AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
144 PM EST FRI JAN 27 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
SURFACE LOW PRESSURE WILL SHIFT ACROSS NEW YORK STATE TODAY. RAIN
WILL TURN TO A BRIEF PERIOD OF SNOW WITH SOME GUSTY WINDS ON THE
BACK SIDE OF THE LOW. ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM WILL BRING RAIN AND SNOW
SHOWERS TOMORROW AND A THIRD SYSTEM WILL BRING SNOW SUNDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM THAT HAS BEEN BRINGING PRECIPITATION TO
WESTERN NEW YORK OVER THE LAST 24 HOURS IS LIFTING ACROSS THE REGION
TOWARDS THE SAINT LAWRENCE VALLEY AT THIS TIME. RADAR/SURFACE OBS
INDICATE THAT A DEFORMATION BAND ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE LOW MOVING
INTO THE NIAGARA FRONTIER IS BRINGING SNOW INTO THE NIAGARA FRONTIER
AS SURFACE TEMPERATURES FALL CLOSER TO FREEZING...WITH WET BULB ZERO
TEMPS FALLING BELOW FREEZING. THIS BAND WILL CONTINUE TO SHIFT TO
THE EAST/NORTHEAST THROUGH THE REST OF THIS AFTERNOON...BRINGING A
PERIOD OF SNOW TO MUCH OF THE REGION. SNOW SHOULD NOT LAST MORE THAN
THREE HOURS AT ANY GIVEN LOCATION WITH MOST AREAS NOT RECEIVING MORE
THAN AN INCH OR SO.

THE OTHER FORECAST CONCERN THIS MORNING IS THE CONTINUED THREAT OF
LIGHT FREEZING RAIN IN EXTREME NORTHERN JEFFERSON COUNTY NEAR THE
SAINT LAWRENCE RIVER. TEMPERATURES THERE CONTINUE TO HOVER RIGHT
AROUND FREEZING AS LIGHT NORTHERLY FLOW CONTINUES TO KEEP COLD AIR
LOCKED IN OVER THE AREA. HAVE EXTENDED THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY
FOR AN ADDITIONAL TWO HOURS UNTIL 1PM...WITH THE EXPECTATION THAT
TEMPERATURES WILL FINALLY RISE ABOVE FREEZING THIS AFTERNOON AS
WINDS VEER TO THE SOUTHWEST.

FOR THE REST OF THE DAY...EXPECT A DRYING TREND ACROSS WESTERN NEW
YORK ONCE THE DEFORMATION BAND MOVES THROUGH. MODELS ARE WANTING TO
GENERATE WHAT APPEARS TO BE WEAK LAKE EFFECT SNOW ACROSS THE
CHAUTAUQUA RIDGE THIS AFTERNOON...BUT THIS SEEMS VERY SUSPECT GIVEN
THAT 850MB TEMPS ONLY DROP TO AROUND -8C AND THUS HAVE DECIDED TO
KEEP POPS TRIMMED BACK. WITH THE WEAK COLD ADVECTION BEHIND THE
LOW...WINDS WILL REMAIN BREEZY...THOUGH GUSTS SHOULD NOT EXCEED 30
MPH ACROSS THE REGION.

FOR TONIGHT...EXPECT CLOUDS TO HANG AROUND WITH ONSHORE FLOW OFF OF
THE LAKES...THOUGH AREAS FARTHER INLAND MAY SEE SOME BREAKS IN THE
COVER OVERNIGHT. THE CLOUD COVER WILL MODERATE TEMPERATURES SOMEWHAT
WITH LOWS DROPPING JUST A FEW DEGREES...INTO THE UPPER 20S WITH MID
20S FARTHER INLAND. OTHERWISE CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN DRY AS A
TRANSITORY RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE MOVES OVERHEAD.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
DURING THE COURSE OF SATURDAY...A RATHER POTENT SHORTWAVE TROUGH
WILL PLOW ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN GREAT LAKES...BEFORE
RAPIDLY LIFTING OFF INTO THE CANADIAN MARITIMES SATURDAY NIGHT.
MEANWHILE AT THE SURFACE...A COMPACT BUT ROBUST ASSOCIATED SURFACE
LOW WILL SLIDE FROM LOWER MICHIGAN TO THE ONTARIO-QUEBEC BORDER BY
SATURDAY EVENING...THEN OUT INTO ATLANTIC CANADA BY SUNDAY MORNING.

