What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this small craft advisory 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 small craft advisory went out at Apr 15, 2:54 PM EDT, 1 hour 33 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 15, 2:54 PM EDT, 1 hour 33 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
254 PM EDT Wed Apr 15 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
Cold pattern continues through end of the week. A few snow showers
this afternoon will give way to brief period of moderate to heavy
snow late this afternoon into early evening, heaviest toward the
Southern Tier. Snow tapers by midnight, then more scattered snow
showers are expected on Thursday. Another system in this active
pattern could bring another round of accumulating snow on Friday,
heaviest for the Southern Tier.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
Daytime heating and cool air aloft (H85 temp of -10c at Buffalo this
morning) continues to yield scattered snow showers and flurries
across much of the area. Isolated lake effect band (delta t/s up to
17c) that set up earlier off southeast Lake Ontario has faded away.
Temps are chilly, with lower 30s inland Southern Tier, to the lower
40s over parts of the lake Plains.

Attention late this aftn remains on shortwave and enhanced snow that
caused issues over the western Great Lakes since late last night.
This system is spreading snow across southern Lower Michigan into
northern Ohio currently and will impact our area btwn 20z/4PM and
02z/10 PM this evening. Focus for stripe of heavier snow is over far
southern Tier per HRRR and HREF snow probs. Based on upstream
observations and blend of higher resolution models which are doing
well with upstream trends, a narrow swath of 2-3 inches, isold 4
inch snow totals is expected across the southern Tier. Lesser
amounts of an inch or two may make it as far north as southern Erie
and Wyoming county while even a coating may occur on grassy surfaces
toward the lake Plains, though if any rain mixes in there it will
keep accums minimal. Traffic webcams upstream around Detroit
indicated roads staying wet but some minor accums are occurring on
the grass. Temps in our area will become cooler this evening so
there will be better opportunity to accumulate compared to upstream.
Visibility has been down below a mile over northern Indiana and
southern lower Michigan through the day. Expect similar setup here
and where the snow does not fall heavy, sharply reduced vsby may be
the bigger impact.

Shortwave and the associated snow is truly a quick hitter and will
be east of our area after 10 PM. Rest of tonight looks quiet though
quite chilly with lows all areas dropping below freezing and
interior southern Tier dropping to the lower 20s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
Large scale, unseasonable cool upper level troughing is expected to
remain in place with embedded shortwave (though not as robust as
today) dropping across the region Thursday. This wave along with
diurnal heating will bring a limited risk for snow/rain/graupel
showers, but expect little if any accumulation given a lack of
coverage and an increasing mid-April sun angle. Afternoon high
temperatures expected to be a solid 15 or so degrees below normal
for many areas, ranging from the mid 30s to near 40 degrees.

After this wave moves by Thursday night, attention will be on
stronger shortwave and associated warm air advection pattern
developing along and north of stationary front from southern Plains
to the mid Atlantic states. Majority of models trended farther north
and now indicate at least the Southern Tier sees another round of
accumulating snow, potentially into the advisory range as majority
of precip remains snow. If trends continue, some minor accumulation
could even occur all the way to the Lake Ontario shore, though North
Country still looks to be on the fringe of this system.

After this system exits southeast of our area, high pressure ridge
will bring dry weather for Saturday. After a chilly night Friday
night, readings Saturday afternoon will begin to bounce back toward
normal with highs reaching the mid 40s to near 50F. Ahead of a cold
front on Saturday night, expect readings to only drop into the mid
to upper 30s for most areas.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Broad upper level trough will reside across the Great Lakes region
during this period. This will likely result in below normal
temperatures for a majority of this time frame.

For the details...Sunday and Sunday night a cold front sags through
the eastern Great Lakes with increasing chances for showers. Models
seem fairly consistent with this scenario, then cold front exits the
Lower Lakes by early Monday morning.

Monday, a brief period of dry weather will ensue during the day
before another fast moving system pushes in for Monday night. After
that, it appears likely that it will continue to remain unsettled.
However, there is some uncertainty as we progress towards the
middle of the week and beyond.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Isolated light snow showers (VCSH) will give way to steadier
more widespread snow, maybe mixed with light rain in the lower
elevations of the lake plains, late this afternoon through early
this evening. Expect snow to end late evening over western NY
and by midnight over the Finger Lakes and North Country.

VFR cigs and vsby could drop briefly to MVFR cigs and vsby through
mid aftn if under one of the snow showers, then a period of MVFR
cigs and IFR vsby expected late this aftn into early evening from
BUT to ROC, but especially at JHW where LIFR vsby not out of the
question, at least briefly. IAG may see brief lower conditions, but
ART stays on the northern fringe of this system. Back to VFR for all
sites overnight tonight.

Outlook...

Thursday...VFR/MVFR with a chance of mainly snow showers.
Friday and Saturday...Mainly VFR.
Sunday and Monday...MVFR with a chance of rain showers.

&&

.MARINE...
High pressure over the Ohio Valley will support moderate to
occasionally fresh breezes over the region through Thursday. Small
craft advisory conditions expected into early evening from Dunkirk
to Buffalo Harbor with gusty southwest winds and waves 3-5 feet.
Better chance of more areas needing small craft advisories will
occur Thursday afternoon into Thursday evening.

&&

.BUF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
NY...None.
