AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
110 PM EST MON DEC 17 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
CLOUDY SKIES WILL PREVAIL ACROSS THE REGION TODAY WITH RAIN
RETURNING LATE THIS AFTERNOON TO SOUTHWESTERN NEW YORK STATE. A LOW
WILL TRACK ACROSS PENNSYLVANIA AND INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND WHICH
WILL BRING A STEADY RAIN INTO THE REMAINDER OF THE REGION THIS
EVENING WITH RAIN LINGERING INTO TUESDAY. WARM TEMPERATURES WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH MUCH OF THE WEEK BEFORE A TURN TOWARDS COLDER AND
MORE WINTRY WEATHER BY FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
REGIONAL RADARS THIS EARLY AFTERNOON SHOW THE CWA DRY...THOUGH WE
WILL LOOK SOUTHWARD FOR OUR NEXT BATCH OF RAIN. EXPECT THE RAIN
ACROSS THAT IS ACROSS SOUTHERN OHIO AND NORTHERN WV AROUND NOONTIME
TO REACH THE SOUTHERN TIER LATE THIS AFTERNOON. OTHERWISE CLOUDY
SKIES AND MILD THIS AFTERNOON.

EXPECT ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES FOR MOST LOCATIONS...WITH HIGHS NEAR
OR ABOVE 50 ACROSS THE WESTERN TWO THIRDS OF THE CWA. A DEVELOPING
SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW MAY KEEP BUFFALO FROM RISING MUCH ABOVE 50...BUT
DOWNSLOPING WILL CONTINUE IN THE GENESEE VALLEY AND FINGER LAKES
REGIONS...WHERE TEMPERATURES SHOULD REACH THE LOWER TO MID 50S.

AN UPPER LEVEL TROF AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW WILL TRACK FROM THE
OHIO VALLEY AND INTO THE REGION TONIGHT. NAM BUFKIT INDICATES LIFT
WELL ALOFT ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER TROF...AS WELL AS WARM AIR
ADVECTION IN THE MID-LEVELS. GFS/RGEM/NAM AND SREF ENSEMBLES ARE IN
EXCELLENT AGREEMENT IN TERMS OF QPF...AND GIVEN THE LARGE-SCALE
NATURE OF THE PRECIPITATION HAVE A HIGH CONFIDENCE IN MEASURABLE
PRECIPITATION TONIGHT. NOTED THE 09Z HRRR AND THE 06Z RUN OF THE
NAM ARE A BIT SLOWER THAN PREVIOUS GUIDANCE...SO TRY TO BLEND THIS
SLOWER TIMING WITH FASTER MODELS SUCH AS THE GFS. USING THIS
APPROACH...EXPECT RAIN WILL SPREAD FROM SOUTH TO NORTH THIS
EVENING...LIKELY ENTERING WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHERN TIER
AROUND OR JUST AFTER.

THIS SHOULD BE A FAIRLY SOAKING RAINFALL...BRINGING AN AVERAGE OF A
HALF INCH OF RAIN TO THE REGION TONIGHT. LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS TO
AN INCH ARE POSSIBLE...WITH THE BEST CHANCE OF THIS IN LOCATIONS
EAST OF ROCHESTER. FORTUNATELY...WARMER AIR SHOULD BE IN PLACE BY
TONIGHT...WITH ALL PRECIPITATION LIKELY FALLING AS RAIN. EXPECT
FOG WILL DEVELOP IN SOME AREAS TONIGHT

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
WIDESPREAD STEADY RAIN WILL BE ACROSS THE AREA TUESDAY MORNING IN
AREA OF STRONG ISENTROPIC ASCENT AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING SURFACE
LOW. LATEST MODELS CONTINUING TO SUGGEST THAT THE LOW WILL REFORM
ALONG THE SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND COAST DURING THE DAY TUESDAY AND MOVE
UP THE NEW ENGLAND COAST. AS THIS HAPPENS...COLDER AIR WILL BE DRAWN
INTO THE STATE TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND TUESDAY NIGHT. THIS SHOULD
RESULT IN A GRADUAL TRANSITION TO SOME SCATTERED LAKE/OROGRAPHICALLY
ENHANCED RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS WITH ALL SNOW BECOMING LIKELY OVER THE
HIGHER TERRAIN. ANY SNOW ACCUMULATIONS SHOULD BE LIMITED TO LESS
THAN 2 INCHES AND LIKELY CONFINED TO THE HIGHER TERRAIN TUESDAY
NIGHT.

