AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
309 AM EST SAT JAN 8 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
THE WINTRY PATTERN WILL CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT WEEK WITH BELOW NORMAL
TEMPERATURES AND A FEW EPISODES OF LIGHT SNOW. LOW PRESSURE WILL
MOVE EAST ACROSS PENNSYLVANIA TODAY AND OFF THE COAST TONIGHT. THIS
WILL ALLOW FOR A RETURN TO NORTHWEST WINDS WITH SOME HEAVIER LAKE
SNOWS SOUTHEAST OF THE LAKES TONIGHT AND SUNDAY. WE SHOULD GET A
BREAK ON MONDAY INTO PART OF TUESDAY BEFORE A BROAD AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE LIFTS NORTH ALONG THE COAST WITH SOME LIGHT SNOW FOR OUR
AREA FOR THE MIDWEEK PERIOD...FOLLOWED BY A RETURN TO NORTHWEST FLOW
LAKE EFFECT LATER IN THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
INTERESTING AND FAIRLY RARE SCENARIO IN PLACE THIS MORNING...
EVENTUALLY WORKING INTO A MORE TYPICAL NORTHWEST FLOW LAKE
EFFECT/UPSLOPE EVENT BY LATER TONIGHT.

OUR REGION CONTINUES QUIET AND DRY AT 08Z AS WE LIE IN A COL BETWEEN
A DEPARTING COASTAL SYSTEM AND AN APPROACHING UPPER LOW. THIS
FEATURE WAS OVER EASTERN MICH EARLY THIS MORNING AND WILL DROP
SOUTHEAST ACROSS LK ERIE THIS AFTERNOON AND BE NEAR THE JERSEY COAST
BY LATE TONIGHT. ONLY A MINOR SFC REFLECTION AT THIS TIME WITH WEAK
LOW PRESSURE STRUNG OUT FROM E MICH TO NW PA...BUT THIS WILL
BUILD SOUTHEAST AS AN INVERTED TROUGH THIS MORNING...GENERALLY
LYING JUST SOUTHWEST OF OUR REGION. WE DO EXPECT SOME LIGHT SNOW TO
BREAK OUT ALONG AND JUST TO THE NORTHEAST OF THIS TROUGH THIS
MORNING...BUT ACCUMS WILL BE MINIMAL...DID INCR POPS TO LIKELY
CHAUT/CATT AND CHC TO BUF FOR THIS FOR A FEW HOURS THIS MORNING.

NOW...TO MAKE MATTERS MORE INTERESTING...ON THE MESOSCALE WE HAVE A
FAIRLY ROBUST BAND OF LK EFFECT OVER LK ERIE. THIS FORMED LAST
EVENING ON A TYPICAL SW-NE ORIENTATION...BUT IT NEVER MOVED
ONSHORE. RATHER...SFC AND LOW LEVEL WINDS BECAME L/V AND EVEN BACKED
TO SE...KEEPING THE BAND OFFSHORE AND EVENTUALLY SHOVING IT NORTH
INTO THE NIAG PENINSULA. AT PRESS TIME...REMNANTS OF THIS BAND WERE
SWINGING NORTHWEST UP ACROSS THE GOLDEN HORSESHOE OF ONTARIO...YOU
DONT SEE LK ERIE SNOW MAKING IT TO TORONTO VERY OFTEN.

THERE IS ALSO A BAND OF SNOW DEVELOPING ON LK ONTARIO...EAST-WEST
ORIENTATION NEAR ITS NORTH SHORE...WHICH LOOKS TO PUSH WEST INTO
TORONTO-HAMILTON AREA AS WELL. THIS WILL BE A PLAYER FOR OUR AREA
LATER THIS MORNING AND EARLY THIS AFTERNOON AS WINDS BACK TO NORTHERLY.

