AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
349 AM EST SAT DEC 29 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE LIFTING OUT OF THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY EARLY THIS MORNING
WILL REORGANIZE AND INTENSIFY OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST THIS
AFTERNOON WHILE SPREADING ACCUMULATING SNOWS ACROSS ALL OF OUR
FORECAST AREA. THE SNOW WILL TAPER OFF TO SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS FOR
MOST AREAS LATE TODAY AND TONIGHT...ALTHOUGH LAKE EFFECT SNOWS WILL
BECOME ESTABLISHED SOUTHEAST OF BOTH LAKES. THESE LAKE SNOWS WILL
DIMINISH ON SUNDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE WILL NOSE NORTH FROM THE OHIO
VALLEY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR ACCUMULATING SNOW WILL BE IN EFFECT
INTO THIS EVENING FOR THE VAST MAJORITY OF OUR FORECAST AREA...WITH
THE EXCEPTION BEING JEFFERSON COUNTY WHERE SNOWFALL AMOUNTS ARE
EXPECTED TO FALL SHORT OF ADVISORY CRITERIA. THE DETAILS...

MUCH LIKE THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS...A STORM SYSTEM IN THE SOUTHERN
BRANCH OF A SPLIT FLOW WILL LIFT OUT OF THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY AND
SPREAD ACCUMULATING SNOW ACROSS OUR REGION. THE DIFFERENCE WITH THIS
STORM THOUGH WILL BE THAT THIS SYSTEM WILL NOT BE AS STRONG AND WILL
NOT HAVE AS MUCH MOISTURE TO WORK WITH...SO SNOWFALL AMOUNTS WILL
NOT BE AS SIGNIFICANT. EXTRAPOLATION OF SATELLITE SOUNDER IMAGES
SUGGESTS THAT PWAT VALUES WILL BE IN THE VCNTY OF .4 TO .5" WHICH
WILL BE ABOUT HALF OF THAT FOUND IN THE IMMEDIATE POST-CHRISTMAS DAY
EVENT. THERE ARE ALSO ISSUES WITH THE TIMING OF POSSIBLE PHASING
WITH THE NORTHERN BRANCH...BUT BY THAT TIME...THE SYSTEM WILL BE OFF
THE NEW ENGLAND COAST AND WILL NOT HAVE A DIRECT IMPACT ON OUR AREA.

AS OF 08Z...WEAK LOW PRESSURE WAS IN THE VCNTY OF SOUTHERN WESTERN
VIRGINIA. PRESSURE FALLS INDICATE THAT THE LOW WILL MAKE ITS WAY TO
ABOUT KPIT BY MIDDAY BEFORE THE ENERGY FROM THE SYSTEM TRANSFERS TO
THE COAST. AT THAT POINT...LOW PRESSURE MOVING UP THE COAST OF THE
CAROLINAS WILL REAP THE BENEFITS AND RAPIDLY DEEPEN TO <990MB OFF
THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC COAST. MEANWHILE...THE SFC LOW NEAR KPIT WILL
WEAKEN AND BECOME ABSORBED WITHIN THE TIGHTENING SFC-H85 CYCLONIC
FLOW.

A SHIELD OF LIGHT SNOW ASSOCIATED WITH THE OHIO VALLEY LOW IS IN THE
PROCESS OF BLOSSOMING ACROSS THE MID WEST (08Z)...AND AS WE PROGRESS
THROUGH DAYBREAK...THIS AREA OF SNOW WILL WORK ITS WAY TO THE FAR
WESTERN COUNTIES OF WRN NEW YORK AS WELL AS SOUTHERN ONTARIO. BY
LUNCHTIME...SNOW SHOULD BE FALLING ACROSS ALL OF WESTERN AND NORTH
CENTRAL NEW YORK. SNOWFALL RATES WILL AVERAGE A HALF INCH PER HOUR
WITH UP TO AN INCH AN HOUR POSSIBLE...MAINLY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
TIER AND FOR PORTIONS OF THE FINGER LAKES REGION. THIS WILL LEAD TO
DAYTIME SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF 3 TO 4 INCHES FOR MOST AREAS...WITH
SLIGHTLY LOWER AMOUNTS NEAR LAKE ONTARIO AND EQUALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS
NEAR THE PENNSYLVANIA BORDER. GIVEN THAT TEMPERATURES WILL LARGELY
BE IN THE 20S TODAY...THIS WILL RESULT IN ANOTHER ROUND OF SNOW
COVERED ROADS.

