AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
848 PM EST THU JAN 17 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE CROSSING THE LOWER GREAT LAKES WILL BRING
SOME LIGHT SNOW TONIGHT ALONG WITH COLDER TEMPERATURES. EXPECT A
COLD AND GENERALLY DRY DAY FRIDAY WITH TEMPERATURES WARMING BACK
ABOVE NORMAL SATURDAY AS A WARM FRONT CROSSES THE REGION. STRONG
WINDS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE LOWER GREAT LAKES LATER THIS WEEKEND AS
A DEEP AREA OF LOW PRESSURE TRACKS NORTH OF THE REGION ACROSS
EASTERN CANADA AND A COLD FRONT SWEEPS ACROSS THE LAKES BRINGING A
RETURN TO SEASONABLY COLD WEATHER ALONG WITH LAKE EFFECT SNOW
SHOWERS FOR SUNDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
SNOW SHOWERS ARE CONTINUING TO SPREAD INTO WESTERN NEW YORK AND THE
GENESEE VALLEY THIS EVENING IN ASSOCIATION WITH A MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE
DROPPING ACROSS THE LOWER GREAT LAKES IN THE WAKE OF A DEPARTING
UPPER LEVEL JET STREAK OVER NEW ENGLAND. THE SHORTWAVE WILL TRACK
FAR ENOUGH SOUTH THAT THE BULK OF THE SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL BE
FOCUSED ACROSS WESTERN NEW YORK AND AREAS SOUTH OF LAKE
ONTARIO...LEAVING THE NORTH COUNTRY DRY FOR THE OVERNIGHT. A DEARTH
OF DEEP MOISTURE SHOULD TRANSLATE TO MODEST SNOWFALL TOTALS WITH
MOST AREAS RECEIVING A HALF INCH WITH UP TO AN INCH POSSIBLE ACROSS
THE HIGHER TERRAIN SOUTH OF LAKE ONTARIO AND EAST OF BUFFALO AS WELL
AS THE WESTERN SOUTHERN TIER.

ARCTIC AIR WILL CONTINUE TO SPILL INTO THE REGION FROM CANADA AS
TEMPERATURES DROP INTO THE TEENS ACROSS MOST AREAS OVERNIGHT. THE
NORTH COUNTRY/S CLOSER PROXIMITY TO THE DEEP SUB-ARCTIC AIRMASS OVER
EASTERN ONTARIO AND QUEBEC WILL RESULT IN MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES
WITH LOWS DROPPING TO AROUND ZERO. IF MID LEVEL CLOUDINESS
ASSOCIATED WITH THE SHORTWAVE CLEARS OUT EARLIER THAN
EXPECTED...TEMPERATURES COULD POTENTIALLY DROP EVEN LOWER...A
SCENARIO THAT WILL BE WATCHED CLOSELY. EVEN THOUGH WINDS WILL REMAIN
RELATIVELY LIGHT TONIGHT...THEY WILL STILL BE ENOUGH TO DRIVE WIND
CHILLS INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA WITH
VALUES DROPPING AS LOW AS 10 BELOW ZERO ACROSS THE NORTH COUNTRY.

