WILL MAKE IT FEEL COLDER THAN THE ACTUALLY MID TO
UPPER 30 AIR TEMPERATURES THIS AFTERNOON.

FOR TONIGHT WINDS WILL BACK TO SOUTHWESTERLY AS THE SHORTWAVE OVER
NORTHERN CANADA DIVES SOUTHWARD AND DIGS A TROUGH OVER THE WESTERN
GREAT LAKES. ALOFT TEMPERATURES AT 850 HPA WILL DROP A DEGREE OR TWO
FALLING TO AROUND -7 TO -9C. THESE TEMPERATURES WILL INCREASE THE
INSTABILITY OVER THE LAKE...IN THAT AS MOISTURE IN THE LOWER LEVELS
INCREASES...LAKE EFFECT SNOWS WILL BEGIN TO FORM. FEEL IT IS TOO DRY
IN THE LOWER LEVELS TO HAVE ANY LAKE SNOWS THROUGH THE EVENING
HOURS...BUT OVERNIGHT MOISTURE IN THE 1000-700 HPA LAYER INCREASES
AND WITH LARGE LOW LEVEL OMEGA PROVIDING LIFT JUST BELOW THE ZONE OF
GOOD SNOW CRYSTAL GROWTH EXPECT A BAND OF LAKE EFFECT SNOW TO
DEVELOP. WINDS INITIALLY WILL CONTINUE TO BACK TO AROUND A 220 FLOW
WHICH WILL BRING THE LAKE EFFECT SNOW BAND ALONG THE IMMEDIATE LAKE
ERIE SHORELINE INLAND TO METRO BUFFALO AND NORTHWARD ACROSS NIAGARA
AND ORLEANS COUNTY.

WITH THE RATHER IMPRESSIVE LOW LEVEL LIFT...AND GOOD MOISTURE IN THE
LOWER LEVELS SNOWFALL RATES OF AN INCH PER HOUR ARE LIKELY TO BE
FALLING BY DAWN FRIDAY MORNING...WITH THE AXIS OF HEAVY SNOW LIKELY
TO BE ROUGHLY FROM NEAR METRO BUFFALO INTO SOUTHERN NIAGARA
AND WESTERN ORLEANS COUNTY. WHILE LIFT AND MOISTURE ARE VERY GOOD BY
12Z FRIDAY MORNING...A MORE SOUTHERLY COMPONENT TO THE WIND
FLOW...AND NOT A SOUTHWEST FLOW ALONG THE ENTIRE STRETCH OF LAKE
ERIE...WILL LIKELY BE A COMPONENT TO HOLDING SNOW RATES BACK A BIT.
ALSO LIMITING THE AMOUNT OF SNOW EARLY FRIDAY MORNING ARE LAKE
INDUCED EQL REMAINING LOW...GENERALLY LESS THAN 10K FEET THROUGH THE
EVENT AND CAPE VALUES ALSO GENERALLY REMAIN LESS THAN 500 J/KG.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
LAKE EFFECT SNOW WILL BE WELL UNDERWAY AT THIS START OF THIS
PERIOD...AS A COLD SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL AIM ACCUMULATING
SNOWS NORTHEAST OF BOTH LAKES. IT SHOULD BE NOTED RIGHT UP FRONT
THAT WHILE THIS EVENT WILL HAVE A DEFINITE IMPACT ON THE BUF/IAG AND
ART/THOUSAND ISLANDS POPULATION AREAS...THERE ARE PLENTY OF LIMITING
FACTORS WHEN IT COMES TO EXPECTED SNOWFALL.

A H5 TROUGH CENTERED OVER THE UPPER GREAT LAKES FRIDAY MORNING WILL
SETTLE ACROSS THE LOWER GREAT LAKES DURING THE COURSE OF THE
AFTERNOON AS A VIGOROUS SHORTWAVE WILL DIG ACROSS WISCONSIN AND
LOWER MICHIGAN. THIS WILL HELP TO SHARPEN THE SUPPORTING LONG WAVE
TROUGH WHILE ALSO KEEPING A STRONG SOUTHERLY COMPONENT TO THE
STEERING FLOW. LAKE SNOWS WILL THUS BE CONCENTRATED FROM THE BUF AND
ART METRO AREAS NORTHWARD FOR MUCH OF FRIDAY...WHICH MAY ALSO LIMIT
THE FETCH TO SOME DEGREE...PARTICULARLY OVER LK ONTARIO. ON THE
OTHER HAND...A SLUG OF MID LEVEL PACIFIC MOISTURE WILL MOST
CERTAINLY DEEPEN THE SNOW DENDRITIC GROWTH ZONE AND THEREFORE
ENHANCE THE SNOW PRODUCTION FOR THIS EVENT.