TONIGHT...A DEEP COASTAL STORM WILL MAKE ITS WAY UP ALONG THE NEW
ENGLAND COAST WHILE FAIRLY STRONG HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS
THE OHIO VALLEY. THIS WILL PLACE OUR REGION WITHIN A COLD CYCLONIC
FLOW WITH AMPLE SYNOPTIC MOISTURE SUPPORTING ADDITIONAL MINOR SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS. AS THE GENERAL SYNOPTIC LIFT FROM THE COASTAL LOW
EXITS OUR REGION FROM WEST TO EAST...THE WIDESPREAD SYNOPTIC SNOWS
WILL TAPER OFF TO SCATTERED LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS...BUT NOT BEFORE
ANOTHER INCH OR TWO OF ACCUMULATION COULD TAKE PLACE. THE HIGHEST
AMOUNTS (2-3 INCHES) WILL BE EAST OF LK ONTARIO WHERE THE SYNOPTIC
LIFT WILL PERSIST PAST MIDNIGHT.

AS IS TYPICALLY THE CASE IN THE WAKE OF AN EXITING STORM SYSTEM...
THE SYNOPTIC SCALE PROCESSES WILL TRANSITION TO MESOSCALE DURING THE
COURSE OF THE NIGHT AS H85 TEMPS WILL SETTLE TO AROUND -12C. THIS
WILL INDUCE A DECENT LAKE RESPONSE FOR SITES SOUTHEAST OF BOTH
LAKES...AS A CAP AVERAGING 8K FT WILL BE IN PLACE ALONG WITH A LOW
SHEARED ENVIRONMENT. GIVEN THE 310 FLOW...THERE WILL LIKELY BE AN
UPSTREAM CONNECTION FOR THE LAKE ERIE ACTIVITY TO FEED UPON. THIS IS
DEPICTED WELL BY THE RGEM AND TO A LESSER DEGREE...THE NAM AND GFS.

TEMPERATURES TONIGHT WILL DROP THROUGH THE 20S ACROSS THE WESTERN
COUNTIES...AND ARE FORECAST TO BOTTOM OUT CLOSE TO 10 ACROSS THE
NORTH COUNTRY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
AT THE START OF SUNDAY...A WEST-NORTHWESTERLY FLOW OF SEASONABLY
COLD /APPROXIMATELY -12C AT 850 MB/ AIR WILL BE IN PLACE ACROSS THE
LOWER GREAT LAKES. THIS WILL LEAD TO CONTINUED AREAS OF MORE
CONCENTRATED LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS EAST-SOUTHEAST OF THE LAKES
INITIALLY...WHILE MUCH MORE SCATTERED SYNOPTIC-SCALE AND
OROGRAPHICALLY-DRIVEN SNOW SHOWERS WILL BE FOUND ACROSS THE
REMAINDER OF THE REGION.

AS THE DAY PROGRESSES...HIGH PRESSURE WILL QUICKLY RIDGE NORTHEAST
FROM THE TENNESSEE VALLEY ALONG WITH MUCH DRIER AIR AND INCREASING
AMOUNTS OF SUBSIDENCE...WHICH WILL CAUSE ALL OF THIS SNOW SHOWER
ACTIVITY TO STEADILY DIMINISH OVER TIME. BY THE END OF THE DAY...
EXPECT JUST SOME LINGERING SCATTERED LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS TO BE
LEFTOVER SOUTHEAST OF THE LAKES...WITH THE REMAINDER OF THE REGION
LARGELY DRY. GIVEN THE EXPECTED DIMINISHING TREND OVER TIME...EXPECT
THAT ANY ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATIONS ON SUNDAY WILL BE RELATIVELY
MINOR...WITH PERHAPS AN INCH OR TWO FALLING WITHIN THE FAVORED AREAS
OF LAKE ENHANCEMENT SOUTHEAST OF THE LAKES...AND A HALF INCH OR LESS
OF FRESH ACCUMULATION ELSEWHERE.

SUNDAY NIGHT...THE AXIS OF THE SURFACE RIDGE WILL SLIP SOUTHWARD TO
THE CAROLINA COAST...WHILE A WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE SLIDES EAST ACROSS
ONTARIO PROVINCE. IN BETWEEN THESE TWO FEATURES...THE LOW LEVEL FLOW
WILL BACK TO WEST-SOUTHWESTERLY AND CONSEQUENTLY ADVECT WARMER AIR
INTO OUR REGION ALOFT...WITH 850 MB READINGS CLIMBING TO AROUND -4C
IN THE WEST AND TO THE -8C/-10C RANGE ACROSS THE NORTH COUNTRY BY
THE END OF THE NIGHT. AS A RESULT...ANY LINGERING LAKE EFFECT SNOW
SHOWERS SOUTHEAST OF THE LAKES AT THE START OF THE NIGHT WILL
STEADILY LIFT NORTH WHILE CONTINUING TO WEAKEN OVER TIME...WITH
ENOUGH WARMING ALOFT TAKING PLACE TO RESULT IN JUST SOME LEFTOVER
FLURRIES REACHING THE NIAGARA FRONTIER OVERNIGHT. EAST OF LAKE
ONTARIO...THE COLDER LINGERING AIRMASS SHOULD ALLOW FOR SOME BONA
FIDE SNOW SHOWERS TO PERSIST THROUGH THE NIGHT...FOR WHICH CHANCE
POPS WILL REMAIN IN PLAY.

