AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
1151 PM EST THU DEC 19 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS LAKE ONTARIO TONIGHT...THEN STALL JUST SOUTH
OF THE LAKE ON FRIDAY. THE FRONT WILL BRINGS PERIODS OF RAIN LATER
TONIGHT AND FRIDAY...WITH A MIX OF PRECIPITATION MORE LIKELY ACROSS
THE NORTH COUNTRY. THE FRONT WILL REMAIN IN PLACE OVER NEW YORK
STATE THIS WEEKEND AND BRING A WINTRY MIX OF PRECIPITATION ACROSS
THE NORTH COUNTRY AND POSSIBLY THE SOUTH SHORE OF LAKE ONTARIO.
THERE WILL ALSO BE A POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINFALL AND FLOODING.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
RADAR IMAGERY LATE THIS EVENING SHOWING A BAND OF LIGHT RAIN
SPREADING OUT OF SOUTHERN ONTARIO AND INTO THE NIAGARA FRONTIER AS
FAR EAST AS NEAR ROCHESTER AT 0430Z. THIS RAIN WILL CONTINUE TO
SPREAD NORTH AND EAST ACROSS LAKE ONTARIO THROUGH THE NIGHT...
CLIPPING THE COUNTIES ALONG THE SOUTH SHORE. BOUNDARY LAYER TEMPS
AND TEMPS ALOFT WILL BE COOL ENOUGH ACROSS THE NORTH COUNTRY FOR
THIS TO FALL AS SNOW AT THE ONSET...WITH AN INCH OR SO BY DAYBREAK
ACROSS PORTIONS OF JEFFERSON AND LEWIS COUNTIES. FARTHER SOUTH...IT
SHOULD BE MAINLY DRY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN TIER AND SOUTHERN FINGER
LAKES AS THE STRONGER WARM ADVECTION AND ISENTROPIC ASCENT FOCUSES
FARTHER NORTH.

THE LATEST SURFACE MAP SHOWS A COLD FRONT FROM SOUTHERN ONTARIO AND
QUEBEC TRAILING SOUTHWEST ACROSS MICHIGAN AND CONTINUING SOUTH TO A
WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE OVER KANSAS. THIS COLD FRONT WILL DROP SLOWLY
SOUTH ACROSS LAKE ONTARIO AND NORTHERN NEW YORK STATE LATER TONIGHT
AND FRIDAY AS A BUBBLE OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS EAST ACROSS ONTARIO
AND QUEBEC. MEANWHILE...A LOW LEVEL JET LIFTING NORTH FROM THE
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WILL TRANSPORT INCREASING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
NORTH ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES INTO SOUTHERN ONTARIO/QUEBEC. AS THIS
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE INTERACTS WITH THE SOUTHWARD MOVING FRONT...PCPN
WILL SPREAD EAST ACROSS OUR AREA LATER TONIGHT. THE LATEST GUIDANCE
STILL SUGGESTS THAT THE STRONGEST FRONTOGENETIC FORCING WILL REMAIN
ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE FRONT. AS A RESULT...WILL MAINTAIN A SHARP
NORTH TO SOUTH GRADIENT IN POPS...WITH THE HIGHEST CHANCES ACROSS
LAKE ONTARIO INTO THE NORTH COUNTRY.

REGARDING PCPN TYPE...BOUNDARY LAYER TEMPERATURES TONIGHT SHOULD
STAY WARM ENOUGH FOR MAINLY RAIN SOUTH OF LAKE ONTARIO. ACROSS THE
NORTH COUNTRY...TEMPERATURES WILL BE COLD ENOUGH FOR SNOW WHICH MAY
MIX WITH SOME SLEET BEFORE DAYBREAK FRIDAY. SINCE THE STEADIEST PCPN
IS EXPECTED TO STAY NORTH OF OUR CWA...SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ACROSS THE
NORTH COUNTRY SHOULD STAY WELL BELOW ADVISORY LEVELS WITH 1-3 INCHES
POSSIBLE LATE TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING...WITH THE GREATEST
AMOUNTS ACROSS THE THOUSAND ISLANDS REGION.

THE MODELS AGREE THAT THE FRONT WILL STALL JUST SOUTH OF LAKE
ONTARIO ON FRIDAY...WHILE HIGH PRESSURE AND MUCH COLDER AIR
REMAIN IN PLACE OVER SOUTHERN QUEBEC. THIS SETUP WILL MAINTAIN A
SIGNIFICANT NORTH TO SOUTH TEMPERATURES GRADIENT ACROSS OUR AREA.
MOST LOCATIONS SOUTH OF THE FRONT WILL SEE TEMPERATURES WARMING INTO
THE 40S...WHILE AREAS ACROSS NORTHERN JEFFERSON AND LEWIS COUNTIES
WILL STRUGGLE TO WARM ABOVE FREEZING.

