AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
426 AM EST SUN JAN 1 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
A POWERFUL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES
TODAY...WITH STRONG WINDS DEVELOPING BEHIND A COLD FRONT. THE
STRONG WINDS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH TONIGHT...WHILE HEAVY LAKE
EFFECT SNOW DEVELOPS EAST OF LAKES ERIE AND ONTARIO AND PRODUCES
LOCALIZED BLIZZARD CONDITIONS AT TIMES. AN ARCTIC FRONT WILL PASS
THROUGH THE REGION MONDAY NIGHT WITH WIDESPREAD SNOW AND WILL
USHER IN THE COLDEST TEMPERATURES OF THE WINTER SO FAR ON TUESDAY.
MOST OF THE SNOW WILL END BY TUESDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO
THE REGION.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
NEWEST DATA CONTINUES TO CONFIRM THAT WESTERN NEW YORK WILL BE THE
FOCAL POINT FOR A MAJOR WINTER STORM. AN EVENT WHICH HAS BEEN
UNFAMILIAR TO US THIS SEASON. DEEPENING SURFACE CYCLONE WILL EMERGE
FROM THE MIDWEST THIS MORNING AND TRACK JUST TO THE NORTHWEST OF
THE AREA ACROSS LAKE HURON/GEORGIAN BAY THIS AFTERNOON. THE
ASSOCIATED SURFACE COLD FRONT WILL PLOW THROUGH THE REGION EARLY
THIS AFTERNOON WITH WINDS RAMPING UP IMMEDIATELY IN ITS WAKE.
925-850 MB WINDS INCREASE TO NEARLY 60 KNOTS AND CONSIDERING DEGREE
OF COLD AIR ADVECTION BEHIND THE FRONT...CAN EASILY ENVISION THE
BULK OF THESE WINDS MIXING DOWN ESPECIALLY DOWNWIND OF THE LAKES
WITH THE ADDITIONAL FUNNELING COMPONENT.

WE MAY INITIALLY SEE ANY PRECIPITATION FOCUSED ALONG THE FRONTAL
ZONE AND IMMEDIATELY BEHIND IT AS RAIN...BUT AS THE COLDER AIR
SURGES IN BEHIND THE SYSTEM WE WILL SEE AN INCREASED LAKE COMPONENT
OFF LAKE ERIE BY LATE AFTERNOON OR EARLY EVENING...THEN SOON
AFTER OFF LAKE ONTARIO. THE LAKE SNOWS WILL INITIALLY SET UP ON A
WEST SOUTHWEST FLOW THEN SHIFT SOUTHWARD THROUGH TONIGHT AS THE
FLOW VEERS MORE WESTERLY.

LAKE INDUCED INSTABILITY WILL INCREASE AS WE MOVE THROUGH TONIGHT
AS 850 MB TEMPERATURES DROP TO AROUND -12C BY MONDAY MORNING. THERE
IS NO QUESTION TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF HEAVY LAKE EFFECT SNOW...BUT
THERE IS ALWAYS THE CONCERN IN STRONG WIND FIELD PATTERNS WHETHER
THERE WILL BE A LIMITATION ON DISCRETE AND INTENSE BANDS FORMING.
PATTERN RECOGNITION WOULD SUGGEST THIS WILL BE A MAJOR LAKE EFFECT
SNOW EVENT FROM BUFFALO SOUTHWARD OFF ERIE AND FROM WATERTOWN
SOUTHWARD OFF ONTARIO.

AS FOR HEADLINES...UPGRADES TO LAKE EFFECT SNOW WARNINGS FROM
BUFFALO/WATERTOWN SOUTHWARD LOOK REASONABLE. WILL UPGRADE TO HIGH
WIND WARNINGS DOWNWIND OF THE LAKES AND WILL INCLUDE JEFFERSON COUNTY
WITH POTENTIAL GUSTS TO 60 MPH. WIND ADVISORIES ELSEWHERE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
THE COLDEST AIR OF THE SEASON WILL ARRIVE ON AN ARCTIC FRONT DURING
THIS PERIOD. LAKE EFFECT SNOW ALREADY SETTING UP DURING SUNDAY NIGHT
WILL BE STRENGTHENED AND SHIFTED AS THE FRONT DROPS SOUTHWARD ACROSS
LAKE ONTARIO...AND EVENTUALLY ACROSS LAKE ERIE.

