AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
647 PM EST TUE FEB 25 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
A DEEP UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF
NORTH AMERICA RIGHT THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEK. THIS WILL RESULT IN
A PROLONGED PERIOD OF BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES...ALONG WITH
CONTINUED LAKE EFFECT SNOWS DOWNWIND OF LAKE ONTARIO. OUTSIDE OF
THE LAKE SNOWS...PASSING DISTURBANCES WILL BRING PERIODS OF SNOW
SHOWERS THROUGHOUT THE WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS CONTINUE THIS EVENING NORTHEAST OF LAKE ERIE
FROM A COMBINATION OF FRICTIONAL CONVERGENCE AND SOME VERY LIMITED
LAKE MOISTURE FROM A FEW OPEN HOLES IN THE ICE. A MUCH MORE
IMPRESSIVE PLUME IS FOUND EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO...AND THIS HAS
INTENSIFIED OVER THE PAST HOUR OR SO WITH TWO INCH PER HOUR SNOWFALL
RATES NOW LIKELY. FORTUNATELY THE BAND IS MOVING FAIRLY RAPIDLY
NORTH AS BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS BECOME MORE SOUTHWEST...SO
ACCUMULATIONS WILL REMAIN IN ADVISORY RANGE THROUGH THE EVENING AS
THE BAND LIFTS NORTH TOWARDS KART BY LATE EVENING. EXPECT THE BAND
TO WEAKEN BY MIDNIGHT AS SHEAR INCREASES AHEAD OF THE CLIPPER AND
MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE.

THE ARCTIC COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE CLIPPER WILL REACH WESTERN
NY AROUND OR SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT...THEN MOVE EAST ACROSS THE REST
OF THE AREA THROUGH THE WEE HOURS OF THE MORNING. EXPECT A BRIEF 1-2
HOUR PERIOD OF SNOW SHOWERS AND PERHAPS A BRIEF SQUALL WITH THIS
FRONTAL PASSAGE...DROPPING A QUICK DUSTING TO AN INCH IN MOST
LOCATIONS AND 1-2 INCHES ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF THE BOSTON
HILLS AND CHAUTAUQUA RIDGE WITH SOME HELP FROM UPSLOPE FLOW JUST
BEHIND THE ARCTIC FRONT.

LAKE EFFECT SNOW EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO SHOULD RE-INTENSIFY LATE
TONIGHT AND LINK UP WITH THE ARCTIC BOUNDARY...WITH A BAND OF HEAVY
SNOW STARTING IN CENTRAL AND NORTHERN JEFFERSON COUNTY THEN
SPREADING QUICKLY SOUTH ACROSS THE TUG HILL REGION TO OSWEGO COUNTY
BY MORNING.

THE LAKE SNOW BAND ON LAKE ONTARIO WILL REGAIN ITS FOCUS AND
STRENGTH ON WEDNESDAY BEHIND THE ARCTIC FRONT...THUS WILL HAVE A
LAKE EFFECT SNOW WATCH FOR WEDNESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY EVENING.

TEMPS WILL CONTINUE TO RUN SEVERAL DEGREES BELOW NORMAL WITH LOW
TEMPS TONIGHT IN THE SINGLE NUMBERS...NEAR ZERO ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
TIER...AND HIGH TEMPS ON WEDNESDAY IN THE UPPER SINGLE NUMBERS TO
THE LOWER TEENS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
AN ORGANIZED LAKE SNOW BAND EAST LAKE ONTARIO SHOULD BE ONGOING AT
THE START OF THE PERIOD WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THE BEST POTENTIAL FOR
CONTINUED ACCUMULATING SNOW WILL BE THE FIRST HALF OF THE NIGHT.
STRONG SHORTWAVE AND ASSOCIATED ARCTIC FRONT WILL APPROACH THE AREA
THE SECOND HALF OF THE NIGHT THIS WILL SHIFT THE LOW LEVEL FLOW
QUICKLY BACK TO SOUTHWEST WHILE INCREASING SHEAR PROFILES. THIS WILL
BRING THE LAKE BAND NORTHWARD INTO THE WATERTOWN AREA...BUT
ACCUMULATING SNOWS SHOULD BE TRENDING DOWNWARD. LEADING EDGE OF SNOW
ASSOCIATED WITH THE ARCTIC FRONT WILL LIKELY START TO EDGE INTO
WESTERN NEW YORK BY MORNING. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL BE IN THE SINGLE
DIGITS...WITH BELOW ZERO READINGS ANTICIPATED FOR PORTIONS OF THE
NORTH COUNTRY AND WESTERN SOUTHERN TIER. WIND CHILL VALUES WILL
LIKELY DIP DOWN TO OR INTO ADVISORY CRITERIA IN MANY AREAS...SO
FLAGS MAY BE NEEDED FOR THIS RISK IN A LATER PACKAGE.

