AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
141 AM EST FRI NOV 21 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
SIGNIFICANT LAKE EFFECT SNOWS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THIS MORNING
BEFORE WEAKENING LATER THIS AFTERNOON AS HIGH PRESSURE PASSES BY TO
THE SOUTH OF OUR NEW YORK. MUCH WARMER AIR WILL ARRIVE OVER THE
WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK ALONG WITH RAIN SHOWERS AT
TIMES...POTENTIALLY BRINGING A FLOOD RISK TO AREAS WHICH WERE BURIED
BY LAKE EFFECT SNOW. TEMPERATURES WILL THEN TURN COLDER AGAIN FOR
THE SECOND HALF OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
THERE IS LIGHT AT THE END OF THE LAKE EFFECT TUNNEL ONCE WE GET
THROUGH THE NEXT 18 HOURS OR SO.

OFF LAKE ERIE...THE DOMINANT PLUME OF LAKE SNOW FROM THE AFTERNOON
HAS SINCE SETTLED TO THE SOUTH ACROSS THE WESTERN SOUTHERN TIER AND
IS NOW IN THE PROCESS OF BECOMING MULTIPLE BAND IN NATURE. UPSTREAM
RADARS SHOW THAT WINDS HAVE ALREADY VEERED TO THE NORTHWEST OVER
LOWER MICHIGAN...AND THIS CHANGE WILL BE NOTED ACROSS LAKE ERIE
WITHIN THE NEXT FEW HOURS.

WHILE THE OVERNIGHT LAKE EFFECT WILL BE MULTI-BAND IN NATURE...THE
ACTIVITY WILL HAVE AN UPSTREAM CONNECTION TO LAKE SUPERIOR...AND
UNLIKE THE PLUME OF SNOW FROM THE DAYTIME...THIS ACTIVITY WILL HAVE
SOME OROGRAPHIC LIFT FROM THE CHAUTAUQUA RIDGE TO HELP IT ALONG AS
WELL. SNOW SPOTTER REPORTS FROM THE JAMESTOWN AREA DESCRIBE NEAR
BLIZZARD CONDITIONS AT TIMES WITH SNOWFALL RATES OF 1 TO 3 INCHES AN
HOUR...SO THE LAKE EFFECT WILL CERTAINLY CONTINUE TO POUND THE
REGION. SNOWFALL AMOUNTS OVER PARTS OF CHAUTAUQUA AND CATTARAUGUS
COUNTIES WILL REACH TWO FEET OVERNIGHT. MEANWHILE...THE SNOW HAS
TAPERED OFF TO LIGHTER SNOW SHOWERS OVER MUCH OF WYOMING AND
SOUTHERN ERIE COUNTIES. HAVE THUS DISCONTINUED THE LAKE EFFECT SNOW
WARNINGS FOR THOSE AREAS...AS WE AS THE LES BASED FLAGS OVER THE
FINGER LAKES REGION.

ON FRIDAY...THE NORTHWEST FLOW/UPSLOPE REGIME WILL CONTINUE. THE
HEAVIEST SNOW SHOULD BE IN THE MORNING...BY AFTERNOON INVERSION
HEIGHTS LOWER SUBSTANTIALLY AND BACKGROUND SYNOPTIC SCALE MOISTURE
DECREASES QUICKLY...WHICH SHOULD BRING A RAPID WEAKENING. WHATEVER
IS LEFT WILL TRY TO SHIFT BACK NORTH TOWARDS BUFFALO LATE FRIDAY AND
FRIDAY EVENING...BUT THERE SHOULD NOT BE MUCH LEFT BESIDES A FEW
LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS.

