Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
311 PM EST Sat Dec 24 2022

.SYNOPSIS...
An intense storm system will continue to batter the region through
the Christmas weekend. Very strong winds will continue into this
evening with wind-driven heavy lake effect snows northeast of
the Lakes creating severe blizzard conditions. Heavy lake snows
will last through at least Christmas Day, possibly lingering
into the first part of next week. Following this storm, a
significant warming trend will develop later next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
...LIFE THREATENING BLIZZARD CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE IN THE
BUFFALO METRO AREA AND JEFFERSON COUNTY TODAY...

SEVERE BLIZZARD conditions will continue today across the Buffalo
Metro area and Niagara Frontier, and in Jefferson County with heavy
lake effect snow and near zero visibility as blowing snow is driven
by 50-55 mph wind gusts.

Very strong surface low pressure vertically stacked beneath a deep
mid level low will continue to spin near the southern end of James
Bay this evening, then move northeast across northern Quebec
Sunday and Sunday night, gradually weakening with time. This
will maintain a cyclonic flow of cold air and a favorable lake
effect snow setup through Sunday night.

Wind gusts will continue to run in the 50-55 mph range through
early evening, then gradually start to subside tonight and
Sunday. This will start to end the severe blizzard conditions by
Sunday, but winds will still be strong enough to produce
blowing and drifting snow through Sunday evening before
diminishing further.

Off Lake Erie...

The band of heavy lake effect snow is quite far north this
afternoon, centered from Grand Island to southern and central
Niagara County. This band of snow will drift south late this
afternoon back to a downtown Buffalo to Airport line later this
afternoon and evening, then move south of the Airport and
downtown Buffalo around midnight, crossing the Buffalo
Southtowns through the wee hours of the morning. Snowfall rates
of 2-3" per hour will continue through this time frame.

Sunday morning the lake effect snow will continue to drift south,
centering on southern Erie and Wyoming counties by mid to late
morning, and also the far northern and western portions of
Chautauqua County and northwest Cattaraugus county. The band will
weaken in intensity by Sunday afternoon as fetch shortens and
convergence weakens over the lake. The weakened band of snow will
move back north into Buffalo late Sunday night and Monday morning,
but it will be in a much weaker state by then.

Additional accumulations of 1-3 feet are likely in the most
persistent bands, bringing storm totals into the 4-5 foot range in
the hardest hit areas.

Off Lake Ontario...

Lake effect snow will remain disorganized through this evening,
but with severe blowing snow roads will still be nearly
impassable. Boundary layer flow will begin to veer to the WSW
late tonight and Sunday morning, increasing fetch across Lake
Ontario and allowing for the lake effect snow to intensify
across northern Jefferson County, then drift south across
Watertown to southern Jefferson and northern/western Lewis
counties by late afternoon or early evening. The band of snow
will continue to intensify through this time frame, with 3-4
inch per hour snowfall rates possible.

The lake effect snow will continue across southern Jefferson and
Lewis counties through late Sunday night or early Monday morning. On
Monday the lake effect snow will move quickly back north across
Jefferson County and weaken with time as boundary layer flow veers
to the SSW.

Additional accumulations of 2-4 feet are possible in the most
persistent bands across southern Jefferson and northern/western
Lewis counties, and 1-2 feet for northern Jefferson County with
around a foot across far northern Oswego County.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
Monday lake snows will be in a weaker state with falling Lake
inversion heights. However a backing flow will bring the snow
back to the City of Buffalo with an inch of snow falling late
Sunday night and Monday morning. Later in the day the band of
snow will be weakening over the North Country as it will lose
its upstream connection to now Lake Erie as well as having the
band oriented over a much smaller fetch of lake.

