Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
110 AM EST Tue Dec 26 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
Heavy lake effect snows will continue east of the lakes through
Wednesday...otherwise conditions will just be largely dry with
gradually diminishing winds. Bitterly cold temperatures will
also persist through the rest of the week as arctic air remains
entrenched across our region.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
As of this writing...the Lake Erie lake snows continue to steadily
slip south in response to slow but steady backing of the low level
flow...with the activity also finally weakening some due to the
combination of a shortening fetch and a lowering cap. This has
allowed for the cancellation of the Winter Weather Advisory for
Livingston county...as the heavier lake snows have ended for that
area. Further to the south and west lake snows will continue across
the Southern Tier and extreme far southern portions of Southern Erie
and Wyoming counties overnight...with snowfall rates of 1-2 inches
per hour in the core of the snows still producing significant
accumulations and near whiteout conditions at times.

Meanwhile off our other lake...an intense band of lake effect snow
continues across the Tug Hill...and will largely remain over this
area through the balance of the night. With the full fetch of the
lake to work with and an added boost from orographic lift...expect
this band to continue to pummel the Tug Hill Region with snowfall
rates as high as 3 to 4 inches per hour for the balance of the
night...with gusty westerly winds also contributing to near whiteout
conditions at times there as well.

Outside of the main lake effect areas...it will just be cold and
windy with lows settling to around 10 above...and wind chills
dropping into the negative single digits.

Overnight, a lowering inversion and WNW flow behind the arctic front
will result in less organized multi- bands off Lake Erie with
variable but still locally heavy snows which will continue through
the day on Tuesday. The greatest additional accumulations will be
across higher terrain where upsloping will enhance snowfall rates.

Off Lake Ontario, Lake effect snows will continue to focus on the
traditional snow belt of northern Oswego, southern Jefferson and
into Lewis county including the Tug Hill plateau. Given the
persistence of this flow, storm totals of 3 to 5 feet are likely in
the snow belt with lake effect snow warnings in effect into
Wednesday. Heavy snow is occuring as a single long-axis parallel
snow band runs down the length of the lake. Snowfall rates of 3 to 4
inches an hour continue to be likely in the core of the band. This
will continue to severely impact travel on Interstate 81 through at
least Tuesday with near Blizzard conditions at times. Deep
equilibrium levels and strong winds will continue to push heavy lake
snows well inland into Lewis county and beyond.

Outside of the steady lake effect snow, dry weather will prevail but
ongoing cold air advection will result in temperatures falling to
around 10 above overnight. Coupled with lingering wind gust of 20-30
mph...this will allow wind chills to dip into the negative single
digits. Temperatures will not warm much on Tuesday with highs in the
teens.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
It will still be cold across the entire forecast area, and it will
still be snowing across portions of the forecast area as we move into
the middle of the week, as the region will remain firmly within the
grip of an Arctic airmass that shows no signs of budging for the
foreseeable future. Lake effect snows will be ongoing east of both
lakes as we move into the evening hours on Tuesday.

Bands on both lakes are now expected to shift south as flow subtly
veers to the west-northwest. While this should cause further
weakening of the Lake Erie bands, the Lake Ontario band will
continue to have access to a long fetch of low-level moisture, and
we may see some reasonably robust snowfall rates of 1-2"/hr
persisting as the band shifts south on to the south shore of Lake
Ontario. With Wayne county falling into the end of the fetch of this
band, there is a decent chance they could see warning amounts of 5-
9" Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. As such, have posted a
Winter Weather Watch for the county, while Oswego and Northern
Cayuga remain covered by the ongoing Lake Effect Warning.

Lake effect snows will continue through the day Wednesday, even as
flow takes on a more northwesterly component. This should cut down
on rates significantly, particularly on Lake Erie, where snow
showers will become increasingly scattered and disorganized. Multi-
band activity may remain more robust on Lake Ontario, particularly
if a Georgian Bay connection can emerge, as suggested by the GFS,
and it is not out of the question that we may see 2-4" of fluff
south of Lake Ontario.