THE LIFT IN THE VICINITY OF THE FRONT WILL BE AUGMENTED BY THE
PRESENCE OF THE LOW LEVEL JET AND A WELL DEFINED UPPER LEVEL JET
THAT WILL BE TRACKING EAST ACROSS SOUTHERN QUEBEC. AS THESE SOURCES
OF LIFT INTERACT WITH ABUNDANT MOISTURE THAT ALREADY WILL BE IN
PLACE...PCPN WILL BECOME A BIT MORE STEADY...ALTHOUGH THE HIGHEST
PCPN TOTALS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN TO OUR NORTH IN THE VICINITY OF
THE BEST LOW-MID LEVEL FRONTOGENETIC FORCING. BASIN AVERAGE QPF ON
FRIDAY WILL RANGE FROM ABOUT 0.4 INCH ACROSS THE NORTH COUNTRY TO
LESS THAN ONE-QUARTER INCH SOUTH OF LAKE ONTARIO.

MODEL POINT SOUNDINGS SUGGEST THAT RAIN WILL BE THE PREDOMINANT PCPN
ACROSS MOST OF THE CWA...EXCEPT ACROSS THE NORTH COUNTRY WHERE A
WINTRY MIX IS MORE LIKELY. ACROSS JEFFERSON AND LEWIS COUNTIES...A
MIX OF SNOW AND SLEET MAY ACCUMULATE A COUPLE OF INCHES...BEFORE
A POSSIBLE CHANGEOVER TO SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN TAKES PLACE LATER
IN THE AFTERNOON. RAIN MAY ALSO MIX WITH SLEET LATE IN THE DAY
ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST SHORES OF LAKE ONTARIO AS THE NORTHEAST FLOW
TAPS INTO SOME OF THE COLDER AIR THAT LIES NORTH OF THE STALLED
FRONT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
A COMPLEX FORECASTING SCENARIO WILL BE UNDERWAY ACROSS WESTERN AND
NORTH CENTRAL NEW YORK AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND AS A STALLED OUT
FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL BE IN PLACE DIRECTLY OVER THE FORECAST AREA.
MODEL CONSENSUS IS BECOMING MORE ROBUST REGARDING THE EXACT LOCATION
OF THE BOUNDARY...PLACING IT ON A LINE RUNNING ROUGHLY ALONG THE
NIAGARA PENINSULA...ALONG THE LAKE ONTARIO SHORELINE...AND CUTTING
ACROSS SOUTHERN JEFFERSON AND CENTRAL LEWIS COUNTIES. TEMPERATURES
SOUTH OF THIS BOUNDARY ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN ABOVE FREEZING AS THEY
WILL BE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF WARM AND MOIST AIR ADVECTING UP
ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY AND INTO THE REGION. AREAS NORTH OF THIS
BOUNDARY WILL BE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF NORTH...NORTHEASTERLY FLOW
THAT WILL SERVE TO ADVECT SUB-FREEZING SURFACE AIR OUT OF CANADA.

WARM AND MOIST AIR RIDING OVER THE COLDER AIR ALONG THE FRONT WILL
GENERATE WIDESPREAD RAINFALL WITH THE HELP OF A SERIES OF WEAK LOW
PRESSURE WAVES FRIDAY NIGHT. TO THE NORTH OF THE FRONT WHERE SURFACE
TEMPERATURES WILL BE AT OR BELOW FREEZING WE ARE LOOKING AT THE
POTENTIAL FOR A SIGNIFICANT FREEZING RAIN EVENT. A WINTER STORM
WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR JEFFERSON AND LEWIS COUNTIES WHERE WE HAVE
THE HIGHEST CONFIDENCE FOR FREEZING RAIN AND ACCUMULATING ICE AS THEY
ARE CLOSEST TO THE SOURCE OF THE SUB-FREEZING AIR FLOWING DOWN THE
SAINT LAWRENCE VALLEY NORTH OF THE FRONT. IT IS WORTH NOTING THAT
THE THREAT FOR FREEZING RAIN ALSO EXISTS ALONG THE LAKE ONTARIO
SHORELINE COUNTIES...INCLUDING THE ROCHESTER METRO AREA...HOWEVER
THE CONFIDENCE IN THE POSITION OF THE FRONT AND POTENTIAL MODERATION
OF COLD ADVECTION OUT OF THE SAINT LAWRENCE VALLEY BY LAKE ONTARIO
IS LOW ENOUGH TO LEAVE THESE COUNTIES OUT OF A WATCH FOR NOW.

