AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
1041 AM EST SAT FEB 11 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION TODAY AND USHER IN MUCH COLDER
AIR ALONG WITH SOME SNOW...WHICH WILL BE MOST PERSISTENT ACROSS
WESTERN NEW YORK. ANOTHER PERIOD OF LIGHT SNOW IS EXPECTED ACROSS
WESTERN AND CENTRAL NEW YORK LATE TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING WITH
SOME LAKE EFFECT SNOW AS WELL SOUTHEAST OF THE LAKES. ANY LINGERING
SNOW SHOWERS SOUTHEAST OF THE LAKES MONDAY MORNING WILL END AS HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE REGION. ANOTHER WEAK SYSTEM MAY BRING SOME
LIGHT WET SNOW ON TUESDAY AS TEMPERATURES MODERATE TO A LITTLE ABOVE
AVERAGE AGAIN.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
REGIONAL RADARS CONTINUING TO SHOW WIDESPREAD LIGHT SNOW ACROSS
WESTERN NEW YORK LATE THIS MORNING. BAND OF LAKE ENHANCED SNOWS
ALONG THE SOUTH SHORE OF LAKE ONTARIO IN WAKE OF THE ARCTIC FRONT
WILL CROSS THE REGION THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON. ADDITIONAL SNOWFALL
AMOUNTS GENERALLY IN THE 1 TO 2 INCH RANGE...BUT COULD SEE HIGHER
AMOUNTS IN THE 2 TO 4 INCHES RANGE WHERE UPSLOPE IS MAXIMIZED ACROSS
CHAUTAUQUA/CATTARAUGUS COUNTIES.

TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO DROP OFF THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON IN THE
STRONG LOW LEVEL COLD AIR ADVECTION PATTERN. ALL AREAS SHOULD BE IN
THE TEENS BY LATE AFTERNOON...WITH WIND CHILL VALUES DROPPING TO
NEAR ZERO.

EXPECT THE SNOW TO TAPER OFF FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST FROM MID
AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY EVENING...WITH JUST A FEW LINGERING SNOW
SHOWERS ACROSS HIGHER TERRAIN OF THE SOUTHERN TIER AND FINGER LAKES
THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF TONIGHT. THERE MAY ALSO BE A FEW SCATTERED
LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS PERSISTING ACROSS THE WESTERN SOUTHERN TIER
AND OFF LAKE ONTARIO FROM ROCHESTER TO WAYNE COUNTY...BUT LOW
INVERSION HEIGHTS AND VERY LIMITED MOISTURE WILL PREVENT ANYTHING
NOTABLE.

LATER TONIGHT THAT WILL BEGIN TO CHANGE AS ANOTHER WEAK SURFACE
TROUGH APPROACHES THE LOWER LAKES. THIS WILL LIKELY BRING ANOTHER
WIDESPREAD LIGHT SNOW TO WESTERN NY LATE TONIGHT. THIS WILL ALSO
IMPROVE MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY FOR LAKE EFFECT AS LAKE INDUCED
EQUILIBRIUM LEVELS RISE TO 7-8K FEET. BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW ALSO BACKS
A LITTLE LATE TONIGHT...WHICH WILL IMPROVE FETCH. WITH THIS IN
MIND...EXPECT LAKE ENHANCED/UPSLOPE SNOW TO INCREASE LATE TONIGHT
ACROSS THE CHAUTAUQUA RIDGE AND PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN ERIE/WYOMING
COUNTIES. ALSO EXPECT SOME LAKE SNOW TO ORGANIZE OVER WAYNE AND
NORTHERN CAYUGA COUNTIES...AND ALSO LIKELY CLIP PARTS OF MONROE
COUNTY FROM THE LAKESHORE INTO THE EASTERN SUBURBS. WE MAY
EVENTUALLY NEED ADVISORIES IN SOME OF THESE AREAS...BUT GIVEN THIS
WILL BE LATE SECOND AND THIRD PERIOD...WILL HOLD OFF UNTIL THE EVENT
DRAWS A LITTLE CLOSER.

LOW TEMPS TONIGHT WILL BE HELD UP SOME BY CLOUD COVER ACROSS MOST OF
THE AREA WITH LOW TO MID TEENS. EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO AT LEAST SOME
CLEAR TIME THIS EVENING AND NO OVER-LAKE TRAJECTORY WILL ALLOW TEMPS
TO DROP BELOW ZERO.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
LAKE EFFECT SNOW EVENT WILL BE ONGOING SUNDAY WITH NORTHWEST WINDS
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. WINDS ORIENTED ALONG PRESSURE GRADIENT
BETWEEN A SURFACE LOW OFF THE NORTHEAST U.S. COAST WHICH WILL BE
RAPIDLY DEEPENING AS IT LIFTS TOWARD NEWFOUNDLAND AND A BROAD
SURFACE HIGH CENTERED OVER THE NATIONS MID-SECTION.

LAKE BANDS WILL BE LOCATED OFF BOTH LAKES AS 850MB TEMPS WILL BE
RUNNING AROUND -15C. WITH LAKES TEMPS IN THE MID 30S F BUFKIT
PROFILES ARE SHOWING STEEP LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES WITH LAKE INDUCED
CAPE VALUES OF 300 TO 400 J/KG. THIS WILL PROVIDE SOME NARROW CORES
OF HEAVIER SNOW NEAR THE CENTER OF THE BANDS. WIND DIRECTIONS OF
280-290 DEGREES WILL FOCUS A LAKE BAND OFF ONTARIO FROM NORTHERN
MONROE COUNTY ACROSS WAYNE COUNTY TOWARD SOUTHERN CAYUGA. THE ERIE
BAND SHOULD BE IMPACTING CHAUTAUQUA/CATTARAUGUS AND SOUTHERN ERIE
COUNTIES. THE NAM12 AND HIGH RESOLUTION 4KM ARW WRF BOTH SHOW THESE
BAND ORIENTATIONS.

SNOWFALL AMOUNTS ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN THE 3-5/4-6 INCH RANGE BASED
ON 15:1/20:1 SNOW RATIOS WITHIN SNOW GROWTH ZONE FOR A FEW HOURS
SUNDAY AFTERNOON. QPF FROM HPC SHOWS 0.15/0.30 LIQUID. LAKE EFFECT
SNOW ADVISORIES WILL LIKELY NEED TO BE ISSUED LATER TODAY OR
TONIGHT. THE WINDS WILL BE SHIFTING A BIT WHICH WILL RESULT IN THE
BANDS SHIFTING NORTH AND SOUTH WHICH WOULD KEEP ANY ONE AREA FROM
PICKING UP WARNING CRITERIA SNOWS.

TEMPS WILL BE BELOW NORMAL SUNDAY WITH HIGHS IN THE MID 20S AND WIND
CHILLS IN THE SINGLES AND TEENS. LAKE SNOW WILL CONTINUE SUNDAY
NIGHT MAINLY OFF LAKE ONTARIO WITH A POSSIBLE HURON/GEORGIAN BAY
UPSTREAM MOISTURE CONNECTION. ON MONDAY THE ONTARIO BAND WILL BE
SHIFTING NORTHWARD AND TAPERING OFF AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE
SHIFTING ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST U.S. RIDGES INTO THE FORECAST AREA
LOWERING THE INVERSION AND CUTTING OF INSTABILITY AND MOISTURE.

TEMPS MONDAY WILL BE A LITTLE WARMER THAN SUNDAY...RUNNING IN THE
UPPER 20S TO LOW 30S AS A SOUTHWEST FLOW DEVELOPS.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
00Z MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW WARMING TREND NEXT WEEK AS UPPER FLOW