EXPECT A DRY...ALBEIT CLOUDY DAY ON FRIDAY ACROSS MOST AREAS IN THE
WAKE OF THE SHORTWAVE AS HIGH PRESSURE SLIDES ACROSS THE LOWER GREAT
LAKES. LAKE EFFECT SHOWERS WILL LINGER EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO THROUGH
MUCH OF DAY...THOUGH AS WITH TONIGHT A LACK OF DEEP MOISTURE SHOULD
KEEP MOST AREAS LIMITED TO AN INCH OR LESS OF SNOW. THE COLD AIRMASS
IN PLACE WILL RESULT IN SEASONABLE CHILLY TEMPERATURES WITH HIGHS
TOPPING OUT IN THE LOW TO MID 20S WITH AREAS ADJACENT TO LAKE ERIE
CLIMBING TO AROUND 30. A TIGHTENING PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN HIGH
PRESSURE SLIDING EAST AND DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE OVER THE WESTERN
GREAT LAKES WILL RESULT IN INCREASING SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS BY FRIDAY
AFTERNOON THAT WILL KEEP WIND CHILLS LOCKED IN THE LOW TEENS AT BEST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
THIS PERIOD WILL BE HIGHLIGHTED BY AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF ADVISORY
CRITERIA WINDS AND A LARGE SWING IN TEMPERATURES AS ENERGY EJECTING
OUT OF AN ALASKAN CLOSED LOW WILL PLUNGE DOWN THE BACKSIDE OF A FULL
LATITUDE LONG WAVE TROUGH...EVENTUALLY SPINNING UP A DEEP STORM
NORTH OF THE GREAT LAKES. AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS
POWERFUL STORM SYSTEM WILL PLOW THROUGH OUR REGION EARLY SUNDAY
MORNING...AND THIS WILL OPEN THE DOOR FOR A CROSS POLAR FLOW TO
EXTEND FROM THE HIGH LATITUDES OF CANADA TO THE GREAT LAKES REGION.
NOW THAT THE STAGE IS SET...LETS DIG INTO THE DETAILS.

IT WILL BECOME WINDY OVER THE WESTERN COUNTIES FRIDAY NIGHT AS A
65KT LOW LEVEL JET WILL DEVELOP OVER THE MID WESTERN STATES AND PUSH
EAST ACROSS THE LOWER GREAT LAKES. THIS FEATURE WILL COME AS A
RESULT OF A TIGHTENING PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN A STRONG SHORTWAVE
DIGGING OUT OF THE CANADIAN PRAIRIES AND STRONG HIGH PRESSURE OVER
THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES. SINCE THIS WILL COME WITHIN A WARM
ADVECTIVE FLOW...THE STRONGEST WINDS WILL REMAIN ABOVE A SIGNIFICANT
5 DEG INVERSION. EVEN SO...WINDS ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN AND NEAR
THE LAKE ERIE SHORE COULD STILL GUST TO 40 MPH AFTER MIDNIGHT. WINDS
OF THIS MAGNITUDE WOULD REQUIRE AN ADVISORY. EVEN STRONGER WINDS
WILL BE POSSIBLE ON SATURDAY...BUT THAT/S GETTING AHEAD OF OURSELVES.

IN TERMS OF PCPN FRIDAY NIGHT...A WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL LIFT
NORTH OF THE FINGER LAKES REGION TO THE NORTH COUNTRY AND SAINT
LAWRENCE VALLEY. FRONTOGENETIC FORCING ASSOCIATED WITH THIS BOUNDARY
MAY PRODUCE SOME LIGHT SNOW FROM THE TUG HILL NORTH...BUT QPF WILL
LIMITED SO SNOWFALL AMOUNTS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO EXCEED AN INCH.
ELSEWHERE...SKIES WILL BE PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY WITH FRESHENING
WINDS.

THE VERY ROBUST SHORTWAVE WILL DIG SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE UPPER GREAT
LAKES ON SATURDAY...AND THIS WILL FURTHER TIGHTEN THE BOUNDARY LAYER
PRESSURE GRADIENT SO THAT THE LOW LEVEL (3-4K FT) JET CAN INTENSIFY
TO 65 TO 70 KNOTS. DURING THE COURSE OF THE DAY...DIURNAL MIXING
WILL HELP TO ERODE MUCH OF THE AFOREMENTIONED INVERSION AND THIS
WILL PROMOTE MORE OF THE STRONG...WELL ALIGNED BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS
TO REACH THE SFC. WIND GUSTS AS HIGH AS 50 MPH WILL BE POSSIBLE
ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN AND IN A CORRIDOR FROM LAKE ERIE TO
ROCHESTER. MEANWHILE...A WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVER THE THOUSAND
ISLANDS WILL GRADUALLY LIFT FURTHER NORTH SO THAT ONLY LOW CHC POPS
WILL REMAIN FOR THE NORTH COUNTRY.

