AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
321 PM EST THU JAN 6 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A WINTRY PATTERN WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE NEXT WEEK WITH CHILLY
TEMPERATURES AND SEVERAL PERIODS OF SNOW. AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE
WILL MOVE SLOWLY ACROSS THE REGION TONIGHT THROUGH THE FIRST PART OF
THE WEEKEND WITH LIGHT SNOW TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY. THE SNOW WILL
BE SOMEWHAT HEAVIER ACROSS THE WESTERN SOUTHERN TIER AND EAST OF
LAKE ONTARIO. A DRIER PERIOD IS EXPECTED EARLY NEXT WEEK AS HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE GREAT LAKES REGION.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
LAKE EFFECT HAS ENDED THIS AFTERNOON...ALLOWING OUR ATTENTION TO
TURN BACK TO THE SYNOPTIC SCALE. 20Z SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWING LOW
PRESSURE CENTERED NEAR MANITOULIN ISLAND IN NORTHERN LAKE HURON.
REGIONAL RADAR IMAGERY SHOWING LIGHT SNOW OVERSPREADING THE WESTERN
SOUTHERN TIER AND EASTERN LAKE ERIE ALREADY...SUPPORTED BY A WEAK
WARM ADVECTION/ISENTROPIC LIFT REGIME AHEAD OF THE LOW. UPSTREAM
RADARS SHOW THIS LIGHT SNOW EXTENDING ALL THE WAY BACK INTO SOUTHERN
LOWER MICHIGAN.

SHORT TERM MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN REASONABLY GOOD AGREEMENT TONIGHT
THROUGH FRIDAY WITH THE SURFACE LOW MOVING EAST TO SOUTHERN ONTARIO
AND THEN STALLING NEAR THE EASTERN SHORE OF GEORGIAN BAY THROUGH
FRIDAY. INITIAL WARM ADVECTION AND THEN HEIGHT FALLS/DPVA ASSOCIATED
WITH THE DIGGING MID LEVEL CLOSED LOW WILL SUPPORT A BROAD AREA OF
WEAK LIFT...MOVING SLOWLY EAST ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT THROUGH
FRIDAY. EVENTUALLY THE DIGGING MID LEVEL TROUGH WILL CAPTURE A PLUME
OF SOMEWHAT DEEPER ATLANTIC MOISTURE WHICH WILL BE TRANSPORTED INTO
EASTERN AND NORTHERN NY FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT...BRINGING SOME
ENHANCED SNOWFALL TOTALS TO THAT PART OF THE STATE.

LOOKING AT THE FORECAST DETAILS...LIGHT SNOW WILL OVERSPREAD THE CWA
FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST THIS EVENING...REACHING THE EASTERN LAKE
ONTARIO REGION SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT. EXPECT ACCUMULATIONS TO ONLY
BE AN INCH OR SO IN MOST AREAS THROUGH DAYBREAK FRIDAY. ACROSS
WESTERN NY SOME LAKE ENHANCEMENT MAY COMPLICATE MATTERS HOWEVER. THE
AIRMASS REMAINS JUST COLD ENOUGH TO SUPPORT A LAKE RESPONSE...WITH
EQUILIBRIUM LEVELS RISING TO AROUND 8K FEET LATER TONIGHT AND
FRIDAY. INITIALLY THERE IS TOO MUCH SHEAR THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF
TONIGHT...BUT LATER ON THE FLOW BEGINS TO ALIGN BETTER OUT OF THE
SOUTHWEST. THIS MAY BRING A VERY BRIEF PERIOD OF LAKE ENHANCEMENT TO
SOUTHERN NIAGARA AND NORTHERN ERIE COUNTY FOR AN HOUR OR TWO...THEN
THE MEAN BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS QUICKLY VEER MORE TO THE WSW WHICH
WILL CARRY LAKE ENHANCEMENT INTO SKI COUNTRY AND THE WESTERN
SOUTHERN TIER. LAKE INDUCED INSTABILITY AND LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE
APPEAR TO MAXIMIZE DURING THIS TIME FRAME...SO MAY SEE A BURST OF
DECENT LAKE ENHANCEMENT IN THIS AREA LATE TONIGHT AND FRIDAY
MORNING. WILL ISSUE A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR THIS EVENING
THROUGH NOON FRIDAY FOR S.ERIE/WYOMING/CHAU/CATT COUNTIES TO COVER
THE COMBO OF SYNOPTIC AND LAKE ENHANCEMENT. LOOK FOR TOTALS OF 3-6
INCHES IN THIS AREA. FARTHER NORTH IN BUFFALO...THE LAKE ENHANCEMENT
IS VERY BRIEF AND WILL PROBABLY ONLY ADD AN INCH OR TWO ONTO THE
SYNOPTIC SNOW...SO 2-3 INCHES LOOK GOOD THERE.