Activity should become increasingly disorganized Wednesday night
before largely falling apart on Thursday, as high pressure builds
across the region from northern Ontario. Regarding temperatures, as
mentioned earlier, we will remain firmly within the grip of an
Arctic airmass, with 850mb temps dipping as low as -20C. This will
yield some of the coldest temperatures of the season so far, with
highs in the low teens, and in the single digits in the North
Country. Nighttime lows will fall into the single digits to around
zero, with the North Country, not subject to lake modification and
with clear skies at night, falling into teens below zero. This may
end up necessitating wind chill advisories for Jefferson and Lewis
counties, as only a 5-10mph breeze will be able to push wind chills
as low as -20F to -30F. Elsewhere, expected wind chills to remain in
the 0F to -10F range.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Persistent longwave troughing will remain firmly entrenched across
the region through the long term period, keeping below normal
temperatures in place through the weekend and into early next week.
Highs will only be in the teens in most areas, with temperatures
struggling to climb out of the single digits in the North Country.
Overnight lows will be in the single digits south of Lake Ontario.
With better radiational cooling in place, lows will range from zero
to fifteen below across the North Country.

Latest medium range guidance is in decent agreement handling the
arrival of a shot of northern stream shortwave energy Friday
into Friday night, which will spawn another clipper system. This
system will bring a more widespread accumulating snowfall. It
is still too early to tell potential amounts, but will need to
keep monitoring this system over the coming days as the synoptic
setup looks to be quite favorable with a negatively-tilted
shortwave trough swinging through.

Behind this system heading into the New Years holiday weekend, lake
effect regime will once again setup. Little question about over-lake
instability with 850 mb temperatures dropping into the -22C to -25C
range, with ample moisture. Only question at this point is to
the exact wind direction, with both ECMWF and GFS suggesting a
primarily northwesterly to northerly flow regime.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Through the TAF period...areas of lake effect snow and LIFR/IFR
conditions will continue east of the lakes...with these most
impacting the KJHW terminal. KART may also see some periodic
reductions to IFR/MVFR in blowing snow overnight...with some
MVFR ceilings then possible on Tuesday.

Otherwise...conditions will be largely dry and VFR through
Tuesday night with gradually diminishing winds.

Outlook...
Wednesday...Areas of lake effect snow and IFR east and
southeast of the lakes...otherwise MVFR to VFR.
Thursday...A chance of snow showers/MVFR downwind of the lakes...
otherwise mainly VFR.
Friday and Saturday...VFR/MVFR conditions with a chance of snow.

&&

.MARINE...
With the most recently issued forecast update...have extended
the Gale Warnings for Lake Erie until 4 am...based on observations
of continued sustained Gale-force winds at Dunkirk.

Low pressure will continue to exit across the Canadian Maritimes
overnight. In its wake westerly gales will continue through most if
not all of tonight...before slowly diminishing through midweek. As
such Gale Warnings remain in effect as outlined below...while Small
Craft Advisories remain in effect for the Niagara River.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
A period of strong west winds will result in high wave action
across eastern portions of Lake Ontario through early Tuesday.
This will in turn lead to the threat of shoreline erosion at the
eastern and southeastern ends of the lake...particularly in
areas where the shoreline is still unstable following the
previous high water levels from earlier in the year.

&&

.EQUIPMENT...
The KTYX WSR-88D radar at Montague, NY has suffered a motor
failure and will be out of service through 26 December 2017.

...A BAND OF LAKE EFFECT SNOW WILL AFFECT SOUTHERN WYOMING...NORTHERN
CATTARAUGUS...SOUTHEASTERN ERIE...SOUTHERN LIVINGSTON...CENTRAL
CHAUTAUQUA...NORTHERN ALLEGANY AND SOUTHWESTERN ONTARIO COUNTIES...

At 1034 PM EST, National Weather Service radar showed a band of
intense lake effect snow producing snowfall rates of up to 3 inches
per hour. This snow band was about 15 miles wide with the northern
edge extending from Brocton to Holland to Mount Morris, and the
southern edge extending from Mayville to Delevan to Nunda.

The band will continue a very slow southward drift through midnight.

This snow band will continue to hit southern portions of Erie and
Wyoming counties, as well as the western Southern Tier north of
Interstate 86 very hard through midnight.

Locations impacted include...
Dansville, Letchworth State Park, Springville, Perry, Westfield,
Mount Morris, Gowanda, Conesus, Ashford and Arcade.

This includes the following highways...

Interstate 90 between exits 59 and 61.
Interstate 390 between exits 4 and 7.

Driving within this snow band will be extremely difficult, if not
impossible with snow covered roads and visibilities down to near
zero at times.

Travel is not recommended in this area! If you must travel across
this area, slow down and allow plenty of extra time to reach your
destination.