AS WAS MENTIONED AT THE START OF THIS SECTION...THIS WILL NOT BE A
'CLASSIC' EVENT. EXCELLENT ON STATION RESEARCH AND PATTERN
RECOGNITION ACKNOWLEDGES THE NEED FOR A CLOSED H5/85 LOW IN THE
VCNTY OF THE UPPER GREAT LAKES/SOUTHERN ONTARIO IN ORDER TO PRODUCE
A PROLONGED LOW SHEARED FEED OF COLD AIR OVER EITHER LAKE...AND THIS
WILL NOT BE THE CASE. THAT BEING SAID...THERE WILL CERTAINLY BE AN
IMPACT ACROSS THE BUF/IAG METRO AREAS AND ALSO FROM ART TO THE
THOUSAND ISLANDS...ESPECIALLY SINCE IT WILL LARGELY BE THE FIRST
MAIN EVENT OF THE SEASON. GIVEN SOME OF THE UNCERTAINTIES THOUGH...
WILL HOLD BACK ONE MORE FORECAST CYCLE BEFORE ADVANCING THE CURRENT
LAKE EFFECT WATCHES TO ADVISORIES OR WARNINGS. THIS WILL LIKELY BE
DONE ON THE UPCOMING DAYSHIFT.

NOW...FOR THOSE LAKE EFFECT SNOW JUNKIES...HERE ARE SOME OF THE
THERMODYNAMIC AND STEERING FLOW DETAILS FOR THE UPCOMING EVENT.

FOR LK ERIE...THE SFC WATER TEMP CURRENTLY AVERAGES AROUND 8C. OUR
H85 TEMPS ON FRIDAY WILL BE IN THE VCNTY OF -8C WHICH WILL CERTAINLY
ESTABLISH ENOUGH INSTABILITY FOR LAKE INDUCED PCPN. THESE WATER
TEMPS ARE A SOLID 5 DEG C ABV NORMAL...WHICH IS VERY INTERESTING
BECAUSE IF THEY WERE AT THEIR NORMAL LEVEL OF -5C...THEN THE
INSTABILITY WOULD BE MUCH WEAKER. WE WOULD ESSENTIALLY BE ON THE
CUSP OF NOT HAVING ENOUGH INSTABILITY. GIVEN THE SHALLOWNESS OF THE
LAKE THOUGH...IT IS VERY LIKELY THAT THIS WILL BE A ONE TIME
'BENEFIT' FOR LAKE SNOW AS SFC WATER TEMPS WILL DROP CLOSER TO
NORMAL LEVELS BY THE END OF THE EVENT. IN ANY CASE...LAKE INDUCED
CAPES WILL BE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF 300 J/KG FOR THE HEART OF THE
EVENT ON FRIDAY WHILE THE LAKE INDUCED EL WILL BE AROUND 8K FT.
AGAIN...NOT OVERLY IMPRESSIVE NUMBERS FOR A BIG EVENT.

A MODERATELY SHEARED LOW 230-240 FLOW WILL BE IN PLACE (ANOTHER
LIMITING FACTOR)...WITH THE FLOW PROBABLY CLOSER TO 230 FRIDAY
MORNING WHEN THE BEST ORGANIZED BAND COULD BE IN PLACE. GUIDANCE
PACKAGES OFTEN UNDER ESTIMATE THE THERMALLY INDUCED BACKING OF THE
WINDS EARLY IN THE SEASON...SO AM LEANING MORE TO 230 FLOW RATHER
THAN THE NAM SUGGESTED 240. THE RGEM LOOKS MUCH MORE REASONABLE IN
THIS REGARD...PROBABLY DUE TO ITS SUPERIOR DATA ASSIMILATION
PACKAGE. THIS SHOULD CONCENTRATE THE SNOW BAND NORTH OF BUFFALO (OVR
THE 'NORTHTOWNS') EARLY IN THE DAY WHERE SNOW ACCUM RATES OF 1 TO AS
MUCH AS 2 INCHES PER HOUR SHOULD BE POSSIBLE. FOR WHAT ITS WORTH...
THE ON STATION 6KM MESOSCALE MODELS MIMICK THE RGEM...PARTICULARLY
THE THREE NAM BASE ONES.

