AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
424 AM EST TUE FEB 19 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE OVER MICHIGAN WILL LIFT NORTH INTO SOUTHERN ONTARIO AND
DRAG A STRONG COLD FRONT EAST ACROSS OUR AREA TODAY. WARMER AIR
AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL BRING A MIX OF PRECIPITATION THIS
MORNING...BEFORE COLDER AND WINDY CONDITIONS RETURN THIS AFTERNOON
AND TONIGHT...ALONG WITH SOME LAKE EFFECT SNOWS DOWNWIND OF THE
LAKES. LAKE EFFECT SNOW AND WINDY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE INTO
WEDNESDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
THE LATEST SURFACE MAP SHOWS LOW PRESSURE CENTERED OVER NORTHERN
MICHIGAN WITH THE TRAILING COLD FRONT EXTENDING SOUTH TO
LOUISIANA. AS THE LOW CONTINUES TO LIFT SLOWLY TO THE
NORTHEAST...THE FRONT WILL CROSS WESTERN NEW YORK THIS
MORNING...THEN PUSH THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE CWA DURING THE
EARLY TO MID AFTERNOON HOURS. A POTENT LOW LEVEL JET SURGING AHEAD
OF THE FRONT IS ENHANCING LARGE SCALE LIFT AND IS GENERATING A
FAIRLY SOLID AREA OF RAIN AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT.

CLOSER TO HOME...AREA RADARS SHOW THE LEADING EDGE OF LIGHT RAIN
SPREADING EAST ACROSS LAKE ERIE. TEMPERATURES ACROSS MOST OF WESTERN
NEW YORK ARE ABOVE FREEZING...BUT THE INTERIOR SECTIONS ARE STILL
HOVERING AROUND FREEZING. AS THE RAIN WORKS INTO THE DRY AIR IN
PLACE OVER NEW YORK STATE EARLY THIS MORNING...EVAPORATIONAL COOLING
WILL LIKELY CAUSE TEMPERATURES TO DROP A COUPLE OF DEGREES. AS A
RESULT...THERE WILL STILL BE A RISK FOR FREEZING RAIN ACROSS PARTS
OF CATTARAUGUS AND ALLEGANY COUNTIES WHERE TEMPERATURES WILL STAY AT
OR SLIGHTLY BELOW FREEZING THE LONGEST. WILL HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE ON
TEMPERATURES ACROSS WYOMING COUNTY AS WELL...BUT FOR NOW THE WINTER
WEATHER ADVISORY REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR JUST CHAUTAUQUA AND ALLEGANY
COUNTIES.

FARTHER TO THE EAST...TEMPERATURES ARE RANGING THROUGH THE 20S EAST
OF LAKE ONTARIO. IT STILL LOOKS LIKE THE PCPN WILL NOT REACH THIS
AREA UNTIL AFTER DAYBREAK. WHEN THE PCPN DOES ARRIVE....SURFACE
TEMPERATURES WILL HAVE HAD A CHANCE TO WARM ABOVE FREEZING ACROSS
MOST OF THE AREA. THEREFORE...ANY OPPORTUNITY FOR FREEZING RAIN
LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE BRIEF...BUT WILL HAVE TO KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON
TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE NORTH COUNTRY IN CASE THE RAIN ARRIVES
SOONER THAN EXPECTED. THERE IS A CHANCE THAT WITH THE ONSET OF
EVAPORATIONAL COOLING...THE BOUNDARY LAYER TEMPERATURE MAY COOL
ENOUGH TO SUPPORT MORE OF A MIX OF SNOW AND SLEET ACROSS THE HIGHER
ELEVATIONS EAST OF THE LAKE.

