What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this gale warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Buffalo, NY wrote its last area forecast discussion before this gale warning went out at Feb 14, 9:59 AM EST, 2 hours 48 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 14, 9:59 AM EST, 2 hours 48 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Buffalo NY 959 AM EST Thu Feb 14 2019 .SYNOPSIS... High pressure nosing north into our region this morning will exit across New England this afternoon and evening. While this will provide us with a short lived period of uneventful weather...rain and wet snow showers will move in ahead of a strong cold front later tonight into Friday. Most areas will also experience another round of strong gusty winds. Temperatures in the wake of the front will drop back to below normal levels for much of the weekend. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... Flow will rapidly become southerly through the remainder of the day from west to east. This will quickly push lake induced stratocumulus off to the north from west to east and finally bring to an end the lagging snow shower activity east of Lake Ontario. However, high clouds ahead of the next system in warm advection aloft will keep the sun from really coming out in full force. Certainly, some veiled sun through high clouds will be likely through the day, however a full fledged February sun day seems unlikely. That said, with some insolation making it through and a noticeable rebound in 850 mb temperatures toward 0C, an uptick above freezing is likely everywhere that turns southerly. The lone exception of this will be east of Lake Ontario, where a later arrival of the wind shift will preclude much of a warm up until the overnight hours. Conditions will deteriorate across our forecast area tonight...as the large sub 1000mb storm system will track across the SOO. In the process...the strengthening area of low pressure will push a pair of its associated frontal boundaries across the Lower Great Lakes. The first of these will be a warm front that will make its way across our region overnight. While isentropic lift near and in advance of this boundary will be enough to start to generate some rain and wet snow showers...stronger lift in the form of a 50kt low level jet will be found ahead of a potent cold front that will advance to the Niagara River and easternmost Lake Erie by daybreak. Given the deep tongue of moisture between the two sfc boundaries...will raise pops to categorical for the entire region. Mins tonight are expected to occur before midnight...as moderately strong warm advection will be in place for much of the night. && .SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/... On Friday low pressure just north of Lake Huron will steadily push northeastward into Quebec Province...and in the process will sweep its trailing cold front across our area during the morning. Fairly widespread rain showers (possibly mixed with a little snow initially across the North Country) along and ahead of the front will quickly give way to a period of relatively dry conditions in its wake as strong dry slotting overspreads the region aloft. By midday/early afternoon the incoming colder airmass will become cold enough to support a lake response east and northeast of Lake Erie...though this should be more muted than Wednesday's and last Friday's LES events given inversion heights of only 4-5 kft and correspondingly shallow moisture...both of which should help to keep any accumulations relatively minor. The same general scenario will also unfold by late afternoon/early evening east and northeast of Lake Ontario...with any resultant accumulations there also on the minor side given the much later start. Otherwise increasing cold advection and the resultant mixing/downward transport of higher momentum air from aloft will also result in another round of rather windy conditions developing in the wake of the cold front...with gusts reaching to 30-40 mph in many areas...and possibly to as high as 45-50 mph (low-end advisory criteria) downwind of Lake Erie...a mention of which has been added to the HWO. Expect temperatures to peak in the upper 30s to mid 40s out ahead of the front...before falling an average of 10 degrees by the end of the day. Friday night some widely scattered wraparound snow showers will remain possible across our region...while lake snows continue east and then southeast of both lakes on a slowly veering low level flow. Off Lake Erie these should remain rather minor given the extensive ice cover on lake...a low cap of 3-4 kft...shortening fetch...and shallow background moisture...all of which should keep additional accumulations light. Off Lake Ontario it should be a different story as a higher cap and deeper moisture will be in place with the flow also remaining aligned more closely with the long axis of the lake...all factors that should allow for a more organized band to sink southward from the Tug Hill region to Oswego and Northern Cayuga counties. This should allow for at least a few additional inches of accumulation...and possibly amounts worthy of a winter weather headline. Otherwise winds will gradually relax as the supporting area of low pressure pulls further away from our region... with overnight lows settling back into the upper teens to lower 20s. Saturday and Saturday night the lake response will gradually fall apart from west to east as high pressure and drier air build across our region. More specifically...lingering scattered snow showers southeast of Lake Erie should break apart Saturday afternoon...with weakened lake snows southeast of Lake Ontario producing some additional minor accumulations Saturday...before spreading out along the south shore of the lake and suffering a similar fate Saturday night. Elsewhere conditions will just be mainly dry and colder... with highs Saturday mainly between 25 and 30...and lows Saturday night dipping into the teens south of Lake Ontario...and to the single digits across the North Country. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... During this period a low amplitude flow will be in place across the CONUS...with initial broad/flat troughing giving way to a quasi-zonal flow by late in the period. This will result in somewhat below average temperatures Sunday and Monday giving way to near normal readings by midweek. In terms of precipitation chances...it still appears that a weak southern stream wave may slide across the Ohio Valley and Mid Atlantic States between late Sunday...Sunday night...and Monday... while bringing a general chance for some light snow to areas south of Lake Ontario. After that high pressure and mainly dry weather should return for Monday night and Tuesday...before another (and somewhat stronger) southern stream system possibly brings somewhat better chances for some snow by the end of the period. && .AVIATION /15Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... VFR conditions will be in place across the majority of western and north central New York this morning...as high pressure will nose into the region from the Carolinas. The exception will be east of Lake Ontario where accumulating lake snows will remain in place over Oswego county. This will keep MVFR to IFR vsbys intact for sites like KFZY. As we push into the afternoon...residual lake snow showers will taper off to flurries while ending north of the Tug Hill. This will translate into VFR conditions for the entire region...with the strato-cu cigs lifting to alto-cu for the bulk of the afternoon. Tonight...clouds will gradually lower ahead of a warm front that will pass over the region during the overnight hours. VFR cigs will lower to MVFR levels after 06z...with the lowering cigs being accompanied by rain and wet snow showers. The showers will become more widespread after 09z when cigs will likely be at MVFR levels. The deteriorating conditions tonight will be accompanied by a period of low level wind shear...mainly over the Southern Tier. Outlook... Friday...Deterioration to MVFR/IFR in rain and snow showers. Friday night...IFR in areas of lake effect snow east of the lakes... otherwise MVFR/VFR. Saturday...Lingering areas of lake effect snow/IFR southeast of Lake Ontario...otherwise mainly VFR. Sunday...VFR/MVFR with a chance of snow showers south of Lake Ontario. Monday...MVFR with a weak system moving across the region. && .MARINE... The axis of high pressure over the Lower Great Lakes early this morning will push east across New England this afternoon and evening. This has allowed for winds and waves to subside so small craft advisories were dropped for the time. As the ridge pushes east this afternoon and evening...light to moderate winds will back to the southeast. Winds will then freshen ahead of an approaching cold front overnight...with a new round of small craft advisories possible north of Mexico Bay by daybreak Friday. Winds will further increase to near gale force on Friday in the wake of a strong cold frontal passage. These winds will gradually subside Friday night into Saturday...although small craft advisories will likely be in place to start the weekend for the Lake Ontario nearshore waters. && .BUF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