ITS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION THAT WE GET A LITTLE THUNDER WITHIN THE
TWO MAIN BANDS...ALTHOUGH THE THERMODYNAMICS ARE NOT AS IMPRESSIVE
AS I WOULD LIKE TO SEE FOR THIS. WILL INCLUDE A CHC FOR THUNDER IN
THE LATE THURS NIGHT/FRI MORNING GRIDS.

DURING THE COURSE OF FRIDAY AFTERNOON...THE AFOREMENTIONED VIGOROUS
SHORTWAVE WILL SWING ACROSS SOUTHERN ONTARIO AND WILL LITERALLY PUSH
THE AXIS OF THE LK ERIE BAND TO THE U.S. SHORELINE (IF NOT ENTIRE
OFF THE LAKE). THIS WILL BODILY MOVE THE STEADIEST SNOW EAST...
ENCOMPASSING THE AREA FROM THE BUF METRO AREA DOWN ALONG THE LAKE
SHORE.

FOR LK ONTARIO...THE SFC WATER TEMPS ARE CURRENTLY NEAR 7/8C. GIVEN
THE SAME -8C H85 AIRMASS...A VERY SIMILAR THERMODYNAMIC PROFILE TO
LAKE ERIE WILL BE FOUND OVER THE EASTERN END OF LK ONTARIO. AGAIN...
THIS WILL SUPPORT LAKE INDUCED CAPES OF 300 J/KG AND LI EL'S OF
ABOUT 8 KFT. MEANWHILE...A 230 STEERING FLOW WILL BE IN PLACE
FRIDAY MORNING OVER THE EASTERN END OF THE LAKE. THIS WILL AIM LAKE
INDUCED PCPN OVER NORTHERN JEFFERSON COUNTY...FROM WATERTOWN TO THE
THOUSAND ISLANDS REGION. DUE TO THE SHORTER FETCH FROM THE 230
FLOW...SNOW ACCUMS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO EXCEED AN INCH PER HOUR IN
THIS AREA FOR THE DAYLIGHT HOURS FRIDAY.

ON FRIDAY NIGHT...THE SHORTWAVE WILL PUSH ACROSS THE LOWER GREAT
LAKES. WHILE THIS WILL INITIALLY AID IN THE LOW LEVEL FORCING FOR
INDIVIDUAL CONVECTIVE CELLS...IT WILL ALSO RESULT IN A MUCH MORE
SHEARED ENVIRONMENT WITH GRADUALLY VEERING WINDS. THIS WILL REORIENT
THE ASSOCIATED SINGLE BAND OFF LK ERIE TO THE SOUTH WITH THE
ACTIVITY TRANSITIONING INTO MULTI-BANDS ON A 270-300 FLOW...WHILE
THE SINGLE BAND OFF LK ONTARIO WILL LIKELY REMAIN INTACT WHILE
SETTLING TO THE TUG HILL.

THE MID LEVEL PACIFIC MOISTURE IS FORECAST TO THIN OUT FROM WEST TO
EAST DURING THE COURSE OF FRIDAY NIGHT...AND THIS WILL DIMINISH THE
EFFICIENCY OF LK SNOW PRODUCTION...PARTICULARLY EAST OF LK ERIE
WHERE A SHORTER FETCH WILL ALREADY BE LESSENING SNOW PRODUCTION.
THIS SHOULD NOT COME INTO PLAY AS MUCH FOR THE LAKE ONTARIO BAND AS
A SINGLE PLUME SHOULD STILL BE PRODUCING FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL
OVER THE TUG HILL.

FOR SATURDAY...THE BASE OF THE H5 TROUGH WILL PUSH EAST TO NEW
ENGLAND WHILE LOW LEVEL RIDGING OVER THE OHIO VALLEY WILL NOSE UP
ACROSS NEW YORK STATE. THE ASSOCIATED SUBSIDENCE INVERSION WILL DROP
THE EQUILIBRIUM LEVEL TO AROUND 5K FT OVER LK ERIE WITH INCREASINGLY
DRIER AIR WORKING ITS WAY DOWN FROM THE MID LEVELS. THIS SHOULD
ENCOURAGE THE LK EFFECT TO TAPER TO FLURRIES ACROSS THE SRN TIER.
OFF LK ONTARIO...FAIRLY WELL ORGANIZED LAKE SNOW SHOULD REMAIN IN
PLACE IN THE VCNTY OF THE TUG ALTHOUGH SNOWFALL RATES WILL BE LESS
IMPRESSIVE AS THE MOISTURE IN THE SNOW PRODUCTION ZONE WILL BE MORE
LIMITED.

