AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
842 PM EST WED FEB 11 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
A CLIPPER LOW WILL SEND SNOW OVERSPREADING THE AREA THIS EVENING AND
CONTINUING THROUGH THE DAY THURSDAY. WIDESPREAD SNOW WILL TRANSITION
TO LAKE EFFECT SNOW SOUTH AND EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO ON THURSDAY.
BEHIND THIS CLIPPER...A BLAST OF ARCTIC AIR WILL BRING SOME OF THE
COLDEST TEMPERATURES OF THE SEASON FOR FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY. SOME
CHANCES FOR SNOW WILL ACCOMPANY THE COLD AIR...BUT WILL MAINLY BE
LIMITED TO LAKE EFFECT SNOW SOUTH AND EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
A CLIPPER LOW SEEN ON WV IMAGERY OVER MICHIGAN WILL MOVE ACROSS NEW
YORK OVERNIGHT. THE INITIAL BURST OF SNOW AHEAD OF THIS FEATURE HAS
WEAKENED INTO AN AREA OF LIGHT SNOW PUSHING INTO CENTRAL NY AND THE
NORTH COUNTRY AT MID EVENING.

UPSTREAM OBS ACROSS SOUTHERN ONTARIO AND NORTHERN OHIO HAVE SHOWN
SOME FREEZING DRIZZLE RECENTLY...AND THIS HAS NOW DEVELOPED ACROSS
WESTERN NY AS WELL. THE PERIOD OF FREEZING DRIZZLE WILL BE VERY
BRIEF...WITH SATELLITE AND RADAR IMAGERY SHOWING AN AREA OF LIGHT TO
MODERATE SNOW STREAKING RAPIDLY EAST ACROSS SOUTHERN ONTARIO. ONCE
THIS DEEPER MOISTURE ARRIVES...IT SHOULD CHANGE ALL PRECIP BACK TO
SNOW BY AROUND 10PM-1030PM. THE PERIOD OF FREEZING DRIZZLE IS TOO
BRIEF TO JUSTIFY AN ADVISORY...AND WILL ALSO BE FALLING ON A LAYER
OF FRESHLY FALLEN SNOW FROM EARLIER THIS EVENING AND SHOULD HAVE
LITTLE OR NO IMPACT.

THE NEXT BATCH OF SNOW ARRIVING LATE THIS EVENING ACROSS WESTERN NY
WILL PUSH EAST ACROSS THE AREA OVERNIGHT.

THE VARIOUS PERIODS OF SNOW WILL NOT ADD UP TO MUCH GIVEN HOW BRIEF
THEY WILL BE. EXPECT AROUND AN INCH IN MOST LOCATIONS WITH 1-2
INCHES ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN SOUTH OF BUFFALO INTO THE WESTERN
SOUTHERN TIER AND ALSO EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO WITH SOME ASSIST FROM
UPSLOPE FLOW.