THE MODELS AGREE THAT THE STEADIEST PCPN WILL FALL AHEAD OF THE COLD
FRONT...THEN TAPER OFF FROM WEST TO EAST AS A DRY SLOT WORKS IN
BEHIND THE FRONT. AS COLDER AIR ADVECTS ACROSS THE AREA...ANY
REMAINING PCPN WILL CHANGE OVER TO LIGHT SNOW...BUT LITTLE OR NO
SNOW ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED WEST OF THE NORTH COUNTRY SINCE THE
DEEPER MOISTURE WILL HAVE DEPARTED BY THE TIME THE COLDER AIR
ARRIVES. ACROSS THE NORTH COUNTRY THERE MAY BE ENOUGH SYNOPTIC SCALE
MOISTURE IN PLACE AS THE BOUNDARY LAYER COOLS THIS AFTERNOON. THIS
COULD RESULT IN A COUPLE INCHES OF SNOW ACROSS THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS
EAST OF THE LAKE. A SIMILAR TREND IS POSSIBLE ACROSS THE HIGHER
ELEVATIONS EAST OF LAKE ERIE WHERE THE TRANSITION TO SNOW WILL
LIKELY TAKE PLACE WHILE THE COLD FRONT IS CROSSING WESTERN NEW YORK
THIS MORNING. ACROSS THE GENESEE VALLEY AND FINGER LAKES...THE
BOUNDARY LAYER MAY REMAIN WARM ENOUGH FOR PTYPE TO REMAIN LARGELY IN
THE FORM OF RAIN THROUGH THE MAJORITY OF THE DAY.

THE OTHER MAIN ISSUE FROM THIS SYSTEM WILL BE WIND...BEGINNING FIRST
ACROSS THE TYPICALLY FAVORED DOWNSLOPE FLOW REGIONS ALONG THE
CHAUTAUQUA AND SOUTHERN ERIE COUNTY LAKESHORES EARLY THIS MORNING.
...THEN DOWNWIND OF LAKE ERIE THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT AS A GOOD
WEST-SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW OF PROGRESSIVELY COLDER AIR SETS UP BEHIND
THE DEPARTING FRONT. DURING THESE TWO TIME FRAMES...925MB WINDS WILL
RANGE BETWEEN 40 TO 50 KNOTS. AS A RESULT A WIND ADVISORY REMAINS IN
EFFECT FOR THE AREAS AND TIMES LISTED BELOW. IT LOOKS LIKE THE
STRONGEST WIND GUSTS WILL IMPACT THE AREA BETWEEN 18Z TODAY THROUGH
06Z TONIGHT.

LATER THIS AFTERNOON...THE COMBINATION OF COLD AIR ADVECTION AND
INCREASING WRAPAROUND MOISTURE BEHIND THE DEPARTING LOW SHOULD CAUSE
SNOW SHOWERS TO BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD ACROSS WESTERN NEW YORK...BUT
IT STILL LOOKS LIKE THE AIRMASS WILL REMAIN TOO WARM FOR ANY
NOTEWORTHY LAKE EFFECT UNTIL TUESDAY EVENING.

TONIGHT...A COMBINATION OF SYNOPTIC SCALE AND LAKE INFLUENCES WILL
IMPACT THE CWA. ON THE SYNOPTIC SCALE...A CYCLONIC FLOW OF MOIST AIR
WILL DEEPEN ACROSS THE AREA AS THE UPPER LEVEL LOW CLOSES OFF JUST
TO OUR NORTH. THIS WILL KEEP AT LEAST SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS IN
PLACE ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA.

IN TERMS OF LAKE EFFECT...A SOUTHWEST FLOW OF PROGRESSIVELY COLDER
AIR WILL CAUSE SNOW TO PICK UP NORTHEAST OF BOTH LAKES. EAST OF LAKE
ONTARIO...GREATER LAKE INSTABILITY (EQUILIBRIUM LEVELS FORECAST TO
RISE TO ABOUT 9K FEET) WILL RESULT IN HIGHER
ACCUMULATIONS...ESPECIALLY OVER JEFFERSON AND LEWIS COUNTIES.

EAST OF LAKE ERIE...THE PRESENCE OF MORE FAR MORE WIDESPREAD ICE
COVER MAKES DETERMINING SNOWFALL MORE CHALLENGING. WE WILL STILL
HAVE AN INFLUENCE FROM THE WESTERLY UPSLOPE FLOW...BUT THE FEELING
RIGHT NOW IS THAT ACCUMULATIONS WILL GENERALLY REMAIN UNDER ADVISORY
LEVELS.

