AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
754 PM EST TUE JAN 17 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE WILL PASS JUST TO THE NORTH OF LAKE ONTARIO THIS
EVENING AND EARLY TONIGHT WITH A STRONG WIND SETTING UP BEHIND THE
TRAILING COLD FRONT. WIND GUSTS MAY REACH 60 TO NEAR 70 MPH THIS
EVENING...THEN FALL BACK A LITTLE BUT REMAIN QUITE GUSTY ALL NIGHT.
LAKE EFFECT SNOWS WILL BECOME ESTABLISHED TO THE EAST OF LAKES ERIE
AND ONTARIO TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. COLD TEMPERATURES
FOLLOWING THE COLD FRONT WILL DROP THROUGH THE 20S AND TEENS TONIGHT
WITH A RECOVERY OF ONLY A COUPLE DEGREES DURING THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
CONVECTIVE LINE MOVING RAPIDLY EAST ACROSS THE STATE THIS EVENING
PRODUCING WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH...WITH MANY REPORTS OF
DAMAGE ACROSS THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE STATE. AS OF 730 PM...THE
LINE CURRENTLY JUST EAST OF ROCHESTER AND WELLSVILLE WILL CONTINUE
TO RACE EASTWARD AND BE OUT OF THE AREA BY 10 PM. NORTHERN PORTIONS
OF THE LINE HAVE SHOWN A WEAKENING TREND...THEREFORE WIND GUSTS MAY
NOT BE QUITE AS STRONG AS THEY WERE ACROSS THE WESTERN PORTION OF
THE STATE.

GRADIENT WINDS BEHIND THE CONVECTIVE LINE WILL REMAIN IN THE 30 TO
40 MPH RANGE THROUGH THE EVENING WITH GUSTS OF 50 TO 60 MPH. WINDS
WILL GRADUALLY DROP OFF AFTER MIDNIGHT. WE WILL MAINTAIN THE HIGH
WIND WARNING THROUGH THE EVENING...BUT LIKELY NEED TO CONSIDER
DOWNGRADING AT SOME POINT AFTER MIDNIGHT.

AS COLD AIR POURS OVER THE LAKES TEMPERATURES AT 850MB WILL FALL TO
A -14C TO -16C RANGE LATE TONIGHT AND THROUGH MUCH OF EARLY
WEDNESDAY. WIND BECOME WELL ALIGNED AT 270-280 DEGREES WHICH WILL
IMPINGE MAINLY UPON THE CHAUTAUQUA RIDGE AND THE SOUTHERN TUG HILL
TO CENTRAL NY. WILL HAVE A LAKE SNOW ADVISORY TONIGHT THROUGH MIDDAY
ON WEDNESDAY AS STEADY LAKE SNOWS ACCUMULATE GENERALLY 6 TO 8 INCHES
OVER THE AFOREMENTIONED AREAS.

TEMPERATURES TONIGHT WILL FALL TO THE LOW 20S NEAR THE LAKES AND
INTO THE TEENS INLAND AND ACROSS THE NORTH COUNTRY. WITH LITTLE
RECOVERY DURING THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
A VERY PROGRESSIVE FLOW CONTINUES WITH NO BLOCKING TO IMPEDE THE
TRAIN OF SYSTEMS WORKING THEIR WAY ACROSS NORTH AMERICA. WEDNESDAY
NIGHT AND THURSDAY MORNING WILL FEATURE A LULL IN THE ACTIVITY AS AN
UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WITH A SURFACE REFLECTION MOVE ACROSS THE REGION.
CLEARING SKIES ALONG WITH LIGHT WINDS...FRESH SNOW...AND A COLD
AIRMASS OVERHEAD WITH 850MB TEMPS AROUND -16C WILL MAKE FOR ANOTHER
COLD NIGHT WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THE ONLY CATCH IS THAT THE PERIOD OF
LIGHTEST WINDS WILL BE EARLIER IN THE EVENING BEFORE THE SURFACE
RIDGE SHIFTS EAST AND SOUTHERLY FLOW PICKS UP OVERNIGHT...LIMITING
THE WINDOW OF RADIATIONAL COOLING. FOR NOW WILL GO WITH LOWS IN THE
LOW TO MID TEENS WITH ZERO TO 5 BELOW ACROSS THE NORTH COUNTRY...A
FEW DEGREES BELOW GUIDANCE. THIS MAY NEED TO BE ADJUSTED LOWER YET
IF THE RIDGE'S PROGRESSION SLOWS AND TEMPERATURES HAVE MORE OF AN
OPPORTUNITY TO CRASH.

