AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
1247 PM EST TUE JAN 18 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL APPROACH THE REGION TODAY AND BRING
A MIXED BAG OF PRECIPITATION TO THE AREA. TEMPERATURES WILL RISE
ABOVE FREEZING FOR THE FIRST TIME IN OVER 2 WEEKS IN MOST PLACES
TODAY. COLDER AIR WILL FILTER BACK INTO THE REGION TONIGHT ALONG
WITH SOME LIGHT SNOW. THE LIGHT SNOW WILL SLOWLY TAPER OFF LATER
WEDNESDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO BUILD INTO THE GREAT LAKES.
ANOTHER COMPLEX AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE THROUGH THE GREAT
LAKES AND MID ATLANTIC TOWARDS THE END OF THE WEEK WITH ACCUMULATING
SNOW POSSIBLE THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
1145 AM UPDATE...HAVE DROPPED THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR THE
EASTERN LAKE ONTARIO REGION. TEMPS HAVE RISEN ABOVE THE
FREEZING MARK AND RADAR SHOWS THAT MOST PRECIP IS MOVING NORTHEAST
AND OUT OF THE AREA.

THROUGH THIS MORNING THE COMBINATION OF THE WEAK SHORTWAVE AND
ISENTROPIC LIFT WILL PRODUCE AN AREA OF LIGHT PRECIP MOVING FROM
SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA. THE PRECIP SHOULD ONLY LAST
FOR A FEW HOURS AT MOST LOCATIONS. BOTH NAM AND GFS POINT SOUNDINGS
CONTINUE TO SUGGEST A WARM LAYER ALOFT...WITH THE WARMEST TEMPS
ALOFT FOUND ALONG THE THRUWAY CORRIDOR FROM THE FINGER LAKES BACK TO
WESTERN NY...WITH COOLER TEMPS ALOFT NEAR THE PA STATE LINE. THIS
WILL LIKELY LEAD TO A MIXED BAG OF FREEZING RAIN...SLEET AND SNOW
FOR A FEW HOURS THIS MORNING FROM THE NIAGARA FRONTIER EAST TO THE
GENESEE VALLEY AND NORTHERN FINGER LAKES. MAY ALSO SEE A BRIEF MIX
IN CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY AS WELL BEFORE TEMPS RISE ABOVE FREEZING ALONG
THE LAKESHORE. AMOUNTS WILL BE VERY LIGHT WITH JUST A FEW HUNDREDTHS
LIQUID EQUIVALENT...BUT IT DOES NOT TAKE MUCH TO RESULT IN ICY
TRAVEL ON UNTREATED ROADS. ANOTHER CONSIDERATION...AFTER ALL THE
COLD WEATHER AND TIME OF DAY IN THE EARLY MORNING...PAVEMENT TEMPS
MAY LAG BEHIND AIR TEMPS FOR A FEW HOURS WITH FREEZING RAIN STILL
POSSIBLE BRIEFLY EVEN AS AIR TEMPS MOVE JUST ABOVE FREEZING.

DOWN IN THE INTERIOR SOUTHERN TIER...MODEL POINT SOUNDINGS SUGGEST
THE COLUMN WILL STAY COLD ENOUGH FOR MAINLY LIGHT SNOW ACROSS
CATTARAUGUS AND ALLEGANY COUNTY WITH A DUSTING TO AN INCH
ACCUMULATION POSSIBLE THERE.

BY MID MORNING EXPECT THE STEADIER PRECIP TO BE PUSHING EAST OF THE
WESTERN END OF THE STATE. SURFACE TEMPS WILL MOVE ABOVE FREEZING
WITH ANY LINGERING PRECIP CHANGING OVER TO SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS
BEFORE ENDING BY MIDDAY.

