Area forecast discussion, Feb 2, 3:24 AM EST, 48 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
324 AM EST WED FEB 2 2011
.SYNOPSIS...
THE LOW PRESSURE CENTER THAT BROUGHT A MIX OF SNOW...SLEET AND
FREEZING RAIN OVERNIGHT WILL CROSS WESTERN AND CENTRAL NEW YORK
TODAY...THEN MERGE A SECOND LOW THAT WILL BE MOVING OFF THE NEW
ENGLAND COAST TONIGHT. THIS PATH OF THE STORM WILL RESULT IN LESSER
SNOWFALL TOTALS TODAY...BUT THE MIXED PRECIPITATION WILL STILL MAKE
FOR HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE
AREA TONIGHT AND THURSDAY AND BRING A RETURN TO DRIER AND QUIETER
WEATHER.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
SIGNIFICANT UPDATES NEEDED FOR THIS FORECAST PACKAGE.
THE 08Z OBSERVATIONS AND THE ONE HOUR SNOW DEPTH ALGORITHM SHOW THAT
MIXED PCPN HAS ALREADY REACHED THE NIAGARA FRONTIER...IMPLYING THAT
THE WARMER AIR ALOFT HAS SURGED EVEN FARTHER TO THE NORTH THAN
ORIGINALLY EXPECTED. THE CENTER OF THE SURFACE LOW WAS LOCATED OVER
CENTRAL INDIANA. THE 3 HOUR PRESSURE CHANGE PLOT SUGGESTS THAT THE
LOW WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK TO THE NORTHEAST AND REACH WESTERN NEW
YORK BY LATE MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON. THIS PATH OF THE LOW WILL KEEP
THE DEFORMATION ZONE AND STEADIER SNOW MAINLY TO OUR NORTHWEST.
AT THE SAME TIME...THE WELL DEFINED DRY SLOT AHEAD OF THE UPPER
LEVEL LOW WILL BE WORKING ACROSS WESTERN AND CENTRAL NEW YORK. BASED
ON THESE TRENDS...THE SNOWFALL TOTALS WILL BE MUCH LESS THAN
ORIGINALLY EXPECTED. AS A RESULT...WE HAVE DECIDED TO DOWNGRADE THE
WINTER STORM WARNING TO A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR ALL AREAS
SOUTH OF THE NORTH COUNTRY. STILL LOOKS LIKE THE WARMER AIR ALOFT
WILL HAVE A HARDER TIME REACHING THE NORTH COUNTRY WHICH WILL STAY
ON THE COLDER SIDE OF THE MAIN STORM CENTER. THEREFORE...WILL LEAVE
UP THE WINTER STORM WARNINGS FOR OSWEGO...JEFFERSON AND LEWIS
COUNTIES...BUT WILL LOWER TOTAL SNOW ACCUMULATIONS.
AS THE SURFACE LOW HEADS INTO CENTRAL NEW YORK DURING THE
AFTERNOON...WRAP AROUND MOISTURE AND COLD AIR ADVECTION BEHIND THE
DEPARTING LOW WILL GENERATE MORE SNOW SHOWERS WITH A COUPLE INCHES
OF NEW SNOW EXPECTED.
BECAUSE THE SURFACE LOW WILL BE TRACKING ACROSS OUR CWA...THE WINDS
WILL BE SHIFTING DIRECTION AND WILL NOT BE AS STRONG. THIS SHOULD
HELP TO LESSEN THE IMPACT FROM BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW.
TONIGHT...THE SURFACE LOW WILL CONTINUE TO WEAKEN AND MERGE WITH THE
SECONDARY LOW THAT WILL BE MOVING OFF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST. THIS
WILL ALLOW LINGERING SNOW SHOWERS TO TAPER OFF FROM WEST TO EAST.