THIS GENERAL PROCESS WILL CONTINUE SATURDAY NIGHT AS RIDGING AT ALL
LEVELS WILL BUILD ACROSS THE LOWER LAKES. WARMING ALOFT (H85 -4C)
SHOULD CEASE THE LAKE EFFECT OFF LK ERIE ALTOGETHER BY THIS
TIME...WHILE THE SNOWS EAST OF LK ONTARIO WILL TAPER OFF TO LIGHT
SNOW SHOWERS AND FLURRIES WITH LITTLE/IF ANY ADDITIONAL ACCUM.

FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEKEND...STRONG HIGH PRESSURE WILL WORK
ACROSS PENNSYLVANIA WHILE OUR H85 TEMPS WILL MODERATE TO BETWEEN
ZERO AND +2C. THIS WILL PROMOTE ABUNDANT SUNSHINE REGIONWIDE...
INCLUDING EAST OF BOTH LAKES WHERE THE FRESH SNOW COVER WILL MAKE
FOR A VERY BRIGHT MIDDAY. SFC TEMPS WILL MODERATE BACK TO NEAR
NORMAL LEVELS AFTER MORE THAN TWO DAYS OF COLDER THAN NORMAL MERCURY
LEVELS.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THIS PORTION OF THE FORECAST LOOKS RELATIVELY QUIET. HIGH PRESSURE
ANCHORED OFF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST WILL NOSE BACK ACROSS OUR
FORECAST AREA AND KEEP FAIR CONDITIONS IN PLACE THROUGH AT LEAST
TUESDAY. A COLD FRONT IS THEN EXPECTED TO WORK ACROSS OUR REGION
TUESDAY NIGHT PRODUCING MORE SNOW SHOWERS...AND LIKELY SETTING THE
STAGE FOR SOME NUISANCE LAKE EFFECT SNOWS ON WEDNESDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /15Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
VFR FLIGHT CONDITIONS WERE GENERALLY FOUND ACROSS THE REGION AT
12Z...THOUGH SOME LOWER MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS ARE FOUND JUST SOUTH OF
WATERTOWN THIS MORNING IN LAKE EFFECT SNOW...AND MVFR IN FLURRIES
ACROSS WNY. THIS LAKE EFFECT BAND OFF LAKE ONTARIO SHOULD WEAKEN BY
TIME IT SLIDES NORTHWARD OVER THE WATERTOWN TERMINAL AND WILL
INCLUDE JUST A VCSH FOR A FEW HOURS THROUGH THE MID/LATE MORNING.

WINDS WILL BE GUSTY TODAY...BUT THESE STRONGER WINDS WILL LIKELY
HELP LIMIT CLOUDS TO FORM AS A RESULT OF THE LAKES.

WINDS WILL DIMINISH THIS EVENING AS THEY BACK TO MORE OF A
SOUTH-SOUTHWEST FLOW. THIS FLOW COMBINED WITH COLDER...MOIST AIR
OVER THE LAKES WILL AID IN LAKE EFFECT SNOW FORMING OFF BOTH LAKE
ERIE AND ONTARIO. THIS WILL DROP CONDITIONS WITHIN THE BAND OF SNOW
TO IFR OR LESS LATE IN THE TAF PERIOD.

OUTLOOK...
FRIDAY...MVFR/IFR WITH SNOW SHOWERS. LOCALLY HEAVIER LAKE EFFECT
SNOW EAST AND NORTHEAST OF THE LAKES.
SATURDAY...MAINLY VFR WITH AREAS OF MVFR IN SNOW SHOWERS SOUTHEAST
OF THE LAKES.
SUNDAY AND MONDAY...VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
WILL MAINTAIN SCA THROUGH THE DAY TODAY WITH A BREEZY WESTERLY
WIND...BECOMING SOUTHWESTERLY TOWARDS EVENING AS A TIGHT
PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN THE DEPARTING LOW AND MIDDLE ATLANTIC
SURFACE RIDGE WILL RESULT IN BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS.

WINDS WILL DECREASE IN SPEED LATER FRIDAY AND THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS
SFC HIGH PRESSURE NOSES EASTWARD ACROSS THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES.