THE COMBINATION OF SNOW AND STRONG WINDS WILL ALSO RESULT IN BLOWING
SNOW WITHIN THE AREAS OF STEADIER LAKE EFFECT SNOW TONIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
LOW PRESSURE FORECAST TO BE JUST NORTH OF LAKE HURON WILL FORCE AN
OCCLUDED BOUNDARY EASTWARD INTO NEW ENGLAND TUESDAY EVENING. BEHIND
THIS...WILL BE COLDER AIR ALOFT...AND A STRONG SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW.
THIS WILL RESULT IN SOME LAKE EFFECT SNOW TUESDAY NIGHT AND
WEDNESDAY...AND GUSTY WINDS. AN UPPER LEVEL TROF WILL CROSS THE
REGION WEDNESDAY...WHICH WILL BRING GENERAL SNOW SHOWERS WITH ITS
PASSAGE. DRIER AIR WILL BUILD BEHIND THIS...DIMINISHING LAKE SNOWS
WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

LAKE EFFECT OFF LAKE ERIE...
A WELL ALIGNED SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL SET UP TUESDAY EVENING...BUT
THIS FLOW WILL QUICKLY SHIFT TO THE WSW...AND EVENTUALLY TO THE WEST
ON WEDNESDAY. IF IT WERE NOVEMBER...THIS WOULD BE AN EXCELLENT SET
UP FOR LAKE SNOW OFF LAKE ERIE...BUT MID-FEBRUARY BRINGS SOME
COMPLICATING ISSUES. THE PRIMARY IS THE PARTIAL ICE COVER ON LAKE
ERIE...WHICH IS CURRENTLY ACROSS CENTRAL AND WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE
LAKE...BUT COULD MOVE TO THE EAST AS SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS DEVELOP.
ALSO...INSTABILITY ON THE OPEN WATERS WILL BE MODEST...STARTING AT
200 J/KG AND INCREASING TO 400 J/KG THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING. FLOW
WILL ALSO BE ON THE STRONG SIDE...WHICH WILL LIMIT RESIDENCE TIME ON
THE ALREADY PARTIALLY FROZEN LAKE. BECAUSE OF THESE LIMITING
FACTORS...EXPECT SNOW TOTALS TO BE IN THE ADVISORY OR LESS CATEGORY.
A BAND WILL DEVELOP ACROSS BUFFALO METRO TUESDAY EVENING...QUICKLY
SHIFTING TO THE BOSTON HILLS OVERNIGHT...AND TO THE WESTERN SOUTHERN
TIER BY WEDNESDAY. AN UPPER LEVEL TROF WILL CROSS WEDNESDAY
MORNING...WHICH WILL INITIALLY ENHANCE SNOW...BUT WILL ALSO BRING
DRIER AIR BEHIND IT WHICH WILL CAUSE LAKE EFFECT TO WEAKEN LATE
WEDNESDAY. WHILE ITS STILL EARLY TO PIN DOWN SNOW
AMOUNTS...PRELIMINARY STORM TOTALS LOOK TO BE A FEW INCHES IN
BUFFALO METRO...AND 3 TO 5 INCHES IN THE FAR SOUTH TOWNS...BOSTON
HILLS...AND CHAUTAUQUA RIDGE. LAKE SNOWS SHOULD PUSH FURTHER INLAND
THAN USUAL DUE TO THE STRONG FLOW.

LAKE EFFECT OFF LAKE ONTARIO...
CONDITIONS APPEAR FAVORABLE FOR SIGNIFICANT LAKE SNOW EVENT EAST OF
LAKE ONTARIO...WITH 24 HOUR TOTALS OF GREATER THAN 9 INCHES
POSSIBLE. THE BEST CHANCE FOR THIS APPEARS TO BE ON THE TUG
HILL...WHERE LAKE INDUCED CAPES ARE FORECAST TO INCREASE TO 500
J/KG. UNLIKE LAKE ERIE...LAKE ONTARIO IS OPEN...WITH WATER
TEMPERATURES STILL RUNNING 1-2C. INITIALLY...A SW FLOW WILL SNOW TO
DEVELOP NEAR WATERTOWN TUESDAY NIGHT...BUT THIS WILL SHIFT SOUTH AND
FOCUS ON THE TUG HILL LATE TUESDAY NIGHT AND MUCH OF THE DAY
WEDNESDAY. EVENTUALLY THE UPPER TROF WILL DISRUPT THE BAND AND PUSH
IT SOUTH LATE WEDNESDAY...BUT GIVEN THE GREATER INSTABILITY...LONG
FETCH DOWN THE LAKE...AND UPSLOPING OF THE TUG HILL...HAVE AMPLE
CONFIDENCE TO ISSUE A WATCH AT THIS TIME.