THE FIRST COLD FRONT WILL BE WELL TO THE EAST OF THE REGION ON
MONDAY BUT SURFACE WINDS WILL STILL BE GENERALLY SOUTHWESTERLY EARLY
ON. THE NORTHWARD EXTENT OF THE LAKE SNOW BANDS OFF LAKE ERIE WILL
BE MIGRATING SOUTHWARD FROM THE METRO BUFFALO AND GENESEE/WYOMING
COUNTIES TO THE MORE TRADITIONAL CHAUTAUQUA RIDGE AND SO-CALLED SKI
COUNTRY AS THE SURFACE WINDS BECOME MORE WESTERLY.

SIMILARLY OFF LAKE ONTARIO...EXPECT THE LAKE SNOW TO SHIFT SOUTHEAST
TO ENCOMPASS MOST OF THE TUG HILL PLATEAU.

A SECONDARY FRONT OF ARCTIC NATURE WILL MOVE SOUTH ACROSS LAKE
ONTARIO...BRINGING AN EVEN SHARPER DROP IN BOUNDARY LAYER TEMPS.
850MB TEMPS ARE EXPECTED TO DROP FROM AROUND -10C/-12C ON MONDAY
MORNING TO -20C/-22C BY MONDAY NIGHT. THERE WILL BE A BURST OF
MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW ALONG THE LEADING EDGE OF THIS SECOND
FRONT...AND LAKE SNOWS WILL ENHANCE ALONG THE SOUTH SHORE OF LAKE
ONTARIO MONDAY AFTERNOON WITH GREATER CONVERGENCE ALONG THE FRONT
AND THE SHORE. THE ARCTIC FRONT WILL ENTER THE LAKE ERIE ENVIRONMENT
MONDAY NIGHT WITH A CONCENTRATION OF HEAVIER SNOW ALONG THE
CHAUTAUQUA RIDGE. FOR MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT...EXPECT SNOW AMOUNTS
OF TWO FEET OR MORE OVER THE TUG HILL PLATEAU AND A FOOT AND A HALF
FOR THE CHAUTAUQUA RIDGE. ALTHOUGH THE BOUNDARY LAYER TEMPS WILL BE
SUBSTANTIALLY COLDER TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT...THERE WILL BE A
LACK OF MOISTURE ABOVE THIS COLD LAYER. ANY SNOW WILL BE PURELY
DERIVED FROM THE MOISTURE PROVIDED BY THE LAKES AND WILL BE LIMITED
TO ONLY A FEW INCHES OF VERY FLUFFY AND LOW WATER CONTENT SNOW.

WINDS WILL REMAIN AN ISSUE ON MONDAY AS SOUTHWEST TO WESTERLY WINDS
CONTINUE SUSTAINED AROUND 25 TO 35 MPH WITH GUSTS AT OR ABOVE 50
MPH...HIGHER WINDS AND GUSTS MAINLY EAST OF LAKE ERIE TO THE GENESEE
VALLEY AND ALONG THE SOUTH AND EASTERN SHORES OF LAKE ONTARIO. THIS
WILL RESULT IN CONSIDERABLE BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW....FURTHER
EXACERBATING THE ALREADY TREACHEROUS CONDITIONS. THE PASSAGE OF THE
ARCTIC FRONT WILL RELAX THE ISALLOBARIC GRADIENT AND THE REDUCE THE
WINDS AND GUSTS.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
THIS TIME PERIOD WILL BE CHARACTERIZED BY BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES
TO START THE PERIOD...WARMING TO ABOVE NORMAL BY THE END OF THE
WEEK. SOME LAKE EFFECT SNOW TO START THE TIME PERIOD WILL BE
REPLACED BY A PERIOD OF DRY WEATHER BEFORE SOME LIGHT RAIN ENTERS
THE PICTURE TOWARDS THE WEEKEND. FOR THE DETAILS...

