AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
1122 AM EST FRI FEB 24 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE WILL INTENSIFY AS IT TRACKS ACROSS THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES
THROUGH THIS EVENING. THIS WILL BRING SOME SNOW AND RAIN TO THE
REGION TODAY...FOLLOWED BY WINDY CONDITIONS AND SOME LAKE EFFECT SNOW
TONIGHT. THE LOW WILL TRACK INTO THE MARITIMES SATURDAY...WITH
MORE LAKE SNOWS IN SOME LOCATIONS.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
THE MAIN IMPACT FROM THE EVOLVING WEATHER SYSTEM OVER THE NEXT 12-18
HOURS WILL NOT BE RAIN...SNOW...BUT WIND.  AFTER AN ADMITTEDLY
FRUSTRATING FEW DAYS IN TERMS OF SENSIBLE WEATHER...THIS SYSTEM
FINALLY APPEARS TO BE SHOWING ITSELF AS A WIND EVENT...SOMETHING
THAT WAS CONSIDERED OFF AND ON OVER THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS.

THE CONCERN IS NOT FOR A DEEPENING LOW OR ISALLOBARIC
COMPONENT...BUT A STRONG DRY AIR INTRUSION SHOWING THAT IS BEGINNING
TO SHOW UP IN WATER VAPOR IMAGERY ALONG WITH A LOWERING PV
INTRUSION.  GUSTS UPSTREAM IN WESTERN OH ARE ALREADY NEARING
50KTS...OFTEN A CANARY-IN-A-COAL-MINE FOR STRONG WINDS IN WESTERN NY
THE CURRENTLY EVOLVING WEATHER SCENARIO.  EXPECT A SURFACE LOW TO
MOVE ACROSS LAKE ERIE THIS EVENING AND CONTINUE TO THE
NORTHEAST...DEEPENING SLIGHTLY.  THE STRONGEST ISALLOBARIC COMPONENT
WILL ACCOMPANY THE LOW TRACK...JUST NORTH OF THE AREA.
HOWEVER...THE PV INTRUSION WILL PASS TO THE SOUTH.  MODEL LOW LEVEL
WINDS...USING 850MB AS A GUIDE...INCREASE STEADILY WITH THE PV
MAX...FROM ABOUT 50KTS THIS MORNING TO OVER 70KTS EARLY THIS EVENING
OVER THE GENESEE VALLEY.

WITH THIS IN MIND...WILL UPGRADE THE WIND ADVISORY TO A HIGH WIND
WARNING.  TIMING IS 5PM-12AM WESTERN NY AND 7PM-2AM GENESEE VALLEY
EAST.  THE REST OF THE FORECAST WILL BE ADJUSTED AS NEEDED...BUT THE
MAIN CONCERN IS FOR WIND.

SNOW OFF LAKE ONTARIO (AND SYNOPTIC SNOW)...

COLDER AIR WILL BUILD IN BEHIND THE LOW. WHILE 850 MB
TEMPERATURES WILL ONLY DROP TO THE -6C TO -9C RANGE
OVERNIGHT...THERE WILL BE A LOT OF SYNOPTIC MOISTURE ON THE BACK
OF THE EXITING LOW. MODELS REFLECT THIS IN QPF FIELDS...WHICH
APPEAR TO KEY HEAVILY ON UPSLOPE FEATURES. IF IT WERE DRY IN THE
BOUNDARY LAYER...WOULD BE SKEPTICAL OF THESE QPF AMOUNTS...BUT
GIVEN THE CLOSE PROXIMITY OF THE MOISTURE WRAPPED LOW...GENERALLY
ACCEPT QPF FOR HIGHER RESOLUTION NAM12/RGEM. SNOW AMOUNTS WILL
VARY...WITH THE GREATEST AMOUNTS LIKELY EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO.
HERE...TEMPERATURES WILL BE COLDEST...AND UPSLOPING THE GREATEST.
BECAUSE OF THIS...ISSUE WARNINGS FOR THIS AREA...WITH THE TUG HILL
LIKELY TO SEE ROUGHLY FOOT OF SNOW FROM THIS. IN JEFFERSON/LEWIS
COUNTIES...SNOWS WILL BE MAINLY SYNOPTIC TODAY...AND LAKE ENHANCED
TONIGHT...WHILE OSWEGO COUNTY WILL SEE MORE OF A PURE LAKE EFFECT
EVENT. WHILE HEADLINES DIFFER SLIGHTLY...AM GENERALLY LOOKING FOR
6 O 12 INCHES IN THE WARNING AREA...WITH A SLIGHTLY LATER START
TIME FOR OSWEGO COUNTY. THE BIGGEST IMPACT SHOULD BE ON THE TUG
HILL TONIGHT...WHEN UPSLOPE SNOWS COMBINE WITH GUSTY WINDS...WHICH
WILL LIKELY PRODUCE VERY POOR DRIVING CONDITIONS. EXPECT LESSER
AMOUNTS SOUTHEAST OF LAKE ONTARIO IN NORTHERN CAYUGA AND WAYNE
COUNTIES. MOST ORGANIZED BANDS WILL START LATE TONIGHT AND
CONTINUE INTO SATURDAY.