THURSDAY WILL SEE TEMPERATURES FALLING THROUGH THE DAY...WITH THE
HIGH TEMPERATURE FOR THE DAY LIKELY TO HAPPEN AT MIDNIGHT.
TEMPERATURES ACROSS WESTERN NEW YORK WILL BE IN THE SINGLE DIGITS BY
THURSDAY AFTERNOON...WITH WIND CHILLS APPROACHING THE TEENS BELOW
ZERO. THE TROUGH PASSAGE AND STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION THURSDAY
MORNING WILL ALSO CUT OFF THE WIDESPREAD SNOWFALL FOR MUCH OF THE
AREA...WITH THE SYNOPTIC SUPPORT DEPARTED. BY THURSDAY
AFTERNOON...INSTABILITY WILL BE MAXIMIZED UNDER THE UPPER-LEVEL
TROUGH AND SHOULD ACT TO INCREASE SOME WIDESPREAD SNOW
SHOWERS...ALTHOUGH SNOW ACCUMULATIONS FROM THOSE WILL LIKELY BE
LIMITED TO ANOTHER HALF INCH TO AN INCH DURING THE DAY THURSDAY. THE
FOCUS FOR ACCUMULATING SNOW ON THURSDAY TURNS TO LAKE EFFECT SNOW
OFF OF LAKE ONTARIO COMBINED WITH SOME ENHANCED UPSLOPE FLOW /
LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE AND LIFT. THE COLDER AIR AND TRANSITION TO MORE
LAKE EFFECT SNOW WILL ALLOW THE SNOW RATIOS TO INCREASE...AND HAVE
GONE WITH RATIOS OF 20:1 TO 30:1 BY THE AFTERNOON. AREAS SOUTH AND
EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO COULD SEE 2 TO 4 INCHES OF SNOW WITH LAKE
EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS DURING THE DAY THURSDAY. THE OTHER AREA OF
INTEREST WILL BE THE CHAUTAUQUA RIDGE WHICH COULD SEE ANOTHER 1 TO 3
INCHES OF SNOW DURING THE DAY THURSDAY FROM THE UPSLOPE ENHANCEMENT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
AS EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW BY NOW...IT WILL BE QUITE COLD DURING THIS
PERIOD AS A HIGH AMPLITUDE +PNA PATTERN WILL BE IN PLACE ACROSS
NORTH AMERICA. TWO ROBUST SHORTWAVES WILL FIRST DEEPEN...AND THEN
MAINTAIN...AN ANOMALOUSLY DEEP TROUGH HERE ACROSS THE EASTERN
PORTION OF THE COUNTRY. THEY WILL EJECT SOUTHWARDS FROM AROUND THE
PERIPHERY OF THE POLAR VORTEX CENTERED OVER BAFFIN AND QUEEN
ELIZABETH ISLANDS...SIPHONING LARGE CHUNKS OF POLAR AIR OUT OF THE
ARCTIC WHILE EVENTUALLY SPAWNING IMPRESSIVE COASTAL STORMS OFF NEW
ENGLAND. FOR OUR REGION...THE NOTEWORTHY IMPACT WILL BE CLEARLY BE
THE FORMER AS TEMPERATURES WILL PLUMMET TO BETWEEN 20 AND 30 DEG F
BELOW NORMAL MID FEBRUARY VALUES.

THIS PERIOD WILL BEGIN WITH THE FIRST OF THE STRONG MID LEVEL
DISTURBANCES PLOWING ACROSS THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY...WHILE ITS
ASSOCIATED SFC LOW WILL TRANSITION FROM EASTERN NEW YORK TO THE NEW
ENGLAND COAST. WHILE THE BULK OF THE SYNOPTICALLY SUPPORTED SNOW
SHOWERS WITH THE SFC LOW WILL BE MOVING OUT OF OUR FORECAST AREA...
'LOCALLY GROWN' SNOW SHOWERS WILL BECOME COMMON ALONG AND BEHIND AN
ARCTIC COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE. THESE SNOW SHOWERS WILL BE SUPPORTED
BY THE PASSING OF THE DEEP LONGWAVE TROUGH AND SHOULD BE GREATLY
ENHANCED BY THE FRESH FRIGID AIR POURING ACROSS THE MAINLY OPEN
WATERS OF LAKE ONTARIO. WHILE ALL OF THE FORECAST AREA IS IN LINE
FOR AT LEAST AN INCH OR TWO OF SNOW...THE WESTERN COUNTIES
(PARTICULARLY THE GENESEE VALLEY AND FINGER LAKES REGION) COULD
PICK UP SEVERAL INCHES. GIVEN AN AVERAGE DENDRITIC GROWTH ZONE OF
3K FT AND NEAR SFC TEMPS IN THE TEENS...THE SNOW SHOULD BE LIGHT
AND FLUFFY IN NATURE...AND THUS EASIER TO ACCUMULATE. THIS LOW
DENSITY SNOW WILL BE PRONE TO BEING BLOWN AROUND...MAINLY IN THE
AFTERNOON WHEN WINDS WILL GUST TO BETWEEN 25 AND 30 MPH ACROSS THE
WESTERN COUNTIES.

TEMPERATURES ON THURSDAY WILL START OFF IN THE UPPER TEENS TO LOWER
20S JUST AHEAD OF THE ARCTIC FRONT...THEN DURING THE COURSE OF THE
MIDDAY AND AFTERNOON THOSE READINGS WILL DROP BACK THROUGH THE
TEENS...AND FOR THE WESTERN COUNTIES INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS.

THE COLD AIRMASS WILL CONTINUE TO DEEPEN THURSDAY NIGHT AS SFC BASED
RIDGING WILL WORK TO THE EAST ACROSS THE LOWER GREAT LAKES. H85
TEMPS BOTTOMING OUT IN THE VCNTY OF -24C WILL KEEP LAKE SUPPORTED
SNOW SHOWERS IN PLACE FOR MOST AREAS...PARTICULARLY WITHIN A 40 MILE
CORRIDOR FROM BUFFALO TO SYRACUSE WHERE 2 TO 4 INCHES OF NEW SNOW
COULD ACCUMULATE. THIS WILL FURTHER HAMPER TRAVEL ALONG THAT STRETCH
OF THE NEW YORK STATE THRUWAY.