A SHORTWAVE CURRENTLY OVER THE NORTHERN PACIFIC WILL CROSS THE
ROCKIES AND NORTHERN PLAINS EARLY NEXT WEEK REACHING THE EASTERN
GREAT LAKES WEDNESDAY. WILL INCLUDE A CHANCE POP EVERYWHERE WITH THE
CROSSING OF THE POTENT UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE...BUT HIGHEST POPS WILL
BE FOUND DOWNWIND OF THE LAKES WITH LAKE EFFECT SNOW. TEMPERATURES
AT 850 HPA ON THE GFS/ECMWF REMAIN AROUND -10 TO -13 THROUGH THE DAY
WHICH WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS. INITIALLY
WEDNESDAY A SOUTH TO SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL PRODUCE LAKE EFFECT OFF
LAKE ERIE TOWARDS THE NORTHERN NIAGARA FRONTIER...AND OFF LAKE
ONTARIO TOWARDS THE SAINT LAWRENCE VALLEY. AS THE UPPER LEVEL SHORT
WAVE CROSSES AND WINDS VEER TO WESTERLY...BANDS OF LAKE EFFECT WILL
SHIFT TO AREAS JUST SOUTH OF BUFFALO AND BATAVIA...AND OFF LAKE
ONTARIO TOWARDS THE TUG HILL.

TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN ON THE COLD SIDE WEDNESDAY WITH HIGHS IN
THE UPPER TEENS ACROSS THE NORTH COUNTRY...AND LOW TO MID 20S
ELSEWHERE. THESE TEMPERATURES WILL BE BELOW NORMAL...BUT WARMER THAN
TUESDAY WHICH WILL LIKELY BE THE COLDEST DAY THIS WEEK.

WARM AIR ADVECTION BEGINS THURSDAY AND THIS COMBINED WITH RISING
HEIGHTS ALOFT WILL WEAKEN AND DIMINISH LAKE EFFECT SNOW BANDS. LIGHT
SYNOPTIC SNOW THURSDAY NIGHT WILL END THE SNOW THREAT AS WARM AIR
CONTINUES TO BUILD INTO THE REGION. TEMPERATURES THURSDAY AND INTO
THE WEEKEND WILL RISE TO ABOVE NORMAL AHEAD OF ANOTHER SHORT WAVE
THAT WILL DEEPEN ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS TOWARDS THE END OF THE
WEEK.

EXPECT WIND TO INCREASE LATER FRIDAY AND INTO SATURDAY AS A
DEEPENING LOW TRACKS JUST NORTH OF THE CENTRAL LAKES. BOTH THE 12Z
GFS/ECMWF HAVE THIS LOW FILLING AS IT PASSES JUST TO OUR NORTH
SATURDAY AND GIVEN THIS TRACK PRECIPITATION ON SATURDAY WILL LIKELY
COME AS RAIN...THOUGH AT THIS POINT THERE APPEARS TO BE LIMITED
MOISTURE WITH THIS SYSTEM AND WILL START WITH JUST SLIGHT CHC
POPS.

&&

.AVIATION /09Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
PLENTIFUL LOW LEVEL MOISTURE LINGERS ACROSS WESTERN AND NORTH
CENTRAL NEW YORK AS OF 0430Z. THIS IS RESULTING IN CONTINUED
WIDESPREAD LIFR TO LOW-END MVFR STRATUS ALONG WITH SOME PATCHY
DRIZZLE AND AREAS OF FOG...WITH THE LATTER CONCENTRATED MORE ACROSS
THE HIGHER TERRAIN EAST OF BOTH LAKES. THESE GENERAL CONDITIONS CAN
BE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH MUCH OF THE NIGHTTIME HOURS...BEFORE
INCREASING SOUTHERLY WINDS HELP TO SCOUR OUT THE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
AND LOWER CLOUDS FROM WEST TO EAST VERY LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY
SUNDAY MORNING.

ONCE THE LOWER CLOUDS ARE GONE SUNDAY MORNING...EXPECT MAINLY VFR
CONDITIONS WITH STRENGTHENING SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST WINDS IN ADVANCE OF
OF A POWERFUL AREA OF LOW PRESSURE LIFTING ACROSS THE CENTRAL GREAT
LAKES. THIS LOW WILL SWING ITS ASSOCIATED STRONG COLD FRONT ACROSS
THE REGION DURING THE MIDDAY AND EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS...ACCOMPANIED
BY A BRIEF PERIOD OF RAIN SHOWERS AND MVFR CIGS/VSBY. OF GREATER
CONCERN WILL BE RAPIDLY INCREASING SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS ALONG AND
BEHIND THE COLD FRONT...WITH GUSTS OF 40-50 KNOTS LIKELY IN THE
AFTERNOON OVER AND NORTHEAST OF LAKE ERIE...AND 30-40 KNOTS
ELSEWHERE.