SNOWS OFF LAKE ERIE...

OFF LAKE ERIE...SNOW AMOUNTS SHOULD BE LESS...BUT STILL SIGNIFICANT.
GENERALLY LOOKING FOR 4 TO 7 INCHES OF SNOW TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY IN
WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHERN TIER. UPSLOPE REGIONS SHOULD
AGAIN SEE THE MOST SNOW...PARTICULARLY THE CHAUTAUQUA RIDGE AND
PERHAPS THE BOSTON HILLS. THIS HAS ALSO PROMPTED A LAKE EFFECT
ADVISORY.

FOR THE BIG CITIES OF BUFFALO AND ROCHESTER...EXPECT LESSER SNOW
AMOUNTS. WILL HAVE TO WATCH FOR POSSIBLE TIE INS WITH MOISTURE
UPSTREAM...AS THIS MAY LOCALLY ENHANCE SNOW FALL AMOUNTS.
OTHERWISE...EXPECTING AN INCH OR TWO TONIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
THE DEEPENING LOW THAT WILL BRING A MIX OF PRECIPITATION TO THE AREA
TODAY WILL LIFT OUT ACROSS THE CANADIAN MARITIMES SATURDAY. A BRISK
NORTHWEST FLOW OF COLDER AIR WILL ALREADY BE IN PLACE WITH PLENTY OF
SYNOPTIC SCALE MOISTURE LINGERING BEHIND THE LOW. THIS WILL RESULT
IN WIDESPREAD SNOW SHOWERS AND STEADIER SNOW SOUTHEAST OF THE LAKES.

REGARDING THE LAKE ENHANCEMENT OFF LAKE ERIE...A COMBINATION OF DEEP
MOISTURE...FAVORABLE SNOW GROWTH AND LAKE INSTABILITY (EQUILIBRIUM
LEVELS AROUND 9K FEET) WILL BE IN PLACE THROUGH A GOOD PART OF
SATURDAY. THE WEST TO NORTHWEST FETCH WILL MAINLY IMPACT THE
SOUTHERN TIER...INCLUDING SOUTHERN ERIE AND WYOMING COUNTIES. FROM
EARLY SATURDAY EVENING THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF SATURDAY
NIGHT...BUFKIT PROFILES SHOW A TREND OF DIMINISHING MOISTURE AND A
LOWERING INVERSION AS HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO WORKS EAST FROM THE
OHIO VALLEY. AFTER MIDNIGHT...THE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND SNOW GROWTH
BECOME EVEN LESS FAVORABLE FOR SNOW PRODUCTION. BASED ON THESE
TRENDS...A LAKE EFFECT SNOW ADVISORY WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT THROUGH
SATURDAY.

