Area forecast discussion, Jan 26, 4:11 AM EST, 24 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
411 AM EST Thu Jan 26 2017
.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure will pass north of Lake Ontario and down the Saint
Lawrence Valley today, ushering in a significant change to our
current weather pattern. Scattered rain showers will mix with some
snow late in the day, especially across higher terrain in the
Southern Tier and the Tug Hill Plateau region. Mid winter
conditions will return behind a cold front later tonight and into
Friday with heavy lake effect snows expected east of the lower Great
Lakes through the weekend.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Scattered rain showers will precede and accompany the passage of a
cold front today as its attendant low pressure passes eastward to
the north of Lake Ontario.
Winds will swing from the southwest to westerly and direct the moist
flow along the ridges and hills east of Lakes Erie and Ontario.
850mb temps will fall following the passage of the cold front, from
near 0C along the front to -7C by this afternoon and -10C by late
tonight. The dropping boundary layer temperatures will elicit a
moderate lake effect response, mainly later tonight, with several
inches of snow accumulation over hills east of the lakes. Lake
Effect Snow Warnings which are in effect from this afternoon or
tonight will probably not get really active until late tonight when
the colder air arrives. Higher sun angle at this time of year and
lack of an energetic response from the lake effect will limit
snowfall accumulations during today.
High temperatures today will reach the mid to upper 30s over the
lake plains and lower to mid 30s across higher terrain, and these
high temps will occur early in the day, prior to the cold frontal
passage. Low temps tonight will be quite chilly compared to the
recent overnight lows, with readings in the 20s for most locations
and the low 30s immediately adjacent to the Great Lakes.
&&
.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
This period will feature an extended period of lake snows.
Low pressure which pushed a cold front across the region Thursday
will exit northeast into Quebec and become absorbed by a secondary
low by Friday. This system will then slowly wobble around northern
Quebec and Labrador into the weekend. At upper levels, a 500 mb
trough centered over Quebec and the eastern Great Lakes Friday will
remain anchored over the region through the weekend. Overall,
cyclonic flow and colder air filtering into the region will generate
periods of snow and a return to more seasonal temperatures across
western and north central New York.
Lake influences become the primary focus during this period, as
colder mid level temperatures continue to slowly filter into the
lower Great Lakes. However, lake effects with be marginal through
Friday as 850 mb temperatures only fall to around -10c. The lake
snows Friday will be hindered some by some mid level dry air and
marginal over-lake instability as lake induced equilibrium levels
linger around 7k feet.
Lake effect potential increases greatly beyond this point, as 850 mb
temperatures cool further to between -12c and -14c, which will
increase lake equilibrium levels to over 9k feet.
Current profiles suggesting that lake snows will meander through the
period, with several periods where moderate to heavy lake snows will
be likely. During the Friday and Friday night period, the bulk of
the lake snows will be focused on a mean westerly flow region,
confining the activity to the traditional snow belts south and east
of Buffalo off Lake Erie and across the Tug Hill off Lake Ontario.
The greatest storm totals will be across the typical snow belts
across the Western Southern Tier and into Southern Erie county, and
the Tug Hill. In some of these areas storm totals in excess of 2
feet are possible, though these totals are four day storm totals.
Wind will also be a factor, especially early in the event when wind
gusts downwind of the lakes reach 40 mph resulting in areas of
blowing snow.
In addition, model consensus suggests the flow will shift to the
southwest ahead of a shortwave on Saturday which may push heavy lake
effect snows into the Buffalo metro area. Because of this a lake
effect snow watch was issued for Northern Erie and Genesee counties.
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
For the Saturday night through Monday time period our region will
remain active, with several shortwave troughs refreshing a cold
airmass over the region...an airmass that will become cold enough to
support lake effect snow. The shortwaves will alter the low level
wind field through the period, allowing the lake effect bands to
oscillate...but a general northwest flow will make the Southern
Tier/Ski Country as well as SE and E of Lake Ontario prime real
estate for accumulating lake snows...that could become significant.
Temperatures at 850 hPa will average -10 to -13C below zero Saturday
night and Sunday supporting lake effect snow off lakes that are
around +2C (Erie) and +5-6C (Ontario). Lake induced equilibrium
levels will rise to around 10K feet and with the shortwaves bringing
increased synoptic moisture lake effect snow bands will become
strong.
Sunday and into Monday temperatures will drop to around -15 to -19C
over the region, bringing what will be the chilliest day this
period. Along this arctic front boundary synoptic snow will be
likely, and will have likely pops to account for this. An upper
level ridge will near the region Monday night, and this feature will
likely end the lake effect snow through Monday night.
By Tuesday behind the ridge axis, much warmer air aloft will briefly
squeeze northward...ending any lingering snow east of Lake Ontario
early in the day, and likely providing a brief period of dry
weather. Another shortwave will near the region late in the day
Tuesday, with highest pops closer to the upper level support across
our northern zones. This feature will bring additional light snow to
the region Tuesday afternoon and Tuesday night before ushering
another round of arctic air to begin the month of February. Behind
this feature there will be chances for additional lake effect snow
Wednesday east and southeast of the lakes.
Temperatures will be cooler than normal Sunday and Monday,
especially Monday behind the arctic front. Warming aloft behind the
ridge axis will bring temperatures to around or just above freezing
Tuesday and Wednesday.
&&
.AVIATION /09Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Expect MVFR conditions with scattered rain showers overnight as
a surface low passes north of Lake Ontario and a cold front
crosses the forecast area. Brisk southwesterly flow behind the
front will also develop. It is also worth noting that there will
be a brief period where LLWS may be an issue, as the low-level
jet strengthens immediately ahead of the approaching cold front.
Look for widespread MVFR conditions on Thursday as southwest flow
gives way to upslope westerly flow, generating light rain and some
snow showers, particularly across areas east of the lakes.
Cigs/vsbys may deteriorate to IFR in these showers, particularly
across higher terrain of the Southern Tier/North Country. The precip
will likely change over to all snow across the Southern Tier after
00Z Friday.
Outlook...
Thursday night...MVFR/IFR with rain and snow showers changing to
lake effect snow showers.
Friday to Monday...VFR/MVFR with IFR in lake effect snow
showers.
&&
.MARINE...
Higher winds will be arriving behind a cold front, requiring a long
duration Small Craft Advisory lasting into the weekend. Stronger
flow over the eastern half of Lake Ontario have lead to the issuance
of a Gale Watch for tonight into Friday night.
