Area forecast discussion, Nov 24, 9:46 PM EST, 30 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
946 PM EST SUN NOV 24 2013
.SYNOPSIS...
SOME LAKE EFFECT SNOW WILL CONTINUE SOUTHEAST OF THE LAKES TONIGHT
BEFORE TAPERING OFF TO FLURRIES ON MONDAY. A WEAK FRONT MAY BRING A
FEW SNOW SHOWERS MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY. A DEVELOPING COASTAL LOW
WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED FOR THE POTENTIAL FOR ACCUMULATING SNOW
TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT WHICH MAY RESULT IN DIFFICULT
THANKSGIVING TRAVEL. THIS WILL BE FOLLOWED BY COLD TEMPERATURES FOR
THANKSGIVING WITH SNOW SHOWERS POSSIBLE SOUTHEAST OF THE LAKES.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
RADARS THIS EVENING CONTINUE TO SHOW WEAK LAKE EFFECT SNOW SOUTHEAST
OF BOTH LAKE ERIE AND ONTARIO. EXPECT ADDITIONAL LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS
EAST OF LAKE ERIE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE NIGHT...BUT ACROSS AREAS
SOUTH OF LAKE ONTARIO SEVERAL MORE INCHES OF SNOW COULD FALL
OVERNIGHT...WITH ADDED MOISTURE FROM AN UPSTREAM CONNECTION TO
GEORGIAN BAY. IR SATELLITE SHOWS LOW STRATO CU ERODING ACROSS
WESTERN END OF LAKE ERIE AS THE 850 HPA RIDGE AXIS DRAWS DRIER AIR
NORTHEASTWARD. THIS DRIER AIR SHOULD ERODE THE LAKE EFFECT SNOW
FURTHER LATER TONIGHT.
A LAKE EFFECT SNOW ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT SOUTHEAST OF LAKE ONTARIO.
THE BAND WILL MOST LIKELY FOCUS ACROSS FAR NORTHEASTERN PORTIONS OF
MONROE COUNTY...NORTHERN WAYNE/CAYUGA COUNTIES...AND FAR WESTERN
OSWEGO COUNTY. AN ADDITIONAL 2 TO 4 INCHES CAN BE EXPECTED IN THE
MOST PERSISTENT SNOW BANDS...ON TOP OF WHAT HAS ALREADY FALLEN THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
AS WINDS BECOME SW LATER TONIGHT THE BAND OF SNOW EAST OF LAKE ERIE
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN TIER WILL LIFT NORTHWARD AND BRIEFLY FOCUS ON
THE BOSTON HILLS AND THEN LATER TOWARD THE BUFFALO METRO AREA.
ALTHOUGH THIS BEARS WATCHING...EXPECT THAT THE SNOWBAND WILL WEAKEN
CONSIDERABLY BEFORE IT REACHES BUFFALO...BRINGING ONLY A DUSTING TO
AN INCH OF SNOW THROUGH DAYBREAK MONDAY.
OTHERWISE...IT WILL CONTINUE TO BE COLD WITH TEMPERATURES DROPPING
WELL INTO THE TEENS ACROSS THE REGION OVERNIGHT. THE COLDEST
TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE NORTH COUNTRY...WHERE MORE CLEAR SKIES
AND A FRESH SNOWPACK SHOULD ALLOW FOR LOWS INTO THE SINGLE
DIGITS...WITH BELOW ZERO TEMPERATURES A POSSIBILITY IN SOME OF THE
TYPICALLY COLDER VALLEYS.
LOW PRESSURE NORTH OF LAKE SUPERIOR WILL LIFT A WARM FRONT TO OUR
NORTHWEST ON MONDAY. THIS WILL SET UP A BRISK SSW FLOW ACROSS OUR
REGION ON MONDAY...WHICH WILL PUSH WHATEVER IS LEFT OF THE LAKE
EFFECT SNOW TO OUR NORTH. THERE SHOULD BE SOME SUNSHINE LATE MORNING
TO EARLY AFTERNOON...BUT MID-LEVEL CLOUDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL APPROACH LATE IN THE DAY. TEMPERATURES WILL BE
WARMER BUT STILL BELOW NORMAL...WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 20S TO LOWER
30S.
&&
.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
SURFACE LOW PRESSURE NEAR JAMES BAY WITH HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OFF
THE MID ATLANTIC COAST WILL SET UP A COLD CONVEYOR BETWEEN THE
PRESSURE CENTERS AND DIRECT SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS ACROSS LAKES ERIE
AND ONTARIO. THIS WILL BRING SOME LAKE SNOWS TO THE BUFFALO AND
WATERTOWN AREAS WITH AN INLAND SPREAD AS A WEAK UPPER LEVEL WAVE AND
ASSOCIATED MOISTURE PASSES THROUGH AFTER MIDNIGHT.