THE DEEPENING SFC LOW OVER WESTERN QUEBEC WILL THEN PUSH AN ARCTIC
COLD FRONT ACROSS OUR REGION LATE SATURDAY NIGHT. WHILE THE STRONG
LOW LEVEL JET WILL LIFT OUT TO THE NORTHEAST DURING THE COURSE OF
THE NIGHT...THE FORCING WILL BE REPLACED BY A SIGNIFICANT PV
INTRUSION...AND FOR THE WESTERN COUNTIES...+5MB/3HR ISALLOBARIC
PRESSURE RISES. THIS SHOULD KEEP WIND GUSTS IN THE 45 TO 50 MPH
RANGE FROM LAKE ERIE AND THE NIAGARA FRONTIER TO SITES NORTH OF THE
TUG...WITH LESS IMPRESSIVE GUSTS ELSEWHERE. THE PASSAGE OF THE
ACTUAL FRONTAL BOUNDARY LATE SATURDAY NIGHT COULD BE ACCOMPANIED BY
A SHORT LIVED BURST OF SNOW.

RELATIVELY STRONG WINDS WILL THEN PERSIST IN THE WAKE OF THE ARCTIC
FRONT ON SUNDAY AS TEMPERATURES WILL STEADILY DROP THROUGH THE 20S
AND INTO THE TEENS. WINDS AVERAGING 20 TO 30 MPH WILL PRODUCE WIND
CHILL VALUES IN THE SINGLE DIGITS. IN TERMS OF PCPN...CHANNELED
VORTICITY ALOFT WILL COMBINE WITH SOME CONVERGENCE BROUGHT ABOUT BY
THE LOW LEVEL THERMAL TROUGH IN THE VCNTY OF THE LOWER GREAT LAKES
TO PRODUCE SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS. ONCE THE ARCTIC FRONT DROPS
THROUGH THE REGION...SNOWFALL AMOUNTS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO EXCEED AN
INCH.

IT WILL BE COLD SUNDAY NIGHT WITH SOME NUISANCE LAKE DRIVEN SNOW
SHOWERS. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL RANGE FROM THE TEENS ACROSS THE
MAJORITY OF WRN NY TO THE MINUS SINGLE DIGITS IN THE NORTH COUNTRY.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
TEMPERATURES WILL BE BELOW NORMAL THROUGH THIS PERIOD AS THE MOST
IMPRESSIVE LONG WAVE TROUGH IN THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE WILL BE
CENTERED OVER EASTERN CANADA. THE POLAR VORTEX ASSOCIATED WITH THIS
TROUGH WILL INITIALLY BE HELD IN CHECK BY A HYBRID BLOCK OVER
GREENLAND...BUT AS WE PROGRESS THROUGH THE WEEK...THE RIDGE WILL
EXTEND BACK ACROSS THE CANADIAN ARCTIC. THE WEAKNESS LEFT ON THE
EQUATORWARD SIDE OF THE EAST-WEST BLOCK WILL ENCOURAGE THE VORTEX TO
SHIFT OUT ACROSS THE ATLANTIC. THIS IN TURN WILL SHUT DOWN THE FLOW
OF AIR OUT OF THE ARCTIC AND ENCOURAGE A MODERATION IN TEMPERATURES
FOR OUR REGION LATE IN THE WEEK.

SPEAKING OF TEMPERATURES...NOT ONLY WILL THE COLDEST AIR IN THE
NORTHERN HEMISPHERE BE ON OUR SIDE OF THE POLE...BUT IT WILL BE
CENTERED JUST ONE PROVINCE TO OUR NORTH. A LARGE POOL OF -32 TO 36C
H925 AIR WILL RESIDE OVER QUEBEC DURING THIS TIME FRAME.
MEANWHILE...IT IS INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT THE NORMALLY FROZEN
TUNDRA CALLED BAFFIN ISLAND (AT 75N) WILL EXPERIENCE TEMPERATURES
NEAR THE FREEZING MARK. THIS UNIQUE FLIP IN THE TEMPERATURE FIELD AT
THESE HIGH LATITUDES CAN BE ATTRIBUTED TO THE SERIOUS BLOCKING BEING
OFFERED BY THE AFOREMENTIONED EAST-WEST RIDGE OVER GREENLAND AND
SCANDINAVIA.

