Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
918 AM EST Mon Dec 19 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
Some limited lake effect snow will continue east of the lakes today
before ending this evening. High pressure will then bring a period
of dry weather and warming temperatures Tuesday and Wednesday. Weak
low pressure will then move through the Great Lakes on Thursday with
a chance of some light rain or wet snow. Benign weather will
continue through Christmas Day providing good travel conditions for
the holiday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
A strong ridge of high pressure will build into the Ohio Valley and
Lower Great Lakes today and remain in place through tonight. Despite
the strong high, some very limited lake effect will be able to
continue through this evening. Lake induced equilibrium levels
remain around 5-6K feet today before crashing even lower this
evening. Despite the low cap, the cold airmass will provide enough
low level instability over the lake to generate some weak lake
effect. The favorable temperature range for dendritic crystal growth
will also be found beneath the shallow inversion, allowing for large
fluffy flakes to develop which accumulate efficiently.

Off Lake Erie...

Radar shows an area of lake effect snow moving mostly east into the
Lake Erie shoreline south of Metro Buffalo as AMDAR and 12Z
soundings below the cap at about 820mb is mostly westerly.  Forecast
925mb flow is WSW, and although the current band will lose its lake
connection, another band may be able to regenerate later today and
work its way up toward the Buffalo region.  With less fetch, more
shear, and cooler waters along the lake shores, do not expect a
repeat like friday when the band had more fetch centered over the
middle of the warmest section of the lake per satellite
observations.

The lake effect snow will then gradually weaken through the
afternoon as the inversion begins to lower and moisture shallows
out. Whatever remains of the scattered flurries and light snow
showers will focus on the Buffalo Metro Area early this evening
before ending by late evening as the inversion crashes below 4K feet.

Additional accumulations will only be an inch or two today along the
Lake Erie shore from Lackawanna southward into Chautauqua County.
The weak, anticyclonically curved flow and dry airmass will keep the
snow confined fairly close to the lake.

Off Lake Ontario...

A new band is attempting to form over Lake Ontario this morning.
With low level westerly flow, this may intensify a little, although
capped at about 850mb.  By mid afternoon the lake effect snow will
continue east and move into Jefferson County, where it will remain
through early evening. Boundary layer flow averaging 230 degrees
suggests most of the accumulating snow will be just north of
Watertown, from Cape Vincent to Theresa. Expect accumulations of 2-3
inches in this area from early to mid afternoon through this
evening, with a dusting to an inch as far south as Watertown.

Lake effect will then steadily weaken in place overnight as the
inversion lowers further, with any remaining flurries and scattered
light snow showers ending before daybreak.

Outside of lake effect areas, expect partly sunny skies downwind of
the lake bands and mostly sunny skies between the lake bands. It
will remain cold today with highs in the lower 20s in most areas,
and mid to upper teens across higher terrain.

Skies will become mainly clear in most areas tonight, with some lake
effect clouds lingering northeast of the lakes in southwest flow.
Expect lows in the mid to upper teens northeast of the lakes under
the lake effect clouds, with upper single digits to lower teens from
the interior Southern Tier to Lewis County. These lows will likely
occur late this evening, with increasing southwest flow overnight
allowing for more mixing and slowly rising temperatures late tonight.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
Tuesday will bring dry, yet breezy conditions across the region as
high pressure noses into the region from the Ohio Valley. A strong
Pacific wave currently coming ashore in British Columbia will track
across southern Ontario on Tuesday into southern Quebec Tuesday
night. Surface pressure falls ahead of this robust wave will
increase the pressure gradient across the region between the high to
our south and the low to our north. Fortunately we will be in a warm
advective pattern, which will limit the overall severity of the
winds across the region. Models are in good agreement on a core of
45 to 50 knot 925mb winds cross the lower Great Lakes Tuesday
afternoon and early evening. These stronger winds make sense with
the tightening pressure gradient and increasing ageostrophic
acceleration toward deepening low to the north. The warm advective
pattern will limit the low level lapse rates and reduce the overall
mixing of higher momentum air to the surface. The lower Great Lakes
may see winds up to gale strength (35kts sustained), and would not
rule out some Niagara Frontier lake shore counties possibly seeing
some stronger wind gusts to advisory level (45 to 50 mph).
Otherwise, inland counties should see just a breezy day with little
impact. High temperatures will reach the upper 20s to low 30s, which
returns us closer to seasonal normals.

