HITCHCOCK/PAONE

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
645 PM EST SUN FEB 2 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION OVERNIGHT...WITH LINGERING
SNOW SHOWERS AND FLURRIES TAPERING OFF. THIS WILL BRING MAINLY DRY
CONDITIONS MONDAY AND TUESDAY WITH SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES. THEN
WIDESPREAD ACCUMULATING SNOW IS LIKELY TO ARRIVE TUESDAY NIGHT AND
WEDNESDAY AS LOW PRESSURE MOVES FROM THE LOWER OHIO VALLEY TO THE
MID ATLANTIC STATES.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
REGIONAL RADARS THIS EVENING SHOW THE LINGERING LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS
BEHIND THE COLD FRONT NOW TO OUR EAST WITH JUST A THICK COVER OF
CLOUDS OVER US.

FOR TONIGHT...HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE MID-WESTERN STATES WILL RIDGE
TOWARD THE LOWER LAKES. MEANWHILE...LOW PRESSURE WILL TRACK FROM THE
DEEP SOUTH TOWARD THE MID ATLANTIC STATES. A STRONG MODEL CONSENSUS
KEEPS PRECIPITATION ASSOCIATED WITH THIS LOW TO THE SOUTH AND EAST
OF OUR CWA. 850MB TEMPERATURES WILL ONLY DROP TO ABOUT -12C...WHICH
WILL RESULT IN VERY LIMITED LAKE INDUCED INSTABILITY. AN INVERSION
WILL DEVELOP OVERNIGHT...AND THIS COMBINED WITH A NORTHERLY FLOW
ACROSS LAKE ONTARIO WILL KEEP CONSIDERABLE CLOUDINESS ACROSS MUCH OF
WESTERN NEW YORK. IT IS ONLY MARGINALLY COLD ENOUGH FOR SNOW
GROWTH...SO IF ANY PRECIPITATION DOES DEVELOP IT WOULD BE FLURRIES
OR POSSIBLY FREEZING DRIZZLE. THIS SAID...THE MOST LIKELY OUTCOME IS
THAT NO PRECIPITATION WILL OCCUR AT ALL TONIGHT.

OTHERWISE...TEMPERATURES WILL DROP INTO THE TEENS IN MOST
LOCATIONS...WITH LOWER 20S SOUTHEAST OF LAKE ONTARIO WHERE CLOUDS
WILL BE MOST PERSISTENT.

ON MONDAY...A HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE WILL EXTEND ACROSS THE REGION
WHICH BRING IN PROGRESSIVELY DRIER AIR. EXPECT THERE WILL BE SOME
LINGERING CLOUD COVER...BUT THIS WILL SCATTER OUT DURING THE
AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURES WILL BE ON THE COOL SIDE...WITH HIGHS IN THE
MID TO UPPER 20S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED BETWEEN THE OHIO RIVER AND THE GREAT LAKES
WILL MOVE EASTWARD ON MONDAY EVENING AS LOW PRESSURE OFF THE EAST
COAST MOVE FARTHER OUT TO SEA. EXPECT MORE CLEARING MONDAY NIGHT AND
EARLY TUESDAY...THEN A SLOW INCREASE IN CLOUDS AS THE NEXT STORM
SYSTEM TAKES SHAPE ACROSS THE NATION'S INTERIOR.

LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE NORTH FROM THE GULF COAST STATES AND REACH
THE THE TENNESSEE VALLEY DURING TUESDAY AFTERNOON. THE PRECIPITATION
ACCOMPANYING WITH THE LOW AND ITS ASSOCIATED LEADING WARM FRONT WILL
STAY MAINLY SOUTH OF NEW YORK STATE...BUT CLOUDS WILL INCREASE FROM
SOUTH TO NORTH THROUGH THE DAY. 12Z GFS AND ECMWF SHOW A SLOWER
MOVING AND MORE SOUTHERLY SURFACE LOW WITH ITS POSITION OVER
KENTUCKY AT 06Z WED AND NORTHERN VA OR NORTHERN WV...ECMWF AND GFS
RESPECTIVELY...AT 12Z WED. AN ENERGETIC WARM ADVECTION PATTERN
ACROSS THE SHALLOWLY SLANTED WARM FRONT WILL PROVIDE LOW LEVEL LIFT
AND MOISTURE INTO AND OVER AN ALREADY COLD AIRMASS...RESULTING IN A
STEADY AND ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL STARTING ACROSS OUR REGION DURING
TUESDAY OVERNIGHT AND CONTINUING THROUGH A GOOD PART OF WEDNESDAY.