BUILDING HEIGHTS EXPECTED ON WEDNESDAY IN RESPONSE TO STRONG
SHORTWAVE MOVING ACROSS THE FOUR CORNERS REGION. WEAK SURFACE RIDGE
BUILDING ACROSS THE REGION SHOULD BRING MAINLY QUIET WEATHER
WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT...ALTHOUGH THERE MAY BE SOME LINGERING
LIGHT PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE NORTH COUNTRY WEDNESDAY. PERHAPS THE
POTENTIAL FOR A TOUCH OF SUN WEDNESDAY MAY HELP TO GET TEMPERATURES
INTO THE UPPER 30S TO LOWER 40S.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
A SIGNIFICANT STORM MAY BRING MUCH MORE IMPACTFUL WEATHER LATE NEXT
WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND BROUGHT ON BY A DIGGING UPPER LEVEL TROUGH
WHICH LOOKS TO TAKE ON A NEGATIVE TILT OVER THE GREAT LAKES. THERE
ARE STILL SOME DIFFERENCES MAINLY IN TIMING OF THE SURFACE LOW WITH
THE 12Z GFS ABOUT SIX HOURS FASTER THAN THE 12Z ECMWF BUT THERE IS
NOW SOME AGREEMENT IN THE TRACK SHIFTING SOMEWHERE OVER THE EASTERN
LAKES THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. THE 12Z GFS SHOWS THE LOW CENTER
TRACKING JUST TO THE NORTHWEST OF THE LAKES WHILE THE 12Z ECMWF
SHOWS THE STORM TRACK ACROSS OUR FORECAST AREA ALONG THE I-90
CORRIDOR. THE GFS TRACK IS A CLIMATOLOGICALLY FAVORED TRACK FOR HIGH
WINDS WITH 12Z BUFKIT PROFILES SHOWING WIND GUSTS TO 50 OR 60 MPH
POSSIBLE ON FRIDAY ONCE THE SYSTEM SHIFTS TO OUR EAST AND COLD
ADVECTION HELPS MIX 60 TO 70 KT WINDS AT 850MB TO THE SURFACE. THE
ECMWF TRACK WOULD NOT BRING WINDS AS STRONG WITH THE CENTER SHIFTING
OVERHEAD.

AHEAD OF THIS POTENTIAL WIND IMPACT SOUTHERLY FLOW EAST OF THE
STORM SYSTEM WILL BRING WARM AIR AND INCREASING MOISTURE. FORECAST
HIGHS ON THURSDAY LOOK TO BE ABOVE NORMAL AVERAGING IN THE MID 40S
ACROSS INLAND AREAS AND UPPER 40S TO NEAR 50 ALONG THE LAKE SHORES
WITH A DOWNSLOPING SOUTHERLY WIND. WITH SUCH MILD TEMPERATURES ANY
CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION WOULD COME IN THE FORM OF RAIN DURING THE
DAY. THURSDAY NIGHT WE SHOULD SEE A CHANGE TO A PERIOD OF COOLER
WEATHER AS THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH SHIFTS OVER THE LOWER LAKES AND
THE SURFACE LOW CROSSES NEAR NEW YORK.