A SIMILAR TREND WILL BE TAKING PLACE SOUTHEAST OF LAKE ONTARIO
SATURDAY. THE FAVORABLE PARAMETERS OF DEEP MOISTURE...SNOW GROWTH
AND INSTABILITY (EQUILIBRIUM LEVELS ABOUT 10K) WILL RESULT IN
STEADIER SNOW THROUGHOUT THE DAY. THE BIGGEST IMPACT FROM
POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL WILL BE FELT OVER OSWEGO COUNTY
WHERE STEADIER SNOW WILL HAVE ALREADY SET UP FRIDAY NIGHT. AS A
RESULT...A LAKE EFFECT SNOW WARNING WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR THAT
AREA THROUGH AT LEAST SATURDAY. THE LOW LEVEL WIND TRAJECTORY ACROSS
LAKE ONTARIO WILL RESULT IN ORGANIZED LAKE SNOWS ACROSS WAYNE AND
NORTHERN CAYUGA COUNTIES AS WELL. BUT SINCE THE BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS
WILL NOT DIRECT THE STEADIER SNOW INTO THESE COUNTIES UNTIL LATE
FRIDAY NIGHT OR SATURDAY MORNING...WE HAVE DECIDED TO GO WITH A LAKE
EFFECT SNOW ADVISORY AT THIS TIME. THIS MAY HAVE TO BE UPGRADED TO A
WARNING IF THE SNOWS BECOME ORGANIZED SOONER THAN EXPECTED. THE LAKE
SNOWS WILL LINGER SOUTHEAST OF LAKE ONTARIO THROUGH AT LEAST THE
FIRST HALF OF SATURDAY NIGHT...BEFORE THE LOWERING INVERSION AND
DECREASING MOISTURE ALLOW THE SNOW TO SUBSIDE LATER IN THE NIGHT.

AREAS OUTSIDE OF THE STEADIER LAKE SNOWS WILL STILL SEE OCCASIONAL
SNOW SHOWERS ON SATURDAY...BUT ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN
BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA. HOWEVER...THE POTENTIAL FOR UPSTREAM
CONNECTIONS TO GEORGIAN BAY AND LAKE HURON COULD BRING HIGHER
ACCUMULATIONS TO THE NIAGARA FRONTIER AND WESTERN SHORES OF LAKE
ONTARIO AS WELL.

THE PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN THE DEPARTING CANADIAN MARITIMES LOW
AND HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY WILL RESULT IN
BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS ON SATURDAY. THIS WILL HAVE HAVE AN
ADDITIONAL IMPACT ON TRAVEL WITH FREQUENT WHITEOUT CONDITIONS LIKELY
IN THE STEADIER LAKE SNOW AREAS.

FOR SUNDAY...ANY SNOW SHOWERS LINGERING SOUTHEAST OF LAKE ONTARIO
SHOULD END BY LATE MORNING AS HIGH PRESSURE CRESTS OVER THE STATE.

AS THE HIGH SLIDES OFF THE EAST COAST SUNDAY NIGHT...A DEVELOPING
LOW WILL BE TRACKING EAST ACROSS THE UPPER AND CENTRAL GREAT LAKES.
A WARM FRONT EXTENDING EAST OF THE LOW WILL LIFT NORTH ACROSS OUR
AREA AND BRING A CHANCE FOR SOME LIGHT SNOW TO THE NORTH COUNTRY.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
LOOK FOR A WARM AND DRY START TO THE WEEK AS A CLIPPER LOW SLIDES
FROM THE UPPER GREAT LAKES INTO QUEBEC PLACING WESTERN NEW YORK
FIRMLY IN THE WARM SECTOR OF THE LOW UNDER BROAD SOUTHERLY FLOW. ANY
ISENTROPICALLY INDUCED PRECIP WILL OCCUR FAR TO OUR NORTH IN
CANADA...RESULTING IN DRY DAY WITH A DECENT AMOUNT OF SUNSHINE
ACROSS THE AREA HELPING HIGHS TO CLIMB WELL INTO THE 40S.

