HITCHCOCK/TJP/TMA

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
227 PM EST WED DEC 7 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE TRACKING ALONG A STALLED EAST COAST FRONT WILL BRING
LIGHT SNOW TO PARTS OF WESTERN AND CENTRAL NEW YORK THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING. AS THE LOW SLIDES OFF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST
TONIGHT...THE LIGHT SNOW WILL TAPER OFF...THEN GIVE WAY TO LIMITED
LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS LATER TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY MORNING.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BRING DRIER AND BREEZY CONDITIONS THURSDAY
AFTERNOON...BEFORE POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT LAKE EFFECT SNOW SETS UP
EAST OF THE LAKES THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
THE PRIMARY FOCUS FOR THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING WILL BE
ON THE LARGE SWATH OF RAIN THAT HAS SET UP WEST OF THE STALLED EAST
COAST FRONT. AS THE NORTHERN EDGE OF THE RAIN SHIELD CONTINUES TO
LIFT TO THE NORTHEAST THIS AFTERNOON...COLDER AIR ALOFT WILL BE
ADVECTING ACROSS WESTERN NEW YORK. THIS WILL CAUSE AN INITIAL MIX OF
RAIN AND SNOW TO CHANGE TO ALL SNOW ACROSS THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF
THE SOUTHERN TIER. RIGHT NOW...IT STILL LOOKS LIKE OUR SOUTHERN TIER
COUNTIES WILL STILL REMAIN ON THE FAR WESTERN EDGE OF THE MAIN PCPN
SHIELD AS A SURFACE WAVE MOVES NORTHEAST ALONG THE FRONT. A COUPLE
INCHES OF WET SNOW ARE POSSIBLE OVER ALLEGANY COUNTY THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING...BUT ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN UNDER THE
CRITERIA NEEDED FOR AN ADVISORY. THE NORTHERN EDGE OF THE SNOW WILL
EXTEND INTO PARTS OF THE GENESEE VALLEY...THE FINGER LAKES AND NORTH
COUNTRY...WITH GENERALLY LESS THAN AN INCH ACCUMULATION EXPECTED FOR
THESE AREAS THROUGH THIS EVENING.

AS THE LOW SLIDES OFF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST LATER TONIGHT...THE
DEEPER MOISTURE WILL ALSO SETTLE OFF TO THE EAST. THIS WILL CAUSE
ANY REMAINING SYNOPTIC SCALE SNOW TO CLEAR MOST OF THE CWA BY 06Z.

AS COLDER AIR DEEPENS BEHIND THE LOW LATER TONIGHT...SOME LAKE
EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED TO SET UP SOUTHEAST OF BOTH LAKES.
WHILE THE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE LOOKS ADEQUATE FOR SOME ACCUMULATING
SNOW...THE FAVORABLE DENDRITIC SNOW GROWTH REGION IS FORECAST TO
SHIFT TO THE EAST WITH DEPARTING NEW ENGLAND LOW. THEREFORE...EXPECT
ACCUMULATIONS TO REMAIN UNDER AN INCH.

ON THURSDAY...HIGH PRESSURE WILL RIDGE NORTH FROM THE MIDDLE
ATLANTIC STATES AND CAUSE THE BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS TO BACK TO THE
SOUTHWEST. AT THE SAME TIME...THE MODELS SHOW NOTICEABLY DRIER AIR
ADVECTING EAST ACROSS THE AREA AS THE DAY WEARS ON. AS A
RESULT...LINGERING SNOW SHOWERS OFF LAKE ONTARIO WILL CONTINUE TO
WEAKEN WHILE LIFTING SLOWLY TO THE NORTH. THE SNOW SHOWERS OFF LAKE
ERIE SHOULD END AROUND DAYBREAK THURSDAY.