THE NEXT STORM SYSTEM TO IMPACT WESTERN NEW YORK WILL ARRIVE ON
THURSDAY AS A POTENT CLIPPER CROSSING THE NORTHERN TIER OF THE
COUNTRY WILL SWEEP A COLD FRONT ACROSS THE REGION. THIS FAST MOVING
SYSTEM WILL BRING A PERIOD OF SYNOPTIC SNOW TO ALL OF THE FORECAST
AREA THURSDAY WITH A TRANSITION TO LAKE EFFECT BY THURSDAY EVENING
AS COLD AIR SPILLS ACROSS THE LAKES IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT. GIVEN THE
SPEED WITH WHICH THE FRONT WILL TRANSITION THE REGION...SYNOPTIC
SNOWFALL WILL PROBABLY BE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF 1 TO 3 INCHES. LAKE
EFFECT AMOUNTS WILL BE TRICKY TO PINPOINT AS THERE WILL BE A PERIOD
OF VERY FAVORABLE CONDITIONS WITH SFC-850 DELTA T RUNNING FROM -13
TO -18 AND EQUILIBRIUM LEVELS STARTING OUT NEAR 10K FEET. INCREASING
SUBSIDENCE ACROSS LAKE ERIE WITH THE APPROACHING RIDGING ALOFT AND
AT THE SURFACE WILL PUT AN END TO LAKE EFFECT BY FRIDAY MORNING OFF
OF LAKE ERIE WHILE FAVORABLE CONDITIONS PERSIST THROUGH FRIDAY
MORNING EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO. GIVEN THE LONGER FETCH OFF OF THE
LAKE...ADVISORY LEVEL SNOWS WILL BE POSSIBLE THERE THURSDAY NIGHT
THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING.

HIGH PRESSURE MOVES OVERHEAD FRIDAY...PUTTING AN END TO ANY LAKE
EFFECT BY THE AFTERNOON. THE ARCTIC AIRMASS OVER THE REGION WILL
MAKE FOR A COLD WINTERS DAY WITH HIGHS IN THE TEENS TO AROUND 20 ON
THE LAKE PLAIN.

THE FORECAST BECOMES MORE COMPLICATED BY FRIDAY NIGHT AS THE HIGH
PRESSURE CENTER MOVES OFF TO THE EAST AND ANOTHER SHORTWAVE MOVING
INTO THE GREAT PLAINS LEADS TO SURFACE CYCLOGENESIS IN THE LEE OF
THE ROCKIES. AN AREA OF ISENTROPIC LIFT ALONG A BAROCLINIC ZONE WILL
MOVE ACROSS OR JUST SOUTH OF THE GREAT LAKES FRIDAY THROUGH
SATURDAY. THE PLACEMENT OF THIS BAROCLINIC ZONE AND THE ASSOCIATED
LIFT/PRECIPITATION IS A MATTER OF DEBATE AMONG THE MODELS WITH THE
GFS PLACING THE ZONE OVER WESTERN NEW YORK WHILE THE ECMWF KEEPS THE
SHORTWAVE AND THUS ALL OF THE ABOVE MENTIONED FEATURES FARTHER
SOUTH...JUST CLIPPING THE SOUTHERN TIER. FOR NOW WILL STICK WITH
CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA UNTIL MODEL GUIDANCE BECOMES
CLEARER. THE FORECAST LOWS FRIDAY NIGHT HEDGE SLIGHTLY TOWARDS THE
GFS WITH WIDESPREAD SINGLE DIGITS ACROSS THE REGION AND ZERO TO
MINUS 5 ACROSS THE NORTH COUNTRY. THIS MAY HAVE TO BE ADJUSTED
UPWARDS SIGNIFICANTLY DEPENDING ON THE PLACEMENT OF THE BAROCLINIC
ZONE.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
THE PROGRESSIVE PATTERN CONTINUES THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND INTO THE
FIRST PART OF NEXT WEEK. THE AREA OF ISENTROPIC LIFT THAT MAY BE A
FACTOR ACROSS WESTERN NEW YORK MOVES EAST AWAY FROM THE REGION BY
LATE SATURDAY AS THE ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW MOVES ACROSS THE OHIO
VALLEY TO THE MID ATLANTIC COAST. WARM ADVECTION AHEAD OF A BROAD
LOW DEVELOPING OVER THE NATION/S MIDSECTION WILL LEAD TO A
SIGNIFICANT WARMUP FOR THE LATTER HALF OF THE WEEKEND ACROSS THE
REGION WITH SATURDAY/S HIGHS NEAR TO SLIGHTLY BELOW AVERAGE...RISING
INTO THE 40S BY SUNDAY.