Winds will diminish Tuesday night as the surface low quickly tracks
into eastern Quebec and the pressure gradient across the region
relaxes. The weak cold front associated with the passing shortwave
to our north will be dragged through the North Country Tuesday
night. This is a moisture starved front, but with 850 mb
temperatures falling to -8 to -10C, would not rule out a few
scattered lake enhanced snow showers across the Tug Hill on the
westerly flow lingering into the day Wednesday. Otherwise, it will
remain a dry night across the region. Low temperatures will be in
the 20s. With weak ridging building in on Wednesday, it will remain
dry with highs into the low to mid 30s.

Another Pacific wave will arrive on Thursday, tracking a bit further
south than the wave that will arrive on Tuesday, along with a bit
better moisture. Global models are in good agreement with shifting
the track of the surface low such that it remains just north of Lake
Ontario. This will keep the best synoptic forcing and shield of
precipitation north of us, across southern Ontario province. Would
not rule out a few showers with the as the baroclinic zone waves
across the region with the parent shortwave passage, however these
should be widely scattered and of little consequence. In the cold
advection behind the wave, with some lingering synoptic moisture,
and 850 mb temps dropping below -8C, expect we would actually see
the most precipitation from the lake response east of the lakes late
Thursday. However, this lake effect would be short duration as high
pressure quickly builds back in by the second half of Thursday night
into Friday morning.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
The overall pattern becomes flatter and more progressive into the
weekend. The cold temperatures will become locked further north,
and we will see a return to fairly normal temperatures through the
holiday weekend, which puts daytime highs in the mid 30s and night
time lows in the 20s. A weak passing shortwave may bring a few
showers to the region for Christmas eve. Models are coming into
better agreement on a large low pressure system deepening the
central plains Christmas Day and tracking toward the upper Great
Lakes Christmas night. This could lift mixed precipitation northward
across the region on warm frontal boundary, while bringing a surge
of mild temperatures briefly into our region for Monday.

&&

.AVIATION /14Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Lake effect snow showers will continue east of Lake Erie today with
local IFR. Snow will initially stay just south of KBUF through early
to mid afternoon, with a few light snow showers and MVFR possibly
reaching KBUF during the late afternoon and early evening, before
ending by late evening. Lake effect over the middle of Lake Ontario
this morning will move to the northeast end of the lake this
afternoon with local IFR conditions. Some of this may clip KART from
mid afternoon through early evening, with more persistent snow
expected just north of KART. This lake effect snow will gradually
weaken and end overnight.

Outside of lake effect areas VFR will prevail as strong high
pressure builds into the area today and tonight.

Outlook...
Tuesday through Wednesday...VFR.
Thursday...MVFR with rain or snow likely.
Friday...VFR/MVFR with a chance of snow showers.

&&

.MARINE...
High pressure will build over the Lower Great Lakes today and bring
a brief period of lighter winds. The high will settle into the Mid
Atlantic States tonight through Wednesday. Meanwhile low pressure
will move east across northern Ontario and Quebec Tuesday and
Tuesday night. The increasing pressure gradient between the
departing high and the low to the north of the Great Lakes will
bring increasing southwest winds tonight through the middle of the
week, bringing another round of Small Craft Advisory conditions. The
winds will peak Tuesday afternoon and evening, possibly reaching low
end gales at the northeast end of Lake Erie and west end of Lake
Ontario.

...A BAND OF LAKE EFFECT SNOW WILL AFFECT THE LAKESHORE ALONG
SOUTHWESTERN ERIE AND NORTHEASTERN CHAUTAUQUA COUNTIES AND ALONG
THE CHAUTAUQUA RIDGE...

At 950 AM EST, A band of lake effect snow producing snow fall rates
of 1 TO 2 inches per hour was moving slowly into the Lake Erie
shoreline from about Lackawanna South to Westfield.  This will move
inland about 5 miles and include portions of the Boston Hills and
the Chautauqua ridge between 10 and 11 AM.  Expect little in the way
of wind, but snowflakes will be large.  This will allow for fluffy
buf brief accumulations.

Locations impacted include...
Buffalo, Lackawanna, Dunkirk, Fredonia, Hamburg, Evans, Eden,
Westfield, Small Boat Harbor and Silver Creek.

This includes Interstate 90 between exits 60 and 56.

Visibilities will drop quickly to less than a quarter of a mile in
this band of lake effect snow.