TEMPERATURES WILL MODERATE THIS MORNING AS THE SURFACE LOW CONTINUES
TO MOVE TOWARD WESTERN NEW YORK. AREA TEMPERATURES WILL THEN HOLD
STEADY OR FALL SLOWLY DURING THE AFTERNOON WITH COLD AIR ADVECTION
SETTING UP BEHIND THE LOW.
&&
.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
A CONFLUENT FLOW ALOFT WILL BE CENTERED OVER THE OHIO VALLEY ON
THURSDAY...AND THIS WILL SUPPORT EXPANSIVE SFC HIGH PRESSURE THAT
WILL EXTEND FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS TO THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC COAST.
THE SUBSIDENCE ASSOCIATED FROM THE CONFLUENT FLOW WILL COMBINE WITH
A DEEPENING DRY AIRMASS TO ALLOW FOR THE RETURN OF SUNSHINE TO THE
REGION BY MIDDAY THURSDAY...ALTHOUGH SOME WEAK LAKE EFFECT SNOW
SHOWERS COULD BE FOUND SOUTHEAST OF BOTH LAKES.
THIS WILL MAINLY BE THE CASE SOUTHEAST OF LAKE ONTARIO WHERE AN OPEN
LAKE AND A LONGER 310 FETCH WILL HELP LAKE SNOW SHOWERS ACCUMULATE
AN INCH OR LESS FROM ROCHESTER TO NEAR SYRACUSE. H85 TEMPS OF -12C
WILL BARELY BE COLD ENOUGH FOR LAKE INDUCED CONVECTION...SO THE
ACTIVITY WILL CERTAINLY NOT BE VERY IMPRESSIVE. AS THE SFC HIGH
BUILDS ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY DURING THE COURSE OF THE DAY
THURSDAY...THE WINDS WILL BACK TO THE WEST AND LIFT ANY LIGHT LAKE
SNOW SHOWERS/FLURRIES NORTH ACROSS THE TUG TO THE NORTH COUNTRY.
TEMPS THURSDAY WILL REMAIN BELOW NORMAL WITH HIGHS FORECAST TO
BASICALLY REACH THE LOW TO MID 20S. THE EXCEPTION WILL BE OVER MUCH
OF LEWIS COUNTY WHERE TEMPS SHOULD NOT CLIMB OUT OF THE TEENS.
THE SURFACE HIGH WILL BE CENTERED OVER THE OHIO VALLEY AND MID
ATLANTIC STATES THURSDAY NIGHT...SO FAIR WEATHER WILL REMAIN IN
PLACE OVER OUR REGION.
ON FRIDAY...A CLOSED LOW OVER WEST TEXAS IS EXPECTED TO OPEN UP AND
LIFT OUT ACROSS ARKANSAS. A TRANSITORY DOWNSTREAM RIDGE WILL BUILD
OVER THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY AND LOWER GREAT LAKES IN THE PROCESS...
AND THIS SHOULD SUPPLY OUR REGION WITH ONE OF THE SUNNIER DAYS IN
RECENT MEMORY.
THE RELATIVELY NICE WEATHER WILL BE SHORT LIVED THOUGH AS THE POTENT
SHORTWAVE OVER THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WILL QUICKLY LIFT
NORTHEAST ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY FRIDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL SPAWN A
COMPLEX AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER THE MID ATLANTIC STATES BY
DAYBREAK SATURDAY...WITH RICH MOISTURE LIFTING NORTH TOWARDS OUR
REGION. LIGHT SNOW COULD LIFT ACROSS THE SOUTHERN TIER BY
DAYBREAK...BUT THE REGION IN GENERAL SHOULD STAY PCPN FREE.
FOR SATURDAY...THE SHORTWAVE WILL LIFT ACROSS PENNSYLVANIA WHILE THE
SFC REFLECTION WILL DEEPEN ALONG THE NEW JERSEY COAST. WHILE THE
STRONGEST LOW LEVEL DYNAMICS IN THIS SCENARIO WILL BE WELL TO OUR
EAST...A 150 KT H25 JET RACING ACROSS EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA WILL
PLACE OUR REGION UNDER AN AREA OF IMPRESSIVE JET INDUCED LIFT (LEFT
FRONT EXIT REGION). HAVE THUS RAISED POPS ACROSS THE REGION TO
LIKELY FOR ALL AREAS...WITH HIGH LIKELY EAST OF A ROC TO DSV LINE.
