AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
342 PM EDT FRI MAR 30 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE OVER INDIANA WILL SLIDE EAST ACROSS OHIO AND
PENNSYLVANIA. PRECIPITATION WILL OVERSPREAD THE REGION THIS EVENING
AND OVERNIGHT IN THE FORM OF RAIN AND WET SNOW. THE LOW WILL REACH
THE MID ATLANTIC COAST SATURDAY AFTERNOON ALLOWING A RIDGE OF HIGH
PRESSURE TO BUILD ACROSS THE REGION ON SUNDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
LOW PRESSURE OVER NORTHERN INDIANA WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS OHIO THIS
EVENING. PRECIPITATION ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM HAS ALREADY
REACHED WESTERN LAKE ERIE. ALTHOUGH AIRMASS IS QUITE DRY ACROSS THE
AREA IT SHOULD START TO FALL IN OUR CWA WITHIN THE NEXT SEVERAL
HOURS.

AT THIS POINT NO TSTMS HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE FORECAST THOUGH
WILL HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE ON THIS ACROSS THE EXTREME WESTERN SOUTHERN
TIER.

PRECIP WILL BEGIN AS ALL RAIN INITIALLY ACROSS THE AREA BUT EXPECT
THE RAIN TO MIX WITH/CHANGE TO WET SNOW IN A SWATH FROM THE NIAGARA
FRONTIER ACROSS THE FINGER LAKES TO THE TUG HILL. THE NORTHEAST FLOW
OFF THE WARMER WATERS OF LAKE ONTARIO WILL LIMIT SNOW AMOUNTS
GENERALLY BELOW THE ESCARPMENT FROM NIAGARA INTO MONROE COUNTIES.
HIGHEST AMOUNTS RIGHT NOW WILL BE FOCUSED ON THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS
OF STRETCHING FROM WYOMING THROUGH LIVINGSTON TO ONTARIO COUNTIES
WHERE TWO TO FOUR INCHES ARE POSSIBLE.

THERE STILL IS A GREAT DEAL OF UNCERTAINTY IN THE FORECAST AS ANY
DEVIATION IN THE TRACK COULD GREATLY ALTER THE SNOWFALL
AMOUNTS/LOCATIONS. IN ADDITION...THE MELTING OF FALLING SNOW COULD
CAUSE BOUNDARY LAYER TEMPERATURES TO COOL MORE AND RESULT IN PERIODS
OF MORE STEADY SNOW.

ON SATURDAY AS THE LOW CONTINUES TO MOVE TOWARDS THE COAST IT LOSES
ITS INFLUENCE ON THE REGION THOUGH LOW CLOUDS ARE EXPECTED TO LINGER
THROUGH THE MORNING CLEARING FROM THE NORTHWEST DURING THE AFTERNOON
HOURS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE REGION SATURDAY EVENING WILL PROVIDE A BRIEF
INTERVAL OF MAINLY DRY WEATHER TO START THE PERIOD...BEFORE YET
ANOTHER WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE SLIDES SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE REGION ON
SUNDAY...IN ASSOCIATION WITH A FAIRLY VIGOROUS SHORTWAVE TROUGH
SLIDING THROUGH THE PREVAILING NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT. THESE
FEATURES BOTH APPEAR TO HAVE ENOUGH ASSOCIATED LIFT AND MOISTURE TO
RESULT IN A LIKELIHOOD OF SOME PRECIP AS THEY PASS THROUGH...WITH
ALL GUIDANCE STILL SUGGESTING THAT THE BEST PRECIPITATION CHANCES
WILL STRETCH FROM PORTIONS OF THE NIAGARA FRONTIER NORTH AND EAST OF
KBUF...EASTWARD ACROSS THE FINGER LAKES AND NORTH COUNTRY.