FARTHER EAST...THIS INITIAL BATCH OF WARM ADVECTION PRECIP WILL
ARRIVE BY DAYBREAK OR SHORTLY AFTER. IN ADDITION...A SURGE OF
MOISTURE AND LIFT ALONG THE EDGE OF A DEVELOPING COASTAL LOW WILL
ALSO CLIP THE EASTERN LAKE ONTARIO REGION TODAY...ESPECIALLY LEWIS
COUNTY. THIS WILL BRING SOMEWHAT GREATER QPF TO THAT REGION TODAY
WITH UP TO A QUARTER INCH LIQUID EQUIVALENT. MODEL POINT SOUNDINGS
SUGGEST THIS WILL BE SNOW INITIALLY AT ONSET...BUT BOTH THE NAM AND
GFS SHOW ENOUGH WARM AIR ALOFT FOR A FEW HOURS DURING THE LATE
MORNING THROUGH MID AFTERNOON TO ALLOW FOR A MIX WITH SLEET AND
FREEZING RAIN FOR AT LEAST SOME OF THE AREA. EXPECT 1-2 INCHES OF
SNOW ACCUMULATION WITH UP TO A TENTH OF AN INCH OF ICE IN AREAS
WHICH REMAIN FREEZING RAIN FOR SEVERAL HOURS. FOR BOTH SNOW AND ICE
EXPECTED THE GREATER AMOUNTS TO BE EAST OF INTERSTATE 81. CLOSER TO
LAKE ONTARIO TEMPS SHOULD CREEP ABOVE FREEZING THIS AFTERNOON
DECREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR SNOW AND ICE ACCUMULATION. ALL OF THIS
PRECIP WILL BEGIN TO TAPER OFF AND END BY MID TO LATE AFTERNOON AS
THE INITIAL SURGE OF MOISTURE FROM THE DEVELOPING COASTAL MOVES INTO
NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND.

EXPECT MUCH OF THE AREA TO BE IN A DRY SLOT EARLY THIS EVENING
BETWEEN THE COASTAL LOW AND THE WEAK TROUGH TO OUR WEST. BY MID
EVENING MOISTURE AND LIFT FROM THE UPSTREAM TROUGH WILL MOVE BACK
INTO WESTERN NY WITH LIGHT SNOW DEVELOPING FROM WEST TO EAST. THE
SNOW MAY BEGIN AS A BRIEF PERIOD OF RAIN...BUT SOUNDINGS QUICKLY
COOL ENOUGH TO SUPPORT ALL SNOW BY MID TO LATE EVENING. THE SNOW
WILL GRADUALLY OVERSPREAD THE REST OF THE AREA OVERNIGHT.
ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE LIGHT...WITH AN INCH OR SO ACROSS WESTERN NY
AND UP TO 2 INCHES ALONG THE CHAUTAUQUA RIDGE WITH SOME UPSLOPE
CONTRIBUTION LATE TONIGHT. FROM THE GENESEE VALLEY EAST EXPECT LESS
THAN AN INCH BY DAYBREAK.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
COLDER AIR WILL BE WORKING ITS WAY BACK ACROSS THE REGION WEDNESDAY
ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE LOW WORKING OFF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST.
DEEP MOISTURE AND CYCLONIC UPSLOPE SHOULD GIVE MOST AREAS A MINOR
ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL DURING THE DAY WEDNESDAY. PROBABLY IN THE
1-3 INCH RANGE ALTHOUGH COULD BE A BUT HIGHER ALONG THE CHAUTAUQUA
RIDGE. THE COLDER AIR INFILTRATING THE AREA FROM THE NORTHWEST
WILL BRING STEADY OR SLOWLY FALLING TEMPERATURES.

WEAK RIDGING BUILDS IN LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY. STILL
COULD SEE SOME LINGERING LAKE ACTIVITY SOUTHEAST OFF THE LAKES BUT
ANYTHING ADDITIONAL DURING THIS TIME FRAME WILL BE LIMITED AS DRIER
AIR GETS ENTRAINED.