AS PREVIOUSLY POINTED OUT IN THIS SPACE...THIS WILL BE A VERY
DYNAMIC SYSTEM...WHICH WILL FEATURE A TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT AND
FAIRLY STRONG WIND FIELD AS IT PASSES...WITH AN ACCOMPANYING LOW
LEVEL JET OF 50-60 KTS WITHIN THE 925-850 MB LAYER. COUPLED
WITH STEEPENING LAPSE RATES AND A FAVORABLE TRACK TO THE NORTH WHICH
WILL ALLOW FOR FUNNELING UP THE LENGTH OF LAKES ERIE AND
ONTARIO...THIS SHOULD TRANSLATE INTO THE DEVELOPMENT OF WIDESPREAD
NEAR ADVISORY OR ADVISORY CRITERIA WIND GUSTS SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. THIS WILL ESPECIALLY BE THE CASE FROM THE LAKE ERIE
SHORELINE NORTHEAST ACROSS THE NIAGARA FRONTIER TO ROCHESTER...AND
PORTIONS OF THE NORTH COUNTRY WHERE THE AFOREMENTIONED ENHANCEMENT
FROM LAKE FUNNELING EFFECTS WILL COME INTO PLAY. STILL A BIT TOO
SOON TO HOIST A WIND ADVISORY GIVEN THE LATER 3RD/4TH PERIOD NATURE
OF THIS EVENT... SO WILL CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT THE POTENTIAL IN THE
HWO FOR NOW...WITH THE THOUGHT THAT AN ADVISORY WILL EVENTUALLY NEED
TO BE ISSUED LATER ON TODAY OR TONIGHT.

ASIDE FROM THE STRONG WINDS...THIS SYSTEM WILL ALSO BRING A COUPLE
ROUNDS OF SCATTERED PRECIPITATION TO THE REGION AS ITS TRAILING COLD
FRONT PASSES THROUGH SATURDAY AFTERNOON...AND THEN AS THE MAIN CORE
OF THE SHORTWAVE ROTATES ACROSS THE AREA LATE SATURDAY AND SATURDAY
EVENING. WITH THE MODELS TRENDING TOWARDS A STRONGER SYSTEM
OVERALL...THE INITIAL SOUTHWESTERLY INFLUX OF MILDER AIR PRECEDING
IT IS STRONGER AS WELL...LEADING TO A GREATER DEGREE OF WARMING
WITHIN THE BOUNDARY LAYER AND A GREATER POTENTIAL FOR MORE OF A
RAIN/SNOW SHOWER MIX AND POSSIBLY EVEN JUST PLAIN RAIN SHOWERS
DURING MUCH OF THE DAY. THE NAM/GFS ARE NOW BOTH SUPPORTIVE OF 925
MB TEMPS CLIMBING TO THE -3C TO +1C RANGE DURING THE DAY...AND WITH
STRONG MECHANICAL MIXING SUCH TEMPS SHOULD TRANSLATE INTO SURFACE
TEMPS REACHING INTO THE UPPER 30S/LOWER 40S AREAWIDE. SUCH READINGS
ARE ABOVE CURRENT MOS GUIDANCE WHICH APPEARS TOO COLD...AND WOULD BE
SUPPORTIVE OF THE AFOREMENTIONED RAIN/SNOW MIX OR EVEN JUST PLAIN
RAIN.