DURING SUNDAY NIGHT...THE STRONG WINDS WILL CONTINUE WITH GUSTS UP
TO 50-55 KNOTS POSSIBLE. MEANWHILE...CIGS WILL DROP TO IFR/MVFR AS
DEEPENING WRAPAROUND MOISTURE WORKS INTO THE AREA...WITH LAKE
EFFECT SNOW ALSO DEVELOPING EAST-NORTHEAST OF BOTH LAKES. WITHIN
THE LAKE SNOWS...LIFR WILL EVENTUALLY BECOME LIKELY NEAR OR JUST
BEYOND THE END OF THE TAF PERIOD.

OUTLOOK...
MONDAY...CONTINUED VERY WINDY WITH AREAS OF LIFR/IFR IN WITH
HEAVY LAKE SNOWS EAST OF THE LAKES.
TUESDAY...AREAS OF IFR WITH SNOW SHOWERS.
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...VFR/MVFR WITH A CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS.

&&

.MARINE...
A POWERFUL LOW WILL MOVE THROUGH THE CENTRAL LAKES TODAY WITH A
TRAILING COLD FRONT CROSSING THE LOWER LAKES BETWEEN THE MIDDAY AND
EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS. BEHIND THE FRONT...SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS WILL
RAPIDLY INCREASE TO GALE FORCE. SUSTAINED WINDS WILL REACH 40-45
KNOTS ON LAKE ERIE WITH SOME STORM FORCE GUSTS TO 50-55 KNOTS.
WINDS NOT EXPECTED TO BE QUITE AS STRONG ON LAKE ONTARIO...BUT STILL
A SOLID GALE WITH 35-40 KNOTS SUSTAINED AND 45-50 KNOT GUSTS. GALE
FORCE WINDS WILL PERSIST THROUGH MONDAY AND GRADUALLY BECOMING
WESTERLY.

WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST MONDAY NIGHT FOLLOWING THE PASSAGE
OF AN ARCTIC FRONT. SPEEDS SHOULD FALL BELOW GALE WARNING CRITERIA
BY THEN...BUT STILL EXPECT HIGH END SMALL CRAFTS TO CONTINUE THROUGH
TUESDAY BEFORE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVERHEAD BY WEDNESDAY BRINGING A
SIGNIFICANT DECREASE IN WINDS.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
STRONG SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL PRODUCE SIGNIFICANT WATER RISES ON
LAKE ERIE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY TONIGHT. THIS HAS THE LOOK OF
A CLASSIC SEICHE EVENT ON LAKE ERIE WITH SOUTHEAST WINDS INITIALLY
SHIFTING QUICKLY TO SOUTHWEST AND RAPIDLY INCREASING IN STRENGTH.
MODEL GUIDANCE FROM GLERL RAISES THE LAKE LEVEL TO NEAR 7 FEET IN
BUFFALO. THIS IS TYPICALLY UNDERDONE...AND GIVEN THE PATTERN
RECOGNITION WOULD EXPECT THE LEVEL TO REACH 8 TO 9 FEET ABOVE LOW
WATER DATUM.

WITH THIS IN MIND...WE HAVE ISSUED A LAKESHORE FLOOD WARNING
FOR ERIE AND CHAUTAUQUA COUNTIES FOR THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH THIS
EVENING. EXPECT FLOODING OF HARBORS AND AT THE MOUTH OF CREEKS
ALONG THE LAKESHORE...AND ALSO ALONG FUHRMAN BLVD AND PORTIONS OF
ROUTE 5. IF THE LEVEL REACHES 9 FEET ABOVE LOW WATER DATUM...
FLOODING IS ALSO POSSIBLE IN PARTS OF THE UPPER NIAGARA RIVER IN
SPOTS SUCH AS GRAND ISLAND AND CAYUGA ISLAND.