THE ABOVE SAID...THE SHORT TERM GUIDANCE ALSO CONTINUES TO EXHIBIT
SIGNIFICANT TIMING DIFFERENCES WITH THIS WAVE...WITH THE FASTEST GFS
SOLUTION NOW BRINGING PRECIP INTO THE AREA AS EARLY AS SUNRISE ON
SUNDAY MORNING...THE GEM GLOBAL A FEW HOURS SLOWER...AND THE NAM ON
THE SLOW END OF THE SPECTRUM AT 6 OR SO HOURS SLOWER THAN THE GFS.
THE SPEED AT WHICH THE PRECIP ARRIVES WILL HAVE A BIG IMPACT ON THE
INITIAL PRECIP TYPE ACROSS OUR EASTERN ZONES...WITH A FASTER ARRIVAL
TIME ALA THE GFS FAVORING THE PRECIP STARTING AS A RAIN/SNOW SHOWER
MIX OR EVEN JUST SNOW SHOWERS GIVEN THE COLDER TEMPS THAT WILL BE IN
PLACE EARLY SUNDAY MINORING...BEFORE DIURNAL WARMING INDUCES A
CHANGEOVER TO ALL RAIN. IN CONTRAST...A SLOWER ARRIVAL TIME ALA THE
NAM WOULD FAVOR MORE IN THE WAY OF JUST PLAIN RAIN. AT THIS TIME
WILL ELECT TO ERR ON THE SIDE OF CAUTION AND FAVOR THE FASTER
GFS/GEM SOLUTIONS AS PER EXISTING CONTINUITY...BRINGING CHANCES OF
RAIN AND/OR SNOW SHOWERS INTO THE AREA EARLY SUNDAY MORNING...THEN
RAMPING POPS UP TO HIGH CHANCE/LIKELY BY EARLY AFTERNOON. AS ALL
MODEL SOUNDINGS AND MODEL PLAN VIEWS NOW SUGGEST ANY INSTABILITY
REMAINING TO THE SOUTHWEST OF OUR AREA...HAVE ALSO PULLED THE
MENTION OF THUNDER FROM THE FORECAST ACROSS WESTERN NEW YORK.

TEMPS ON SUNDAY REMAIN A BIT TRICKY GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTY STILL
SURROUNDING THE TIMING OF THIS SYSTEM...SO FOR NOW WILL AIM A BIT ON
THE CONSERVATIVE SIDE WITH HIGHS RANGING FROM THE MID 40S ACROSS THE
NORTH COUNTRY TO THE MID 50S ACROSS THE SOUTHERN TIER...WITH THE
CAVEAT THAT ACTUAL READINGS COULD BE EITHER A BIT HIGHER OR LOWER
DEPENDING UPON THE EXACT TRACK OF THE LOW...AND HOW QUICKLY ITS
PRECIP ARRIVES.

SUNDAY NIGHT SHOULD THEN FEATURE A FAIRLY QUICK END TO ANY SHOWER
ACTIVITY AS THE SHORTWAVE AND SURFACE LOW DROP TO OUR
SOUTHEAST...WITH COLD ADVECTION BEHIND THESE FEATURES SENDING TEMPS
BACK DOWN INTO THE 30S.

ON MONDAY...SURFACE BASED RIDGING OVER HUDSON BAY WILL NOSE
SOUTHWARD INTO THE LOWER LAKES REGION...WHILE RIDGING ALOFT BUILDS
EAST FROM THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. THIS WILL RESULT IN A DRY
DAY...ALONG WITH SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 40S
TO MID 50S. DRY AND QUIET WEATHER WILL THEN CONTINUE THROUGH MONDAY
NIGHT AS THE SURFACE RIDGE AXIS SLIDES EAST INTO NEW ENGLAND...AND
UPPER RIDGE BUILDS EAST INTO THE FORECAST AREA.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
THE NEXT SYSTEM OF INTEREST WILL ARRIVE ON TUESDAY AS UPPER LEVEL
TROUGHING OVER CENTRAL CANADA AND THE NORTHERN PLAINS DIGS
SOUTHEASTWARD INTO THE GREAT LAKES...WITH ITS ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW
SLIDING EAST INTO OUR AREA. WARM ADVECTION IN ADVANCE OF THE LOW
WILL BRING SOME FURTHER MODERATION IN TEMPS...THOUGH THE MEDIUM
RANGE GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO EXHIBIT DIFFERENCES WITH RESPECT TO
EXACTLY HOW STRONG THE SURFACE WAVE WILL BE...AND CONSEQUENTLY HOW
MUCH OF A SOUTHERLY RETURN FLOW AND RESULTANT WARMING WILL OCCUR.
FOR NOW...WILL JUST INDICATE A MODEST 5-10 DEGREE BUMP IN TEMPS FOR
TUESDAY...ALONG WITH THE CHANCE FOR SOME SHOWERS AS THE SURFACE LOW
PUSHES INTO THE AREA. SOUTH OF THE LOW TRACK...SOME THUNDER MAY ALSO
BE POSSIBLE.

