Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
118 AM EDT Fri Nov 1 2019
.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure will strengthen as it moves across the eastern
Great Lakes this evening and into southern Quebec by Friday
morning. Heavy rain will taper to showers from west to east
tonight. Meanwhile, a strong cold front will sweep east across
the region this evening, with damaging winds developing in the
wake of the cold front tonight through Friday. Much colder air
will move into the region Friday through the weekend, with the
first snowflakes of the season possible in some areas east of
the lakes.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
The cold front has cleared the eastern Lake Ontario region, and
winds are steadily increasing across Western NY as winds aloft,
subsidence, and cold advection begin to peak. Winds are now gusting
in excess of 50 knots across the Niagara Frontier, and these
damaging wind gusts will spread east across the rest of the area
over the next few hours as strong winds aloft propagate east, and
boundary layer flow veers more westerly.
The steady rain east of Lake Ontario will taper off over the next
few hours, only to be replaced by some lake effect showers by late
tonight. An area of showers will continue across Western NY,
supported by the base of the mid level trough, wrap around moisture,
and lake enhancement.
Damaging winds...
Following the passage of the secondary trough late tonight and
Friday morning, the boundary layer flow will veer more westerly
as the low reaches southern Quebec. Following the wind direction
change to westerly, there will be a period of a few hours with
60+ knot winds at 850mb. Past events have shown this strong
westerly flow signaling wind damage spreading well inland across
the interior Southern Tier and western Finger Lakes, rather
than staying in the typical lake plain locations.
Potential Vorticity analysis of this system is impressive, with
the 1.5 PVU surface descending to below 700mb. This suggests a
tropopause fold and intrusion of stratospheric air into the
troposphere, which will enhance lapse rates and mixing
potential. Furthermore, a fairly impressive isallobaric
fall/rise couplet will pass across the eastern Great Lakes.
Based on the lastest model guidance, thinking has changed little
with the strongest winds occurring tonight northeast of Lake Erie,
centered around the 11 pm to 5 am time frame, and Friday
morning farther east once the flow veers more westerly, centered
around the 4 am to 10 am time frame. Peak wind gusts will
likely reach 60-65 mph in many areas, with some potential for 70
mph gusts especially near the eastern shores of Lake Ontario.
The strong winds will diminish fairly quickly from west to east
Friday morning into the early afternoon as the surface low and
stronger winds aloft move east of the area.
Following the cold front, the airmass will grow rapidly cold enough
to support a lake response off Lake Erie later tonight, and by
Friday morning off Lake Ontario. The boundary layer may become cold
enough to support some wet snowflakes across higher terrain by early
Friday morning, but marginal temperatures and a rapidly drying
synoptic scale airmass should prevent accumulation. The lake effect
rain/snow showers will taper off later Friday, but may not end
altogether.
&&
.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
Surface high pressure across the Ohio Valley will build
northeastward across PA into eastern NY Friday night. This will
cause winds to shift out of the southwest, causing any light lake
effect rain and snow showers to shift northeast of both lakes then
diminish through the night as drier air and subsidence work in
across the area. Cool temperatures expected Friday night with lows
ranging from the upper 20s across the higher terrain to the mid 30s
across the lake plains.
There will be a break in the weather Saturday, with just the chance
for a few rainshowers across far western NY by late in the day ahead
of the next deepening shortwave trough and attendant surface cold
front that will move across western and northcentral NY Saturday
evening through the early overnight. Some warmer air will advect
across the region on a southwesterly flow ahead the approaching
system, which will help to boost temperatures a bit with highs
mainly in the mid to upper 40s.
Things get a bit more interesting Saturday night as cold air deepens
across western and northcentral NY with temperatures aloft at 850mb
dipping to around -6 to -7C overnight. There will be mix of rain and
snow showers initially across the higher terrain, with just plain
rain at lower elevations Saturday evening. Precipitation will
transition to all snow across the higher elevations overnight, with
a mix of rain and snow showers across the lower terrain. Lake effect
rain and snow showers will initially be northeast of the lakes,
transitioning to east of the lakes for the second half of the night.
Increasing lake induced instability combined with equilibrium levels
up to 15 Kft and saturation through the dendritic snow growth zone
may lead to the first accumulating snows across the higher terrain,
with possibly a sloppy coating in a few spots across the lower
terrain. Temperatures will again fall into the upper 20s across the
higher terrain, with mainly low 30s elsewhere.
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Lake snows will be ongoing but in the process of slowly weakening
early Sunday. As we move through the day Sunday, lake snows will
rapidly begin to shut down as equilibrium levels fall with a
strengthening subsidence inversion. Lake snow will also be hampered
by weak warm advection occuring in the mid-level. Additionally, air
temperatures will be gradually warming over the course of the day,
so any additional accumulations will be minor after sunrise Sunday.
With that said, surface high pressure is forecast to build into the
Mid-Atlantic which will bring dry and quiet weather to the Lower
Lakes as we head into Monday.