THE MORE SOUTHERLY POSITION OF THE SURFACE LOW WILL LEAVE OUR REGION
IN DEEP ENOUGH COLD AIR TO NEARLY ENSURE THAT THE PRECIP WILL BE ALL
SNOW. THERE ARE SIMILARITIES IN THE EC AND GFS TRACKS...BUT NAM80
APPEARS TO BE QUITE AN OUTLIER WITH THE SURFACE LOW ACROSS
NORTHWESTERN PA AND SOUTHWESTERN NY AT 12Z WED...WITH ENOUGH WARM
AIR IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER TO PRODUCE A WINTRY MIX OF SNOW AND SLEET.
GFS AND ECMWF HAVE BEEN CONSISTENT ENOUGH OVER THE PAST SEVERAL RUNS
WITH THE EVER-SO-SLIGHTLY FARTHER SOUTH TRACK THAT THEIR SOLUTION IS
MORE BELIEVABLE THAN THE NAM80. LIKEWISE...THE FORECAST TEMPERATURE
PROFILES FROM THE ENSEMBLE MEMBERS AVAILABLE ON BUFKIT SHOW NO
MELTING LAYER...ALL TEMPS ARE SUB FREEZING...FURTHER SULLYING THE
VERACITY OF THE NAM80 FORECAST.

QPF DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ECMWF AND GFS AND VARIATION FROM EACH MODEL
RUN LEAD TO A WIDE RANGE OF SNOWFALL TOTALS...BUT IT DOES APPEAR
THAT THERE WILL BE A RATHER SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF SNOW FROM LATE
TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY EVENING...WILL KNOW MORE AND HAVE
MORE CONFIDENCE GIVEN ANOTHER COUPLE OF MODEL RUNS.

A NORTHWEST FLOW OF COLDER AIR BEHIND THE LOW WILL SET THE STAGE FOR
SOME LAKE ENHANCED SNOW TO SOUTHEAST OF LAKE ONTARIO LATE WEDNESDAY
NIGHT...BUT MID LEVEL SUBSIDENCE AND DRIER AIR ALOFT WILL LIMIT THE
INTENSITY OF THE SNOWFALL.

TEMPS TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY WILL BE IN THE UPPER 20S TO LOWER
30S...VERY CLOSE TO SEASONAL NORMALS FOR EARLY FEBRUARY. LOWS MONDAY
AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT WILL BE IN THE TEENS...AGAIN QUITE CLOSE TO OR A
LITTLE BELOW SEASONAL NORMALS...AND TUESDAY NIGHT WILL BE IN THE MID
20S WHICH WILL BE QUITE MILD FOR A FEBRUARY NIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS BACK ACROSS THE REGION FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE
WEEK WITH A DEEPER MID CONTINENT TROUGH DEVELOPING NEXT WEEKEND.
ASIDE FROM SOME SNOW THAT MAY LINGER EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO...EXPECT
MAINLY DRY WEATHER TO PREVAIL THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. LOW PRESSURE
MOVING EAST FROM THE OHIO VALLEY WILL BRING A CHANCE FOR LIGHT SNOW
FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY. A CHANCE FOR SNOW WILL CONTINUE INTO
SUNDAY AS THIS LOW SETTLES OFF THE EAST COAST. GFS AND ECMWF DIFFER
AS TO THE SPECIFICS OF WHY THERE WILL BE SNOW THROUGH THE
WEEKEND...BUT AGREE THAT MUCH OF THE EASTERN US WILL SEE SOME SNOW
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.

HIGH TEMPERATURES THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WILL RANGE FROM THE MID TEENS
TO LOWER 20S. SOME MODERATION IN TEMPERATURES WILL TAKE PLACE
SATURDAY. EXPECT LOWS IN THE SINGLE NUMBERS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY
NIGHTS...WITH SOME BELOW ZERO READINGS OVER THE NORTH COUNTRY
THURSDAY NIGHT. SATURDAY AND SUNDAY WILL MODERATE SOMEWHAT WITH
DAYTIME TEMPS IN THE 20S EACH DAY AND LOWS SATURDAY NIGHT IN THE
UPPER SINGLE NUMBERS TO THE MID TEENS.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
WIDESPREAD MVFR CIGS THIS EVENING AS WE START THE 00Z TAF
CYCLE...WITH IFR CIGS FOUND ACROSS THE SOUTHERN TIER. A LIGHT
NORTHWEST TO NORTHERLY FLOW WILL MAINTAIN THESE CLOUDS THROUGH MUCH
OF THE TAF CYCLE...WITH CIGS ONLY SLOWLY RISING THROUGH THE DAY
TOMORROW.

OUTLOOK...
MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY...VFR.
TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY...WIDESPREAD IFR IN SNOW.
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...MAINLY VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
A COLD FRONT WILL PUSH SLOWLY SOUTHEAST OF THE AREA THIS EVENING.
THIS WILL PRODUCE MARGINAL SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS AT THE
SOUTHEAST CORNER OF LAKE ONTARIO. LATER TONIGHT HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD
INTO THE LOWER LAKES AND REMAIN IN PLACE MONDAY AND TUESDAY WITH A
RARE PERIOD OF LIGHT WINDS IN MID WINTER. BY TUESDAY NIGHT AND
WEDNESDAY LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE FROM THE LOWER OHIO VALLEY TO THE
MID ATLANTIC STATES...WITH INCREASING NORTH TO NORTHEAST WINDS ON
THE LOWER LAKES.

&&

.BUF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
NY...NONE.
MARINE...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY UNTIL 4 AM EST MONDAY FOR LOZ043-044.