THERE MAY BE A FEW BREAKS IN THE PRECIPITATION LATE FRIDAY NIGHT
INTO SATURDAY MORNING BEHIND THE PASSAGE OF THE INITIAL FRONTAL
WAVE...HOWEVER PRECIPITATION WILL LIKELY PICK UP IN INTENSITY ONCE
AGAIN SATURDAY AFTERNOON AS LOW PRESSURE LIFTS OUT OF TEXAS INTO THE
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND WARM ADVECTION AHEAD OF THIS LOW SERVES TO
STRENGTHEN FRONTOGENESIS ACROSS OUR REGION. THE INCREASING RAINFALL
RATES COMBINED WITH SNOW MELTING OUT OF A SNOWPACK THAT CONTAINS
GREATER THAN 4 INCHES OF LIQUID WATER EQUIVALENT ACROSS PORTIONS OF
THE FORECAST AREAS HIGHER ELEVATIONS ALONG WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF
ICE JAMMING AND SNOW-BLOCKED DRAINS WILL CREATE THE POTENTIAL FOR
FLOODING ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA. EVEN THE NORTH COUNTRY
COUNTIES UNDER THE WINTER STORM WATCH COULD SEE THE THREAT FOR
FLOODING AS SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE COUNTIES MAY REMAIN ABOVE
FREEZING. RAIN...HEAVY AT TIMES WILL LIKELY CONTINUE INTO SUNDAY. IT
IS WORTH NOTING THAT BOTH NAEFS AND GEFS ENSEMBLE ANOMALIES VERSUS
CLIMATOLOGY WITH REGARDS TO PWAT ACROSS THE REGION ARE QUITE
LITERALLY OFF THE CHARTS...INDICATING THAT THE THREAT FOR
SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL TOTALS GREATER THAN TWO INCHES IS SIGNIFICANT.

THE AFOREMENTIONED LOW PRESSURE WAVE OVER THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY IS
PROGGED TO TRACK ALONG THE FRONT ACROSS THE LOWER GREAT LAKES SUNDAY. DRY
AIR WRAPPING IN BEHIND THIS SYSTEM SHOULD BRING AN END TO THE BULK
OF THE RAINFALL BY SUNDAY EVENING...HOWEVER WITH COLD AIR ADVECTING
IN ACROSS THE REGION BEHIND THE LOW...WE COULD SEE LAKE EFFECT SNOW
SHOWERS DEVELOPING SUNDAY NIGHT ON NORTHWESTERLY FLOW. AT THIS POINT
SIGNIFICANT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ARE NOT EXPECTED WITH THIS ACTIVITY
GIVEN THE NORTHWESTERLY ORIENTATION AND FACT THAT MID-LEVELS ARE
PROGGED TO DRY OUT RATHER QUICKLY BEHIND THE FRONT.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
THE FIRST COUPLE DAYS OF NEXT WEEK LEADING UPON TO THE CHRISTMAS
HOLIDAY LOOK TO FEATURE A MUCH QUIETER WEATHER PERIOD. TEMPERATURES WILL
FALL BACK TO BELOW NORMAL MONDAY AS A COLD UPPER LEVEL TROUGH
APPROACHES THE REGION. SCATTERED LAKE EFFECT SHOWERS WILL LINGER
INTO TUESDAY BEFORE GIVING WAY TO HIGH PRESSURE EXPECTED TO TRANSIT
THE LOWER GREAT LAKES TUESDAY NIGHT. SOUTHERLY FLOW AND TEMPERATURES
MODERATING TOWARDS NORMAL RETURN ON CHRISTMAS DAY AS THE HIGH MOVES
TO OUR EAST...THOUGH CONDITIONS SHOULD REMAIN DRY.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AN INITIAL BAND OF LIGHT SHOWERS FROM KBUF-KIAG-KROC WILL LIFT
NORTHEAST OVERNIGHT AND SHOULD END IN THESE AREAS FOR A FEW HOURS.
THE PRECIPITATION WILL SPREAD INTO THE NORTH COUNTRY IN THE FORM OF
LIGHT SNOW LATER TONIGHT BEFORE WARM AIR BEGINS TO CHANGE THIS TO
RAIN NEAR KART FRIDAY MORNING. VSBY WILL BE MVFR OR EVEN IFR AT
TIMES WITHIN THE LIGHT RAIN AND LIGHT SNOW. MVFR CIGS WILL BEGIN TO
OVERSPREAD THE AREA...ESPECIALLY WHERE RAIN AND WET SNOW DEVELOP AND
ALSO ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF THE SOUTHERN TIER.