THE PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN THE DEPARTING LOW AND MIDDLE ATLANTIC
SURFACE RIDGE WILL RESULT IN BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS LATE
THURSDAY MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY DOWNWIND OF THE
LAKES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
PRIMARY CONCERN FOR THE SHORT TERM PERIOD WILL BE POTENTIAL FOR LAKE
EFFECT SNOWS ACROSS PORTIONS OF WESTERN NEW YORK. A POLAR VORTEX
OVER HUDSON BAY WILL SEND A SERIES OF SHORTWAVES PINWHEELING ACROSS
THE REGION. THESE SHORTWAVES WILL HELP TO RAISE INVERSION HEIGHTS
AND PROVIDE A SOURCE OF ADDITIONAL LIFT TO ENHANCE LAKE EFFECT.

THE FIRST SHORTWAVE MOVES ACROSS SOUTHERN ONTARIO AND THE FAR
NORTHERN PORTIONS OF NEW YORK LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY
THURSDAY MORNING. CONDITIONS ACROSS BOTH LAKES WITH REGARDS TO
INSTABILITY AND FETCH ARE FAVORABLE WITH 850MB TEMPS RUNNING AROUND
-10C AND WESTERLY WINDS. HOWEVER DRY AIR IN PLACE OVER THE REGION IS
THE LIMITING FACTOR. WITH THE SLIGHTLY MORE NORTHERLY POSITION OF
THE LOW...THINKING THAT GREATER FOCUS OF ANY LAKE EFFECT SNOW
SHOWERS WILL BE EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO WHERE THE SHORTWAVE MAY ENHANCE
LAKE EFFECT ENOUGH TO GET A FEW LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS GOING WITH UP TO
A HALF INCH POSSIBLE. LEFT LOW CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE CHAUTAUQUA
RIDGE GIVEN THE FAVORABLE SETUP OVER THE LAKE...THOUGH DRY AIR MAY
KEEP SNOWFALL LIMITED TO JUST A FEW FLURRIES. WITH 850MB TEMPS
AROUND -10C...EXPECT HIGHS TO TOP OUT JUST ABOVE FREEZING..WITH MID
30S POSSIBLE NEAR THE LAKES AND THE FINGER LAKES.

CHANCES FOR ACCUMULATING SNOWS LOOK BETTER THURSDAY NIGHT AS A SHOT
OF PACIFIC MOISTURE MOVING ACROSS THE NATIONS MIDSECTION ADVECTS
INTO THE REGION AHEAD OF A STRONG SHORTWAVE. WINDS BACKING MORE
SOUTHWESTERLY WILL ALSO SHIFT THE FOCUS OF SNOWFALL CHANCES TOWARDS
THE BUFFALO AREA...PARTICULARLY AFTER MIDNIGHT.

LAKE EFFECT SNOWFALL WILL CONTINUE THROUGH FRIDAY ACROSS AREAS
DOWNSTREAM FROM LAKE ERIE AND ONTARIO AS THE POTENT SHORTWAVE MAKES
ITS APPROACH. THE SYNOPTIC SETUP CONTINUES TO BE FAVORABLE ACROSS
THE REGION WITH PLENTY OF COLD AIR OVER THE LAKES AND SYNOPTIC LIFT
TO BOOT. HOWEVER IT IS STILL FAR ENOUGH OUT THAT SPECIFICS ARE A
LITTLE SKETCHY AS SLIGHT WIND SHIFTS CAN AFFECT SNOW BAND
PLACEMENT/INTENSITY. I HAVE ELECTED TO KEEP HIGHER POPS OVER THE
BUFFALO AREA LONGER AS MODELS TEND TO VEER THE WINDS WESTERLY A
LITTLE TOO QUICKLY...AS THEY ARE CURRENTLY TRYING TO DO FRIDAY
AFTERNOON.