ON FRIDAY THE LAKE ENHANCEMENT SHOULD TAPER OFF TO SCATTERED SNOW
SHOWERS BY MIDDAY AS DRIER LOW LEVEL AIR MOVES INTO WESTERN NY AND
SYNOPTIC SUPPORT SHIFTS EAST. FARTHER EAST...SOMEWHAT STEADIER
SYNOPTIC SNOW WILL LAST THROUGH ABOUT MIDDAY IN THE GENESEE
VALLEY...AND ALL DAY EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO. EVENTUALLY SOME DEEPER
ATLANTIC MOISTURE BECOMES ENTRAINED IN THE MID LEVEL CIRCULATION
WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR SOME ENHANCED SNOWFALL RATES ACROSS THE NORTH
COUNTRY. EXPECT THE GREATEST TOTALS TO BE FOUND IN UPSLOPE AREAS OF
THE TUG HILL IN SOUTHERN LEWIS AND EASTERN OSWEGO COUNTY WHERE 3-5
INCHES IS POSSIBLE THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING...WITH MORE TO COME FRIDAY
NIGHT. WITH THIS IN MIND...WILL ISSUE A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR
OSWEGO/JEFF/LEWIS COUNTY FOR LATE TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING.
THIS WILL BE A LONG DURATION EVENT WITH FAIRLY MINOR SNOWFALL
RATES...BUT DURATION WILL ALLOW SNOW TO ADD UP OVER TIME. THERE IS
SOME POTENTIAL FOR WARNING CRITERIA ACROSS THE TUG HILL IF THE AXIS
OF BEST MOISTURE CONVERGENCE DEVELOPS OVER THE FAVORED UPSLOPE
AREAS...BUT CONFIDENCE IN THE PLACEMENT OF THIS IS NOT GREAT ENOUGH
FOR A WARNING YET. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR MODEL AND OBSERVATIONAL
TRENDS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
THE DEEP UPPER LOW DIVING THAT WILL BE DIVING SOUTHEAST FROM THE
CENTRAL GREAT LAKES IS FORECAST TO REACH WESTERN NEW YORK/PA BY
SATURDAY MORNING...THEN SLIDE OFF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST SATURDAY
NIGHT AND SUNDAY. THE ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW WILL REMAIN OFF THE NEW
ENGLAND COAST...WHILE A LOW LEVEL SURFACE TROUGH EXTENDS WEST INTO
EASTERN AND NORTHERN NEW YORK STATE THROUGH SATURDAY. STILL LOOKS
LIKE THE BEST LOW LEVEL MOISTURE CONVERGENCE WILL BE FOCUSED ALONG
THIS TROUGH. THIS WILL MAINTAIN PERIODS OF STEADY SNOW ACROSS THE
NORTH COUNTRY THROUGH AT LEAST FRIDAY NIGHT. WILL MAINTAIN A GRADUAL
EAST TO WEST DECREASE IN POPS FARTHER TO THE WEST WHERE THE IMPACT
FROM THE LOW LEVEL TROUGH WILL NOT BE AS STRONG. THE EXCEPTION TO
THIS GENERAL TREND WILL BE SOUTHEAST OF LAKE ERIE WHERE THE
WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW BEHIND THE TROUGH COULD RESULT IN SOME LAKE
ENHANCED SNOW. THE PRESENCE OF LOW LEVEL SHEAR SHOULD HELP TO KEEP
ACCUMULATIONS BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA THOUGH.