THE ARCTIC FRONT CRUISES ACROSS THE AREA THURSDAY. ONCE AREAS GET
BEHIND THE FRONT STRONG LOW LEVEL COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL SET
UP...LIKELY KEEPING TEMPERATURES STEADY OR EVEN SENDING THEM
DOWNWARD. INITIALLY... MOISTURE PROFILES LOOK TO THIN OUT AND THERE
WILL LIKELY BE A UNFAVORABLE SHEAR PROFILES. HOWEVER...LAKE
PARAMETERS BECOME MORE FAVORABLE LATE THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND
THURSDAY NIGHT AND EVEN INTO EARLY FRIDAY. LAKE SNOWS SHOULD BECOME
REINVIGORATED DURING THIS TIME FRAME WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR
SIGNIFICANT SNOWS EAST AND SOUTHEAST OF LAKE ONTARIO. OVERNIGHT LOWS
THURSDAY NIGHT WILL BE WITHIN A FEW DEGREES OF ZERO...WITH BELOW
ZERO READINGS ANTICIPATED FOR PORTIONS OF THE NORTH COUNTRY AND
WESTERN SOUTHERN TIER. WIND CHILL VALUES WILL LIKELY DIP DOWN TO OR
INTO ADVISORY CRITERIA IN MANY AREAS...MAY EVEN APPROACH WARNING IN
A FEW SPOTS.

ON FRIDAY...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS THE LOWER GREAT LAKES.
WHILE THE ASSOCIATED SUBSIDENCE SHOULD PROMOTE PARTLY SUNNY SKIES
FOR MOST AREAS...WITH WEAKENING LAKE SNOWS EXPECTED SOUTHEAST OF
LAKE ONTARIO. OTHERWISE IT WILL REMAIN BITTERLY COLD WITH MAX TEMPS
ONLY STRUGGLING TO WITHIN A FEW DEGREES OF 10. IT IS WORTH POINTING
OUT THAT DAYTIME TEMPS ON THIS LAST DAY OF FEBRUARY WILL BE VERY
CLOSE TO THE RECORD LOW MAX TEMP (11 BUF/12 ROC)...ESTABLISHED WAY
BACK IN 1875.

THE REPRIEVE IN THE SNOW SHOWERS MAY BE SHORT LIVED THOUGH. AS THE
SFC HIGH MOVES OFF THE EAST COAST FRIDAY NIGHT...AN INVERTED TROUGH
WILL EXTEND IN OUR DIRECTION FROM THE OHIO VALLEY. AS MOISTURE
INCREASES OUT AHEAD OF THIS FEATURE...LIFT PROVIDED BY SOME WEAK
WARM ADVECTION AND BY CONVERGENCE WITHIN THE SFC TROUGH COULD BE
ENOUGH TO GENERATE SOME LIGHT SNOW OVER PARTS OF THE REGION.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN BELOW NORMAL DURING THIS PERIOD...AS THE
DEEP UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL GENERALLY STAY IN PLACE OVER EASTERN
CANADA. UNLIKE THE DAYS LEADING UP TO THIS THOUGH...THE ANOMALOUSLY
STRONG RIDGE OUT WEST WILL BREAK DOWN. WHILE THIS WILL GRADUALLY
SHUT OFF THE CROSS POLAR...IT WILL ALSO OPEN THE DOOR FOR PACIFIC
SHORTWAVES IN THE SOUTHERN STREAM TO MAKE THEIR WAY ACROSS THE
COUNTRY. THIS IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE BECAUSE ALL OF THE MEDIUM RANGE
PACKAGES HAVE CHANGED THEIR SOLUTIONS FROM PREVIOUS RUNS...WHICH
WERE MUCH LESS THREATENING.