AS FOR THE NEAR FUTURE...AS NOTED ABOVE...NW-SE TROUGH SHOULD
STRENGTHEN THIS MORNING WITH SFC LOW RIDING SE ALONG IT FROM ABOUT
ERIE TO CNTRL PA BY LATE AFTERNOON. THIS WILL ALLOW WINDS TO BACK
THROUGH NE TO NORTH AND NW THIS AFTERNOON UP HERE. IT WILL ALSO
ALLOW THE FAIRLY ORGANIZED BAND OF SNOW OVER LK ONTARIO TO DROP
SOUTH INTO OUR NORTHERN COUNTIES FROM NIAG TO MONROE LATER THIS
MORNING AND EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. THIS WILL EVENTUALLY BECOME
ABSORBED IN A MORE GENERAL AREA OF UPSLOPE SNOW SHOWERS LATER THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. WILL GO WITH A STRIP OF LIKELY POPS FOR THIS
FEATURE...BUT ALL IN ALL...DAYTIME ACCUMS LOOKS LIKE AN INCH OR LESS
MOST SPOTS...PERHAPS A FEW ISOLD 2 INCH AMTS NR LK ONTARIO AND OVER
CHAUT CO LATE AS NW FLOW SETS UP.

CONDITIONS WILL BECOME MUCH MORE FAMILIAR TONIGHT AS EVERYTHING
CONSOLIDATES OFF THE COAST AND RESULTS IN A TYPICAL NORTHWEST FLOW
ACROSS OUR REGION. FLOW APPEARS A BIT TOO NORTHERLY FOR MAXIMUM
FETCH ACROSS THE LAKES...AND THERE WILL BE NO UPSTREAM CONNECTIONS
BUT THERE WILL BE GOOD MOISTURE AND UPSLOPE FACTORS TONIGHT.
STILL...ALL MESOSCALE MODEL QPF AND PATTERN RECOGNITION DOES NOT
SUPPORT ENOUGH CONFIDENCE IN REACHING WARNING LEVEL CRITERIA...SO
WILL HOIST LAKE SNOW ADVISORIES FOR CHAUT/CATT FOR TONIGHT AND
SUNDAY...WITH ACCUMS IN 3-5 INCH RANGE EACH 12 HOURS. THIS WILL BE
PRIMARILY ALONG RIDGE WITH MUCH LESS AT LOWER ELEVS (DKK, JHW).

ELSEWHERE...WILL CARRY CHC POPS TONIGHT ON NW FLOW...LITTLE
ACCUM...PERHAPS LOCALLY AN INCH. CONDITIONS BECOME FAVORABLE FOR LK
EFF SE OF LK ONT TOO...BUT NOT UNTIL LATER TONIGHT...SO WILL HOLD
OFF ON FLAGS FOR NOW. CONFIDENCE IS HIGH FOR ADVISORY LEVEL SNOW
EVENTUALLY...BUT WARNING LEVEL IS MORE QUESTIONABLE. SEE SHORT TERM
DISC BELOW FOR FURTHER DETAILS.

TEMPS UNCHANGED...M20S OR SO.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
THE SYNOPTIC SCALE WEATHER PATTERN DURING THIS PERIOD WILL FEATURE
OUR UPPER LEVEL LOW SLOWLY EXITING OUT ACROSS NEW ENGLAND INTO THE
WESTERN ATLANTIC...WITH RIDGING AT ALL LEVELS GRADUALLY BUILDING
EASTWARD INTO NEW YORK STATE IN ITS WAKE. AN INITIAL COLD MOIST
NORTHWESTERLY FLOW AROUND THE BACKSIDE OF THE DEPARTING LOW WILL
RESULT IN CONTINUED LAKE EFFECT AND UPSLOPE SNOW SHOWERS ON
SUNDAY...BEFORE THESE DIMINISH SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY IN RESPONSE
TO INCREASING DRYING AND SUBSIDENCE ASSOCIATED WITH THE APPROACHING
RIDGE.

