AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
149 PM EST THU JAN 26 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER THE SAINT LAWRENCE VALLEY WILL BUILD EAST
ACROSS NEW ENGLAND TODAY AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM LIFTS FROM THE
LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY TO WEST VIRGINIA. THE LOW WILL SPREAD RAIN
NORTH ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA WITH AREAS OF FREEZING RAIN FOR PARTS
OF THE NORTH COUNTRY. THE SYSTEM WILL PASS JUST TO THE SOUTH OF THE
FORECAST AREA TONIGHT AND TOWARD NEW ENGLAND FRIDAY. SOME SNOW IS
EXPECTED BEHIND THE STORM ON FRIDAY. WINTERY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED
THIS WEEKEND INCLUDING SOME LAKE EFFECT SNOW.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
AS OF 1045 AM...LIGHT RAIN SPREADING NORTHWARD FROM THE WARM FRONT
ACROSS PENNSYLVANIA WITH A RACE BETWEEN RISING TEMPERATURES AND THE
ONSET OF PRECIPITATION. HAVE NOT SEEN ANY REPORTS OF FREEZING RAIN
OVER NORTHERN PA OR SOUTHERN NY BUT MIGHT SEE BRIEF AND SPOTTY
FREEZING PRECIP BEFORE TEMPS RISE WELL ABOVE THE FREEZING MARK BY
NOONTIME. HAVE MADE SOME SLIGHT ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SURFACE TEMPS AND
MAINTAINED THE ADVISORY FOR JEFFERSON AND LEWIS COUNTIES FOR THE
RISK OF FREEZING PRECIP LATE IN THE DAY AND THROUGH THE NIGHT.
LITTLE ELSE HAS CHANGED AND THE PREVIOUS DISCUSSION REMAINS VALID
AND FOLLOWS...

THE WEATHER FOCUS FOR THE NEAR TERM IS ON A SURFACE LOW THAT HAS
FORMED ACROSS THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY. THIS HAS FORMED
JUST TO THE EAST OF A UPPER LEVEL CUT OFF LOW OVER EAST TEXAS. ALL
MODELS SHOW THE SURFACE LOW LIFTING NORTHEAST THROUGH TODAY TOWARD WEST
VIRGINIA AS PHASING OCCURS BETWEEN NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN STREAMS
OPENING THE UPPER LEVEL LOW INTO A FULL LATITUDE TROUGH.

WARM ADVECTION WILL OCCUR AHEAD OF THE LOW WITH SOUTHERLY SURFACE
WINDS WARMING TEMPERATURE THROUGH THE DAY. RAIN FALL IS EXPECTED TO
MOVE BEGIN SPREADING ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA FROM SOUTH TO NORTH
THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON. TEMPS ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA WILL BE INTO
THE MID TO UPPER 30S AT THE ONSET OF PRECIPITATION SO RAINFALL IS
EXPECTED FOR MOST. HEAVIEST RAINFALL WILL OCCUR BETWEEN 00-06Z WHERE
MODELS SHOW BEST MOISTURE TRANSPORT AND SURFACE CONVERGENCE
OCCURRING. RAINFALL QPF WILL RANGE FROM A TENTH TO A QUARTER INCH
ACROSS NIAGARA FRONTIER TO NEAR THREE-QUARTERS OF AN INCH ACROSS
CENTRAL NY.

THERE IS A CONCERN FOR FREEZING RAIN ACROSS JEFFERSON AND LEWIS
COUNTIES THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT WITH SURFACE TEMPS IN SHELTERED
AREAS EXPECTED TO REMAIN NEAR FREEZING. PARTS OF THE TUG HILL OF
LEWIS COUNTY AND ALONG THE ST. LAWRENCE RIVER IN JEFFERSON COUNTY
HAVE THE BEST CHANCES FOR PICKING UP ICE FROM A COATING TO UPWARDS
OF A QUARTER OF AN INCH. A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED
TO COVER FOR THIS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
DURING THE COURSE OF FRIDAY...LOW PRESSURE OVER THE FINGER
LAKES/CENTRAL NEW YORK WILL LIFT NORTHEAST TO THE MAINE COAST...
WHILE SURFACE-BASED RIDGING AND DRIER AIR QUICKLY BUILDS EAST FROM
THE OHIO VALLEY AND UPPER GREAT LAKES. AS A RESULT...FAIRLY STEADY
WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION AT THE START OF THE DAY WILL QUICKLY TAPER
OFF FROM WEST TO EAST WITH TIME...THOUGH PROBABLY NOT QUITE AS FAST
AS EARLIER PROJECTED. FOR THE TIMING OF THIS...HAVE ELECTED TO LEAN
MORE HEAVILY ON A BLEND OF THE SLOWER AND MORE CONSISTENT
GFS/ECMWF/GEM SOLUTIONS...RATHER THAN THE NAM WHICH APPEARS TO BE
TOO FAR EAST AND TOO MUCH OF A FAST OUTLIER. IN THE GRIDS...THIS
WILL BE REFLECTED BY A BLEND OF LIKELY TO CATEGORICAL POPS TO START
THE DAY...TAPERING OFF TO CHANCE AND THEN BELOW DURING THE COURSE OF
THE AFTERNOON.

