AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
1152 PM EST FRI JAN 9 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
A SIGNIFICANT LAKE EFFECT SNOW EVENT WILL CONTINUE EAST OF LAKES
ERIE AND ONTARIO THROUGH SATURDAY...WITH THE HEAVIEST SNOWS SETTLING
A LITTLE FURTHER SOUTHWARD AGAIN OVERNIGHT. TOTAL ACCUMULATIONS BY
SATURDAY MORNING WILL LIKELY BE 2 TO 3 FEET EAST OF LAKE ERIE...WITH
4 TO 6 FEET QUITE POSSIBLE EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO. THE LAKE SNOWS WILL
SHIFT BACK NORTHWARD AND GRADUALLY WEAKEN SATURDAY...THOUGH
ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATIONS WILL STILL BE LIKELY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL
THEN BUILD INTO THE REGION FOR THE END OF THE WEEKEND AND FINALLY
BRING AN END TO THE LAKE EFFECT SNOWS.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
AS OF 03Z...THE LAKE ERIE LAKE SNOWS MANAGED TO EDGE JUST A HAIR
FURTHER NORTHWARD SINCE THE PREVIOUS UPDATE...WITH INTENSE SNOWFALL
RATES OF AS HIGH AS 3 TO 4 INCHES AN HOUR REACHING INTO MARILLA
AND PORTIONS OF ELMA. THIS NORTHWARD SHIFT BY JUST A FEW MILES WAS
ENOUGH TO NECESSITATE THE ISSUANCE OF A LAKE EFFECT SNOW WARNING
FOR NORTHERN ERIE COUNTY TO COVER THE NORTHERNMOST EXTENSION OF
THE BAND...WHICH WILL CONTINUE TO AFFECT ELMA/MARILLA FOR A FEW
MORE HOURS BEFORE DROPPING SOUTH OF THE AREA AGAIN AFTER MIDNIGHT
AS WINDS VEER...WITH THIS SOUTHWARD SHIFT ALREADY STARTING TO
BECOME NOTICEABLE IN RECENT RADAR IMAGERY. WHILE THIS NEW WARNING
IS IN EFFECT THROUGH MUCH OF SATURDAY...IT SHOULD BE STRESSED THAT
THE BUFFALO AREA AND THE REST OF ITS CENTRAL AND EASTERN SUBURBS
WILL NOT BE AFFECTED UNTIL THE BAND LIFTS NORTHWARD WHILE SLOWLY
WEAKENING DURING SATURDAY.

OTHERWISE...THE REMAINING LAKE EFFECT SNOW WARNINGS OFF LAKE ERIE
STILL LOOK TO BE IN EXCELLENT SHAPE...AS THE STILL-INTENSE BAND WILL
GRADUALLY SLIP BACK SOUTHWARD OVERNIGHT WITH THE PASSAGE OF A MID
LEVEL SHORTWAVE AND SUBSEQUENT VEERING OF THE LOW LEVEL FLOW. EXPECT
SNOWFALL RATES OF 3 TO 4 INCHES PER HOUR TO CONTINUE IN THE CORE OF
THE BAND FOR AT LEAST A FEW MORE HOURS...BEFORE DIMINISHING SOME
OVERNIGHT AS THE BAND WEAKENS A BIT FOLLOWING THE SHORTWAVE PASSAGE.
ALL OF THIS HAS NECESSITATED THE RAISING OF SNOW TOTALS WITHIN THE
HARDEST HIT AREAS DOWNWIND OF LAKE ERIE...WITH AS MUCH AS 2 FEET
FALLING WITHIN THE MOST PERSISTENT SNOWS BY TOMORROW MORNING.