LOOKING A LITTLE MORE CLOSELY AT THE FORECAST DETAILS...SUNDAY WILL
FEATURE THE MOST ORGANIZED LAKE EFFECT SNOWS OF THIS PERIOD AS A
GENERAL NORTHWESTERLY FLOW OF SUFFICIENTLY DEEP MOISTURE CONTINUES
TO CIRCULATE ACROSS THE LOWER LAKES AND NEW YORK STATE. WITH THE
FLOW BACKING A LITTLE FROM NORTHWEST TO WEST-NORTHWEST DURING THE
COURSE OF THE DAY...THE MOST FAVORED AREAS FOR LAKE SNOWS WILL BE
FOUND SOUTHEAST OF THE LAKES. THESE WILL GENERALLY BE FROM THE
EASTERN SUBURBS OF ROCHESTER TO OSWEGO COUNTY DOWNWIND OF LAKE
ONTARIO...AND ALONG AND INLAND FROM THE CHAUTAUQUA RIDGE DOWNWIND OF
LAKE ERIE...WHERE OROGRAPHIC INFLUENCES WILL ALSO COME INTO PLAY
GIVEN THE NEARLY ORTHOGONAL NATURE OF THE FLOW RELATIVE TO THE
TERRAIN. IN BOTH OF THESE AREAS...THE SETUP LOOKS GOOD ENOUGH FOR
SOME ADVISORY-TYPE ACCUMULATIONS TO BE REALIZED...PARTICULARLY
DOWNWIND OF LAKE ERIE WHERE ADDED LIFT FROM THE TERRAIN WILL COME
INTO PLAY. ELSEWHERE...THE MOIST UPSLOPE FLOW WILL ALSO HELP TO
GENERATE A LIKELIHOOD OF SOME ADDITIONAL SNOW SHOWERS/NUISANCE-
TYPE ACCUMS ACROSS THE NORTH COUNTRY...WHILE THE REMAINDER OF THE
AREA WILL SEE A SOMEWHAT LESSER CHANCE OF MORE SCATTERED SNOW
SHOWERS.

DURING SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY...THE GENERAL WEST-NORTHWESTERLY FLOW
WILL CONTINUE...HOWEVER THE LARGER-SCALE ENVIRONMENT WILL BECOME
INCREASINGLY HOSTILE TO LAKE EFFECT PROCESSES AS MODEST WARM AIR
ADVECTION FROM THE NORTH BEGINS...IN CONJUNCTION WITH INCREASING
AMOUNTS OF DRYING/SUBSIDENCE. ALL OF THIS WILL RESULT IN INVERSION
HEIGHTS CRASHING TO AROUND 3 KFT DURING THE COURSE OF THIS
PERIOD...WHICH WILL EFFECTIVELY SQUASH THE LAKE EFFECT WHILE ALSO
ELIMINATING THE NECESSARY MOISTURE FROM THE PRIME DENDRITIC SNOW
GROWTH REGION. ACCORDINGLY...HAVE INDICATED A FAIRLY RAPID DECREASE
IN PRECIPITATION CHANCES EAST-SOUTHEAST OF THE LAKES SUNDAY NIGHT
AND MONDAY...WITH THE LAKE ERIE LES EXPECTED TO BE PRETTY MUCH DEAD
BY MIDDAY MONDAY...AND THE LAKE ONTARIO LES LIKELY FOLLOWING SUIT BY
EARLY MONDAY EVENING. ELSEWHERE...THE LARGER-SCALE SUBSIDENCE AND
DRYING WILL ALSO HELP TO BRING AN END TO ANY LINGERING UPSLOPE AND
MORE GENERAL SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS...LEAVING BEHIND A DRY AND QUIET
NIGHT FOR MONDAY NIGHT.