Monday, surface high pressure over the Mid-Atlantic will be the main
player influencing our weather. This feature will bring dry and a
bit warmer conditions to the region with highs rebounding into the
50s. Although, a weak low does race by just to our west and
northwest as it heads into Canada. This feature may introduce some
cloud cover across far Western New York. Tuesday into Tuesday night,
precipitation chances again increase as another low races by to our
west dragging its associated cold front across the region. Behind
the cold front, a much colder air mass filters in across the Lower
Lakes with some lake response. After Wednesday, significant
differences arise with the ECMWF showing high pressure building in
across the Lower Lakes with cold conditions(H850T -12C/-14C). While
the GFS brings another weak weak wave across the forecast area with
some light snow for late Thursday into Friday. Either way, it
appears that the later half of the week will be colder at this
point.
&&
.AVIATION /05Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Steady rain east of Lake Ontario will diminish by around 09Z, only
to be replaced by lake effect rain showers east of the lake. Some
wet snow may mix in across higher terrain by early Friday morning.
Across Western NY, an area of showers associated with the mid level
trough, wrap around moisture, and lake enhancement will continue
through about 09Z before giving way to weakening lake effect across
the higher terrain of the western Southern Tier. Some wet snow will
mix in across the higher terrain of the Southern Tier, and may even
change to all wet snow. VSBY will be mainly MVFR to VFR in the rain
showers, with spotty IFR across higher terrain where precip changes
to all snow. CIGS will be mainly MVFR through Friday morning before
improving to mainly VFR in the afternoon. The one possible exception
will be in narrow plumes of lake effect clouds and scattered showers
east of both lakes, where some MVFR CIGS may continue through the
afternoon.
Strong winds will continue across the region through Friday morning
with gusts in excess of 50 knots at times in many locations. The
strong winds will subside from west to east from late morning
through the afternoon Friday, with much lighter winds by early
evening.
Scattered lake effect showers will continue Friday night east of
Lakes Erie and Ontario with spotty MVFR VSBY and MVFR CIGS. What
remains of these will move north as boundary layer flow veers to the
southwest. The lake effect clouds and scattered showers will
dissipate by daybreak Saturday.
Outlook...
Saturday...Mainly VFR. A Chance of showers.
Saturday night and Sunday...Mainly VFR, except IFR in lake effect
rain and snow showers east of the lakes.
Monday and Tuesday...VFR/MVFR with a chance of showers.
&&
.MARINE...
Low pressure will track from southern Ontario into southern
Quebec overnight. A strong cold front will push east of Lake
Ontario just before midnight. A secondary surface trough will
move across the lakes after midnight, and this will key the
onset of the strongest winds. This will result in storms and
gales.
The strongest winds will be found on the eastern end of Lake
Erie and Lake Ontario, where a brief period of storm force winds
is likely very late tonight and Friday morning. Waves will
reach the 16-20 foot range on both lakes Erie and Ontario. The
wind event will be relatively short lived, with winds quickly
diminishing Friday afternoon.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
Generally 1-2 inches of rain has fallen across the region with
the bulk of the rain over west of Watertown. The exception is
southern Oswego and Lewis counties where observations and radar
estimates suggest totals are approaching 3 inches. This is
likely to result in general flooding, and also may push several
forecast points in the Black River basin above flood stage.
With current rainfall amounts in line with what was modeled by
the RFC, there appears a good chance that one or more forecast
points in the Black River basin will reach flood stage. Another
factor is that the bulk of the rain fell in a 6 hour period,
which can speed up and maximize the crest. This will be closely
monitored.
Otherwise, basin averages are around 1.5 inches for the Buffalo
creeks. These will be monitored too, with Lancaster likely to
crest near flood stage but just about every other forecast point
expected to crest near or below action stage.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
A strong cold front will move across the eastern Great Lakes
last evening, and this caused a dramatic increase in winds
which pushed Lake Erie over 10 feet. The lake level appears to
have reached its crest, but will remain high overnight.
This is an unusual situation, with this initial rise shortly
following the passage of the cold front, and then a secondary
rise expected with the strongest winds which will be after
midnight. Typically the highest levels for Lake Erie are with
the initial surge, but in this case its likely that the second
surge will exceed the first. Expect levels to hold steady
before rising again after midnight. Expect a peak around 10
feet above low water datum at Buffalo, which would result in
lakeshore flooding along the Lake Erie shore. Flooding is also
likely along the Niagara River. The elevated Lake Erie water
results in more water flowing down the Niagara River, which can
cause flooding along the riverside in locations such as Cayuga
Island in the City of Niagara Falls.
Strong southwest to west winds combined with high lake levels
will result in lakeshore flooding and shoreline erosion across
Jefferson and Oswego counties. Flooding may also develop across
the Thousand Islands region of the Saint Lawrence River as water
is pushed down the river from Lake Ontario.
