Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
138 AM EST Tue Jan 3 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
A widespread soaking rainfall is expected after daybreak today with
temperatures surging to well above average. Tonight, cold air will
pour across the region in the wake of a front. Lake-effect snow is
then expected mainly in the snowbelts for the second half of the
week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
Two dominant low pressures are found on the surface map this morning
in a split upper level flow pattern across the eastern half of the
US. The northern low is centered over central MN and the southern
low is over TN. In between these two lows a weak trough/corridor of
frontogenesis runs from the eastern Great Lakes southwest into the
lower Ohio Valley. Radar shows the most significant returns are
found where deep moist southerly flow is interacting with this
boundary. Locally most of these showers and isolated thunderstorms
will remain just northwest of western NY this morning with just a
chance of an stray shower or sprinkle drifting by. Temperatures are
running very mild this morning with mid 30s to low 40s and rising.
There may be an isolated location on the Tug Hill which is in the
low 30s but rising temps precludes any wintry mix and associated
headlines.

After daybreak today, a widespread soaking rainfall is expected
across the entire region. The southern surface low will strengthen
while shifting north along the Appalachian range today.
Deformation and wrap-around moisture will increase across western
and central NY in response. As a shortwave nears this afternoon and
evening, the region will be in the optimal position of a coupled
upper-level jet and developing deformation zone on the backside of
the surface low. A broad area of steady moderate rain is expected to
then fill in across western and central NY this afternoon. This area
of rainfall will move through the North Country by this evening,
with western NY giving way to more scattered showery activity as a
cold front works across the region behind the low.

Temperatures Tuesday will be driven by warm advection, and moderated
by cloud cover. Look for low to mid 40s as 850 mb temperatures surge
to +5 to +6C. Dynamical cooling and cloud cover in the developing
moderate rain Tuesday afternoon will likely keep temperatures from
reaching 50F. Mid 40s are expected, though, in the lake plains
locations prone to southeasterly downslope flow.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Rain will continue Tuesday evening as a weak surface wave lifts
northeast from the Ohio Valley. This low will drag a cold front
through the region overnight as it becomes absorbed into the rapidly
deepening coastal low shifting to the Gulf of Maine. Chances of rain
drop off behind the front, as models continue to show a narrow
dry slot shifting over our region in the wake of the front.

Cold air advection ramps up during the mid week period as a deep
closed low pivots across James Bay, leading to a prolonged period of
lake effect snows across the lower Great Lakes. 850 mb temperatures
forecast to fall to between -16C and -20C which will work with at
least some wraparound synoptic moisture to promote the lake snows.
Model sounding showing lake induced equilibrium levels rising to
between 10-15k feet, peaking Thursday afternoon and night with
moisture sufficiently deep. Several short waves moving through the
flow will likely enhance the activity at times, but will also
tend to shift bands around some, perhaps leading to lake effect
snow being spraying across a wider area than under a steady flow
discouraging significant 12 hour snow accumulations. All in all,
the lake parameters are still rather impressive and should
eventually yield significant accumulations of snow over the course
of two/three days with some spots conceivably picking up more than
a foot of snow.

While it may be a challenge for single period (12 hour) snowfall
amounts to total more than 6 inches...this will be a long duration
event with a higher risk for at least 9 inches in 24 hours...which
is why we have decided to go with a lake effect snow watch at this
point. The watch will include Wednesday afternoon through Friday
afternoon for the bulk of the western southern tier (Chautauqua...
Cattaraugus...Wyoming and southern Erie Co's)...and also for the
Eastern Lake Ontario region (Jefferson...Lewis and Oswego Co's).

Outside of the lake snows...conditions should be mainly dry and cold
with lows mainly in the teens with highs in the 20s.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
Lake effect snows will continue through the end of the week
supported by the mid-level trough pivoting across the Great Lakes.
Friday night, low amplitude surface/mid-level ridging will force
lake induced equilibrium levels to crash down below 5kft while
backing steering winds lift any remnant lake snows to the north.

By the weekend, GFS and EC models show a mid level shortwave trough
crossing the Great Lakes driving a potential coastal storm off the
Mid-Atlantic but timing differences need to be resolved. Have held
onto broadbrush chances for scattered synoptic snow showers on
Saturday and Saturday night then kept chance POPs limited to
southeast of the lakes on Sunday with any possible weak lake snows
that would develop behind the trough.

In terms of temperatures, we are looking at holding below normal
through the end of the week and into the weekend. Daytime highs will
range from the teens to mid 20s while lows will be in the single
digits and low teens.

.AVIATION /07Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
MVFR cigs are in place for most sites early this morning with KJHW
down to IFR as deep moisture is moving north across the region.
There may be a few stray showers in the pre-dawn hours but steady
rain will fill in across the region from southwest to northeast
after daybreak. Cigs will become IFR at western NY sites for a good
chunk of the afternoon as the steady rain moves through. Vis will
also be IFR due to both the rain and mild air moving over the
snowpack in the Southern Tier and east of Lake Ontario generating
some patchy fog. Rain will begin to taper off to some scattered rain
and possible snow showers overnight behind a cold front mainly east
of the lakes.

Outlook...

Wednesday through Friday...Lake effect snow showers in the snowbelts
east of the lakes with MVFR/IFR. Otherwise VFR.
Saturday...VFR/MVFR with a chance of snow.

&&

.MARINE...
Easterly to southeasterly winds will freshen this morning ahead
of another low pressure system, however this should confine the
bulk of the wave action to Canadian waters. The broad and complex
low will cross the region later today into tonight. A strong cold
front associated with this system will then cross the lakes late
tonight into Wednesday, with a potential for gales on Lake Ontario
Wednesday. Thereafter, brisk westerly flow and small craft
advisory conditions will persist on the lakes into the coming
weekend as arctic air returns to the region.
