A MOIST CYCLONIC FLOW LINGERING BEHIND THE DEPARTING LOW MAY STILL
GENERATE SOME LIGHT SNOW EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO INTO MONDAY
MORNING...BUT LITTLE ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED. THE REST
OF THE AREA WILL SEE DECREASING CLOUDS AS HIGH PRESSURE AND DRIER
AIR SETTLE SOUTH FROM QUEBEC PROVINCE.

FAIR WEATHER WILL CONTINUE MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT WITH
HIGH PRESSURE FORECAST TO REMAIN IN PLACE OVER QUEBEC PROVINCE. WARM
AIR ADVECTION AHEAD OF A DEVELOPING SOUTHERN PLAINS LOW WILL BRING
AN INCREASE IN HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS DURING THIS PERIOD...BUT ANY PCPN
ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW SHOULD STAY WELL TO OUR WEST.

THE NORTHERLY FLOW BEHIND THE DEPARTING LOW WILL RESULT IN RATHER
COLD TEMPERATURES ON MONDAY WITH MOST AREAS STRUGGLING TO GET ABOVE
FREEZING. MONDAY NIGHT...TEMPERATURES WILL DIP INTO THE TEENS ACROSS
WESTERN NEW YORK AND THE GENESEE VALLEY WITH SINGLE DIGITS EXPECTED

LOW PRESSURE OVER THE PLAINS STATES HEADS NORTHEAST TOWARD THE GREAT
LAKES. MOISTURE SURGING AHEAD OF THIS LOW WILL BRING A CHANCE FOR
RAIN WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THE RAIN MAY BEGIN AS LIGHT SNOW
WEDNESDAY MORNING ACROSS THE WEST...AND DURING THE EARLY AFTERNOON
EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO. A COLD FRONT TRAILING SOUTH OF THE LOW WILL
CROSS NEW YORK STATE THURSDAY. EXPECT A FEW MORE RAIN SHOWERS TO
ACCOMPANY THE FRONT. COLDER AIR ASSOCIATED WITH A DEEPENING UPPER

FRIDAY. ANOTHER LOW TRACKING EAST FROM THE CENTRAL LAKES MAY BRING A
CHANCE FOR RAIN SHOWERS SATURDAY.

&&

ONTARIO AT 11Z. THIS BACKEDGE WILL SLOWLY PROGRESS ACROSS THE FAR
WESTERN COUNTIES LATER THIS MORNING AND AFTERNOON...OFFERING A SLOW
IMPROVEMENT TO SITES SUCH AS KBUF...KIAG AND KJHW.

SLOW IMPROVEMENT FOR KROC IS EXPECTED TO HOLD OFF UNTIL MID-LATE
AFTERNOON WHEN IFR CIGS WILL LIFT TO MVFR. SITES EAST OF LAKE
ONTARIO (KART) ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN AT IFR LEVELS THROUGH TONIGHT.

OUTLOOK...

WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...VFR/MVFR IN SHOWERS.

&&

.MARINE...
FRESH TO STRONG NORTHERLIES WILL BE FOUND ON BOTH LAKES TODAY INTO
TONIGHT...WITH THE STRONGEST WINDS ON LAKE ONTARIO. THE STRONG WINDS
WILL GENERATE WAVES OF UP TO 6 FEET...WHICH WILL SUPPORT THE SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORIES FROM THE IAG RVR TO MEXICO BAY.

AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS TO THE SOUTH FROM QUEBEC ON MONDAY...A MUCH
WEAKER SCF PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL TRANSLATE INTO GREATLY DIMINISHED
WIND SPEEDS AND LOWER WAVES. THE LIGHTER WINDS AND NON THREATENING
WAVE HEIGHTS WILL THEN PERSIST THROUGH THE DAY TUESDAY.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
RAINFALL AVERAGED AN INCH AND A HALF OVER THE NIAGARA FRONTIER
AND PARTS OF THE WESTERN SOUTHERN TIER AS WELL AS THE NORTH COUNTRY...
TO AN INCH OR LESS FROM THE GENESEE VALLEY EASTWARD. THIS AMOUNT
OF RAIN...COMBINED WITH SIGNIFICANT SNOWMELT...HAS LED TO
SUBSTANTIAL RISES TO TRIBUTARIES IN THE WESTERN COUNTIES. MOST OF
THESE TRIBUTARIES HAVE EITHER CRESTED OR HAVE SHOWN SIGNS OF
SLOWER RISES...WITH ONLY A SMALL HANDFUL OF TRIBUTARIES
THREATENING TO REACH BANKFUL.

ARE FALLING...BUT SLOWER RISERS SUCH AS ELLICOTT AND TONAWANDA
CREEKS ARE STILL RISING SLOWLY AND WILL APPROACH FLOOD STAGE
