Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
247 PM EST Thu Feb 17 2022
.SYNOPSIS...
Unseasonably warm temperatures will continue most of today, and a
moisture laden frontal system will bring widespread rainfall. The
combination of snowmelt and rain will increase the risk of flooding,
especially along rivers, creeks, and low lying areas. Rain will
change to an icy mix and then to snow from northwest to southeast
tonight, with moderate snow accumulations across the Niagara
Frontier and Jefferson County. Widespread precipitation will taper
off to scattered snow showers Friday morning, with much colder air
moving back into the region.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
A cold front has entered western NY this afternoon and will move
through the Buffalo and Rochester Metros this afternoon. A sharp
temperature gradient exists across Lake Erie and Lake Ontario with
temperatures in the 20s across much of southern Ontario and
Michigan. A sign of what is to come...
Surface low pressure over Arkansas will track northeast along the
cold front through tonight. Widespread moderate rain will move back
into western NY by late this afternoon. As temperatures fall from
northwest to southeast, surface temperatures will fall below
freezing across the Niagara Frontier by early this evening. Warm air
will persist aloft and rain will change over to freezing rain. The
changeover to freezing rain will progress eastward, reaching the
Saint Lawrence Valley by 8PM and the Lower Genesee Valley by 10PM.
Then the front slows down and there will likely be a longer period
of freezing rain from the western Southern Tier into the Finger
Lakes and to Oswego and Lewis counties around midnight. Most
locations, freezing rain will then mix with sleet before changing
over to all snow from northwest to southeast tonight. The period of
a wintry mix will likely be about 2-4 hours before snow is the main
ptype tonight. As evident on national radar, a lot of moisture
is headed towards western and north central NY. Rainfall amounts
from 1 PM to 1 AM will average 0.75 to 1.25. Please see
Hydrology section below for more details on flooding. The
earlier change over to a wintry mix and then snow will result in
areas across the northwest counties in western and north
central NY to see the most snowfall accumulation. These areas
include the Niagara Frontier into the Saint Lawrence River.
Snowfall amounts will range from 4-8 inches across Niagara and
Orleans county to 2-4 inches from Lake Erie shoreline to
Rochester Metro and northern Jefferson county. Snowfall amounts
taper off to the south and east with 1-2 inches across Oswego
and Lewis counties and less than 1 inch across interior Southern
Tier and Finger Lakes. Ice amounts will average a trace to a
tenth of an inch with amounts up to two tenths of an inch across
Chautauqua county to the Lower Genesee Valley and across the
northern Tug Hill region. A note about ice accretion when rain
changes to freezing rain, moderate rain will produce more runoff
than ice even with temperatures below freezing. Slick
conditions will form but that rain will not turn all to ice.
The surface low moves east of the Finger Lakes late tonight while
850mb temperatures fall to -6C across western NY. Large scale
moisture will be diminishing by Friday morning however the region
will be ahead of the mid-level trough axis so light snow will
continue through Friday morning. Temperatures will be around -15C by
Friday morning and lake enhancement will keep snow showers southeast
of the Lakes through the afternoon. An additional 1-2 inches of snow
is possible southeast of Lake Ontario and up to an inch southeast of
Lake Erie.
Winter weather headlines are in effect for all counties in the
forecast area. A Winter Storm Warning is in effect for only Niagara
and Orleans counties for the combination of 4-7 inches of snow and a
tenth of an inch of ice. A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for
all other counties for lesser amounts of snow but around the same
amount of ice.
Temperatures will dramatically fall tonight with temperatures in the
40s and low 50s this afternoon reaching the teens by Friday morning.
Temperatures will reach the low to mid 20s Friday afternoon. Breezy
conditions will continue through Friday with southerly winds turning
to northwest behind the front. Northwest winds late tonight through
Friday will result in wind chills in the single digits. The
changeover to freezing conditions after the recent rainfall will
also cause areas of standing water to freeze so extra caution is
needed if traveling late tonight into tomorrow.
&&
.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
Arctic front enters WNY early Saturday morning and then will quickly
work from west to east across the region. With BUFKIT profiles
showing steep low level lapse rates and sufficient moisture
extending through the DGZ(-10C to -20C)...should see a brief period
of widespread snow showers along and then briefly behind the front.
Winds will also pick up ahead and behind the front with gusts of 40
to 45 mph. With the frontal passage...CAA will then drop 850 hPa
down to -18C/-20C over the lakes with increasing over lake
instability. Lake snows will then take over...with the best shot at
decent accumulations found east of Lake Ontario. Westerly flow of
260-270 will briefly make use of the longer fetch of the lake before
flow veers to NW late in the afternoon. That said...flow isn't all
that well aligned with a bit of shear. This will likely limit
accumulation but we still could see up 3 to 5 inches across Oswego
Co. and the Tug Hill before the shift south. Off lake Erie...lesser
amounts can be anticipated with 1 to 3 inches at best.