MEANWHILE OFF OUR OTHER LAKE...AN EQUALLY IMPRESSIVE SINGLE BAND
/ALSO WITH SNOWFALL RATES OF 3 INCHES OR MORE PER HOUR/ CONTINUES
ACROSS THE TUG HILL REGION...WITH THIS HAVING REORGANIZED AND
SLIPPED A LITTLE FURTHER SOUTH AGAIN SINCE EARLIER THIS EVENING.
THIS BAND WILL CONTINUE TO POUND THIS SAME GENERAL AREA WHILE
PERHAPS SINKING JUST A LITTLE FURTHER SOUTHWARD OVERNIGHT...WITH
ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATIONS OF 1 TO 2 FEET LIKELY WHERE THE LAKE SNOWS
ARE MOST PERSISTENT...LIKELY RAISING EVENTUAL STORM TOTALS TO THE 4
TO 6 FOOT RANGE IN THE HARDEST HIT AREAS.

THAT IS ALL FOR NOW...THE LATE AFTERNOON NEAR TERM DISCUSSION
FOLLOWS BELOW IN ITS ENTIRETY.

HEAVY LAKE EFFECT SNOW WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE FORECAST FOCUS
DURING THE NEAR TERM PERIOD.

AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL REMAIN OVER THE GREAT LAKES AND
NORTHEAST REGION AS SEVERAL UPSTREAM SHORTWAVES PASS THROUGH THE
BASE OF THE TROUGH THROUGH SATURDAY. COLD AIR WILL CONTINUE TO
DEEPEN ACROSS THE LOWER LAKES REGION WITH THE CORE OF THE COLDEST
AIR ARRIVING BY DAYBREAK SATURDAY WITH 850 MB TEMPERATURES
FORECAST IN THE -22C TO -24C RANGE.

AS FOR THE SPECIFICS...

OFF LAKE ERIE...REGIONAL RADARS SHOWING STILL RATHER DISORGANIZED
LAKE EFFECT EAST OF THE LAKE...EXTENDING AS FAR EAST AS SOUTHERN
LIVINGSTON AND ALLEGANY COUNTIES. WE CONTINUE TO EXPECT THAT THE
LAKE SNOWS WILL BECOME BETTER ORGANIZED TONIGHT AS THE WEST
SOUTHWEST WINDS ALONG THE LONG FETCH OF THE LAKE BECOME BETTER
ALIGNED. OVER-LAKE INSTABILITY STILL IMPRESSIVE WITH EQUILIBRIUM
LEVELS UP TO AROUND 9K FEET...ALTHOUGH PROFILES DO SHOW HEIGHTS
GRADUALLY LOWERING OVERNIGHT. SNOWFALL RATES UP TO 3 INCHES PER HOUR
WILL STILL BE POSSIBLE...BUT AS THE NIGHT WEARS ON THE INTENSITY OF
THE LAKE SNOWS SHOULD START TO WANE A BIT. THE HEAVIEST SNOW SHOULD
STILL FOCUS ON SOUTHERN ERIE...WYOMING...CHAUTAUQUA AND CATTARAUGUS
COUNTIES. THE STRONG WIND FIELDS WILL BRING SOME DECENT ACCUMULATING
SNOWS OVER INTO LIVINGSTON AND ALLEGANY COUNTIES.

LATEST MESO-SCALE MODELS ARE SHOWING THAT ROUTE 20 WILL BE A
CRITICAL DIVIDING LINE BETWEEN HEAVY SNOW AND LITTLE IF ANY SNOW.
THERE LOOKS TO BE A BRIEF WINDOW TONIGHT WHEN SOME SIGNIFICANT SNOW
COULD NUDGE NORTH OF ROUTE 20 THEN OSCILLATE BACK SOUTH THROUGH
DAYBREAK. AT THIS POINT...WILL KEEP THE HEAVY SNOW THREAT OUT OF
NORTHERN ERIE COUNTY...BUT IF A CONSOLIDATED BAND BEGINS TO LIFT
NORTH AN ADDITIONAL HEAVY SNOW THREAT WILL NEED TO BE ADDED TO FAR
SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF NORTHERN ERIE COUNTY...BUT STILL SOUTH OF THE
BUFFALO METRO AREA.

