AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
358 AM EST FRI JAN 27 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE LIFTING NORTHEASTWARD WILL CROSS WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA
AND CENTRAL NEW YORK THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT. THE SYSTEM WILL MOVE
TOWARD NEW ENGLAND ON FRIDAY. STEADY RAIN IS EXPECTED THROUGH MUCH
OF THE NIGHT WITH SOME SNOW BEHIND THE STORM ON FRIDAY. WINTRY
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THIS WEEKEND INCLUDING SOME LAKE EFFECT SNOW.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
SURFACE WAVE CURRENTLY LIFTING OUT OF SOUTHEAST OHIO WITH A WARM
FRONT ACROSS WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA. INITIAL BATCH OF PRECIPITATION
HAS LIFTED NORTH OF THE AREA WITH SECONDARY AND MORE IMPRESSIVE
BATCH OF RAIN WORKING NORTHWARD WITH THE SURFACE WAVE. UPSTREAM
OBSERVATIONS ACROSS OHIO SUGGESTING MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN. LATEST
RUC/HRRR SUGGEST THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVIER RAINS TO FALL ACROSS
WESTERN NEW YORK BETWEEN 03Z AND 09Z WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR UP TO AN
INCH OR RAIN. SOME HYDROLOGIC CONCERNS COULD DEVELOP OVERNIGHT AND
EARLY FRIDAY AS THIS AREA OF RAIN CROSSES THE REGION.

STILL A FEW READINGS AT OR BELOW FREEZING ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE
NORTH COUNTRY...THEREFORE WILL LEAVE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY UP
OVERNIGHT...ALTHOUGH ANY ICING PROBLEMS SHOULD BE CONFINED TO
AREAS ALONG THE SAINT LAWRENCE RIVER.

TEMPS WILL RISE ABOVE FREEZING AS THE CENTER OF THE SURFACE LOW
PASSES...BUT THEN FALL AFTER ITS TRAILING COLD FRONT MOVES ACROSS
THE REGION. EXPECT A CHANGEOVER FROM RAIN TO SNOW...FROM WEST TO
EAST...AND FAIRLY QUICKLY AS THE BOUNDARY LAYER TEMPS FALL BELOW
FREEZING UNIFORMLY SHORTLY AFTER FROPA. LIGHT SNOW SHOULD COME TO AN
END LATE IN THE DAY WITH SOME CLEARING EXPECTED TOWARD SUNSET ON
FRIDAY.

TEMPS WILL BE ON THE RISE THROUGH THE NIGHT BUT WILL HAVE SOME LOWER
TEMPS IN THE MID 30S EARLY IN THE NIGHT AND TOWARD DAYBREAK...COLDER
LOW 30S FOR THE BLACK RIVER AND SAINT LAWRENCE VALLEYS.

HIGHS ON FRIDAY WILL BE IN THE UPPER 30S TO LOWER 40S...THEN FALL
BACK NEAR OR BELOW FREEZING LATE IN THE DAY AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES
THROUGH.

&&

.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 /09Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
WIDESPREAD IFR TO LIFR CONDITIONS WILL EXIST THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT. STEADY RAIN WILL OVERSPREAD THE REGION AS A SURFACE
WAVE LIFTS UP FROM THE OHIO VALLEY. CEILINGS WILL REMAIN IFR
THROUGH FRIDAY...WITH A TRANSITION OF RAIN TO SNOW FROM LATE
MORNING ONWARD AS A COLD FRONT CROSSES THE REGION.

OUTLOOK...
FRIDAY...IFR EARLY...BECOMING VFR LATE...WITH RAIN TURNING TO SNOW.
SATURDAY...MAINLY VFR.
SUNDAY AND MONDAY...MVFR WITH SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS.
TUESDAY...VFR WITH SLIGHT CHANCE RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS.

&&

.MARINE...
SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL INCREASE SOME TONIGHT AHEAD OF A STORM SYSTEM
APPROACHING FROM THE SOUTH. THE SYSTEM WILL PASS SOUTH OF THE LAKES
TONIGHT AND FRIDAY LIFTING INTO NEW ENGLAND. WINDS ON FRIDAY WILL
BECOME WEST TO NORTHWEST BEHIND THE STORM INCREASING TO THE RANGE OF
18 TO 25 KTS. THAT WILL BRING SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS TO THE
NEARSHORE WATERS OF BOTH LAKES FOR FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND FRIDAY
EVENING...WITH ANOTHER ROUND OF WINDY CONDITIONS EXPECTED DURING
PORTIONS OF THE WEEKEND.

&&