UNSETTLED WEATHER WILL PERSIST FROM SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY AS A
SERIES OF STORM SYSTEMS MAKE THEIR WAY ACROSS THE NATION. TIMING OF
THESE SYSTEMS IS IFFY AT THE MOMENT...SO CHANCE POPS WILL HAVE TO
DO. MODEL CONSENSUS DOES SUGGEST THAT TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO
RUN ABOVE AVERAGE DURING THIS PERIOD HOWEVER.

&&

.AVIATION /01Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THE GREATEST AVIATION IMPACT THIS EVENING WILL BE STRONG WIND GUSTS.
A LINE OF CONVECTION WILL CROSS THE AREA THROUGH 02Z. WIND GUSTS TO
60 KNOTS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THIS LINE. BEHIND THIS LINE...
SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS WILL AVERAGE 25 TO 35 KNOTS WITH GUSTS TO
50 KNOTS. THE GUSTIEST WINDS WILL BE LIMITED TO A TWO TO THREE
HOUR PERIOD. AFTER 06Z WINDS WILL SETTLE BACK TO A PROLONGED
PERIOD OF 20 TO 30 KNOTS THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE NIGHT.

MVFR CIGS WILL DEVELOP TONIGHT. COLD AIR WITH 850MB TEMPS IN THE
-14C TO -16C RANGE WILL PRODUCE LAKE EFFECT SNOW ALONG THE
CHAUTAUQUA RIDGE AND TUG HILL PLATEAU. KJHW WILL BE THE SOLE TAF
SITE WITH MAJOR IMPACT FROM THIS LAKE EFFECT WITH IFR CONDITIONS IN
FALLING SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW AFTER 03Z...IMPROVING TO MVFR AFTER
12Z ON WEDNESDAY.

OUTLOOK...
WEDNESDAY NIGHT...VFR SLIGHT CHANCE OF LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS.
THURSDAY...MVFR/IFR WITH SNOW LIKELY.
FRIDAY...MAINLY VFR...CHC SNOW SHOWERS SE OF BOTH LAKES.
SATURDAY...MVFR/VFR WITH A CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS.
SUNDAY...VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
A DEEP LOW PRESSURE CENTER WILL PASS JUST TO THE NORTH OF THE LAKES
THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT WITH A STRONG COLD FRONT TO FOLLOW CLOSELY.
THE FRONT WILL BRING A SHARP DROP IN TEMPERATURES AND AN INCREASE IN
WINDS WITH HIGH END GALES ON BOTH LAKES. THE STRONGEST WIND GUSTS
WILL FOLLOW CLOSELY BEHIND THE FRONT THEN SETTLE A BIT OVERNIGHT...
BUT STILL REMAIN STRONG ENOUGH TO WARRANT A LONGER TERM SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY TO FOLLOW THE CURRENT GALE WARNING. ANOTHER WIND EVENING IS
ON TAP FOR THURSDAY...BUT MAY STAY JUST BELOW GALE WARNING CRITERIA.
