Area Forecast Discussion

253 PM EST Fri Feb 3 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
A seasonably cold mid-winter airmass will remain in place across
our region right through the upcoming weekend. This will lead to
continued significant lake effect snows east of Lake Ontario...
while more nuisance-type snows will be found east of Lake Erie.
Otherwise snow showers and flurries will be much more scattered
across the region...with temperatures averaging out a bit below
normal.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Main focus this afternoon and tonight will be the lake effect
band east of Lake Ontario. Snow rates are expected to continue
occasionally exceed 3"/hr in the heart of the band through this
afternoon. The band will then weaken a little this evening as it
reorients itself as winds veer a little as a shortwave trough
passes by, with the coldest air aloft moving overhead later
tonight. Flow eventually become WNW and will create a short-
duration lake effect event over the northwest half of Wayne
County along with Northern Cayuga and Western Oswego County. As
is often the case, the band may appear underwhelming from a
radar standpoint overnight...but with continued upstream
connections, abundant synoptic moisture, and ample
instability, expect the band to produce continued snow rates
that warrant a warning for these areas. Current forecasts of
6-12 in about 12 hours seem reasonable...but amounts could be
higher if the band moves little once it reestablishes itself
overnight. Bands like this often take on an anti-cyclonic look
as the mid lake portion of the band starts to move (Sat AM) while
steady-state inflow and lift within the band keep the snow in
place near KFZY.

Meanwhile, the band will have shifted south of Lewis and
Jefferson Counties overnight. While the band is expected to
return, probably in a weakened state on Saturday, there will be
a roughly 12 hr period where no snow is expected under this
section of the warning area. Experimental polygons tell the
story well together our snow rate graphics online.

On Saturday...the expansive high over the Nation's midsection
will move generally due east...and local flow overhead will
begin to back. Drying aloft and a lowering inversion will help
to weaken the band as it moves back to the north...although
rates may still be impressive closer to the lake and in upslope
regions/west side of the Tug. Later in the afternoon, the band
should continue to weaken or end altogether.

As is often the case, other portions of the Southern Ontario
shoreline may occasionally experience snow showers. Some of this
could briefly be heavy...but at this time do not expect any long
lasting high impacts, particularly now well into the winter
season where transitory bands are commonplace in this area.

East of Lake Erie...will continue to downplay lake effect snow
threats here with moisture stuck below about 4000'. There may be
a period later this afternoon and evening where some semblance
of a lake response shows up on radar, but can not see anything
more than a few inches for any significant length of time due
to the overall weak nature expected for this afternoon/tonight
as fetch shortens with flow becoming WNW.

Light snow...more of an upslope event...may continue later
tonight into Saturday. Like Lake Ontario...expect a weakening
area of snow to attempt to move north, but it too will fight an
increasingly hostile environment with even drier air aloft and
a lowering inversion.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Saturday night...surface-based ridging will remain anchored along or
just offshore of the Carolina coastline...while a weak clipper system
pushes across Lake Superior and into central Ontario Province. The
rapidly backing and increasingly sheared low level flow between these
two systems will send the remains of the Lake Ontario lake snows
northward across Watertown to the Saint Lawrence Valley...where these
will finally succumb to the aforementioned shear overnight. Otherwise
the remainder of the region can experience a largely dry night with
increasing cloud cover out ahead of the approaching clipper...with
just a low chance for some of its snow showers reaching the Niagara
Frontier and Saint Lawrence Valley late. Expect nighttime lows to
range between the upper teens and lower 20s...with the warm advection
regime out ahead of the clipper then resulting in temps rising into
the mid and upper 20s across far western New York overnight.

Sunday into Sunday evening the clipper will deepen a bit while sliding
by to our north across central Ontario and Quebec...with its trailing
cold front crossing our region between late Sunday afternoon and early
Sunday evening. This system will be accompanied by enough synoptic
forcing and moisture to generate a round of scattered to numerous light
snow showers as it passes through our region...with these more likely/
numerous east of the lakes where a combination of upsloping and weak
lake enhancement will provide a little bit of an added boost. East of
Lake Erie this enhancement could result in a couple inches of snow...
while areas east of Lake Ontario could see as much as 2-4 inches.
Elsewhere...any accumulations should be relatively minimal and on the
order of an inch or less.