WITH REGARD TO TEMPS AND POTENTIAL PTYPES...850 MB TEMPS START OFF
FRIDAY RANGING FROM ROUGHLY 0C IN THE WEST TO +6C/+8C ACROSS THE
NORTH COUNTRY...THEN STEADILY DROP OFF TO THE -5/-6C RANGE DURING
THE COURSE OF THE DAY. MEANWHILE...BOUNDARY LAYER TEMPS LOOK TO
REMAIN EITHER MARGINAL FOR RAIN/WET SNOW OR WARM ENOUGH FOR A
CONTINUATION OF JUST PLAIN RAIN AS THE PRECIP TAPERS OFF. AT THIS
POINT...THE BEST CHANCES FOR SOME WET SNOW APPEAR TO BE ACROSS FAR
WESTERN NEW YORK IN THE MORNING AS WELL AS ACROSS THE NORMALLY
COLDER PORTIONS OF THE NORTH COUNTRY...THOUGH IN EITHER CASE AMOUNTS
LOOK TO BE MINOR AND GENERALLY ON THE ORDER OF AN INCH OR LESS.

THE AFOREMENTIONED LOW LEVEL RIDGE WILL THEN CREST ACROSS THE AREA
FRIDAY NIGHT...ALLOWING FOR A MAINLY DRY NIGHT BEFORE A DECENT
PACIFIC-BASED SHORTWAVE TROUGH SLIDES EAST ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES
REGION ON SATURDAY. AT THE SURFACE...AN ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW WILL
TRACK EAST ACROSS SOUTHERN ONTARIO/QUEBEC AND SLIDE ITS ASSOCIATED
WEAK COLD FRONT ACROSS OUR AREA. AT THIS POINT...EXPECT THIS FEATURE
TO PRODUCE A QUICK SHOT OF SCATTERED LIGHT PRECIPITATION AS IT MOVES
THROUGH...WITH SURFACE TEMPS AND MODEL PROFILES LIKELY WARM ENOUGH
TO SUPPORT A RAIN/SNOW MIX FOR PTYPE.

DURING SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY...A PAIR OF SHORTWAVES WILL DROP
SOUTHEAST FROM THE NORTHERN PLAINS AND WESTERN ONTARIO PROVINCE
ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES...EVENTUALLY CARVING OUT A DEEP LONGWAVE
TROUGH ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES AND NORTHEAST. AT THE SURFACE...THIS
WILL BE REFLECTED BY A WEAK SURFACE TROUGH DEVELOPING TO OUR WEST
SATURDAY NIGHT...THEN PIVOTING EAST ACROSS THE AREA DURING THE
COURSE OF SUNDAY.