OFF LAKE ONTARIO...A HEALTHY BAND OF MODERATE TO HEAVY LAKE EFFECT
SNOW REMAINS IN PLACE OVER OSWEGO AND SOUTHERN LEWIS COUNTIES.
SNOWFALL RATES OF 2 TO 4 INCHES AN HOUR WILL BE FOUND WITHIN THE
HEART OF THIS BAND THROUGH ABOUT 08Z...THEN LIKE THE ACTIVITY OFF LK
ERIE....THE SINGLE BAND WILL BECOME DISORGANIZED FOR AN HOUR OR TWO
BEFORE REDEVELOPING INTO A MULTI-BAND EVENT FROM OSWEGO COUNTY
WESTWARD ALONG THE LAKE ONTARIO BORDERING COUNTIES.

ALL OF THIS COMBINED SHOULD PRODUCE ADVISORY TYPE ACCUMULATIONS IN
WAYNE AND NORTHERN CAYUGA COUNTIES FROM LATE TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY.
AMOUNTS SHOULD REMAIN BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA FOR ROCHESTER.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
LAKE EFFECT SNOW WILL DIMINISH TO START THIS TIME PERIOD OFF BOTH
EASTERN GREAT LAKES. ALOFT A FRONT OF WARMER AIR WILL BE ADVANCING
NORTHWARD UP LAKE ERIE AND THIS WARMING WILL GREATLY REDUCED THE
CAPPING INVERSION OFF LAKE ERIE WITH INCREASE WIND SHEAR ENDING ANY
LINGER LAKE EFFECT SNOW NEAR SKI COUNTRY THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS.

OFF LAKE ONTARIO A STILL HEALTHY BAND OF LAKE EFFECT SNOW WILL BE
ONGOING WITH A WNW FLOW. THIS BAND OF SNOW WILL FOCUS ON AREAS SE OF
LAKE ONTARIO WITH SEVERAL MORE INCHES OF SNOW BEFORE WARMING FROM
THE SOUTH...AND INCREASE WIND SHEAR ENDS THE LAKE EFFECT SNOW BY
SATURDAY MORNING OVER THE TUG HILL REGION.

SATURDAY WILL BE THE BEGINNING OF WARMING ACROSS WNY. A
SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW AROUND A BROAD AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE OFF THE
CAROLINA COASTLINE WILL BRING TEMPERATURES ALOFT AT 850 HPA UP ABOVE
FREEZING. MEANWHILE MOISTURE ADVECTION FROM THE MIDWEST WILL BRING
CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION AS WARM...MOIST AIR IS LIFTED UPWARD OVER
THE COOLER AIR WITHIN THE BOUNDARY LAYER. EXPECT SOME LIGHT
PRECIPITATION TO START ACROSS WNY LATER IN THE DAY SATURDAY...AND BY
SATURDAY EVENING FOR AREAS EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO. SOME LINGER POCKETS
OF BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURES AT THE GROUND MAY PRODUCE SOME SPOTTY
FREEZING RAIN AT THE ONSET...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE HILLS SOUTH OF
BUFFALO AND ROCHESTER...AND ALSO VALLEYS TO THE EAST OF LAKE
ONTARIO.

LIGHT PRECIPITATION WILL CONTINUE INTO SUNDAY WITH ABUNDANT LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE LIFTED ON THE NOSE OF A 50 KNOT LLJ. WITH THE WARMING
PATTERN USUALLY WINDS ALOFT HAVE A HARD TIME MIXING DOWN DUE TO THE
POOR LAPSE RATES...AND JUST A BREEZY DAY WILL BE FOUND SATURDAY AND
SUNDAY.

SUNDAY A BREAK IN PRECIPITATION IS LIKELY AS THE OVERHEAD RIDGE
STRENGTHENS. THOUGH LIKELY STILL CLOUDY A STRONG WARM AIR ADVECTION
PATTERN WILL BRING 850 HPA TEMPERATURES UP TO 6C SUNDAY AND TO NEAR
10C BY EARLY MONDAY. THESE SOUTHERLY WINDS...ALONG WITH HEIGHT RISES
ALOFT ON SUNDAY WILL BRING OUR SURFACE HIGHS INTO THE LOWER 50S.
COUPLED WITH THE WARMING TEMPERATURES WILL ALSO BE A RISE IN SURFACE
DEWPOINTS. DEWPOINTS WILL START TO RISE INTO THE MID TO UPPER 30S
SUNDAY. THE COMBINATION OF WARMING TEMPERATURES...INCREASE SOUTHERLY
WINDS AND RISING DEWPOINTS SHOULD ALLOW FOR THE DEEP SNOWPACK EAST
OF BOTH GREAT LAKES TO COMPACT AND DIMINISH IN HEIGHT.