A shortwave digging around the large upper level trough Monday
night will bring additional synoptic moisture back over the
Lakes. This trough will reinvigorate the lake snows on a SW to
SSW flow...highlighting Niagara County and the Saint Lawrence
Valley Monday night before the bands shift southward. Several
inches of snow is again likely off Lake Erie, with additional
half foot plus east of Lake Ontario. While the focus of snow
will be lake effect, the passing shortwave may also generate a
few light snow showers outside of these bands.

Temperatures will be well below normal this period, with highs
some 10 degrees or more below normal. Highs both Sunday and
Monday will be in the upper teens to lower 20s. Lows will be in
the teens to interior single digits. These temperatures and
still gusty winds will generate wind chill values in the single
digits through much of this time period.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Anomalous upper ridge builds overhead during the mid to late week
period. High confidence in a gradual and welcome warming trend
through this period, with the next chance for precipitation in the
form of rain showers coming late in the week as the next trough
approaches. A lot of the area will sees high temperatures in the 50s
both Friday and Saturday.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Blizzard conditions will persist in the already hard hit areas
northeast of both lakes today, expect significant blowing and
drifting snow at KBUF, KIAG, and KART. The lake bands will stay
nearly stationary or possibly oscillate a bit through at least 21z
today. After that...the band off Lake Erie will begin to ever so
slowly drift south by late this evening. That said...this will take
time to occur, so no changes expected with LIFR/LIFR at the above
mentioned terminals.

Elsewhere...all terminals not impacted by the lake snows will likely
see a mix of MVFR to VFR conditions but winds will gust up to 45 mph
at times.

Tonight...lake snows off Lake Erie will continue to slowly drift
south impacting terminals east and southeast of the lake. Expect
IFR/LIFR flight conditions to continue in the band of lake effect
snow with significant blowing and drifting. off Lake Ontario... the
southward drift of the lake band will likely not occur until early
Sunday. KART should expect to see a continuation of LIFR/IFR through
the day Sunday before the band settles south of the terminal.

Outlook...

Sunday...Localized IFR/LIFR flight conditions in bands of lake
effect snow. Lake effect snows will be south of KBUF, and south of
KART by late Sunday afternoon.

Monday...Localized IFR/LIFR within lake effect snow lifting back
northward towards Buffalo and Watertown

Tuesday...MVFR/IFR early in lake snows. A return to VFR with lake
snows ending through the afternoon.

Wednesday...Mainly VFR.

Thursday...Mainly VFR with a chance of showers.

&&

.MARINE...
A strong and wide-reaching storm will bring intense winds across the
Great Lakes into the weekend. Storm force winds have finally
ended, but high end gales will last well into Sunday across Lake
Ontario. The strong winds and plunging temperatures which will
also pose a heavy freezing spray hazard through Sunday
afternoon. Thus, a Heavy Freezing Spray Warning remains in
effect for Lake Erie and Lake Ontario.

Winds will continue to diminish Sunday night, but will likely be
strong enough to require small craft headlines for some of the
waters through Monday night.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
Levels on Lake Erie have dropped below 8 feet, allowing the
Lakeshore Flood Warning to be dropped for the Lake Erie
shorelines. Very strong southwest gales to 40-45 knots will
also bring the potential for lakeshore flooding and shoreline
erosion to the eastern end of Lake Ontario through Sunday
morning. Lake levels are near normal, which will lower the
potential for lakeshore flooding compared to past years, but
with onshore winds this strong along with expected considerable
wave action the threat is a bit more elevated for this event.

At 115 p.m an intense band of lake effect snow is centered near

evening. Here's APPROXIMATELY where the band will be centered...

Tonawanda, Amherst, Rapids...2 p.m. - 4 p.m.
Buffalo, Williamsville, Clarence, Akron...4 p.m. - 7 p.m.
West Seneca, Lancaster, Alden, Corfu...7 p.m. - 9 pm.

Keep in mind, that winds gusting to 50 mph will cause widespread
blowing and drifting of snow - EVEN OUTSIDE THE MAIN BAND. Avoid
any travel through this evening, since the risk of becoming
stranded is extremely high.