MODEL CONSENSUS SUGGESTS A DRY NIGHT TUESDAY NIGHT...HOWEVER THERE
ARE SOME DISPARITIES IN THE TEMPERATURE FORECAST BASED ON
DIFFERENCES IN THE TIMING/LOCATION OF A SURFACE LOW PROGGED TO FORM
OVER THE GREAT PLAINS SOMETIME BETWEEN MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY
AFTERNOON. THE GFS IS MUCH FASTER IN DEVELOPING BROAD WARM ADVECTION
ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY/LOWER GREAT LAKES MONDAY NIGHT AS OPPOSED TO
THE ECMWF THAT ALLOWS COLDER AIR TO FLOW ACROSS THE AREA BEFORE WARM
ADVECTION KICKS IN TUESDAY NIGHT. THIS PRESENTS A VERY SIMILAR
CONUNDRUM TO THE ONE PLAYING OUT RIGHT NOW FOR TONIGHT/S FORECAST
AND GIVEN HOW FAR OUT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT...CHANGES WILL BE VERY
MINOR...STICKING WITH SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL LOWS IN THE UPPER 20S
MONDAY NIGHT.

THE AFOREMENTIONED LOW THAT DEVELOPS OVER THE MIDWEST DURING THE
EARLY PART OF NEST WEEK AND TRACKS ACROSS THE LOWER GREAT LAKES AND
EVENTUALLY ACROSS NEW YORK STATE SOMETIME DURING THE MIDDLE OF NEXT
WEEK WITH TIMING DEPENDENT ON WHICH MODEL YOU GO WITH. GIVEN THE
UNCERTAINTY ALREADY DISCUSSED AND THE LACK OF CONFIDENCE IN ANY ONE
SOLUTION...THE GRIDS FOR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY WILL FEATURE
BROAD-BRUSHED CHANCE POPS WITH RUNNING ABOUT 5 DEGREES ABOVE
NORMAL...WHICH IS APPROPRIATE GIVEN THE TRENDS THIS SEASON.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
AN AREA OF WARM AIR ADVECTION IN THE MID-LEVELS WILL CONTINUE TO
LIFT NORTHWARD THROUGH THIS MORNING. THIS WILL BRING ART A PERIOD
OF SNOW...WITH ELSEWHERE LIKELY TO JUST SEE SCATTERED SHOWERS
THROUGH THIS MORNING. CIGS SHOULD TREND LOWER AS MORE MOISTURE
BUILDS IN...THOUGH THE SE FLOW ALOFT SHOULD HELP KEEP BUF/IAG/ROC
IN THE MVFR RANGE.

STEADIER RAIN WILL MOVE IN THIS AFTERNOON...WHICH WILL LIKELY
LOWER BOTH VSBY AND CIGS. AS THE LOW DEEPENS AND MOVES ACROSS THE
LAKES...WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE SW-W LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
THIS WILL TRANSITION RAIN SHOWERS TO SNOW SHOWERS FROM WEST TO EAST.

EXPECT SOME RESTRICTIONS TO REMAIN FOR THE BETTER PART OF THE
NIGHT...AS THE UPPER LEVEL LOW SLOWLY EXITS EAST. LOWEST
CONDITIONS SHOULD BE AT JHW/ART...WHERE LAKE ENHANCEMENT IS MOST
LIKELY.

OUTLOOK...
SATURDAY...VFR...WITH IFR/MVFR IN SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS AND AREAS
OF LAKE EFFECT SNOW EAST OF THE LAKES.
SUNDAY...VFR...SCTD LAKE EFFECT SNOW SOUTHEASTERN LAKE ONTARIO.
MONDAY...VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
ISSUES GALES FOR A GOOD PORTION OF THE WATERS...AS LOW PRESSURE IS
FORECAST TO INTENSIFY AS IT CROSSES THE WATERS. STRONGEST WINDS
SHOULD BE ON LAKE ERIE THIS EVENING...WITH THIS THEN SHIFTING TO
EASTERN PORTIONS OF LAKE ONTARIO LATER TONIGHT. OTHERWISE...SMALL
CRAFTS UP ELSEWHERE.

WINDS SHOULD REMAIN UP WELL INTO THE WEEKEND...WITH GALES LIKELY TO
TRANSITION TO SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES FOR SOME TIME.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
LOW PRESSURE WILL TRACK ACROSS THE EASTERN LAKES WHILE
INTENSIFYING. THIS WILL CAUSE A RAPID WIND INCREASE AND SHIFT LATE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING...FAVORABLE FOR CAUSING A SIEGE EVENT.  HAVE
ISSUED A LAKESHORE FLOOD WARNING FOR ERIE AND CHAUTAUQUA COUNTIES.
