Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
1256 PM EST Tue Jan 3 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
A mild airmass with widespread rain will continue into the overnight
hours across the region before a cold front sweeps across the
Eastern Great Lakes...ending the rainfall and ushering in much
colder air. Westerly winds will become strong tomorrow, and lake
effect snow will become organized tomorrow afternoon east of the
lakes, with such snowbands oscillating east of the lakes into the
start of the weekend. Air temperatures will remain below normal
later Wednesday and through the weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
A widespread soaking rainfall will occur across the entire region
this afternoon. Western and Central NY will be in a squeeze play
between rain along a front approaching from the west and the
northward moving rain shield moving across PA. The southern surface
low will strengthen while shifting north along the Appalachian range
today to the eastern Great Lakes. Synoptic scale lift and advection
of an anomalously high plume of combined Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic
moisture will support a broad area of steady moderate rain filling
in across western and central NY through the late morning into this
afternoon. This area of rainfall will move through the North Country
by this evening, with western NY giving way to more showery activity
as a cold front works across the region behind the low. Total QPF is
still expected to run from about a half inch near the Southern Tier
to an inch toward the Saint Lawrence River Valley closer to where a
stationary front will linger longest. The combination of this
rainfall with some snow melt where snow pack remains will bring
about rises on rivers and creeks but levels should all remain below
action stage. There may also be some patches of fog that develop
later today in areas of remaining snowpack as the dewpoint rises
above freezing.

Temperatures will be driven by warm advection today, and moderated
by cloud cover and rainfall processes. Look for low to mid 40s as
925mb temperatures surge to +3 to +5C. Dynamical cooling and cloud
cover in the developing moderate rain this afternoon will likely
keep temperatures from reaching 50. Mid 40s are expected mainly in
the lake plains due to southeasterly downslope flow. A sharp
inversion will keep any gusty winds from a 40kt low level jet from
reaching the surface.

Tonight, the surface low which brings up the widespread rainfall
will lift across the eastern Great Lakes and merge near the
Ontario/Quebec border with low pressure crossing the upper lakes. As
this occurs a shot of arctic modified air will begin to filter
across our region behind a cold front. 850mb temps are forecast to
drop to the negative single digits by 12z Wednesday with surface
temperatures falling into the lower to mid 30s by this same time. As
the widespread rain ends overnight, it may mix with a little wet
snow across the hills of SW NYS.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
Winter will return with a vengeance Wednesday as a deep upper level
low dives across western and northern Ontario province and a
corresponding negatively trough that will dig sharply across the
Great Lakes. At the surface, this will be indicated by a strong cold
front that will plow across the forecast area during the day.
Temperatures starting out the day in the 30s will finish the day a
solid 10 degrees colder, with readings falling into the teens to
lower 20s Wednesday night. The falling temperatures will be
accompanied by strong winds as the strong cold advection and post-
frontal subsidence should have no issue bringing fairly strong winds
aloft down to the surface. Widespread gusts of 30 to 40 mph are
likely across the forecast area Wednesday afternoon into Wednesday
evening, and we may flirt with wind advisory gusts to 50 mph across
the hilltops and along the Lake Ontario shore. A gale watch has also
been issued for Lake Ontario.

Regarding precipitation, we may see a band of rain/snow showers
develop along the cold front and sweep across the forecast area
Wednesday, particularly given the very strong DPVA aloft as the
upper trough dives across the area. Any precip will rapidly change
over to snow as temperatures fall sharply behind the front. While
there may be a lull of a couple hours behind the front, owing to
post-frontal subsidence, the sharply falling 850mb temps and
reasonably well-aligned westerly flow should lead to the development
of lake-effect snows downwind of both Lakes Erie and Ontario by late
Wednesday afternoon. The 260-270 degree flow should focus lake
effect mainly south of Buffalo across the Chautauqua Ridge and the
Tug Hill respectively Wednesday night into Thursday morning before a
passing wave potentially shifts bands northwards into the Buffalo
and Watertown areas, respectively. Bands are expected to shift south
once again Thursday night into Friday as another upper level wave
passes over the area.

With a long fetch down Lake Ontario and closer proximity to wrap-
around synoptic moisture, the Tug Hill should have no problem
accumulating at least 1-2 feet Wednesday night through Friday
morning. Areas east of Lake Erie should easily see several inches of
snow, however drier air aloft and lower inversion heights should
lead to lower snow totals, and the potential movement of the bands
across the area lend a little lower confidence in warning level
snows at this point...however, should we see slightly better
synoptic moisture in future model runs, warning level snows would be
easily attainable.

Regarding temperatures, the arctic air pouring across the lakes on
Wednesday will be reinforced by several additional waves rotating
through the longwave trough that is progged to set up over the
eastern half of the country. Highs in the 20s Thursday will give way
to teens Friday with lows in the teens Thursday night and
potentially in the single digits Friday night. The brisk westerly
flow will add to the chilliness, with wind chills falling into the
single digits Wednesday night and lasting at least into Friday
morning.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Medium-range guidance indicates that the mid-winter cold should be
with us at least through the weekend, with another potent upper
level trough diving out of the Arctic and across the Great Lakes by
Saturday. This will also continue to result in lake-effect snows
downwind of the lakes through the weekend, though we may see a
little more movement in the bands, particularly as flow veers more
northwesterly Sunday in response to strong ridging upstream.

At the moment, it appears that we may see a break in the cold by
Tuesday, as the general consensus among global models is for a deep
upper low to develop over the Gulf of Alaska by Sunday, forcing
ridging downstream across the Western U.S. that eventually works its
way eastward during the early part of next week, helping to break
down the longwave trough over the East and resulting in a more zonal
flow aloft, with relatively mild Pacific air flowing eastward across
the northern half of the country.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
For the 18Z TAFs a period of rain is currently pushing eastward
across the TAF region with flight conditions lowering to MVFR...with
soon to be IFR flight conditions as the lower levels continue to
saturate and low clouds form, along with some patches of IFR
visibilities.

This period of rain will end across the TAF region between 00Z and
06Z...and should end as just plain rain, with colder air not
bringing the potential for snow until we have a lake response.

Lake effect snow will then form east of the lakes for the last 6 or
so hours of the TAF period. Better organization will be east of Lake
Ontario where a band of snow may bring IFR or lower flight
conditions to KART. A more sheared environment will produce more
disorganized snows east of Lake Erie tomorrow morning, but a band of
snow will form by late morning as low level moisture increases and a
WSW flow brings snows across Ski Country...with possible snows near
KBUF and KJHW through 18Z.

In addition to the snows...tomorrow will become windy across the TAF
region as an area of low pressure deepens considerably over Quebec,
and surface high pressure noses towards the Ohio Valley. Westerly
gusts up to 40 knots will be possible across all 5 TAF sites.

Outlook...

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

&&

.MARINE...
Easterly to southeasterly winds will freshen this morning ahead of a
low pressure system lifting across the Ohio River Valley toward the
eastern Great Lakes, however the bulk of the wave action will be
confined to Canadian waters. A low pressure system will lift across
the eastern Great Lakes 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. A Gale Watch has been issued to begin highlighting this.
Thereafter, brisk westerly flow will persist on the lakes with lake
effect snow into the coming weekend as arctic air returns to the
region.