FOR FRIDAY NIGHT...EXPECT SNOWFALL TO CONTINUE AT LEAST THROUGH THE
EVENING HOURS WITH BANDS MIGRATING SOUTHWARDS TO FOCUS MORE ON
CHAUTAUQUA/OSWEGO COUNTIES EAST OF LAKES ERIE/ONTARIO AS WINDS VEER
WESTERLY IN RESPONSE TO THE PASSAGE OF A WEAK COLD FRONT IMMEDIATELY
PRECEDING THE APPROACHING SHORTWAVE. THE SHORTWAVE MOVES OVERHEAD
SOMETIME LATE FRIDAY NIGHT OR SATURDAY DEPENDING ON THE MODEL OF
CHOICE. ONCE THE SHORTWAVE PASSES...INCREASING SUBSIDENCE ALOFT
SHOULD BRING AN END TO MOST OF THE LAKE EFFECT SHOWERS...HOWEVER AS
MENTIONED ABOVE THE TIMING OF THE SHORTWAVE PASSAGE IS NOT
COMPLETELY AGREED UPON BY THE MODELS...WITH THE GFS NOT BRINGING IT
THROUGH UNTIL LATER SATURDAY MORNING.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
INCREASING HEIGHTS ALOFT...AND SURFACE RIDGING LATER IN THE WEEKEND
AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK WILL END LAKE EFFECT SNOWS EARLY IN THE
PERIOD...THEN LOOKS QUIET AND DRY FROM SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY. AN
INTRUSION OF MODIFIED PACIFIC AIR OVERSPREADS THE AREA IN THE SUNDAY
THROUGH TUESDAY TIME FRAME...BRINGING TEMPERATURES BACK ABOVE NORMAL
WITH 40S QUITE POSSIBLE FOR BOTH MONDAY AND TUESDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
AT 18Z...THE MOIST NORTHERLY FLOW BEHIND THE STALLED EAST COAST
FRONT IS STILL GENERATING WIDESPREAD IFR CONDITIONS ACROSS A GOOD
PART OF THE AREA. THE EXCEPTION TO THIS GENERAL TREND IS SEEN AT
KBUF/KIAG WHERE DRIER AIR WORKING IN FROM THE WEST HAS ALLOWED
CONDITIONS TO IMPROVE TO VFR.

A LARGE SWATH OF RAIN FORMING WEST OF THE STALLED FRONT WILL LIFT
SLOWLY TO THE NORTH AS A WAVE MOVES NORTHEAST ALONG THE BOUNDARY.
THIS WILL MAINTAIN MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS AT MOST TAF SITES EAST OF
KIAG/KBUF THROUGH AT LEAST 00Z. AS THIS LOW PULLS OUT TOWARDS NEW
ENGLAND THIS EVENING...CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE GRADUALLY FROM WEST
TO EAST...REACHING VFR LEVELS AT MOST TAF SITES NORTH OF KJHW AROUND
03Z.

LATER TONIGHT AS COLDER AIR DEEPENS BEHIND THE DEPARTING LOW
OVERNIGHT...SOME LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS WILL SET UP EAST SOUTHEAST
OF THE LAKES. EXPECT LIMITED LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS TO END OFF
LAKE ERIE AROUND 12Z THURSDAY. OFF LAKE ONTARIO...WEAKENING
LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON WHILE LIFTING SLOWLY TO THE NORTH. OUTSIDE OF THE LAKE
EFFECT AREAS...EXPECT MAINLY SCT VFR CLOUDS WITH BRISK SOUTHWEST
WINDS FROM LATE MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON.

OUTLOOK...
THURSDAY NIGHT...MAINLY VFR. LOCAL MVFR/IFR EAST OF THE LAKES IN
LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS.
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...
A RELATIVE WEAK PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER THE LOWER LAKES WILL
STRENGTHEN LATER THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT AS A DEVELOPING LOW HEADS
NORTHEAST UP THE NEW ENGLAND COAST. A BRISK WEST TO SOUTHWEST FLOW
WILL REMAIN IN PLACE THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...RESULTING IN A HIGH
LIKELIHOOD OF SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS.

SCA WILL ALSO BE ISSUED FOR THE NIAGARA RIVER AND ST LAWRENCE RIVER
FOR THURSDAY.