WINDS TUESDAY NIGHT...
A WELL ALIGNED SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW SHOULD ALLOW 925 MB WINDS TO MIX
TO THE SURFACE FAIRLY READILY TUESDAY NIGHT. THIS FLOW WILL BE
STRONGEST IN THE TYPICAL LOCATIONS PRONE TO SW WINDS...NORTH OF I-90
FROM THE NY/PA LINE TO BUFFALO...TO ROCHESTER. 12Z NAM/GFS FORECASTS
HAVE THESE WINDS AT 40 TO 45 KNOTS...WHICH SHOULD SERVE AS A GOOD
PEAK GUST POTENTIAL.

OTHER FORECAST FACTORS...
MODEL GUIDANCE IS FAIRLY CLOSELY CLUSTERED WITH LATEST RUNS OF THE
NAM/GFS/RGEM/GGEM/UKMET/EURO ALL CLOSE IN TERMS OF THE MAJOR
SYNOPTIC FEATURES. ONE AREA OF DISAGREEMENT IS HOW COLD ALOFT IT
WILL BE ON WEDNESDAY...WITH THE NAM/SREF/EURO SIGNIFICANTLY COLDER
THAN THE GFS/GGEM. TOOK A CONSENSUS...WITH FORECAST HIGHS AVERAGING
IN THE LOWER 20S ON WEDNESDAY. OUTSIDE OF LAKE EFFECT THE BEST
CHANCE FOR SNOW SHOWERS WILL BE WITH TH UPPER TROF...WHICH IS
FORECAST TO PASS WEDNESDAY. THIS SHOULD TAP INTO LAKE MOISTURE...AND
GIVEN THE UPPER DYNAMICS...SNOW SQUALLS ARE A POSSIBILITY.

OTHERWISE...EXPECT LAKE EFFECT TO LINGER WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND INTO
THURSDAY...HOWEVER WITH DRY AIR UPSTREAM EXPECT ADDITIONAL
ACCUMULATION TO BE ON THE LIGHT SIDE. WARMER AIR ALOFT WILL WRAP
AROUND THE LOW ON THURSDAY...WHICH WILL CUT-OFF THE LAKE INSTABILITY
AND ANY LINGERING SNOW SHOWERS. THE NAM/SREF/EURO CONTINUE TO BE
MUCH COLDER THAN THE GFS/GGEM DURING THE TIME PERIOD...WITH THE
FORECAST CONTINUING TO REPRESENT A CONSENSUS AMONG AVAILABLE
TEMPERATURE GUIDANCE.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
ON THURSDAY NIGHT...A NARROW HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE IS FORECAST TO
BUILD ACROSS THE REGION...WITH FAIR WEATHER AND CHILLY OVERNIGHT
TEMPERATURES. AFTER THIS A WEAK AREA OF LOW PRESSURE THE MID-WESTERN
STATES WILL PUSH A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY TOWARD THE REGION...BUT
THIS BOUNDARY WILL ESSENTIALLY WASH OUT OR STALL ACROSS THE REGION
ON FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL BRING A MINIMAL CHANCE FOR
LIGHT SNOW...PROBABLY OF LITTLE CONSEQUENCE.

