HITCHCOCK/JJR

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
317 PM EST Tue Dec 27 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
Most of our region can expect seasonable temperatures along with
some nuisance lake effect snow showers east and southeast of the
lakes through Wednesday...though these will be a bit more organized
east-southeast of Lake Ontario where several inches of snow are
expected between tonight and Wednesday morning. After that a modest
low pressure system will bring a general light snowfall to our
region later Wednesday night and Thursday...with colder weather
then following for the end of the work week...along with more
significant lake snows southeast of the lakes.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
On the synoptic scale...a modest mid level trough currently over
the Upper Great Lakes will quickly slide eastward and across our
region tonight...before heading out to sea on Wednesday. As this
feature traverses our region...an attendant surface trough over
Southern Ontario/Quebec will slide southward into Northern New
York before washing out Wednesday morning...with surface-based
high pressure and drier air over the Ohio Valley otherwise ridging
northeastward across the region during Wednesday.

For most of our region...the above will simply result in mainly
dry weather and seasonable temperatures...with just some scattered
light snow showers attendant to the aforementioned surface trough
affecting the North Country tonight. The exceptions to this will
come east and southeast of the lakes...where a general westerly to
west- northwesterly flow of colder air will help to generate some
lake effect snow showers. While the lake response has been very
muted so far with only some very weak returns noted on area radars...
this will change tonight as the passing mid level trough provides
a shot of colder air and (temporarily) somewhat deeper moisture.

The improvement in the large-scale environment will be most
pronounced over and downwind of Lake Ontario from later this
evening on through early Wednesday morning...where inversion
heights currently running around 4 kft will rise to around 8
kft...and where the deepest overall moisture will be in place.
This will allow initially weak/disorganized lake effect snow
showers across the Tug Hill to become better organized this
evening...before shifting southward into Oswego and far southern
Lewis counties overnight and early Wednesday morning as the low
level flow backs a bit more west-northwesterly. After that time...
the lake snows are expected to steadily weaken while shifting
back northward through the rest of Wednesday...as the burgeoning
surface high ushers in drier air...a lowering cap...and a
backing/increasingly sheared low level flow.

At this point...the large-scale environment and projected residence
times still look to be supportive of lower-end advisory-worthy
(4-6") accumulations across central Oswego and far southern Lewis
counties between tonight and Wednesday morning...for which a lake
effect snow advisory will be in place. Outside of the above areas...
any accums from the Lake Ontario LES should be sub-advisory in
nature...with little if any accumulation expected across most of
Jefferson county.

Meanwhile off Lake Erie...the lake response will be more muted
and shorter in duration due to a notably lower cap of only 3-5 kft
and shallower moisture...as well as the quicker arrival of drier
air and increasing shear later tonight and Wednesday. This should
result in any accumulations remaining confined to the order of an
inch or two across the ski country well south of Buffalo
tonight...with the remnants of this activity then quickly lifting
northward and falling apart altogether on Wednesday as the low
level flow backs and becomes increasingly sheared...and drier air
arrives.

Temperature-wise...under continued cold air advection lows tonight
will fall into the mid to upper 20s...with a few spots in the
Southern Tier possibly dipping into the lower 20s. Highs on Wednesday
will then be pretty seasonable for late December...with most areas
seeing readings peak in the lower to mid 30s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
Active and more wintry weather will return during this period as a
deep but progressive trough moves through the Great Lakes and
Northeast. Expect a few general periods of snow showers bringing
light snow for most, with localized heavy lake effect snow southeast
of the lakes.

Wednesday night a surface ridge along the east coast will slowly
drift east away from the area. This will keep the majority of the
night dry, with a steady increase in mid level clouds as mid level
warm advection and moisture spread east ahead of the next system.
Snow will likely reach Western NY toward daybreak on Thursday with
the approach of a strong mid level trough and cold front associated
with the next system. The increase in clouds will keep temperatures
up, with lows in the upper 20s to around 30 on the lake plains and
mid 20s across the interior Southern Tier and Lewis County.

On Thursday the longwave trough will dig into the Great Lakes. On
the leading edge, a sharp mid level shortwave will cross our region
with a period of strong DPVA, and enhanced convergence along an
occluded front. This feature will produce a period of snow for most
of the region, entering Western NY just before daybreak and reaching
the North Country by late morning. Temperatures will rise into the
mid or even upper 30s briefly, which will limit accumulations.
Expect an inch or less across lower elevations and 1-2 inches across
higher terrain, with up to 3 inches for the Tug Hill. The snow will
taper off from west to east later in the day, and a few raindrops
may even mix in across lower elevations once the steadier snow
tapers off.

Thursday night through Friday night our attention turns mainly to
lake effect, although there will be some light general snowfall as
well. From a synoptic standpoint, the mid level trough will move
east across the area Thursday night and Friday. Meanwhile secondary
cyclogenesis will take place along the New England coast Thursday
night with a rapidly deepening surface low moving north across Maine
on Friday. This system will have no direct impact on our area, but
will combine with the mid level trough to maintain a broad area of
abundant wrap around moisture and weak ascent. This will produce a
few periods of light snow outside of lake effect areas Thursday
night and Friday, with most areas seeing a dusting to an inch or two
of accumulation. It will become quite windy, especially Friday with
blowing and drifting snow in many areas. Now for the lake effect...