SUNDAY NIGHT AND INTO MONDAY IS WHEN THE BEST CHANCES FOR RAINFALL
TO OCCUR. ON THE FORCING OF A WARM FRONT BOUNDARY LIFTING NORTHWARD
FROM A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES...A LIGHT
RAINFALL IS LIKELY ACROSS OUR REGION. AT THIS TIME RAINFALL DOES NOT
LOOK TO BE SIGNIFICANT WITH A SHORT PERIOD OF RAINFALL MEASURING ON
THE ORDER OF A QUARTER TO ONE HALF INCH.

THE MAJOR CONCERN THIS TIME PERIOD WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR
FLOODING. LIQUID STORED IN THE RECENTLY FALLEN LAKE EFFECT SNOW IS
LIKELY TO BE AT LEAST SEVERAL INCHES. SUNDAY NIGHT WILL REMAIN MILD
WITH LOWS REMAINING WELL ABOVE FREEZING. BY MONDAY SURFACE
TEMPERATURES WILL BE CLIMBING TOWARDS THE UPPER 50S TO AROUND 60F
WHICH WITH DEWPOINTS NOW IN THE MID TO UPPER 40S AND SOUTHERLY WINDS
SHOULD ALLOW FOR MUCH OF THE SNOW TO MELT. THE HIGH LIQUID IN THE
SNOWPACK COMBINED THE FALLING RAINFALL COULD LEAD TO FLOODING...BOTH
URBAN/AREAL AS WELL AS SIGNIFICANT RISES ON LOCAL STREAM/CREEKS AND
RIVERS.

THE BASE OF THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AND ITS COLD AIR WILL REMAIN JUST
TO OUR WEST THROUGH THE COURSE OF MONDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR
SURFACE TEMPERATURES TO REMAIN ABOVE FREEZING THROUGH THE NIGHT AND
ALLOW FOR SNOWPACK MELTING TO CONTINUE. WITH THE TROUGH NEARBY WILL
CARRY A LOW CHANCE POP FOR A PASSING SHOWER.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
FOR THE TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY TIME PERIOD COOLING TEMPERATURES
WILL END THE THREAT OF FLOODING...BUT AGAIN RENEW THE LAKE EFFECT
SNOW POTENTIAL.

ON TUESDAY AN AMPLIFIED UPPER AIR PATTERN WILL CONTINUE AS A LONG
WAVE TROUGH WILL BE FOUND OVER THE GREAT LAKES REGION AND DOWN
TOWARDS THE SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. THIS TROUGH WILL SPLIT THE
RIDGE TO OUR EAST (PRIOR WARM AIRMASS) AND RIDGE ACROSS THE WEST.

WITH SHORTWAVES PASSING THROUGH THIS UPPER LEVEL TROUGH...AND WITH
THIS TROUGH NOW NEARING OUR REGION WILL MAINTAIN LOW CHANCE POPS FOR
A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW. AS THE COLD AIR DEEPENS THROUGH THE
DAY...LAKE EFFECT SNOW WILL AGAIN BECOME A CONCERN.