THE COOL DOWN CONTINUES FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY WITH BOTH MODELS
SHIFTING THE LOW EAST OR NORTH EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA. LIKELY
PROBABILITIES FOR WIDESPREAD SYNOPTIC SNOW AND GUSTY WINDS ARE ARE
INCLUDED IN THE FORECAST FOR FRIDAY WITH SURFACE TEMPERATURES ONLY
IN THE 30S. BOTH MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW COLD AIR IN PLACE THROUGH
THE WEEKEND WITH WEST TO NORTHWEST WINDS OVER THE LAKES WHICH
FAVORS A SET UP FOR ACCUMULATING LAKE EFFECT SNOW DOWN WIND OF
THE LAKES OVER THE WEEKEND.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AT 18Z MVFR AND VFR FLIGHT CONDITIONS WERE FOUND ACROSS THE REGION
TO START THE TAF PACKAGE. TO OUR SOUTH THIS EARLY AFTERNOON AN AREA
OF LOW PRESSURE WAS FOUND OVER NORTHERN KENTUCKY WITH THE NORTHERN
SHIELD OF PRECIPITATION NOW REACHING INTO SOUTHERN OHIO AND NORTHERN
WEST VIRGINIA.

THIS SURFACE LOW WILL ADVANCE NORTHEASTWARD AND PASS JUST TO OUR
SOUTH OVERNIGHT ACROSS PENNSYLVANIA. TONIGHT WINDS WILL
DIMINISH...BUT FLOW FROM A NORTHEAST DIRECTION AS THE RAIN NEARS.
THIS LIGHT...BUT NORTHEAST FLOW IS CLIMATOLOGICALLY FAVORED FOR IFR
CIGS AND VSBYS AT ALL TAF SITES. HAVE LOWERED ALL TAF SITES INTO
IFR...AND POSSIBLY BRIEF LIFR WITH A PERIOD OF RAIN OVERNIGHT. AS
THE LOW ADVANCES EASTWARD TOWARDS LONG ISLAND EARLY TUESDAY MORNING
WINDS WILL SHIFT TO A NORTHWESTERLY FLOW AND ALLOW FOR SOME
IMPROVEMENT TOWARDS MVFR.

TOWARDS MORNING A DRY SLOT MAY END THE RAIN FIRST IN THE GENESEE
VALLEY...WITH A DEFORMATION BAND/UPSLOPE SHOWERS LINGERING ACROSS
WNY. AS THE LOW NEAR LI DEEPENS OUR DRY SLOT WILL ERODE WITH SHOWERS
RETURNING EASTWARD ACROSS THE GENESEE VALLEY AND NORTH COUNTRY.
EXPECT STILL MVFR FLIGHT CONDITIONS OVER MUCH OF THE TAF SITES
THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON.

OUTLOOK...
TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT...RAIN ENDING WITH SLOW IMPROVEMENT
BACK TO VFR.
WEDNESDAY...MAINLY VFR.
THURSDAY...DETERIORATING TO MVFR WITH SHOWERS LIKELY IN THE AFTERNOON.
THURSDAY NIGHT...MVFR WITH RAIN SHOWERS CHANGING TO SNOW. GUSTY
WINDS.
FRIDAY...IFR WITH SNOW LIKELY. GUSTY WINDS.
SATURDAY...MVFR/IFR SNOW SHOWERS LIKELY.

&&

.MARINE...
HAVE DROPPED THE SCA FOR THE EASTERN HALF OF LAKE ONTARIO AS WINDS
AND WAVES CONTINUE TO DIMINISH. WAVES WILL STILL NEAR 4 FEET THIS
MORNING ACROSS FAR NORTHEASTERN PORTIONS OF THE LAKE...BUT A
WEAKENING PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL ALLOW THESE WINDS AND WAVES TO
FURTHER DIMINISH THIS AFTERNOON.

WINDS WILL INCREASE AGAIN OUT OF THE NORTHWEST LATER TUESDAY BEHIND
ANOTHER AREA OF LOW PRESSURE. THIS MAY BRING SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY
CONDITIONS ONCE AGAIN...ESPECIALLY ON LAKE ONTARIO. THESE WINDS WILL
CONTINUE TUESDAY NIGHT BEFORE DIMINISHING ON WEDNESDAY.

A STRONGER STORM SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO MOVE INTO THE VICINITY OF THE
LOWER LAKES BY THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY. THIS MAY BRING A PERIOD OF
STRONGER WINDS...ALTHOUGH THE DETAILS REMAIN VERY UNCERTAIN.