THE LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL BACK DURING THE DAY SATURDAY BRINGING WHAT
SHOULD BE A SIGNIFICANT LAKE BAND NORTHWARD THROUGH THE DAY. THIS
BAND WILL PUSH INTO NORTHERN ERIE AND GENESEE COUNTY BY MID DAY AND
REMAIN THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AS THE LOW LEVEL FLOW REMAINS SOUTHWEST
FOR A SEVERAL HOUR PERIOD...WITH PROBABLE SNOWFALL RATES OF AN
INCH OR POSSIBLE MORE PER HOUR. A LAKE EFFECT SNOW ADVISORY WILL
BE ISSUED FOR THIS TIME FRAME. WARNING SNOWFALL AMOUNTS ARE NOT
OUT OF THE QUESTION...BUT WITH LOWERING EQUILIBRIUM HEIGHTS NOT AS
CONFIDENT IN WARNING AMOUNTS AT THIS TIME.

OFF LAKE ONTARIO...REGIONAL RADARS SHOWING AN IMPRESSIVE LAKE PLUME
EVOLVING JUST SOUTH OF WATERTOWN...SOUTH INTO THE NORTHERN
PORTION OF THE TUG HILL. THIS LAKE BAND WILL REMAIN INTENSE
THROUGH SATURDAY WITH SNOWFALL RATES OF 3 TO 5 INCHES PER HOUR
LIKELY AS OVER-LAKE INSTABILITY REMAINS EXTREME WITH EQUILIBRIUM
LEVEL UP TO 12K FEET. THE HEAVIEST PORTION OF THE BAND WILL
OSCILLATE SOME AND MAY NUDGE AT TIMES INTO WATERTOWN...BUT FOR
THE MOST PART THE HEAVIEST SNOW WILL FOCUS ACROSS THE TUG HILL. A
DEFINITE NORTHWARD MOVEMENT TO THE LAKE BAND WILL TAKE PLACE BY
SATURDAY AFTERNOON AS THE LOW LEVEL FLOW BACKS TO THE SOUTHWEST.

WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE AN ISSUE THROUGH SATURDAY WITH GUSTS OF
35 TO 40 MPH POSSIBLE AT TIMES. THIS WILL CREATE PROBLEMS FROM
BLOWING SNOW ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA.

TEMPERATURES TONIGHT WITHIN THE DEEPENING COLD AIRMASS WILL FALL
BACK INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS OUTSIDE OF THESE LAKE BANDS. WITH
WINDS STILL GUSTY WIND CHILLS WILL AGAIN DROP TOWARDS DANGEROUSLY
LOW READINGS...WHERE VALUES MAY NEAR 15 BELOW ZERO AT TIMES.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
PROLONGED LAKE EFFECT EVENT WILL COME TO CONCLUSION SATURDAY NIGHT.
RISING HEIGHTS ALOFT WITH A SURFACE HIGH NOSING INTO SOUTHERN NEW
YORK WILL HELP TO LOWER THE CAPPING INVERSION LEVEL AND INTRUDE MORE
DRY AIR. STEERING FLOW ENDS UP ON A 240 DIRECTION OR SO BY SATURDAY
NIGHT. THE LAKE ERIE BAND WILL DRIFT NORTH ACROSS THE BUFFALO METRO
AREA BY SATURDAY NIGHT...AND THE LAKE ONTARIO BAND WILL END UP
ACROSS THE WATERTOWN AREA. AS THE LAKE PARAMETERS BECOME LESS
FAVORABLE TOWARD AND AFTER MIDNIGHT...EXPECT THE BANDS WILL SLOWLY
DISSIPATE.