AS FOR TEMPS...THESE WILL REMAIN AT SEASONABLY COLD LEVELS THROUGH
THE PERIOD...WITH DAYTIME HIGHS IN THE 20S...AND NIGHTTIME LOWS
GENERALLY RANGING FROM THE UPPER SINGLE DIGITS TO MID TEENS.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
DURING TUESDAY...SURFACE LOW PRESSURE WILL TRACK NORTHEAST JUST
OFFSHORE OF THE MID ATLANTIC COASTLINE. AS THIS OCCURS...ASSOCIATED
INVERTED TROUGHING EXTENDING BACK TO THE NORTHWEST OF THE LOW CENTER
WILL ALSO LIFT NORTH INTO PA...SPREADING ASSOCIATED MOISTURE AND
WEAK LIFT NORTHWARD INTO NEW YORK STATE. THIS WILL RESULT IN A SOUTH
TO NORTH INCREASE IN CLOUD COVER DURING THE DAY...ALONG WITH AN
INCREASING CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS DURING THE AFTERNOON. DECENT SNOW
SHOWER CHANCES WILL THEN CONTINUE THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT AS THE LOW
TRACKS TO A POSITION SOUTHEAST OF CAPE COD...AND ITS TRAILING
INVERTED TROUGH LIFTS NORTH INTO NEW YORK STATE.

AS THE SURFACE LOW DEEPENS OFF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST ON WEDNESDAY...
A COLDER NORTH TO NORTHWEST FLOW WILL SET UP ACROSS NEW YORK STATE.
COMBINED WITH PERSISTENT MOISTURE CONVERGENCE ALONG THE
AFOREMENTIONED INVERTED TROUGH...THIS WILL RESULT IN A CONTINUED
CHANCE FOR SNOW SHOWERS BOTH WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
THEREAFTER...SLOWLY DIMINISHING PCPN CHANCES ARE EXPECTED FOR
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AS THE NORTH TO NORTHWESTERLY FLOW WEAKENS IN
ADVANCE OF AN APPROACHING SURFACE RIDGE.

WITH REGARD TO TEMPERATURES...THESE ARE EXPECTED TO AVERAGE A FEW
DEGREES BELOW NORMAL THROUGH MUCH OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
LIGHT SNOW THAT IS DEVELOPING ALONG THE SFC TROUGH WHICH EXTENDS
FROM E MICH TO NEAR ERIE WILL BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD THIS MORNING AS
THE CLOSED UPPER LOW MOVES SOUTHEAST ACROSS LK ERIE. CURRENT
OBSERVATIONS SHOW MAINLY VFR CIGS AHEAD OF THE SURFACE TROUGH WHERE
EAST TO SOUTHEAST DOWNSLOPING WINDS PREVAIL...WHILE VSBYS ARE
OCCASIONALLY LOWERING TO MVFR AT KJHW. EXPECT THIS GENERAL TREND TO
CONTINUE UNTIL MID MORNING AT MOST TAF SITES. SINCE KJHW WILL BE
IMPACTED THE MOST BY -SN...EXPECT MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS THERE
SOONER. CONDITIONS WILL DETERIORATE LATER TODAY TO MVFR AS SFC WINDS
TURN MORE NORTHERLY WITH LOWER CIGS AND SNOW SHOWERS THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

.OUTLOOK...
SUNDAY...AREAS OF MVFR IN SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS...MORE PREVALENT
SOUTHEAST OF THE LAKES.
MONDAY AND TUESDAY...MAINLY VFR.
WEDNESDAY...POSSIBLE IFR IN A CHANCE OF SNOW.

&&

.MARINE...
LIGHT E-SE WINDS WERE THE RULE EARLY THIS MORNING AS A NW-SE
SURFACE TROUGH DEVELOPS JUST WEST OF THE AREA. THIS TROUGH WILL
CONSOLIDATE INTO A SFC LOW OVER WESTERN PA BY EARLY AFTERNOON WHICH
WILL THEN RACE EAST TO THE COAST. WINDS HERE WILL THEN TURN
NORTHERLY AND THEN NORTHWEST AND INCREASE GRADUALLY LATER THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL EVENTUALLY BE
NEED FOR NORTHWEST WINDS AND WAVES...BUT NOT UNTIL NEAR DAYBREAK
SUNDAY.