ON MONDAY...THE AFOREMENTIONED SURFACE LOW WILL SLIDE EAST INTO
QUEBEC PROVINCE...WITH ITS ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT APPROACHING THE
LOWER LAKES BY LATE IN THE DAY. IN ADVANCE OF THE LOW...SOME
SCATTERED LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS MAY MANAGE TO HANG ON EAST OF
LAKE ONTARIO GIVEN CONTINUED MARGINALLY COLD TEMPS ALOFT...WHILE THE
REST OF THE AREA SHOULD REMAIN DRY INTO THE EARLY TO MID AFTERNOON
HOURS. AFTER THAT TIME...BOTH SYNOPTIC-SCALE MOISTURE AND
LARGE-SCALE LIFT WILL BE ON THE INCREASE BOTH IN ADVANCE OF THE COLD
FRONT AND IN ASSOCIATION WITH MID AND UPPER LEVEL JET STREAK...WHICH
COULD LEAD TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF SOME MORE GENERAL LIGHT SNOW
SHOWERS BY THE END OF THE DAY.

MONDAY NIGHT...THE SURFACE LOW WILL SLIDE EAST INTO THE CANADIAN
MARITIMES...WHILE SWINGING ITS COLD FRONT SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS NEW
YORK STATE. THIS WILL LEAD TO A CONTINUED CHANCE OF SYNOPTIC-SCALE
SNOW SHOWERS AREAWIDE...WHICH MAY BECOME BRIEFLY ENHANCED FOR A TIME
DOWNWIND OF THE LAKES. THIS SAID...THE LACK OF SUFFICIENTLY DEEP
MOISTURE AND THE PRESENCE OF A FAIR AMOUNT OF SPEED SHEAR IS LIKELY
TO PREVENT THE DEVELOPMENT OF SIGNIFICANTLY ORGANIZED LAKE EFFECT
BANDS...WITH ANY AREAS OF LAKE ENHANCEMENT ALSO LIKELY TO BE RAPIDLY
SHIFTING FROM NORTH TO SOUTH GIVEN WHAT SHOULD BE A RATHER QUICK
VEERING OF THE LOW LEVEL FLOW ALONG AND BEHIND THE COLD FRONT.

IN TERMS OF TEMPERATURES...EXPECT READINGS TO CONTINUE TO AVERAGE
NEAR TO SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL THROUGH THIS PERIOD...WITH THE WARMEST
TEMPERATURES /LOW-MID 30S/ EXPECTED TO OCCUR ON MONDAY IN THE WARM
ADVECTION REGIME AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING LOW/COLD FRONT.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
IN THE EXTENDED...THE MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE REMAINS IN GENERAL
AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THE OVERALL SYNOPTIC PATTERN...WHICH WILL
FEATURE PERSISTENT UPPER-LEVEL TROUGHING ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES AND
NORTHEAST AS A POLAR VORTEX MIGRATES ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN CANADA.
MEANWHILE AT THE SURFACE...HIGH PRESSURE LOOKS TO BRIEFLY BUILD
ACROSS THE REGION ON TUESDAY BEHIND MONDAY NIGHT/S COLD FRONT...
BEFORE ANOTHER CLIPPER-LIKE SYSTEM DEVELOPS ACROSS THE UPPER GREAT
LAKES AND SLIDES SOUTHEAST ACROSS OUR REGION SOMETIME BETWEEN
WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT. AFTER BEING IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT
ON THE TIMING OF THIS FEATURE OVER THE PAST 24 HOURS...THE 00Z
GUIDANCE SUITE HAS DIVERGED A BIT ON ITS TIMING...WITH THE 00Z
ECMWF/GEM GLOBAL NOW FAVORING A FASTER WEDNESDAY PASSAGE...WHILE THE
00Z GFS REMAINS CONSISTENT ON A SOMEWHAT SLOWER PASSAGE WEDNESDAY
NIGHT. BEHIND THIS FEATURE...A MUCH COLDER ARCTIC AIRMASS WILL SURGE
SOUTHEAST INTO THE REGION FOR THE LATTER PORTIONS OF THE WEEK...WITH
TEMPERATURES FALLING FROM SOMEWHAT BELOW NORMAL LEVELS INITIALLY TO
WELL BELOW NORMAL BY THURSDAY AND FRIDAY OF NEXT WEEK.