WINDS WILL REMAIN GUSTY THROUGH AT LEAST THE FIRST HALF OF THE
NIGHT...AND WITH TEMPS DROPPING WELL BELOW ZERO IN MOST AREAS...WIND
CHILL VALUES WILL NOSE DIVE INTO THE -20S F OVER THE WESTERN
COUNTIES AND AS LOW AS -30F ACROSS THE NORTH COUNTRY. THIS WILL
UNDOUBTEDLY REQUIRE A MINIMUM OF WIND CHILL ADVISORIES...AND
POSSIBLY WARNINGS IN A LATER FORECAST PACKAGE...SO WILL INCREASE THE
'VISIBILITY' OF THIS THREAT BY HIGHLIGHTING WITH A WIND CHILL WATCH.
THIS HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN ADVERTISED IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER
OUTLOOK.

LOW LEVEL RIDGING WILL THEN WORK ITS WAY ACROSS OUR REGION ON FRIDAY
WHILE THE NEXT SPIRITED SHORTWAVE WILL TRUDGE SOUTHWARDS ACROSS THE
NORTHERN HALF OF ONTARIO. IN TERMS OF SNOW...THIS WILL OFFER A BIT
OF A BREAK TO OUR REGION AS LARGE SCALE SUBSIDENCE WILL LIMIT MOST
AREAS TO SOME FLURRIES. THERE WILL STILL BE A MORE CONCENTRATED AREA
OF SNOW SHOWERS THOUGH FOR SITES IMMEDIATELY SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST OF
LAKE ONTARIO...WITH THE FINGER LAKES POSSIBLY PICKING UP AN INCH OF
TWO OF ACCUMULATION. OTHERWISE...IT WILL BE BITTERLY COLD ON FRIDAY
WITH TEMPERATURES NOT MAKING THEIR WAY OUT OF THE SINGLE DIGITS.
FOR SITES EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO...TEMPERATURES WILL BARELY MAKE IT
ABOVE ZERO F.

ON FRIDAY NIGHT...THE NEXT MAJOR SHORTWAVE WILL PLUNGE ACROSS THE
UPPER GREAT LAKES WHILE ITS ASSOCIATED SFC REFLECTION WILL
CONSOLIDATE OVER LAKE HURON. THE ENSUING WARM ADVECTION OVER OUR
REGION WILL LIKELY KEEP TEMPERATURES FROM DROPPING BELOW ZERO OVER
THE FAR WESTERN COUNTIES WHILE ALSO GENERATING SOME LIGHT SNOW.
ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE MINIMAL WITH AMOUNTS RANGING FROM AN INCH OR
TWO OVER THE FAR WESTERN COUNTIES TO A COATING OVER THE FINGER LAKES
AND EAST OF LK ONTARIO.

THE POWERFUL SHORTWAVE WILL PUSH SOUTH TO THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY ON
SATURDAY. ONE WAY TO 'VISUALIZE' THE MAGNITUDE OF THIS FEATURE IS TO
LOOK AT THE 1.5 PV SFC...WHICH IS FORECAST TO LOWER TO UNDER 800 MB.
THE CORRESPONDING SFC LOW IS EXPECTED TO CROSS DIRECTLY OVER OUR
FORECAST AREA...SO HAVE RAISED POPS TO LIKELY FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF
ACCUMULATING SNOW. AS WAS THE CASE WITH THE PREVIOUS SYSTEM...TEMPS
WILL MAX OUT IN THE TEENS DURING THE MORNING THEN WILL STEADILY DROP
IN THE WAKE OF THE SFC LOW IN THE AFTERNOON. H85 TEMPS OF -28C JUST
UPSTREAM WILL THEN SET THE STAGE FOR WHAT SHOULD BE THE COLDEST 36
HOUR PERIOD YET EXPERIENCED THIS WINTER FOR OUR REGION.