IN ADVANCE OF THIS TROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT...AN INITIAL SOUTHWESTERLY
FLOW OF -10C AIR AT 850 MB MAY BE JUST ENOUGH TO GENERATE SOME WEAK
LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS NORTHEAST OF LAKE ONTARIO...WHILE THE
REMAINDER OF THE AREA LIKELY REMAINS LARGELY DRY UNDER THE INFLUENCE
OF WEAK SURFACE-BASED RIDGING AND WEAK TO MODEST WARM AIR ADVECTION
ALOFT. THEN ON SUNDAY...THE AFOREMENTIONED WEAK SURFACE TROUGH
SHOULD THEN GENERATE ANOTHER ROUND OF SCATTERED SYNOPTIC SNOW
SHOWERS AS IT PASSES THROUGH...WITH LAKE EFFECT SNOWS THEN
DEVELOPING EAST OF THE LAKES SUNDAY AFTERNOON AS A WESTERLY FLOW OF
-12C AIR AT 850 MB SETS UP ACROSS LAKES ERIE AND ONTARIO.
INITIALLY...THESE COULD SET UP ACROSS BUFFALO/WATERTOWN AREAS FOR A
BRIEF PERIOD BEFORE SHIFTING SOUTH AS THE WINDS VEER...HOWEVER THE
BEST OPPORTUNITY FOR ACCUMULATING LAKE SNOWS CURRENTLY APPEARS TO BE
A BIT FURTHER TO THE SOUTH SUNDAY AFTERNOON...AND ESPECIALLY SUNDAY
EVENING AS A FAIRLY STEADY-STATE WESTERLY FLOW OF -12C TO -16C AIR
CONTINUES ACROSS THE LOWER LAKES. LATER ON SUNDAY NIGHT...THE
INTENSITY OF THE LAKE SNOWS WILL LIKELY DROP OFF AS SURFACE-BASED
RIDGING AND SUBSIDENCE/DRIER AIR RIDGES NORTHEAST FROM THE OHIO
VALLEY.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
ON MONDAY...THE CENTER OF THE SURFACE HIGH WILL PUSH EAST TO THE
CAROLINAS...WITH ITS NOSE RIDGING NORTH ACROSS WESTERN AND CENTRAL
NEW YORK. MEANWHILE...THE ASSOCIATED 850 MB RIDGE WILL ALSO BUILD
EASTWARD...AND EVENTUALLY CREST OVER THE LOWER LAKES MONDAY EVENING.
CONTINUED SUBSIDENCE AND DRYING ASSOCIATED WITH THE BUILDING RIDGING
WILL CONTINUE TO WEAKEN THE LAKE SNOWS DURING THE COURSE OF
MONDAY...WITH THE ACTIVITY LIKELY LIFTING NORTH TO THE BUFFALO AND
WATERTOWN AREAS AS THE LOW LEVEL FLOW BECOMES MORE SOUTHWESTERLY
AGAIN. ELSEWHERE...GENERALLY DRY WEATHER CAN BE EXPECTED.
TEMPERATURE-WISE...MONDAY WILL LIKELY BE THE COLDEST DAY OF THE NEXT
WEEK AS THE CORE OF THE COLDEST AIR MAKES ITS WAY ACROSS THE
REGION...WITH DAYTIME HIGHS GENERALLY RANGING FROM 25 TO 30 F...OR
ONLY SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL.

AS A LOW AMPLITUDE PACIFIC FLOW BECOMES RE-ESTABLISHED NATIONWIDE
MONDAY NIGHT...A WARM ADVECTIVE PATTERN WILL ONCE AGAIN TAKE HOLD OF
OUR REGION FOR TUESDAY. THIS WILL MAKE THE DAY NOTICEABLY MILDER
ALTHOUGH THE WARMER AIR RIDGING UP OVER THE COLDER LOW LEVEL AIR WILL
HELP TO KEEP A FAIR AMOUNT OF CLOUD COVER IN PLACE.

FINALLY...FOR WEDNESDAY BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF ARE SUGGESTING THAT A
LOW WILL MAKE ITS WAY UP ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES REGION. THIS WILL
LEAD TO SOME RAIN SHOWERS...POSSIBLY MIXING WITH A LITTLE WET SNOW
AT THE ONSET.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS EARLY FOR MOST TAF SITES...EXCEPT AT ART WHERE
LOWER CIGS WILL LINGER THROUGH THE MORNING. CHANGES COME IN THE FORM
OF LOWERING CIGS AND VIS WITH THE ARRIVAL OF RAIN THIS AFTERNOON
FROM SW TO NE. PRECIP COULD START OUT AS A BRIEF PERIOD OF SNOW AT
ART THEN CHANGE TO RAIN. INITIALLY MVFR CONDITIONS...BUT EXPECTED TO
LOWER TO IFR BY EARLY EVENING. USED LAMP GUIDANCE FOR CIGS/VIS AND
GFS FOR PRECIP TIMING. WINDS WILL BE EASTERLY AHEAD OF THE STORM
SYSTEM THEN EXPECTED TO SHIFT TO SW AS THE LOW PASSES SOUTH AND EAST
OF THE FORECAST AREA.

OUTLOOK...
FRIDAY...BECOMING MAINLY VFR...WITH SCATTERED RAIN AND SNOW
SHOWERS ENDING FROM WEST TO EAST.
SATURDAY...MAINLY VFR.
SUNDAY AND MONDAY...MVFR WITH A CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS.

&&

.MARINE...
GENERALLY QUIET MARINE CONDITIONS EXPECTED FOR TODAY AS HIGH
PRESSURE SLOWLY DRIFTS INTO NEW ENGLAND. SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL
INCREASE SOME TONIGHT AHEAD OF A STORM SYSTEM APPROACHING FROM THE
SOUTH. THE SYSTEM WILL PASS SOUTH OF THE LAKES TONIGHT AND FRIDAY
LIFTING INTO NEW ENGLAND. WINDS ON FRIDAY WILL BECOME WEST TO
NORTHWEST BEHIND THE STORM INCREASING TO THE RANGE OF 20 TO 30 KTS.
THAT WILL BRING SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS FRIDAY INTO THE WEEKEND.