THE SHORTWAVE WILL QUICKLY MOVE AWAY SATURDAY NIGHT...SO THE
WIDESPREAD SNOW FALL WILL TAPER OFF TO SCT SNOW SHOWERS.
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
TEMPERATURES WILL AVERAGE CLOSE TO NORMAL FOR THE MAJORITY OF THIS
PERIOD...BUT MERCURY READINGS WILL LIKELY TAKE ANOTHER PLUNGE BY MID
WEEK IN THE WAKE OF ANOTHER WIDESPREAD PCPN EVENT. SOME DETAILS...
AS THE EAST COAST SYSTEM PULLS AWAY TO THE EAST SUNDAY AND SUNDAY
NIGHT...A SECOND SHORTWAVE WILL SWEEP ACROSS SOUTHERN ONTARIO. THIS
FEATURE COULD GENERATE SOME SCT -SHSN ACROSS OUR REGION...WITH SOME
WEAK (H85 TEMPS ARND -8C) LAKE ENHANCEMENT POSSIBLE EAST OF LK
ONTARIO.
A QUICK BREAK WILL THEN BE POSSIBLE ON MONDAY AS A DEVELOPING
COMPLEX STORM WILL MOVE ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY.
MODELS VARY ON THE TIMING OF THIS NEXT PACIFIC STORM SYSTEM...BUT A
MODEL CONSENSUS BRINGS SNOW ACROSS THE REGION FROM WEST TO EAST
MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY.
&&
.AVIATION /09Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
SNOW HAS SPREAD RAPIDLY ACROSS WESTERN NY AS OF 06Z WITH THE
LEADING EDGE OVER OSWEGO COUNTY. IT WILL REACH KART BY 08Z. THE
SNOW WILL BE HEAVY AT TIMES FOR A FEW HOURS...BUT THERE IS A SHARP
DRY SLOT WHICH WILL RACE INTO THE REGION FROM THE SOUTHWEST AND
REDUCE THE RATE OF PRECIPITATION....BY AROUND 10Z AT BUF/IAG/JHW
AND 11-12Z AT ROC. WILL CARRY 1/4SM +SN UNTIL THEN. IN
ADDITION...THE SNOW HAS CHANGED TO SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN ACROSS
THE SOUTHERN TIER AND THIS CHANGEOVER MAY BRIEFLY REACH KBUF
AROUND 09-10Z.
LIGHT SNOW AND FREEZING DRIZZLE WILL PREVAIL TODAY AFTER THE BURST
OF HEAVY PRECIPITATION END...WITH IFR CIGS AND MVFR VSBYS. ANOTHER
BATCH OF WRAPAROUND SNOW MAY LOWER CONDITIONS FOR AWHILE LATER
THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING.
.OUTLOOK...
THURSDAY...IMPROVING TO VFR.
FRIDAY...MAINLY VFR. SATURDAY...MVFR WITH A CHANCE OF SNOW
SHOWERS. SUNDAY...VFR/MVFR WITH A CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS.
&&
.MARINE...
LOW PRESSURE WILL HEAD NORTHEAST ACROSS WESTERN AND CENTRAL NEW YORK
TODAY...THEN MERGE WITH A SECONDARY LOW THAT WILL BE MOVING OFF THE
NEW ENGLAND COAST TONIGHT. THIS PATH OF THE LOW WILL RESULT IN
WEAKER WINDS THAN ORIGINALLY EXPECTED. THEREFORE...ALL THE GALES HAVE
BEEN DROPPED. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL BE ISSUED FOR THE WESTERN
AND CENTRAL NEARSHORES OF LAKE ONTARIO.