BY TUESDAY NIGHT TEMPERATURES ALOFT AT 850 HPA WILL HAVE DROPPED TO
NEAR -10C...AND FALLING. ALOFT THIS UPPER LEVEL LOW TO OUR WEST WILL
NOT BE AS DEEP AS THIS CURRENT WEEK OF LAKE EFFECT SNOW...COLD AIR
NOT AS DEEP AND CAPPING INVERSION HEIGHTS NOT AS TALL. THAT SAID
PARAMETERS ARE STILL LOOKING FAVORABLE FOR ANOTHER BAND OF LAKE
EFFECT SNOW STARTING TUESDAY PM ACROSS AREAS NORTHEAST OF THE
LAKES...THEN DROPPING SOUTHWARD THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY.
WITH THE COLD AIR NOT AS DEEP THERE MAY EVEN BE A LITTLE RAIN MIXED
IN WITH THE BANDS OF SNOW DURING THE DAY WEDNESDAY.

A SHORTWAVE WILL CROSS THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES WEDNESDAY/WEDNESDAY
NIGHT...WHICH MAY DISRUPT THE BANDS SOME...BEFORE A WESTERLY WIND
CARRIES THE LAKE EFFECT SNOW INLAND TO AREAS EAST OF THE LAKES...AND
SOUTH OF BUFFALO/WATERTOWN FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

BANDS OF LAKE EFFECT SNOW WILL FADE EARLY THURSDAY AS WE GET A
LITTLE WARM AIR ADVECTION ALOFT AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING SHORTWAVE.
THIS SHORTWAVE MAY BRING SOME LIGHT GENERAL SNOW TO WNY BY LATE IN
THE DAY THURSDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /07Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
OUTSIDE OF LAKE EFFECT AREAS CONDITIONS WILL BE MAINLY VFR THROUGH
THE PERIOD AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS THE REGION.

AS FOR LAKE EFFECT...THE PLUME OFF LAKE ERIE IS NOW FOCUSED ACROSS
THE SOUTHERN TIER AS MULTI BANDS OF LAKE EFFECT. THIS WILL RESULT IN
DETERIORATING CONDITIONS AT KJHW AND KELZ WITH IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS
WHEN THE BAND INTERSECTS THE TERMINALS.

OFF LAKE ONTARIO... A PLUME OF SNOW EXTENDS ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST
LAKE SHORE. THIS BAND WILL SETTLE TO THE SOUTH OVERNIGHT AND BECOME
MULTI BAND IN NATURE BY MORNING OVER THE COUNTIES SOUTHEAST OF THE
LAKE. THIS WILL KEEP VFR AT KART...BUT DETERIORATING CONDITIONS CAN
BE EXPECTED AT KROC AFTER 08Z.

BOTH AREAS OF LAKE EFFECT WILL LIFT BACK NORTH AND RAPIDLY WEAKEN
FRIDAY EVENING AS SURFACE RIDGING LOWERS INVERSION HEIGHTS.

OUTLOOK...
SATURDAY...VFR.
SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...PERIODS OF IFR/MVFR IN RAIN. LLWS
POSSIBLE SUNDAY NIGHT AND INTO MONDAY MORNING.
TUESDAY...MAINLY VFR WITH A CHANCE OF RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS.

&&

.MARINE...
WHILE DEEP LOW PRESSURE PASSING BY TO THE NORTH OF THE LOWER GREAT
LAKES WILL CONTINUE TO GENERATE FAIRLY STRONG WINDS THROUGH
TONIGHT...WINDS HAVE DROPPED BELOW GALE FORCE ON LAKE ONTARIO. HAVE
THUS DROPPED THE GALE WARNING AND HAVE REPLACED IT WITH SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORIES FOR THE LAKE ONTARIO NEARSHORE WATERS. MEANWHILE SCA'S
WILL REMAIN IN PLACE FOR THE LAKE ERIE NEARSHORE WATERS ALONG WITH
THE IAG AND ST LAWRENCE RIVERS.

THE STRONG WINDS WILL START TO SUBSIDE LATER TONIGHT AS HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES REGION AND WEAKEN THE
INFLUENCING SFC PRESSURE GRADIENT. WHILE THE AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE
WILL PASS OVER LAKES ERIE AND ONTARIO ON FRIDAY...WINDS WILL LIKELY
REMAIN HIGH ENOUGH TO WARRANT SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES ON LAKE ONTARIO.