CURRENT MEDIUM RANGE MODELS ARE SUGGESTING THAT A RELATIVELY WEAK
FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL CROSS THE REGION WITH SOME LIGHT SNOW ON
SATURDAY...THEN A FAIRLY 'HEALTHY' SHORTWAVE WILL MAKE ITS WAY
ACROSS THE COUNTRY DURING THE COURSE OF THE WEEKEND. THIS FEATURE
WILL ENCOURAGE AN INVERTED TROUGH TO DEVELOP OVER THE OHIO
VALLEY...WHICH WILL THEN SERVE AS A PATHWAY FOR A WELL ORGANIZED SFC
LOW SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY. IF THIS SCENARIO WERE TO VERIFY...
WIDESPREAD SNOW WOULD LIFT ACROSS OUR REGION TO END THE FORECAST
PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AN AREA OF LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS NORTHEAST OF LAKE ERIE FROM NEAR
KBUF-KROC WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE SPOTTY MVFR/IFR VSBY THROUGH MID
TO LATE EVENING...ALTHOUGH THE ODDS OF THIS LASTING FOR ANY LENGTH
OF TIME AT THE TAF SITES ARE SMALL. A MORE IMPRESSIVE PLUME OF LAKE
EFFECT SNOW EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO WILL CONTINUE TO LIFT NORTH AND
PRODUCE LOCAL IFR...WHICH WILL CROSS KART FOR AN HOUR OR TWO LATE
THIS EVENING.

A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION AFTER MIDNIGHT WITH A BRIEF
PERIOD OF SNOW SHOWERS AND LOCAL IFR MOVING FROM WEST TO EAST. LAKE
EFFECT SNOW WILL ALSO RE-INTENSIFY EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO LATE TONIGHT
NEAR KART...THEN MOVE QUICKLY SOUTH TO OSWEGO COUNTY BY WEDNESDAY
MORNING WITH LOCAL IFR. THE LAKE SNOW WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
WEDNESDAY WITH LOCAL IFR EAST OF THE LAKE...ALTHOUGH THIS SHOULD
GENERALLY REMAIN WELL SOUTH OF KART AND NORTH OF KSYR.

OUTSIDE OF LAKE EFFECT AREAS EXPECT MAINLY VFR...WITH SPOTTY SNOW
SHOWERS PRODUCING BRIEF REDUCTIONS TO MVFR/IFR. CIGS WILL BE MVFR
MOST OF THE TIME...WITH SOME MVFR ACROSS HIGHER TERRAIN AND IN SNOW
SHOWERS WITH IFR CIGS POSSIBLE IN THE HEAVIER PLUMES OF LAKE EFFECT
SNOW.

OUTLOOK...
THURSDAY...VFR/MVFR WITH SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS... AND
LOCALIZED IFR IN LAKE EFFECT SNOW EAST/EAST-SOUTHEAST OF LAKE
ONTARIO.
FRIDAY...MAINLY VFR...WITH A CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS/MVFR EAST OF
LAKE ONTARIO.
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...VFR/MVFR WITH A CHANCE OF SNOW.

&&

.MARINE...
A GENERAL BRISK WESTERLY FLOW LOOKS TO PERSIST ACROSS THE LOWER
GREAT LAKES THROUGH MUCH OF THE WEEK AS A SERIES OF DISTURBANCES
PASSES ACROSS THE REGION...BEFORE FINALLY WEAKENING LATER IN THE
WEEK AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVERHEAD. THIS WILL MAINTAIN ADVISORY-
LEVEL CONDITIONS ON LAKE ONTARIO THROUGH AT LEAST WEDNESDAY
NIGHT...AND LIKELY BEYOND.

&&

.BUF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
NY...LAKE EFFECT SNOW ADVISORY UNTIL 5 PM EST WEDNESDAY FOR NYZ007.
     LAKE EFFECT SNOW ADVISORY UNTIL 9 PM EST THIS EVENING FOR