Saturday night...lake snows will focus southeast of the lakes but
will weaken and then diminish as we head into Sunday. Could see some
accumulations but will be on the light side for counties along the
south shore of Lake Ontario. Otherwise...outside of the residual
lake snow it will be a largely dry night as sfc high over the Ohio
Valley influences the Lower Lakes. Should be the coldest night of
this period...lows in the single digits to below zero in spots.
Winds fall off quickly in the evening and then become light...so it
appears there will not be any wind chill issues.
Sunday...sfc high pressure drifts east but will likely maintain dry
weather as it becomes positioned along the Mid-Atlantic. As this
occurs...southwest flow picks up with moderating temps cross the
region. Daytime highs pushing into the 30s to low 40s.
Sunday night...a weakening front will approach the Lower Lakes from
the north. Not much moisture with it...but we could still see some
flurries with it across the North Country.
Monday through Monday night...the front stalls but will maintain
overall low end chances POPs for the potential of some rain or snow
showers.
&&
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
A robust storm system originating in the southern branch of a split
flow will highlight this time frame. While the resulting pcpn will
be largely in the form of rain...a half to as much as an inch of
rain on Tuesday will aggravate lingering high flows on area
tributaries.
The pcpn may start as a mix of wet snow and rain on the onset
Tuesday morning...then strong waa ahead of the sfc low over the
Upper Mid West will prompt H85 temps to surge to +6c or so. This
will support that all of the steady pcpn during the midday and
afternoon to be in liquid form...with only the Thousand Islands
region possibly hanging on to a mix.
The sfc low will pass over/close to the region Tuesday night. While
the heaviest/steadiest pcpn will be done at that point...lingering
light pcpn can be expected with pops lowering during the course of
the night.
Strong cold advection in the wake of the exiting system will result
in near steady...if not falling temps...on Wednesday with a
notably colder night Wednesday night. While the vast majority of
this 24 hour will be pcpn free...some lake snows are anticipated on
a veering 290-320 flow.
Thursday will then be characterized by mainly fair cold weather as
ridging at all levels will build east from the Upper Great Lakes.
&&
.AVIATION /20Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
A mix of IFR/MVFR/VFR conditions persist across the region this
afternoon. A cold front is across the Niagara Peninsula and
will move into western NY and north central NY late this
afternoon into early evening. Rain will continue across the
region this afternoon. There have been breaks with improving
ceilings this afternoon but that will soon end as a large area
of rain over the Ohio Valley moves into the region tonight.
CIGS/VSBY will deteriorate to IFR by evening.
As cold air rushes into the region tonight, elevated warm air
will allow for freezing rain and sleet for 2-4 hours this
evening from northwest to southeast across the region. The
wintry mix will be moderate to heavy, with significant impacts
to airfield operations possible. Moderate snow will then occur
across the northern terminals causing IFR/LIFR CIGS/VSBYS
overnight into Friday morning. Snow will reach interior NY and
the southern Tier by late tonight and KJHW will see a period of
reduced CIGS/VSBYS.
Light snow is expected Friday morning and will taper off by
midday Friday. VFR conditions will likely return Friday
afternoon.
Outlook...
Friday afternoon...Improving to MVFR/VFR.
Friday Night...Mainly VFR/MVFR with a chance of lake effect
snow showers and localized IFR possible to the south and
southeast of the Lakes.
Saturday...Snow showers likely with areas of IFR. Windy.
Sunday and Monday...Mainly VFR.
Tuesday...MVFR/IFR possible. Rain.
&&
.MARINE...
A cold front will then cross the eastern Great Lakes from
northwest to southeast late afternoon and early evening. Winds
will temporarily diminish with the cold frontal passage. A surge
of strong northerly winds will then develop later tonight
through Friday morning. This will maintain Small Craft Advisory
conditions on Lake Ontario and Lake Erie through Friday.
A reinforcing cold front will move across the lake Saturday. Gale
force winds to 35 knots are possible Friday night into Saturday
behind the cold front. A Gale Watch is in effect on Lake Ontario.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
...FLOODING ONGOING ACROSS WESTERN NY...
A Flood Watch remains in effect for the entire region today
through Friday for multiple flood risks.
Widespread rain today and this evening will change to ice and
then snow tonight. Rainfall amounts of 0.75" to 1.25" are
expected, with additional QPF falling as ice and snow. Very warm
temperatures, higher dewpoints, and a gusty breeze will hasten
snowmelt today. The excessive runoff from rain and rapid
snowmelt will result in significant rises on area rivers,
creeks, and streams. Runoff will also likely result in flooding
of poor drainage areas.
Flooding is ongoing across far western NY with the latest RFC
forecasts suggest many of the larger rivers in Western NY will
reach or exceed flood stage, including all the Buffalo area
creeks, Tonawanda Creek, Cattaraugus Creek, the upper Genesee,
upper Allegheny, Black Creek, and Oatka Creek. This is due to
the combination of rain and snowmelt. Flood warnings are in
effect for most of these locations.
There is also a significant risk of ice jam flooding today and
tonight as the rising water aids in ice breakup. The Buffalo
area creeks and Cattaraugus Creek have a significant history of
ice jam flooding and are at greatest risk. Ice jams may result
in localized areas of greater flood impact as high flows back up
behind ice jams.