AFTER THE SFC LOW MOVES EAST OF OUR AREA SATURDAY NIGHT...IT WILL
'BOMB OUT' ALONG THE NEW ENGLAND COAST WHILE A STRONG ARCTIC HIGH
WILL MOVE OUT OF THE CANADIAN PRAIRIES. BOTH THE ECMWF AND GFS PAINT
A BULLSEYE OF -28C H85 AIR CROSSING OUR FORECAST AREA WITHIN THE
RESULTING BOREAL FLOW. THIS WILL SUPPORT WIDESPREAD TEMPS WELL BELOW
ZERO...WITH ANOTHER ROUND OF DANGEROUSLY LOW WIND CHILL VALUES TO
BOOT.

A VERY COLD NORTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL KEEP SNOW SHOWERS IN PLACE
ACROSS A LARGE PORTION OF THE REGION SATURDAY NIGHT AS TEMPERATURES
WILL ONCE AGAIN TUMBLE WELL BELOW ZERO. ANOTHER ROUND OF WIND CHILL
ADVISORIES AND/OR WARNINGS WILL ONCE AGAIN BE NEEDED...AS APPARENT
TEMPS ARE PROJECTED TO RANGE FROM 20 TO 35 BELOW.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THE MAIN STORY THROUGH THE PERIOD WILL BE THE CONTINUED COLD...AS
ARCTIC AIR CONTINUES TO BE MAINTAINED ACROSS THE EASTERN GREAT
LAKES/NORTHEAST CONUS. TEMPERATURE DEPARTURES OF 20+ DEGREES BELOW
NORMAL ARE LIKELY FOR MOST OF THE PERIOD...AS GEFS NORMALIZED
925/850 MB ANOMALIES ARE PROJECTED TO BE NEAR 3 STANDARD DEVIATION
BELOW NORMAL...WITH THE CORE OF THE COLDEST AIR SET TO SETTLE OVER
THE AREA SUNDAY INTO MONDAY.

THE SYNOPTIC SYSTEM WHICH WORKS THROUGH THE AREA AND THEN EVENTUALLY
DEEPENS OFF THE EAST COAST LOOKS TO BE TOO FAR SOUTH AND EAST TO
HAVE A MAJOR IMPACT. THERE LOOKS TO BE A GREATER CHANCE FOR
LOCALIZED LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS IMPACTING FAVORED NORTHERLY FLOW
AREAS. ACCUMULATIONS AT THIS STAGE OF THE FORECAST DO NOT LOOK TO BE
SIGNIFICANT...ALTHOUGH ANY ENHANCEMENT FROM INDIVIDUAL INCOMING
SHORTWAVES COULD ENHANCE SNOWFALL AMOUNTS.

LOOKING FURTHER OUT...THE MEDIUM RANGE ENSEMBLES ARE IN STRONG
AGREEMENT THAT THE HIGHLY AMPLIFIED +PNA PATTERN WILL REMAIN IN
PLACE THROUGH ALL OF NEXT WEEK. IT IS TYPICAL FOR SUCH A PATTERN
THIS LATE IN WINTER TO REMAIN IN PHASE FOR A WEEK TO TEN DAYS. THIS
WILL VIRTUALLY GUARANTEE BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE LOWER
GREAT LAKES THROUGH PRESIDENTS DAY WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /02Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
THE INITIAL BATCH OF SNOW IS PUSHING INTO CENTRAL NY AND THE NORTH
COUNTRY AND TAKING THE IFR VSBY WITH IT. BEHIND THE INITIAL BATCH OF
SNOW...VERY LIGHT SNOW AND FREEZING DRIZZLE HAS DEVELOPED ACROSS
WESTERN NY. THE FREEZING DRIZZLE WILL BE VERY SHORT LIVED...WITH
ANOTHER AREA OF DEEPER MOISTURE AND SNOW UPSTREAM ACROSS SOUTHERN
ONTARIO WHICH WILL ARRIVE BY 03Z-04Z AND CHANGE EVERYTHING BACK TO
SNOW. THIS SECOND BATCH OF SNOW WILL BRING ANOTHER PERIOD OF IFR
VSBY MOVING FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE AREA OVERNIGHT. CIGS WILL
STAY MVFR AT LOWER ELEVATIONS WITH IFR ACROSS HIGHER TERRAIN FROM
MID TO LATE EVENING THROUGH THE REST OF THE NIGHT.

ON THURSDAY EXPECT OCCASIONAL SNOW SHOWERS...ESPECIALLY DURING THE
AFTERNOON ALONG AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT AND THEN WITH MULTIPLE BANDS OF
LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS BEHIND IT ON NORTHWEST FLOW. THIS WILL