Off Lake Erie...

The entire event will be northwest flow, which will direct most of
the heavier snow into the higher terrain of the Chautauqua Ridge and
Boston Hills of far southern Erie County. The snow will increase
Thursday evening as lake induced equilibrium levels rise to around
12K feet and moisture deepens. The snow will then continue fairly
steady through the rest of Thursday night and much of Friday before
tapering off Friday evening as the deeper moisture pulls away and
inversion heights quickly lower.

The northwest flow will be short fetch across Lake Erie, but
forecast boundary layer winds suggest an upstream connection to Lake
Huron will develop and enhance the Lake Erie activity. Forecast
soundings show a deep layer of moisture, with a favorably deep
dendritic crystal growth layer within the lake induced mixed layer.
The moist northwest flow will be nearly perpendicular to the
Chautauqua Ridge, with upslope flow playing a critical role in
producing higher snowfall amounts.

With this in mind, we have issued a Lake Effect Snow Watch for
Chautauqua, Cattaraugus, and Southern Erie counties for Thursday
evening through Friday evening. Early estimates are for 10-15 inches
of accumulation in the most persistent snows.

Off Lake Ontario...

The entire event will be WNW flow, which will direct most of the
heavier snow into areas southeast of Lake Ontario. A secondary
trough will cross the lake Thursday evening, following that boundary
layer flow will become well aligned and lake induced equilibrium
levels will quickly rise to over 12Z feet. This should allow a band
of lake effect snow to become better organized by mid to late
evening mainly across Oswego County, with the band of snow quickly
settling a little south and focusing on southern Oswego, northern
Cayuga, and northern and eastern Wayne county later Thursday
night through Friday night. The snow will taper off later Friday
night as deeper moisture pulls away and inversion heights quickly
lower.

The northwest flow direction suggests an upstream connection to
Georgian Bay will develop at times, which often is responsible for
enhancing the Lake Ontario band under a WNW flow regime. Forecast
soundings show a deep layer of moisture and a deep dendritic crystal
growth layer, supporting heavy snow at times southeast of the
lake. With this in mind, we have issued a Lake Effect Snow Watch
for Wayne, Northern Cayuga, and Oswego counties Thursday evening
through Friday night.

In addition to the pure lake effect, some upslope, lake enhanced
snow will also be found across the Tug Hill and northwest facing
slopes of the western Adirondacks. Finally, the northwest flow will
also likely allow some lake effect snow to move onshore at the
western end of Lake Ontario, with light to moderate accumulations
possible along the lakeshore in Niagara and Orleans counties. In the
Rochester area, this flow direction tends to produce light to
moderate snow along the lakeshore near Hilton, and also in the
eastern suburbs with higher amounts staying east in Wayne County.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Following the lake effect snow, another synoptic system will race
east across the area on Saturday. Both the GFS and ECMWF show a well
defined Alberta Clipper moving through the central Great Lakes and
just north of our area. The initial warm advection and then the
trailing cold front will bring a few periods of snow to most of the
area on Saturday, with light accumulations likely. The airmass is
not overly cold behind this system, so any lake effect Saturday
night should just be limited to scattered light snow showers east of
the lakes. The limited lake effect will end Sunday morning, with
high pressure then bringing a mainly dry day.

Sunday night through early next week model guidance continues to
suggest another significant warm-up, as a trough reloads in the
Pacific Northwest and forces downstream height rises across the
east. A southern stream system will move up the east coast while a
northern stream low moves through the Western Lakes. This may bring
some light snow and mixed precip Sunday night, changing to rain
Monday and Tuesday as temperatures warm to well above normal.

Looking ahead a little farther, cold air returns by the middle of
next week. Longer range ensemble guidance suggests this will be the
start of a long term trend towards persistent winter cold and snow.
Stay tuned.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
For most areas...lingering MVFR/low VFR ceilings and mainly dry
weather will predominate through Wednesday. The exceptions to
this will be east and southeast of the lakes...where some lake
effect snow showers will develop late this afternoon and this
evening...then will persist through the overnight hours before
lifting northward and diminishing Wednesday. Within these areas...
some lower MVFR and/or IFR conditions will be likely tonight and
Wednesday...with the best potential for these found east and
southeast of Lake Ontario.

Outlook...
Thursday...MVFR/IFR in snow...mixed with a little rain.
Thursday night through Friday night...Areas of lake effect
snow and LIFR/IFR southeast of the lakes...with MVFR/IFR and
scattered to numerous snow showers elsewhere.
Saturday...Leftover lake effect snow showers ending downwind of
the lakes...with a light general snow and IFR conditions then
spreading across the region.
Sunday...VFR/MVFR with scattered lake effect snow showers
ending east of Lake Ontario.

&&

.MARINE...
A brisk westerly flow across the Lower Great Lakes will gradually
diminish from west to east tonight and Wednesday as low pressure
exits out across the Canadian Maritimes...and as high pressure
over the Central Mississippi Valley gradually builds northeastward
into our region. Until lingering advisory level winds and waves
diminish as a result of the above...small craft advisories will
remain in effect as outlined below.

Looking a bit further out into the week...another round of brisk
winds and higher waves will likely accompany the passage of a
modest low pressure system on Thursday...and will probably require
the issuance of an additional round of small craft advisories.

&&