ONCE THIS SYSTEM EXITS TO OUR EAST TUESDAY NIGHT...THE GUIDANCE IS
IN GOOD AGREEMENT THAT THE MAIN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL DIG FURTHER
INTO THE GREAT LAKES AND NORTHEAST ON WEDNESDAY...WITH ITS AXIS THEN
ONLY SLOWLY DRIFTING EAST TO THE ATLANTIC COAST BY THE END OF THE
WORK WEEK. MEANWHILE AT THE SURFACE...HIGH PRESSURE AND DRIER AIR
WILL SLOWLY BUILD SOUTHEAST FROM CENTRAL CANADA. UNDER THIS
LARGE-SCALE REGIME...OUR WEATHER WILL TURN COOLER AGAIN FOR THE
WEDNESDAY-FRIDAY PERIOD...AND EVENTUALLY DRIER AS WELL. IN FACT...BY
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHTS...WE COULD AGAIN BE LOOKING AT THE
POSSIBILITY OF FREEZING TEMPERATURES AT NIGHT...WHICH WOULD BE A
CONCERN FOR ANYONE WITH SENSITIVE VEGETATION THAT HAS BUDDED OUT
EARLY.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
MID AND HIGH CLOUDS IN ADVANCE OF THE NEXT SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO
OVERSPREAD THE AREA FROM WEST TO EAST DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON
AND EVENING HOURS. AN AREA OF SHWRS/TSTMS OVER WESTERN LAKE ERIE
WILL SLIDE EAST SOUTHEAST AND SHOULD STAY SOUTH OF THE REGION BUT
THIS WILL HAVE TO BE WATCHED CLOSELY. PRECIP IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN
AS ALL RAIN OVER THE REGION THEN WITH COOLING CHANGE TO A MIX OF
RAIN AND SNOW OR SNOW. CIGS/VSBYS WILL LOWER TO MVFR THIS EVENING
THEN IFR BY OVERNIGHT. AS THE LOW CONTINUES TO MOVE TOWARD THE COAST
PCPN WILL TAPER OFF AND CIGS IMPROVE TO MVFR SAT MRNG.

OUTLOOK...
SUNDAY...MVFR IN RAIN SHOWERS.
MONDAY...VFR.
TUESDAY...VFR/MVFR WITH CHC SHWRS.

&&

.MARINE...
LOW PRESSURE OVER INDIANA WILL SLIDE EAST ACROSS OHIO AND
PENNSYLVANIA. A BRISK NORTHEAST FLOW WILL DEVELOP SO SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORIES WILL BE ISSUED FOR THE NY NEARSHORES OF LAKE ERIE AND
NEARSHORES OF LAKE ONTARIO FROM THE NIAGARA RIVER TO HAMLIN BEACH
THROUGH SATURDAY AFTERNOON. AS THE LOW MOVES OFF THE MID ATLANTIC
COAST SATURDAY AFTERNOON WINDS AND WAVES WILL SUBSIDE BELOW SMALL
CRAFT CRITERIA FOR SATURDAY NIGHT.

&&

.EQUIPMENT...
THE BUFFALO WSR-88D IS STILL UNDERGOING CALIBRATION FOLLOWING THE
INSTALLATION OF THE DUAL-POLARIZATION UPGRADE. WHILE SOME RADAR IMAGES
MAY NOW BE PERIODICALLY AVAILABLE...A FULL RETURN TO SERVICE IS
STILL NOT EXPECTED UNTIL VERY LATE THIS AFTERNOON OR EARLY THIS
EVENING.

&&

.BUF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
NY...NONE.
MARINE...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY UNTIL 4 PM EDT SATURDAY FOR LEZ040-041.
