Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
925 AM EST Sun Dec 25 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
Clouds will remain through the first half of today across much of
the region, with dry weather expected for most of the area. High
pressure will allow for some sunshine to return this afternoon. Dry
weather will last through tonight before a cold front brings a few
rain showers on Monday. The rain may begin as a brief period of
freezing rain in areas inland from the Great Lakes before
temperatures warm significantly Monday afternoon.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
The brief period of light snow showers that developed earlier this
morning east of Lake Ontario along a backdoor cold front have ended.
This leaves the entire area dry, with dry weather lasting into this
evening. Overcast skies will remain for the bulk of the area through
early afternoon, with the exception of the Saint Lawrence Valley
where clearing is progressing quickly southward.

By afternoon the winds will veer more easterly and help to scour out
low level moisture, first across the North Country and Central NY,
and last across Western NY. This should provide a mostly sunny
afternoon for eastern areas, and some partial sunshine late in the
day across Western NY. A shallow inversion will remain in place
today which will limit mixing, keeping highs in the lower 30s across
most of Western NY. The North Country will remain in a colder
airmass, with highs in the mid 20s.

Southeast winds overnight will bring a warming to the region with
downslope adiabatic warming. Overnight temperatures will be in the
mid to upper 30s for the most part, although there will be mid to
upper 20s east of Lake Ontario. There may be some light freezing
rain along the leading edge of the rain, across the Southern Tier,
between 05AM and 09AM. Will have to watch the temps there closely.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
Deep surface low over Northern Minnesota Monday morning will fill as
it tracks northeast to just north of Lake Superior by Monday night.
This will lift a warm front through the area and place us in the
warm sector with robust warm air advection aided by a 60 to 70 knot
low level jet. Expect temperatures Monday to surge into the lower to
mid 50s across western New York and into the 40s east of the Genesee
Valley. The chance of light precipitation will increase during the
morning hours of Monday and into Monday evening as higher theta-e
air overspreads the area within the strong south to southwest low
level jet in advance of this storm system and increasing isentropic
ascent along and north of the warm front. With a cold pocket of low
level air in place, some of the initial light precipitation may fall
as some light freezing rain, particularly across the Southern Tier
and east of the Genesee Valley, any glazing during the onset of this
light precipitation should be minimal, but the evolution of this
will need to be monitored. Outside of this threat, the precipitation
type will be rain into Monday night. Winds could become a concern
with such a strong jet just above the surface. Profiles showing a
strong inversion at 925 mb which will keep higher winds from
reaching the surface. Bufkit momentum transfer scheme suggesting
possible gusts of 40 to 45 mph, or just under advisory criteria. The
warm temperatures, rainfall and any associated snowmelt and runoff
bring about some concerns for a risk of ice jams which are further
detailed in the Hydrology section below.

The passage of a cold front late Monday night will spread in colder
air. As the cold air deepens the rain will start mixing with snow,
especially across the higher terrain Tuesday morning. The cold air
advection pattern will allow some stronger wind gusts to reach the
surface as a 45 to 50 knot low level jet lingers over the region,
with another period of 40 to 45 mph wind gusts possible Tuesday.
Temperatures will slip back through the 40s an bottom out within a
few degrees of freezing Tuesday morning.

Temperatures will return to normal levels on Tuesday, not rising out
of the 30s as cold air advection returns across the region in the
wake of the cold front. 850 mb temperatures falling to around -10c
will become marginally cold enough for some lake effect by late
Tuesday. Models continue to indicate that deeper synoptic moisture
and more favorable profiles for snow production will be found across
and east of Lake Ontario, where higher probabilities for snow
showers will exist through Tuesday night. Lower chances for snow
will be found east of Lake Erie, where synoptic moisture will be
much more shallow and better favor lake effect clouds and possible
drizzle or freezing drizzle. The better potential for some limited
snow off Lake Erie looks to come Tuesday night where lake induced
equilibrium levels peak above 5k feet and reach into the dendritic
snow growth zone. Low temperatures Tuesday night will slip back into
the mid 20s area wide.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Any lingering lake effect snow showers should come to an end
Wednesday morning as surface ridging moves overhead and surface flow
backs to the south in the afternoon ahead of our next system, a
negatively tilted upper level trough that will dig across the Great
Lakes on Thursday. This system will likely bring a mixture of rain
and snow showers to the forecast area Thursday, however of greater
significance will be the resurgence of lake effect snows Thursday
night into Friday night.

Current guidance displays good agreement and consistency in
developing a favorable setup across the lower Great Lakes, with an
upper level jet streak diving across the Ohio Valley, placing the
lower Great Lakes in a synoptically favorable left exit region of
the jet. Well-aligned cyclonic westerly flow with abundant synoptic
moisture and 850mb temps falling to around -12C will set the stage
for potential warning-level snows across the western Southern Tier,
and in particular, east/southeast of Lake Ontario. This threat has
been highlighted in the Hazardous Weather Outlook.

Regarding temperatures, a cool air within the departing upper level
trough will keep temperatures on the cool side Wednesday, with
temperatures topping out around or just below the freezing mark.
Temperatures will change little Wednesday night though as the cool
air departs and warm advection takes over ahead of the approaching
trough, with temperatures climbing to just above average on
Thursday, with highs in the mid to upper 30s. Readings will fall
into the 20s Thursday night as cold advection takes hold across the
region with the arrival of the upper level trough. Friday will feel
much more winter-like, with highs in the 20s.

&&

.AVIATION /15Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Low stratus will remain through midday with MVFR CIGS lower
elevations and IFR CIGS higher terrain across the Southern Tier. The
low clouds will then scatter out by midday across Central NY and the
North Country, and during the later afternoon across Western NY with
flight conditions returning to VFR for the late afternoon through
tonight as high pressure briefly builds into the area.

Outlook...

Monday and Monday night...Rain showers likely, possibly starting as
brief freezing rain inland from the lakes. Areas of MVFR/IFR.

.MARINE...
North winds will become northeast and increase today, with Small
Craft Advisory conditions continuing along the south shore of Lake
Ontario. The east winds will continue through tonight before
becoming more southerly on Monday as a warm front moves across the
Lower Great Lakes.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
On Monday...a warm front is forecast to cross the region with a
brief period of warmer temperatures and light rainfall amounts
on the order of a tenth to a quarter inch, with a little higher
amounts possible in a few upslope areas. Based on these expected
conditions, this is not likely to cause any flooding on most
waterways even with the addition of snowmelt. However, there are
some ice jams which are in place on some of the Buffalo area
creeks. For the most part, the ice within these jams is thin and
thus more likely to break up quickly when water rises. These ice
jams will have to be monitored Monday when creek levels rise due
to the rain and snow melt.