AS WE GET INTO LATE SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING...THE COMBINATION
OF INCREASING COLD ADVECTION AND STRONG LIFT FROM THE AFOREMENTIONED
SHORTWAVE SHOULD TRANSLATE INTO THE PRECIPITATION QUICKLY
TRANSITIONING BACK TO JUST PLAIN SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS...WITH THE
BULK OF THE SYNOPTIC-SCALE PRECIP THEN TAPERING OFF FROM WEST TO
EAST WITH THE DEPARTURE OF THE SHORTWAVE AND A BRIEF INCREASE IN
LOW-LEVEL RIDGING. ON THE MESOSCALE...IT WILL BE A BIT OF A
DIFFERENT STORY AS OUR AIRMASS BECOMES AT LEAST MARGINALLY COLD
ENOUGH FOR A LAKE RESPONSE DURING THE COURSE OF SATURDAY EVENING.
THIS WOULD ALLOW FOR SOME LIMITED LAKE EFFECT SNOWS TO INITIALLY
DEVELOP EAST OF THE LAKES ON A PREVAILING WESTERLY FLOW SATURDAY
EVENING...BEFORE WEAKENING AND LIFTING NORTHWARD OVERNIGHT DUE TO
SUBSIDENCE AND DRIER AIR ASSOCIATED WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED
RIDGE...AND A GENERAL BACKING OF THE LOW LEVEL FLOW IN ADVANCE OF
YET ANOTHER APPROACHING SYSTEM OVER THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES. GIVEN
THE ONLY MARGINALLY COLD AIRMASS AND CONTINUED DIFFERENCES AMONGST
THE MODELS AS TO EXACTLY HOW COLD WE'LL GET...WILL KEEP POPS WITHIN
THE MAIN LAKE EFFECT AREAS CONFINED TO THE HIGH CHANCE/LOW LIKELY
RANGES FOR NOW...WITH THE HIGHEST PROBABILITIES FOUND OFF LAKE
ONTARIO DUE TO THE SOMEWHAT COLDER AND MORE FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT
THAT SHOULD BE IN PLACE THERE.

THEN DURING SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT...YET ANOTHER POTENT SHORTWAVE
TROUGH WILL SLIDE EAST ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES AND NORTHEAST...ALONG
WITH...SURPRISE SURPRISE...YET ANOTHER ATTENDANT AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE...WHICH WILL TRACK FROM MICHIGAN TO LAKE ONTARIO DURING
SUNDAY...THEN TO THE MAINE COAST SUNDAY NIGHT. WHILE THIS FEATURE
WILL NOT PRODUCE WINDS ANYWHERE NEAR AS STRONG AS SATURDAY'S SYSTEM
GIVEN ITS WEAKER ATTENDANT PRESSURE GRADIENT...IT DOES APPEAR AS IF
IT WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY SOMEWHAT DEEPER MOISTURE AND A STRONGER
OVERALL SWATH OF LIFT...WHICH SHOULD BE SUPPORTIVE OF A DECENT
LIKELIHOOD OF SNOW SHOWERS AS IT PASSES BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND
EVENING...WHICH WILL THEN END FROM WEST TO EAST WITH THE PASSAGE OF
ITS TRAILING COLD FRONT SUNDAY EVENING. ON THE MESOSCALE...
INCREASING SHEAR AND WARMING TEMPS ALOFT IN ADVANCE OF THIS LOW WILL
TEMPORARILY BRING AN END TO ANY LINGERING LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS
DURING SUNDAY MORNING...WITH THE ACTIVITY THEN REDEVELOPING ON A
WESTERLY TO WEST-NORTHWESTERLY FLOW OF COLDER AIR /850 MB TEMPS OF
-14C TO -16C/ SUNDAY EVENING FOLLOWING THE PASSAGE OF THE SURFACE
COLD FRONT. THIS SHOULD SET THE STAGE FOR A PERIOD OF ACCUMULATING
LAKE SNOWS EAST AND SOUTHEAST OF THE LAKES...WHICH WILL THEN TEND TO
WEAKEN AND SHRINK IN COVERAGE LATER SUNDAY NIGHT AS SIGNIFICANT LOW
LEVEL RIDGING AND INCREASING SUBSIDENCE/DRIER AIR BUILDS IN FROM THE
OHIO VALLEY AND CENTRAL LAKES.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AS HAS BEEN THE CASE FOR MUCH OF THIS WINTER...A LOW AMPLITUDE
PACIFIC FLOW WILL BE IN PLACE ACROSS THE NATION DURING MUCH OF THIS
PERIOD...WHICH WILL HELP TO KEEP WHATEVER LIMITED COLD AIR THERE IS
ACROSS NORTH AMERICA BOTTLED UP TO OUR NORTH ACROSS CANADA.
CONSEQUENTLY...AFTER A SEASONABLY COLD DAY ON MONDAY...TEMPS ACROSS
OUR REGION WILL CLIMB BACK UP TO WELL ABOVE NORMAL LEVELS FOR THE
BALANCE OF THIS PERIOD.