AS THE SURFACE TROUGH PULLS OUT TO THE EAST SATURDAY...THE FOCUS
WILL SHIFT MORE TO LAKE EFFECT...ESPECIALLY DURING THE AFTERNOON
WHEN THE LOW LEVEL WINDS WILL LINE UP BETTER FROM THE NORTHWEST.
ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL STILL BE IN PLACE...BUT THE SHORT
NORTHWEST FETCH AND ANTICIPATED LACK OF CONNECTIONS TO UPSTREAM
LAKES MAY HELP TO KEEP ACCUMULATIONS DOWN A BIT.

WE WILL STILL BE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF A DEEP LAYERED MOIST
CYCLONIC FLOW INTO SATURDAY NIGHT. THEREFORE...WILL MAINTAIN LIKELY
POPS FOR MEASURABLE SNOW SOUTHEAST OF THE LAKES WHERE THERE WILL BE
AN ADDITIONAL COMPONENT TO LIFT DUE TO NORTHWEST UPSLOPE FLOW.

SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT...THERE WILL BE A GRADUAL WEST TO EAST
DECREASE IN MOISTURE AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS EAST FROM THE CENTRAL
GREAT LAKES. A CORRESPONDING WEST TO EAST DECREASE IN POPS WILL
REFLECTED DURING THIS PERIOD.

SEASONABLY COLD TEMPERATURES WILL BE THE RULE.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
EXPECT RELATIVELY BENIGN WEATHER FOR OUR CWA DURING THIS TIME PERIOD
WITH THE MAIN WEATHER MAKER EXPECTED TO REMAIN WELL TO OUR EAST.

BEGINNING ON MONDAY...ANY LINGERING LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOULD TAPER
OFF AS HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO RIDGE IN FROM THE WEST AND BRINGS
DRIER AIR INTO THE REGION. TEMPERATURES ALOFT ARE ALSO EXPECTED TO
MODERATE ABOVE -10C AS THE BACK EDGE  OF THE AFOREMENTIONED UPPER
LEVEL TROUGH MOVES OFF THE CANADIAN MARITIMES COAST.

LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPING OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST MONDAY NIGHT IS
FORECAST TO HEAD TO THE NORTHEAST AND REMAIN JUST OFF THE MIDDLE
ATLANTIC COAST TUESDAY. SOME OF THE LIGHT SNOW FROM THIS SYSTEM MAY
REACH THE SOUTHERN TIER DURING THE AFTERNOON.

AS THE SURFACE LOW DEEPENS OFF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST ON
WEDNESDAY...A COLDER NORTH TO NORTHWEST FLOW WILL SET UP OVER OUR
REGION. AS USUAL...THIS STORM SYSTEM WILL HAVE NO DIRECT IMPACT ON
OUR WEATHER...JUST THE STANDARD SNOW SHOWER THREAT. SOME LAKE EFFECT
SNOW MAY LINGER EAST OF THE LAKE ON THURSDAY...BUT MINIMAL
ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED WITH HIGH PRESSURE FORECAST TO BUILD IN
FROM THE OHIO VALLEY.

&&

.AVIATION /21Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
MID LEVEL CLOUDS ARE SLOWLY OVERSPREADING THE AREA FROM WEST TO EAST
EARLY THIS AFTERNOON IN ADVANCE OF THE NEXT SYSTEM. LIGHT SNOW HAS
ALREADY SPREAD INTO THE WESTERN SOUTHERN TIER INCLUDING KJHW WITH
VSBY DROPPING TO IFR IN LIGHT SNOW. EXPECT THIS TO CONTINUE THROUGH
MUCH OF THE AFTERNOON ACROSS THE SOUTHERN TIER...THEN LIGHT SNOW
WILL OVERSPREAD THE REST OF THE REGION EARLY THIS EVENING WITH VSBY