AFTER THIS...FORECAST CONFIDENCE DIMINISHES AS MODEL SOLUTIONS FROM
THE 12Z GFS/GGEM/EUROPEAN DIVERGE. THERE IS AGREEMENT THERE WILL BE
A CLOSED 500 MB LOW NEAR MINNESOTA...BUT MODELS DISAGREE ON THE
TIMING AND POSITION OF A VORT MAX WHICH WILL TRACK SOUTH OF THIS
UPPER LOW. ITS THIS SHORTWAVE THAT EVENTUALLY WILL LEAD TO A MOIST
BUT RELATIVELY WEAK COASTAL LOW IN THE SATURDAY NIGHT TIMEFRAME.
MOISTURE FROM THIS LOW MIGHT MAKE IT BACK INTO OUR REGION...WITH THE
EUROPEAN DRY AND THE GFS/GGEM WET TO SOME EXTENT IN THE SATURDAY
NIGHT INTO SUNDAY TIMEFRAME. P-TYPE WILL ALSO BE AN ISSUE...WITH
FORECAST TEMPERATURES ALOFT MARGINALLY COLD ENOUGH FOR SNOW.

WHAT EVER DOES DEVELOP SHOULD TRACK TO THE EAST ON SUNDAY...LEAVING
WESTERN NEW YORK DRY FOR THE LATTER HALF OF THE WEEKEND. BOTH THE
GFS/EUROPEAN BUILD HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE REGION INTO
MONDAY...WITH A VERTICALLY STACKED LOW ACROSS THE NATIONS
MID-SECTION.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE SEASONABLE THROUGH THE LONG TERM PERIOD...NOT
TOO STRAYING TOO MUCH ABOVE OR BELOW NORMAL FOR LATE FEBRUARY.

&&

.AVIATION /10Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH AT LEAST 06Z...
WITH MID AND HIGH CLOUDS INCREASING FROM WEST TO EAST IN ADVANCE OF
THE NEXT STORM SYSTEM. THESE CLOUDS WILL THEN LOWER TO LOWER END VFR
BY 12Z TUESDAY. BEGINNING LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY TUESDAY...A MIXED
BAG OF PRECIP WILL SPREAD EAST ACROSS THE REGION IN ADVANCE OF AN
APPROACHING COLD FRONT. INITIALLY...WARM AIR ALOFT PRECEDING THE
FRONT WILL SUPPORT MAINLY RAIN WITH AREAS OF SNOW/SLEET/FREEZING
RAIN ACROSS INTERIOR SECTIONS OF THE SOUTHERN TIER AND NORTH
COUNTRY...BEFORE COOLING OF THE COLUMN RESULTS PTYPE TRANSITIONING
TO SNOW THROUGH THE COURSE OF THE DAY. THIS PROCESS WILL BEGIN
FIRST ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN...AND LAST ACROSS THE LOWER
ELEVATIONS OF THE GENESEE VALLEY AND FINGER LAKES.

TONIGHT AND TUESDAY MORNING...LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR WILL ALSO
BECOME A CONCERN AS A 40-50 KNOT LOW LEVEL JET SURGES INTO THE
REGION IN ADVANCE OF THE APPROACHING FRONT. FOR THIS REASON...A
MENTION OF LLWS HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE TAFS FOR THIS TIME FRAME.

OUTLOOK...
TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT...MVFR/IFR IN SCATTERED SNOW
SHOWERS AND AREAS OF LAKE EFFECT SNOW DOWNWIND OF THE LAKES.
THURSDAY...GRADUAL IMPROVEMENT TO VFR.
FRIDAY...MAINLY VFR WITH A CHANCE OF SNOW LATE.

&&

.MARINE...
SATELLITE IMAGERY NOW SHOWS THAT MUCH OF LAKE ERIE IS ICE COVERED...
WITH THE BULK OF ANY OPEN WATER NOW LARGELY CONFINED TO AREAS
BETWEEN LONG POINT AND THE CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY SHORELINE. THIS ICE
WILL LIKELY HAVE AN IMPACT ON WAVES OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS...
ESPECIALLY SINCE STRONG SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS WOULD TEND TO PUSH
ICE TOWARD EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE LAKE.

WITH THE ABOVE NOTED...FAIRLY DEEP LOW PRESSURE WILL LIFT NORTH OF
THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES TODAY...WHILE DRAGGING ITS ASSOCIATED COLD
FRONT EAST ACROSS THE THE LOWER LAKES. BEHIND THIS FRONT... WINDS