FROM MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...THE BASE OF THE DEEP LONGWAVE TROUGH
WILL BE CENTERED OVER EASTERN CANADA WHILE WEAK THERMAL BASED
TROUGHING WILL BE FOUND OVER THE LOWER GREAT LAKES. CONVERGENCE IN
T HE VCNTY OF THIS BOUNDARY COUPLED WITH SUBTLE SHORTWAVES ROTATING
THROUGH THE BASE OF THE TROUGH WILL KEEP SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS OVER
THE FORECAST AREA. WHILE THERE WILL BE SOME LAKE ENHANCEMENT EAST
AND SOUTHEAST OF THE LAKES...THE LAKE OF A DEEP MOISTURE FIELD WILL
LIMIT ACCUMULATIONS. DAYTIME HIGHS WILL BE IN THE TEENS TO LOWER 20S
FOR MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY WHILE OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL RANGE FROM
THE MINUS SINGLE DIGITS ACROSS THE NORTH COUNTRY TO BETWEEN 10 AND
15 MOST ELSEWHERE.

FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY...THE TROUGH WILL SHIFT EAST AND
ALLOW RIDGING TO BUILD ACROSS THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND GREAT
LAKES REGION. THIS WILL LEAD TO SOME MODIFICATION IN OUR
TEMPERATURES AS READINGS WILL CLIMB BACK TOWARDS NORMAL LEVELS.

&&

.AVIATION /02Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
CONDITIONS HAVE LARGELY IMPROVED TO VFR ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA
THIS EVENING...HOWEVER REGIONAL RADAR IMAGERY SHOWS ANOTHER AREA OF
LIGHT SNOW PREPARING TO CROSS INTO THE NIAGARA FRONTIER AND WESTERN
SOUTHERN TIER ASSOCIATED WITH AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE DROPPING
ACROSS THE LOWER GREAT LAKES. EXPECT CIGS TO ONCE AGAIN DROP TO MVFR
AS THE SNOW MOVES INTO THE AREA THOUGH VSBYS SHOULD REMAIN BETTER
THAN 3SM AS THE SNOW SHOULD BE RELATIVELY LIGHT. EAST OF LAKE
ONTARIO...EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS TO HANG ON THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT AS
THE MAIN AREA OF LIFT ASSOCIATED WITH THE SHORTWAVE ALOFT WILL BE
FOCUSED ACROSS WESTERN NEW YORK AND THE SOUTHERN TIER.

EXPECT CONDITIONS TO IMPROVE TO VFR DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS
WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE SHORTWAVE WHILE WINDS WILL BACK TO THE WEST
AND THEN THE SOUTHWEST AND INCREASE THROUGH THE DAY ON FRIDAY AS THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS BETWEEN HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE EAST COAST
AND ANOTHER ALBERTA CLIPPER DROPPING INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS
STATES. THE DEVELOPING WESTERLY FLOW MAY BRING LAKE EFFECT CLOUDS
AND -SHSN TO KART DURING THE DAY FRIDAY.

OUTLOOK...
FRIDAY NIGHT...MAINLY VFR.
SATURDAY...MAINLY VFR WITH A CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS.
SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...MVFR AND IFR IN SNOW SHOWERS.
MONDAY...VFR/MVFR WITH A CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS.

&&

.MARINE...
NORTHERLY WINDS CONTINUE INTO THIS EVENING BUT ALL SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORIES HAVE ENDED WITH A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE SHIFTING ACROSS
THE LOWER GREAT LAKES. THIS WILL BRING A BRIEF RESPITE TO THE
WINDS/WAVES MUCH OF TONIGHT. WINDS WILL APPROACH SMALL CRAFT
CRITERIA ON LAKE ERIE LATE TONIGHT AND ACROSS LAKE ONTARIO ON FRIDAY
AS A WEAK SURFACE LOW SHIFTS EAST OVER THE LAKES AND HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDING EAST DEVELOPS A LIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT. GALE FORCE WINDS
AND HIGH WAVES WILL DEVELOP LATE OVER THE WEEKEND AS A STRONG LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM PASSES TO OUR WEST THEN NORTH.