A SHARP SHORT WAVE TROUGH WILL THEN PIVOT ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA
ON MONDAY...BRING A BRIEF PERIOD OF STRONG QG FORCING ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA. EXPECT A WIDESPREAD LIGHT SNOWFALL DURING THE DAY
MONDAY AS THIS WAVE APPROACHES AND PASSES UPSTATE NEW YORK. SNOWFALL
AMOUNTS FOR THIS GENERAL SNOW EVENT WILL BE AROUND A COUPLE TO A FEW
INCHES FOR MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA. HIGH TEMPERATURES ON MONDAY
WILL MAINLY BE IN THE MID 20S ACROSS AS THIS RELATIVELY MILD AIR
STAYS IN PLACE AHEAD OF THE SHORTWAVE.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
SHALLOW COLD AIR MASS WILL SETTLE ACROSS THE REGION TUESDAY BEHIND
THE MONDAY NIGHT SHORTWAVE PASSAGE...WITH A SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE
CENTERED OVER UPSTATE NEW YORK BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
HAVE LOWERED TEMPERATURES CONSIDERABLY FOR TUESDAY / TUESDAY NIGHT
WITH THIS FORECAST UPDATE. HIGH TEMPERATURES ON TUESDAY MAY STRUGGLE
TO GET OUT OF THE SINGLE DIGITS...AND LOWS TEMPERATURES TUESDAY
NIGHT IN THE NORTH COUNTRY WILL LIKELY DIP INTO THE TEENS BELOW
ZERO. THIS CONSIDERABLE COOL DOWN ON TUESDAY WILL THANKFULLY BE
SHORT LIVED...AS HIGH TEMPERATURES CLIMB BACK TO AROUND THE FREEZING
MARK BY THE END OF THE WEEK. FROM TUESDAY ON...THE WEATHER WILL BE
FAIRLY QUIET WITH NOT MUCH TO SPEAK OF IN TERMS OF PRECIPITATION
CHANCES...AS BENIGN FLOW AND DRIER AIR REMAIN IN PLACE.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THROUGH SATURDAY...BANDS OF LAKE EFFECT SNOW WILL CONTINUE OFF LAKES
ERIE AND ONTARIO WITH VLIFR TO IFR CONDITIONS FOUND WITHIN THEIR
CORES.

OFF LAKE ERIE...THE MAIN LAKE SNOW BAND WILL LARGELY REMAIN SITUATED
BETWEEN KBUF AND KJHW OVERNIGHT...BEFORE LIFTING NORTHEASTWARD
ACROSS THE KBUF TERMINAL DURING SATURDAY. THIS STATED...SOME BRIEF
REDUCTIONS TO MVFR/IFR COULD STILL AFFECT KJHW FOR A TIME OVERNIGHT.

OFF LAKE ONTARIO...THE MAIN LAKE BAND SHOULD REMAIN LARGELY SOUTH
OF THE KART TERMINAL OVERNIGHT...BEFORE LIFTING NORTHWARD ACROSS
KART DURING SATURDAY.

OUTSIDE OF THE MAIN LAKE BANDS...EXPECT GENERAL VFR CONDITIONS TO
PREVAIL THROUGH SATURDAY...WITH REDUCTIONS TO MVFR POSSIBLE IN
BLOWING SNOW OR SCATTERED LIGHTER SNOW SHOWERS.

SATURDAY NIGHT...ANY LINGERING LAKE SNOWS AND ATTENDANT REDUCTIONS
NORTHEAST OF THE LAKES SHOULD COME TO AN END...WITH VFR OTHERWISE
PREVAILING.

OUTLOOK...
SUNDAY...MAINLY VFR WITH A CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS EAST OF LAKE
ONTARIO AND LOCAL MVFR.
MONDAY...MVFR WITH A CHANCE OF SNOW.
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
AS OF 03Z...HAVE DROPPED THE REMAINING GALE WARNINGS FOR CENTRAL
AND EASTERN LAKE ONTARIO. IN THEIR PLACE...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY
LEVEL WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE ON THE LAKES THROUGH MOST OF
THE WEEKEND.

THE STRONG WINDS ALONG WITH VERY COLD TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO
PRODUCE HEAVY FREEZING SPRAY INTO THE EARLY OVERNIGHT HOURS. A HEAVY
FREEZING SPRAY WARNING WILL CONTINUE ON BOTH LAKES TONIGHT.

SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL CONTINUE ON THE NIAGARA RIVER THROUGH AT
LEAST SATURDAY.