WITH RESPECT TO PRECIPITATION CHANCES...THE ONLY REAL OPPORTUNITY
FOR WIDESPREAD SNOW SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL COME WITH THE PASSAGE OF
THE WEAK CLIPPER AND ARCTIC FRONT...FOR WHICH CHANCE POPS WILL
REMAIN IN PLAY. THIS SAID...TEMPS ALOFT WILL EASILY REMAIN COLD
ENOUGH TO SUPPORT A LAKE RESPONSE RIGHT THROUGH THE PERIOD...SO
SOME CHANCE POPS WILL ALSO REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGHOUT IN FAVORED
AREAS DOWNWIND OF THE LAKES. MOST OF THE TIME...THESE FAVORED
REGIONS WILL BE SOUTHEAST OR EVEN SOUTH OF THE LAKES GIVEN THE
PREVAILING NORTHWESTERLY TO NORTHERLY LOW LEVEL FLOW...EXCEPT
DURING THE MIDWEEK PERIOD WHEN A BACKING OF THE FLOW AHEAD OF THE
ARCTIC FRONT MAY RESULT IN ANY LAKE EFFECT SHIFTING TO LOCATIONS
EAST/NORTHEAST OF THE LAKES. AT THIS TIME...MOISTURE STILL LOOKS
TO GENERALLY REMAIN TOO LIMITED FOR SIGNIFICANT LAKE SNOWS DURING
THE PERIOD...HOWEVER THIS POTENTIAL WILL NEED TO BE CLOSELY
WATCHED GIVEN AN ENVIRONMENT THAT OTHERWISE APPEARS TO BE
FAVORABLE FOR LAKE EFFECT SNOW.

&&

.AVIATION /09Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
LOW PRESSURE LIFTING NORTHEAST OUT OF THE OHIO VALLEY THIS MORNING
WILL SPREAD STEADY SNOW ACROSS ALL OF WESTERN AND NORTH CENTRAL NEW
YORK. WHILE MVFR CONDITIONS WILL PRECEDE THIS SNOW FOR MOST OF THE
TAF SITES...CONDITIONS WILL DETERIORATE TO IFR DURING THE COURSE OF
TODAY. FOR THE FAR WESTERN COUNTIES...THIS WILL TAKE PLACE SHORTLY
AFTER DAYBREAK...WHILE THE IFR CONDITIONS MAY HOLD OFF TIL MID
AFTERNOON FOR SITES EAST OF LK ONTARIO.

THE SNOW WILL GRADUALLY TAPER OFF FROM WEST TO EAST DURING THE FIRST
HALF OF TONIGHT...WITH IFR CONDITIONS IMPROVING TO MVFR. THE
EXCEPTION WILL BE SOUTHEAST OF BOTH LAKES (IE. KJHW) WHERE LAKE
EFFECT SNOWS WILL BECOME ESTABLISHED AND THUS HOLD CIGS/VSBYS AT IFR
LEVELS.

OUTLOOK...
SUNDAY...MVFR WITH SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS MAINLY SOUTHEAST OF THE
LAKES.
MONDAY AND TUESDAY...VFR/MVFR WITH CHANCE OF A FEW SNOW SHOWERS.
WEDNESDAY...AREAS OF MVFR/IFR WITH A CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS AND LAKE
EFFECT SNOW EAST OF THE LAKES.

&&

.MARINE...
LOW PRESSURE LIFTING OUT OF THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY THIS MORNING WILL
WEAKEN OVER WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA DURING THE COURSE OF THE DAY WHILE
A COASTAL STORM WILL STRENGTHEN OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST. THIS
WILL FRESHEN A NORTHEAST FLOW ACROSS THE LOWER GREAT LAKES AND
PROMOTE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS ON THE WEST END OF LAKE
ONTARIO WHERE THE FETCH WILL BE GREATEST. WINDS AND WAVES FOR THE
REMAINING NEW YORK NEARSHORES SHOULD REMAIN BELOW SCA CRITERIA
THROUGH THIS EVENING.

LATER TONIGHT...A TIGHTENING SFC PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN A DEEP
COASTAL STORM OFF NEW ENGLAND AND BUILDING HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE
OHIO VALLEY WILL BE FOUND OVER THE LOWER LAKES. THE CORRESPONDING
NORTHWEST FLOW WILL PRODUCE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS LATE
TONIGHT AND SUNDAY FOR ALL OF THE NEARSHORE WATERS...BUT IT IS A BIT
EARLY TO RAISE THOSE FLAGS SO WILL ALLOW THE DAYSHIFT TO RE-EXAMINE
AND ISSUE LATER TODAY.