ON FRIDAY PERIODS OF RAIN WILL INCREASE AGAIN FROM WEST TO EAST
ACROSS THE AREA WITH VSBY DOWN TO AT LEAST MVFR AT TIMES. CIGS WILL
CONTINUE TO DETERIORATE THROUGH MVFR DURING THE MORNING WITH IFR
BECOMING MORE WIDESPREAD IN THE AFTERNOON AS THE LOW LEVELS
SATURATE. IFR CIGS SHOULD BE MOST WIDESPREAD ALONG AND NORTH OF A
WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY FROM NEAR KIAG TO KART...AND ALSO ACROSS THE
HIGHER TERRAIN OF THE SOUTHERN TIER.

PERIODS OF RAIN WILL TEND TO DIMINISH TO MORE INTERMITTENT LIGHT
SHOWERS FRIDAY NIGHT AS THE FIRST WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE MOVES BY.
CIGS WILL REMAIN LOW HOWEVER...WITH IFR EXPECTED TO BE WIDESPREAD.

ACROSS THE NORTH COUNTRY...FREEZING RAIN POTENTIAL WILL INCREASE
LATER FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS LOW LEVEL COLD AIR BEGINS TO
DRAIN INTO THE AREA ON NORTHEAST WINDS. THIS MAY SET THE STAGE FOR
NOTABLE ICE ACCUMULATION...INCLUDING KART.

OUTLOOK...
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...VFR/MVFR WITH PERIODS OF RAIN. FREEZING RAIN
ACROSS THE NORTH COUNTRY/SAINT LAWRENCE VALLEY. A CHANCE OF SOME
FREEZING RAIN ALONG THE SOUTH SHORE OF LAKE ONTARIO AS WELL.
MONDAY...MAINLY VFR WITH CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS. SOME MVFR/IFR
POSSIBLE EAST OF THE LAKES IN LAKE EFFECT SNOW.
TUESDAY...MAINLY VFR WITH A CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS SOUTHEAST OF THE
LAKES.

&&

.MARINE...
BRISK SOUTHWEST WINDS ON LAKE ERIE WILL SUBSIDE THIS EVENING AS THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT WEAKENS. MEANWHILE...A COLD FRONT LOCATED OVER
SOUTHERN QUEBEC WILL DROP SOUTH ACROSS LAKE ONTARIO TONIGHT...THEN
STALL JUST SOUTH OF THE LAKE ON FRIDAY. THIS FRONTAL MOVEMENT WILL
CAUSE WINDS TO SHIFT TO THE NORTHEAST ON LAKE ONTARIO ON
FRIDAY...WHILE SOUTHERLY WINDS PREVAIL ACROSS LAKE ERIE. CONDITIONS
MAY REACH SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CRITERIA ON LAKE ERIE FRIDAY
AFTERNOON.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
UTILIZING CURRENT NAEFS/GEFS GUIDANCE...THE GENERAL CONSENSUS QPF FOR
THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH THIS WEEKEND IS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF 1.5
TO 2 INCHES OF LIQUID. CURRENT MMEFS GUIDANCE FOR EACH ENSEMBLE
INDICATES THAT THIS AMOUNT OF PRECIPITATION WOULD PLACE SEVERAL
WATERSHEDS AT AN ELEVATED RISK OF REACHING FLOOD STAGE...
PARTICULARLY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN TIER AND NIAGARA FRONTIER.

EVEN IF THESE RAINFALL AMOUNTS VERIFY...THERE REMAINS A GREAT DEAL
OF UNCERTAINTY WITH RESPECT TO SNOWMELT AND RUNOFF. IF
TEMPERATURES AND DEWPOINTS REMAIN IN THE 30S...THE DEEP SNOWPACK
WILL TEND TO ABSORB AT LEAST SOME OF THE RAINFALL AND KEEP RUNOFF
MANAGEABLE. ON THE OTHER HAND...IF TEMPERATURES AND DEWPOINTS
SURGE INTO THE 40S...THE SNOWPACK WILL LET LOOSE WITH STRONG
RUNOFF. THIS COMBINED WITH THE RAINFALL WILL BRING AN EVEN GREATER
RISK OF FLOODING.

WORST CASE SCENARIO WOULD BE VERIFYING WITH THE HEAVIER RAINFALL
AMOUNTS AND WARMER TEMPERATURES SEEN IN SOME ENSEMBLE MEMBERS. IF
THIS OCCURS...FLOODING MAY BE SIGNIFICANT.

IN ADDITION TO POTENTIAL RIVER FLOODING...THIS AMOUNT OF RAINFALL
WILL BRING A RISK FOR MINOR LOCALIZED FLOODING IN LOW-LYING AND
POORLY DRAINED AREAS...PARTICULARLY AS RECENT SNOWFALL HAS LIKELY
RESULTED IN THE BLOCKAGE OF MANY STORM DRAINS ACROSS THE REGION.

&&

.EQUIPMENT...
THE KBUF RADAR IN BUFFALO IS BACK IN SERVICE FOLLOWING AN OUTAGE