A DRY PERIOD THURSDAY WITH SOME SUNSHINE...BUT THEN CLOUDS WILL
INCREASE AHEAD OF NEXT NORTH-SOUTH TROUGH APPROACHING FROM THE WEST.
WILL MAINTAIN CHANCE FOR LIGHT SNOW DURING THE AFTERNOON IN THE
WEST.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
MODELS IN DECENT AGREEMENT NOW DURING THIS PERIOD...WITH THE
EXCEPTION OF SUNDAY. TEMPS WILL REMAIN WELL BELOW NORMAL DURING THIS
COLDEST TIME OF THE YEAR AND THAT IS NOTABLE. THE TROUGH NOTED ABOVE
WILL CROSS OUR AREA THURS NT AND FRI MORNING WITH SOME LIGHT SNOW
BEFORE SLOWING AND ALLOWING A SFC LOW TO DEVELOP OVER THE MID
ATLANTIC COAST WHICH WILL CAUSE MORE TROUBLE TO OUR EAST FRIDAY BUT
AGAIN TOO FAR EAST TO BOTHER US MUCH. BUT...SHOT OF ARCTIC AIR WILL
FOLLOW FRI AFTERNOON AND SATURDAY WITH A RIDGE BUILDING SOUTHWARD
FROM ONTARIO. VERY LITTLE LK EFFECT THIS TIME...WITH ERIE MOSTLY
FROZEN AND LITTLE FETCH OFF ONTARIO ON NORTHERLY FLOW. WILL CARRY
CHC POPS FRI NT SE OF LK ONTARIO...AND ONLY 20 POPS FOR A DRY
SAT/SAT NT. TEMPS WILL BE FRIGID THOUGH WITH 850 MB TEMPS OF
-20C...LOOK FOR MAXES IN TEENS AND MINS ZERO OR BELOW FRI NT AND
MAYBE SAT NT.

MODELS DIVERGE A BIT ON SUNDAY...WITH GFS TAKING WEAK
DISTURBANCE/CLIPPER THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY AND WELL SOUTH OF US
WITH HIGH PRESSURE REMAINING IN CONTROL. THIS WOULD RESULT IN DRY WX
THROUGH SUNDAY AND MOST OF MONDAY WITH FRIGID TEMPS ON SUNDAY AND
SLIGHT MODERATION MONDAY. ECMWF TAKES THE CLIPPER NORTH OF OUR
REGION SUNDAY...THIS WOULD RESULT IN SOME SNOW SHOWER ACTIVITY
IMMEDIATELY AHEAD AND ESPECIALLY BEHIND IT...ALTHOUGH RIDGING
RETURNS FOR MONDAY. HPC SPLITS THE DIFFERENCE...SO FOR NOW WILL GO
WITH CHC POPS SUNDAY AND DRY MONDAY. TEMPS STILL BELOW NORMAL BUT
NOT QUITE AS HARSH.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
WARM SECTOR AHEAD OF APPROACHING COLD FRONT HAS RAISED TEMPS TO THE
MID TO UPPER 30S AND RESOLVED ANY FREEZING PRECIP ISSUES. EXPECT
GENERALLY VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH ABOUT 21Z THEN MVFR CIGS WILL
SPREAD FROM WEST TO EAST. LIGHT RAIN WILL PRECEDE THE COLD FRONT
BETWEEN 18Z TO 23Z IN THE WEST...AND 22Z TO -2Z EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO
DONT EXPECT THE RAIN TO REDUCE VSBYS. WITH THE ONSET OF LIGHT SNOW
AFTER 00Z WE CAN EXPECT LOWER MVFR CIGS AND IFR VSBY THROUGH 12Z
THEN MVFR CIGS AND VSBYS 12Z TO 18Z WEDNESDAY.

.OUTLOOK...
WEDNESDAY...IFR IN LIGHT SNOW EARLY IMPROVING TO MVFR LATER ON AS
SNOW DIMINISHES.
THURSDAY...MAINLY MVFR/VFR.
THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY...IFR IN SNOW.
SATURDAY...MAINLY VFR.
SUNDAY...MVFR IN LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS.

&&

.MARINE...
MODERATE SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MID MORNING. THIS
WIND DIRECTION KEEPS WAVE ACTION IN THE CANADIAN WATERS FOR THE MOST
PART...EXCEPT THE NORTHEAST END OF LAKE ONTARIO FROM STONY POINT TO
THE THOUSAND ISLANDS WHERE A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT
THROUGH MID MORNING. WINDS WILL SUBSIDE LATER TODAY AS THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT RELAXES. WINDS WILL SWING AROUND TO THE NORTHWEST LATER
TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY...WITH A BRIEF PERIOD OF SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY
CONDITIONS ON LAKE ERIE.

NOTE...YESTERDAY CLEAR SKIES ALLOWED FOR A GOOD LOOK AT LAKE ERIE
WITH ICE COVER NOW IN PLACE ALONG THE ENTIRE SHORELINE. THEREFORE
THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY PROGRAM HAS BEEN ENDED FOR THE SEASON ON
LAKE ERIE.