Following the passage of this system...another quick shot of colder
air will settle across our region for the remainder of Sunday night
and Monday morning on a general westerly to west-northwesterly flow.
While this will result in some additional lake effect snows downwind
of the lakes...these should largely be of the nuisance variety due to
limited synoptic-scale moisture and a relatively low cap of 3-5 kft...
which will be lowest over and downwind of Lake Erie. Thus...expect any
additional accumulations through Monday morning to be on the order of
a few inches at most...before the lake snows lift back north and fall
apart altogether Monday afternoon on a backing and increasingly sheared
low level wind field.

With respect to temperatures Sunday through Monday...these will actually
average out a little above normal...mainly thanks to the milder air the
clipper will advect into our region during Sunday...when afternoon highs
are expected to range in the mid to upper 30s. After that...lows Sunday
night will lie between the upper teens and mid 20s...with highs in the
mid 20s to lower 30s then following on Monday.

During the last 24 hours of this period...our attention will then turn
to what appears to be a strong cutter-type system that will make its way
from the Central Plains to Lower Michigan. The strong warm air advection
regime out ahead of this system will spread increasing amounts of warmth
and moisture into our system Monday night and Tuesday...which should
eventually lead to the development of fairly widespread precipitation
during the day on Tuesday. Given increasingly favorable moisture and
forcing have boosted PoPs notably for both Monday night and Tuesday from
continuity...with these reaching lower-end categorical in most places by
Tuesday.

Given the influx of warmer air first aloft and then at the surface that
will be likely out ahead of this system...we can expect that the precip
will initially start off as snow Monday night...before mixing with and/
or transitioning to rain between Tuesday (and Tuesday night) as the
atmospheric column steadily warms. While such a transition would probably
feature a wintry mix with sleet and freezing rain in at least some areas...
at this still somewhat-distant juncture feel it is best to keep the
forecast more general with a mix of rain and snow for now...especially
in light of the difficulties the guidance has had in pinning down the
track of this system the past few days. Once this becomes more certain...
such details in ptype can be added to the forecast with better overall
confidence.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
00z model consensus shows a deepening low pressure will track across
the Midwest states to the central Great Lakes on Tuesday then just
northwest of Buffalo on Tuesday night and Wednesday. This is a
favorable track for snow changing over to rain as warm air is
advected north across New York along with a potential gusty wind
event. More specific details such as timing of the precip changeover
including a chance of a short window of mixed wintry precip, will
be ironed out as model guidance better aligns the the coming days.
Have centered the highest POPs Tuesday into Wednesday coincident with
the passing of the low and its associated warm/cold fronts.

Temperatures on Monday will run near early February normals topping
out in the upper 20s to around 30 across western NY with low to mid
20s east of Lake Ontario. Temperatures have a chance of making a run
at 40 degrees Tuesday into Wednesday as 925mb temps warm to around
+10C ahead of the systems cold front. While it is still too early to
be highly certain, The cold front looks to allow for mixing of
higher winds from a 50+ kt jet on Wednesday. Local high wind
potential impact tables show early indications that this could bring
advisory level or even limited warning level wind gusts Wednesday.
The strong cold front will then usher in some Arctic sourced air for
Thursday as 925mb temps fall back to around -15C. This will lead to
highs not reaching out of the 20s and even the teens for some on
Thursday along with a potential return to some lake effect snow if
sufficient synoptic moisture is present.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Cold westerly flow means continued lake-effect snows east of both
Lakes Erie and Ontario this evening. The Lake Ontario band will
be far more impressive. Interestingly, none of the TAF locations
will be impacted by the heaviest snows. While LIFR conditions
are expected in the Ontario band as it moves South toward FZY
overnight...most TAF areas should remain MVFR or VFR. On
Saturday...the Ontario band will begin to move back to the
north...but will die off before it reaches KART. East of Lake
Ontario, KJHW may briefly drop into IFR, but MVFR conditions are
expected for the majority of the time.

Outlook...
Saturday night...VFR.
Sunday...VFR/MVFR with scattered snow showers...though IFR/MVFR
will be possible in more numerous snow showers east of the
lakes.
Monday...Mainly VFR.
Tuesday...MVFR/IFR with some rain and snow showers likely.
Wednesday...mvfr...possibly with strong winds.

.MARINE...
Brisk westerly winds will persist across the Lower Great Lakes
right through Saturday. With this in mind...small craft advisories
remain in effect as outlined below.