LOOKING A LITTLE MORE CLOSELY AT THE FORECAST DETAILS...LAKE EFFECT
SNOW SHOWERS CONCENTRATED EAST/EAST-SOUTHEAST OF BOTH LAKES WILL
CONTINUE TO WEAKEN AND LIFT NORTHWARD DURING THE COURSE OF MONDAY AS
HIGH PRESSURE SLIDES OFF TO OUR EAST...ALLOWING FOR WARM ADVECTION
TO CONTINUE TO LOWER THE CAPPING INVERSION WHILE THE LOW LEVEL FLOW
BACKS TO SOUTH-SOUTHWESTERLY AND BECOMES RATHER SHEARED. WITH 850 MB
TEMPS STILL AVERAGING AROUND -12C BY EARLY AFTERNOON...SURFACE
READINGS WILL STRUGGLE TO GET OUT OF THE UPPER 20S TO LOWER 30S...
READINGS THAT WILL BE NEAR OR JUST BELOW NORMAL FOR THE END OF
JANUARY.

THEN AS THE AFOREMENTIONED SURFACE RIDGE MOVES OFF THE MID ATLANTIC
COAST LATER MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY...THE NEXT SHORTWAVE IN THE LOW
AMPLITUDE PACIFIC FLOW WILL LIFT AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE ACROSS THE
UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. THIS FEATURE WILL MOVE NORTH OF OUR
FORECAST AREA TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY WHILE ITS ASSOCIATED
FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL DRAG ACROSS THE LOWER LAKES. LIFT GENERATED
FROM THIS FRONT WILL COMBINE WITH A MILD SOUTHWEST FLOW TO PRODUCE
SOME MIXED PCPN ACROSS OUR REGION IN THE PROCESS...WHICH WILL TEND
TO TRANSITION TO MAINLY RAIN DURING THE MILDER DAYTIME HOURS ON
WEDNESDAY.

LOOKING EVEN FURTHER OUT...YET ANOTHER SFC LOW WILL LIFT UP ACROSS
THE GREAT LAKES REGION TOWARD THE END OF THE PERIOD...WITH MORE
NUISANCE-TYPE PRECIPITATION EXPECTED.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVING OUT OF WESTERN NEW YORK WILL CONTINUE
TO BRING WIDESPREAD MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS TO THE REGION THIS
AFTERNOON AS AN AREA OF SNOW ASSOCIATED WITH A DEFORMATION BAND ON
THE BACK SIDE OF THE LOW MAKES ITS WAY EAST FROM THE NIAGARA
FRONTIER TO THE GENESEE VALLEY AND ULTIMATELY ACROSS THE NORTH
COUNTRY.

CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE TO MVFR THIS EVENING AND ULTIMATELY VFR
LATER TONIGHT AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES OVER THE REGION...WITH THE
EXCEPTION OF AT KART WHERE ONSHORE WESTERLY FLOW WILL KEEP
CONDITIONS MVFR THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD.

SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL DEVELOP AND INCREASE RAPIDLY ACROSS THE NIAGARA
FRONTIER SATURDAY MORNING AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING CLIPPER LOW. A
ROBUST 40-50KT LOW LEVEL JET WILL CREATE THE POTENTIAL FOR LOW LEVEL
SHEAR TOWARDS THE END OF THE TAF PERIOD...THOUGH THE LOWEST LEVELS
OF THE ATMOSPHERE MAY STAY JUST MIXED ENOUGH THAT GUSTS AT THE
SURFACE WILL PREVENT WINDS FROM MEETING LLWS CRITERIA.

OUTLOOK...
SATURDAY NIGHT...MVFR WITH LOCALIZED IFR IN LAKE EFFECT SNOW
SHOWERS.
SUNDAY AND MONDAY...MVFR WITH SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS.
TUESDAY...MAINLY VFR WITH SLIGHT CHANCE RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS.
WEDNESDAY...VFR/MVFR WITH A CHANCE OF RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS.

&&

.MARINE...
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL SHIFT ACROSS NEW YORK STATE TODAY JUST
SOUTH OF THE LAKES. ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE SYSTEM WINDS ARE
EXPECTED TO PICK UP OUT OF THE WEST TO NORTHWEST TO THE RANGE OF 20
TO 30 KTS. THAT WILL BRING SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS TO THE NEARSHORE
WATERS OF BOTH LAKES FOR FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND FRIDAY EVENING. A
SECOND AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL IMPACT THE EASTERN LAKES TOMORROW
AS IT MOVES TO THE NORTH FROM THE SOO TOWARD QUEBEC. THE TIGHT
PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL YIELD POSSIBLE GALE CONDITIONS TOMORROW
AFTERNOON. A GALE WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR ALL MARINE ZONES.
