experience and properly equipped vessels. It is highly
recommended that mariners without the proper experience seek safe
harbor prior to the onset of gale conditions.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
1225 PM EST Mon Nov 19 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
A weak area of low pressure moving by to the south of the region
will spread some light snow into areas near the Pennsylvania state
line later this afternoon and tonight. Otherwise the rest of the
area will be mainly dry today with a ridge of high pressure in
place. A pair of clipper systems will bring a few rounds of snow
showers Tuesday through Wednesday, with some limited lake effect
snow east and southeast of the lakes. Cold temperatures will last
through Thanksgiving before warmer air arrives next weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
A weak and narrow ridge of high pressure will remain in place
across the Lower Great Lakes, and this will keep the bulk of the
region dry today through most of tonight. There will even be
some sunshine from the Niagara Frontier eastward along the south
shore of Lake Ontario through this afternoon as drier air over
southern Ontario moves eastward. The one exception will be
across the Southern Tier. Another weak wave of low pressure will
run ENE along a baroclinic zone from the central Appalachians
to southern New England. This wave will be farther south than
the one yesterday, but will still be close enough to spread
light snow into areas near the PA state line this afternoon
through the first half of tonight. The most persistent snow will
fall in southern Allegany County given the expected track, with
an inch or so of accumulation possible.

The snow near the PA state line will move east of the area later
tonight. Meanwhile a mid level trough will begin to sharpen over the
central Great Lakes tonight, and this will approach our region by
12Z Tuesday with increasing deep moisture and large scale ascent.
This will support an increasing chance of snow showers across
Western NY and the North Country very late tonight. The best chance
of snow showers before daybreak will be east of Lake Erie with some
lake enhancement beginning as lake induced equilibrium levels rise
to near 9K feet by 12Z Tuesday. Any accumulations will be very light
through daybreak Tuesday.

As the cold front moves through on Tuesday morning, snow showers
will overspread the area, with continued lake enhancement
transitioning to lake effect Tuesday afternoon Widespread snow
of around an inch is possible on Tuesday, with additional light
snow amounts from the lake effect.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...

A clipper system will dive southeast across the northern Great Lakes
and to the St. Lawrence Valley by mid morning on Wednesday, and with
it bring another cold front that will usher in the coldest air since
last winter. The clipper will bring with it some general light
synoptic snow, with some light lake effect snow following the
general light snow. Snow chances overall will increase from west to
east toward the Eastern Lake Ontario area as the best synoptic
moisture and forcing will be in place there with the clipper passing
directly overhead. As the clipper exits the area, a large Arctic
high centered over Ontario will move southeast toward the upper
Great Lakes.

Wednesday night into Thursday morning will likely bring the coldest
temperatures of the season and bottom out around the mid teens for
areas near the lakes, and in the single digits to low teens across
the higher terrain. For low temperatures on Wednesday night/Thursday
morning, most areas will have their coldest temperatures since March
and February. As the area of Arctic high pressure moves into the
northern Great Lakes, behind a departing upper level trough, cold
air advection that began on Wednesday will continue through
Wednesday night. The Arctic high will be centered over WNY by
Thursday afternoon.

850Ts on Wednesday night will bottom out around -20C from WNY to
N.C.NY. If these 850Ts come to fruition, it will be in the top 5
coldest 850Ts recorded in the month of November for the Buffalo
sounding location, where the coldest temperature per NWS archive was
-21C on November 21, 1987, with that number in jeopardy
of getting eclipsed on Thursday morning. With the very cold 850Ts
across the area, some light lake effect snow showers will be
possible Wednesday night into Thursday morning. High temperatures on
Thursday will be in the teens east of Lake Ontario, and in the low
to mid 20s across the rest of the area. High temperatures on
Thursday will be between 20-25 degrees below normal. Rochester and
Buffalo could experience their top 5 coldest Thanksgivings on
record.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Arctic high pressure over the area Thursday night will result in a
very cold if not bitter night. Temperatures will fall into the teens
to single digits above zero, with even a few readings near zero
or below for the western Adirondacks region.

The arctic high will move east Friday allowing for a fair weather
day with temperatures moderating into the upper 20s to mid 30s.

Precipitation chances will increase during the weekend as an advancing
warm front pushes into the region. Temperatures over the
weekend should warm to near normal with most highs in the 40s.

The moderating temperatures do not look to last long as longer range
guidance hints at troughing returning to the Great Lakes by late
next weekend into the start of the following week.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Low stratus will continue to produce MVFR CIGS with some IFR
across higher terrain from the western Southern Tier east across
the western Finger Lakes to points east of Lake Ontario. VFR
will prevail this afternoon with clearing reaching KIAG-KBUF-
KROC.

Some light snow may clip the Southern Tier near KELZ this afternoon
through the first half of tonight with local IFR VSBY as a weak wave
of low pressure moves by to the south of the area. Otherwise the
rest of the area will stay dry through much of tonight with any
leftover MVFR CIGS improving to mainly VFR. A few snow showers will
develop late tonight as a trough approaches, especially east of Lake
Erie with some modest lake enhancement. This will produce areas of
IFR VSBY and MVFR CIGS by early Tuesday morning.

Outlook...

Tuesday through Wednesday...Areas of MVFR/IFR in periods of
snow showers.
Thursday and Friday...VFR.
Saturday...MVFR or IFR as a system moves into or south of the
region.

&&

.MARINE...
A weak trough will move east of the area this morning, with a brief
period of choppy conditions on Lake Ontario in the wake of the
front. Otherwise winds will be relatively light later today through
Tuesday morning. Another weak front will cross the eastern Great
Lakes Tuesday, and this may bring winds and waves to near Small
Craft Advisory levels on Lake Ontario.

A stronger cold front will then cross the eastern Great Lakes
Wednesday. This will bring solid Small Craft Advisory conditions to
both lakes, with potential for a brief period of gales on Lake
Ontario. The wind will last through Wednesday night before high
pressure builds into the eastern Great Lakes Thursday with
diminishing winds.