12Z MODEL RUNS OF GFS AND ECMWF COMING INTO VERY CLOSE AGREEMENT
WITH THE TRACK AND TIMING OF A SURFACE LOW MOVING NORTH BETWEEN THE
EASTERN SEABOARD AND THE SPINE OF THE APPALACHIANS. THE MOISTURE
ALONG LEADING EDGE OF THE SYSTEM WILL ENCOUNTER ENOUGH COLD AIR TO
START THE PRECIP AS SNOW ACROSS SOUTHERN AND WESTERN NY ON TUESDAY
AFTERNOON. THIS SNOW WILL EXPAND NORTHWARD AS THE SURFACE LOW
REACHES THE VIRGINIAS TUESDAY NIGHT. THIS LOW CENTER WILL THEN TRACK
ALONG THE MAJOR POPULATION CENTERS OF THE EASTERN U.S. LATE TUESDAY
NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON...THEN ONWARD TO THE GULF OF SAINT
LAWRENCE BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THIS TRACK WILL KEEP COLD AIR ACROSS
WESTERN AND NORTHERN NEW YORK...WITH THE RISK OF WARMER AIR ALOFT
SPREADING ACROSS CENTRAL AND EASTERN NEW YORK.
THE IMPACT OF WARMER AIR ALOFT WILL BE THE CHANGEOVER OF SNOW TO
RAIN WHILE STILL ALOFT...THEN FALLING AS RAIN INTO SUBFREEZING AIR
NEAR THE SURFACE...PRODUCING FREEZING RAIN OR SLEET. WE WILL KEEP A
CLOSE EYE ON THIS SITUATION SINCE THE THANKSGIVING TRAVEL TIMEFRAME
WILL BE SUBSTANTIALLY IMPACTED BY A STORM OF THIS MAGNITUDE.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE ON A DOWNWARD TREND TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY AS
COLD AIR IS DRAWN FROM THE NORTH AHEAD OF THE COASTAL LOW. HIGHS ON
TUESDAY WILL BE IN THE LOWER TO MID 30S...THEN FALL STEADILY THROUGH
THE 20S TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY...TO LOWS IN THE TEENS ON
WEDNESDAY NIGHT. WIND CHILLS ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT MAY DIP BELOW ZERO
WITH BLUSTERY NORTHWEST WINDS TRAILING THE WINTER STORM.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THE UPPER TROUGH ACROSS EASTERN CANADA WILL RETRACT SLIGHTLY TO THE
NORTH ON THURSDAY...ENOUGH TO ALLOW SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE
OHIO AND TENNESSEE VALLEYS TO BLOCK ANY APPRECIABLE WEATHER FROM OUR
AREA. WILL MAINTAIN THE DRY TREND THROUGH THE WEEKEND...POSSIBLY
SOME FLURRIES ON SATURDAY AS A WEAK WAVE ALOFT DROPS SOUTHEASTWARD
ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES.
HIGH TEMPERATURES FOR THURSDAY WILL STRUGGLE TO REACH EVEN THE MID
TO UPPER 20S UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF COLD ADVECTION. LOW TEMPS WED AND
THU NIGHTS WILL BE IN THE TEENS. THERE WILL BE A SLOW AND LIMITED
MODERATION IN HIGH TEMPS THROUGH THE WEEKEND WITH THE LOWER TO MID
30S ON SUNDAY.
&&
.AVIATION /03Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
THROUGH THIS EVENING...EXPECT A MIX OF VFR/MVFR CONDITIONS FROM
LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS AND CLOUDS. STEADIER SNOWS ARE POSSIBLE
AT KJHW AND KROC THROUGH MIDNIGHT. THIS WILL LIKELY LOWER CONDITIONS
TO MVFR...WITH PERIODS OF IFR OR LOWER POSSIBLE IN STEADIER SNOW
SHOWERS. OUTSIDE OF LAKE SNOWS AND CLOUDS...EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS
TONIGHT.
ON MONDAY...CIGS SHOULD LIFT WITH ALL AREAS VFR BY LATE MORNING AS
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST.
OUTLOOK...
MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY...VFR WITH A CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS AND
ASSOCIATED BRIEF MVFR/IFR.
TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY...IFR WITH SNOW LIKELY.
THURSDAY...MAINLY VFR EXCEPT FOR LOCAL MVFR/IFR IN SNOW SHOWERS
SOUTHEAST OF THE LAKES.
FRIDAY...VFR.
&&
.MARINE...
MODERATE NORTHWESTERLIES WILL DIMINISHING THIS EVENING AS A NARROW
RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS ACROSS THE LOWER LAKES BRIEFLY. A
STRONGER SOUTHWESTERLY GRADIENT WILL DEVELOP ON MONDAY AND CONTINUE
THROUGH TUESDAY WITH MORE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS. WINDS
WILL DIMINISH TUESDAY NIGHT AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT RELAXES ACROSS
THE LOWER LAKES.
&&
