Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
133 AM EST Mon Nov 2 2020
.SYNOPSIS...
Accumulating lake effect snow will focus across the higher terrain
east of Lakes Erie and Ontario overnight. Outside of the main lake
effect areas a few snow showers will produce the first minor
measurable snow of the season in many areas. The lake effect snow
will briefly diminish during the day Monday, then a band of heavy
snow will develop again across the Tug Hill from late afternoon
through Monday night, with rain at lower elevations close to the
lake. The early taste of winter will not last though, with a
significant warm up likely mid to late week.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
FLow is becoming more nw through the forecast area behind secondary
trough. Heavy snow on the Tug Hill has abated as winds shifted
northwest. So, we have transitioned to a more multiband lake effect
regime with enhanced heavier lake effect bands rest of night.
Accumulations through daybreak will be less than 1 inch for most,
though isolated amounts of a couple inches are still possible
where snow showers are more persistent.
It will remain quite windy early this morning. The strongest winds
will be found southeast of Lake Erie, especially close to the shore,
with gusts of up to 50 mph. Gusts will also reach 40-45 mph along
the south and east shores of Lake Ontario early this morning
as winds have become more northwest. Outside of these areas,
gusts of 30-40 mph will be common tonight as much colder air
pours into the eastern Great Lakes.
Overall, total snow accumulations by daybreak this morning
(including what has already fallen) may reach 3-5 inches across
the higher terrain east of Lake Erie, including the Chautauqua
Ridge, Boston Hills, and the ridges of Wyoming County. 1-3
inches is possible farther inland on the hills of Allegany
County and the Bristol Hills. Off Lake Ontario, expect 4-7
inches across the Tug Hill (again, with most of that already
having occurred), and 1-3 inches for the surrounding lower
elevations. Outside of these areas, any accumulations will be
limited to less than an inch.
Winter weather advisories remain over western Southern Tier into the
higher terrain of Southern Erie and Wyoming county and also for the
eastern Lake Ontario region. Outside of these areas, light snow with
the gusty winds will result in areas of lower visibility which could
linger into the Monday morning commute. The lake effect snow will
diminish to scattered rain and snow showers for a time from late
morning through mid afternoon today. The lull in lake effect will be
brief as another round of what is still looking like very heavy lake
effect snow is possible late Monday afternoon into Monday night on
westerly flow east of Lake Ontario, targeting the Tug Hill. See
details on this in the short term discussion.
&&
.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/...
...Significant accumulating lake snows possible east of Lake
Ontario during this period...
A secondary potent shortwave will drop southeast channeling down
the back side of the broader trough. While lake snows weaken
off Lake Erie, the exact opposite can be said east of Lake
Ontario where westerly flow across the lake will make use of the
longer fetch to produce what could be our first significant
snowfall, especially across the Tug Hill. The only hindrance
right now appears to be residence time of the band over any
given location which is expected to gradually settle southward
over the course of the night. However, confident enough that
there will be time for snowfall accumulation greater than +7
inches east of Lake Ontario in the most intense portion of the
band. A Winter storm watch has been issued for this potential
from Monday evening through Tuesday morning. Some minor
accumulations can still anticipated east of Lake Erie overnight
but with drier air moving in and equilibrium levels falling this
will limit the lake response off Lake Erie. Boundary layer
temperatures will also be a little warmer east of Lake Erie,
limiting accumulations.
It will become very windy again Monday evening behind the
shortwave, with gusts of up to 50 mph possible across much of
Western NY, especially close to Lake Erie and extending across
the Niagara Frontier to near Rochester.
The aforementioned mid-level trough then moves well east of the
region by early Tuesday morning. The loss of background moisture
with the departing trough and lowering equilibrium levels will then
aid in gradually weakening and diminishing lake snows over the
course of the day.
After Tuesday, dry weather returns as sfc ridging builds off the
Mid-Atlantic and Northeast coast. This will not only provide
dry weather through the end of this period but also initiate a
big warm up. Temperatures anticipated to climb well above normal
with highs climbing into the 60s for the later half of the
week.
&&
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
This period will be marked by a dry stretch that will also feature
mild temperatures that could push to near daily record levels by the
end of the period.
A flat zonal flow to start the period will become more amplified as
a sharp upper level trough drops down across the western US. There
will be a pause to the amplification...this on Thursday and into
Friday as a shortwave passes across southern Canada. This feature
will bring a few more clouds to the region Thursday...and may even
allow for afternoon temperatures to dip a degree lower than the
previous day (Wednesday). By the weekend, temperatures at 850 hPa
will push towards +12 to +13C. A look at past soundings for KBUF,
the moving maximum temperature at 850 hPa next weekend is right
around +12 to +13C...thus with sunny skies will place highs Saturday
and Sunday close to daily record values. The one factor that may
keep us from reaching near record highs is with the upper level and
down to the surface ridge axis right over us...boundary layer mixing
may not be that deep, which would keep afternoon temperatures a few
degrees cooler than a well mixed lower atmosphere. None the less
next weekend is shaping up to be pleasantly mild.
&&
.AVIATION /07Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Lake effect snow showers will continue east of Lake Erie early this
morning, including KJHW, with mainly MVFR VSBY and CIGS, though
brief IFR intervals in heavier snow showers are still possible.
East of Lake Ontario, similar story with overall MVFR CIGS and
VSBY though a few pockets of IFR conditions are still possible
in heavier snow showers.
Winds have become more northwest as a trough has crossed the
area. These gusty winds will produce some blowing snow where
snow accumulation occurs.
The snow showers and lake effect will diminish to scattered rain and
snow showers Monday morning. This will allow lower elevations to
return to mainly VFR by late morning, with MVFR CIGS across higher
terrain. Signals starting to show up that it southwest winds are
going to become very windy over western NY again late this
afternoon and this will be included in later TAF updates.
Outlook...
Monday night through Tuesday...IFR possible in lake effect snow
east and southeast of the lakes. VFR elsewhere.
Wednesday through Friday...VFR.
&&
.MARINE...
West gales will become northwest overnight following the passage of
a secondary trough. Winds will diminish temporarily Monday morning
through early afternoon before becoming westerly and increasing to
gales again on Lakes Erie and Ontario. Gales will continue into
Monday evening before diminishing overnight.
&&
.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
The water level on Lake Erie at Buffalo peaked at about 6.7 feet
above low water datum during the late afternoon on Sunday in the
wake of a strong cold front. The lake level should fall early this
morning with winds becoming more northwesterly on the lake.
Later today into tonight, even though water levels are not as high
as we have seen recently, westerly gales on Lake Ontario will result
in potential for significant wave action and lakeshore flooding on
east end of the lake. Thus, a lakeshore flood watch remains in
effect.

A band of lake effect snow will continue through late evening east

will mix with rain close to Lake Ontario. Snowfall rates will reach
1 inch per hour at times across the higher terrain of the Tug Hill
Plateau.
Winds in excess of 40 mph will result in some blowing and drifting
snow on the Tug Hill Plateau.
Travel will continue to deteriorate through late evening as
temperatures drop below freezing across the higher terrain. Travel
on Interstate 81 between exits 35 and 47 will be difficult at times,
with occasional wet snow, rain, and snow pellets.
