Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
1246 AM EST Thu Feb 2 2023
.SYNOPSIS...
Lake effect snow, primarily east of Lake Ontario, will drift north
and weaken tonight. The coldest air mass of the season will arrive
with an arctic front Thursday night into Saturday, with bitterly
cold temperatures and dangerously low wind chill values. The extreme
cold will be relatively short-lived however, with temperatures
moderating by the end of the weekend, and trending back above
seasonal normals for next week.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
Off Lake Ontario...
Lake effect snow will continue overnight off Lake Ontario. The band
was very disorganized a few hours ago, but has since regained some
organization and intensity across the southern half of Jefferson
County and northwest Lewis County. This upswing in organization will
be temporary, with weakening expected again before daybreak.
Winds will become southwest later tonight and direct a weakening
lake effect band northward during the wee hours of the morning. This
will bring the band back into the City of Watertown. Lake effect
snow will further diminish as it moves towards the Saint Lawrence
River Thursday morning. Additional snowfall accumulations of 2-4
inches are possible in the most persistent bands overnight across
the southern half of Jefferson County and northwest Lewis County.
Off Lake Erie...
Flow will back to the southwest tonight and direct any snow showers
north and into Buffalo and the Northtowns. While warm air advection
takes place, an uptick in snow showers is possible as flow becomes
more aligned with the long axis of the lake. Moisture will be
lacking with forecast equilibrium levels near 3k feet. A dusting to
an inch is possible before lake snow ends by Thursday morning.
Low temperatures will fall to the teens to low 20s tonight.
Southwest flow increases Thursday as a strong cold front approaches
from the upper Great Lakes. Winds will increase with gusts up to 40
mph northeast of the Lakes through the afternoon. Snow showers will
begin to enter the far northern reaches of the forecast area by
Thursday afternoon. High temperatures will reach the upper 20s to
low 30s.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
...Bitter Cold by the End of the Work Week...
A full phasing of the longwave pattern leading into this period will
result in a deep trough that will be centered over the eastern half
of North America. The notorious polar vortex will be displaced to
the south in the process, being found in the vicinity of Hudson Bay
and Quebec for the bulk of this period. That means that the coldest
air in the northern hemisphere will be just to our north (H85 -40C /
H925 -36C). Coldest air so far this season, with some gusty winds as
well just to make sure we really feel the 'bite' of this frigid
airmass. The details...
A strong arctic cold front will charge southwards across our
forecast area Thursday evening. The frontal passage will be
accompanied by a burst of moderately heavy snow/blowing snow as
winds gusts up to 35-40 mph with most areas picking up a quick inch
or so of snow. However, localized amounts upwards of a few inches
will be possible across the higher terrain east of the Lakes. If the
associated convection is significant enough, it could lead to snow
squall warnings, especially if it were to impact the I-90/I-87
corridors and/or occur earlier in the evening (i.e. during rush
hour). At this time, appears North Country (I-81 corridor) would
have the best chance of seeing the quick burst of heavier snow that
could impact the tail end of the rush hour.
Winds quickly veer around to the northwest in the wake of the
frontal passage, allowing broad multi-banded lake snows to set up
south/southeast of both Lakes overnight. Temperatures that will be
in the upper 20s to lower 30s early Thursday evening ahead of this
front, will then plunge into the single digits away from the Lakes
(below zero North Country) by daybreak, with below zero wind chills
area wide and well below zero wind chill readings already impacting
the North Country.
Cold advection will continue Friday, as the base of the digging
longwave trough crosses the lower Great Lakes. H85 temps will drop
to as low as -28C over the bulk of the region (sub -30C east of Lake
Ontario) during the course of the day with near surface temps
holding near steady within a few degrees of their overnight lows.
This will translate into daytime highs that will range from single
digits below zero across the North Country, to just the mid single
digits to very low teens across the lake plains and across the
Genesee valley/Finger Lakes region. A northwest wind gusting to 30-
35 mph at times will combine with these frigid temps to generate
dangerously low wind chills that will average 10 to 15 below across
the western counties and 20 to 30 below east of Lake Ontario.
Meanwhile, a cyclonic flow of arctic air crossing the generally open
waters of Lake Ontario will continue to support some light snow to
the tune of an inch or two, with similar amounts southeast of Lake
Erie over the Chautauqua Ridge. Given the bitter cold, this will be
a greasy snowfall featuring plates rather than fluffy dendrites.
Friday night will then guarantee to be the coldest period in recent
memory, as all areas away from the immediate lake shores will easily
drop below zero. Sites east of Lake Ontario will likely experience
mins of 20 to 25 below. While the axis of an arctic high will drift
across the region during the second half of the night, there will be
enough of a gradient to easily generate wind chill values ranging
from the minus teens and lower 20s across the western counties, to
as low as -45 in the vicinity of the Tug Hill/western Dacks.
The confidence is now 'maxed out' for sites east of Lake Ontario for
extreme wind chills...so have UPGRADED the wind chill watch to a
warning. This headline runs from 06z Fri through 18z on Saturday.
While high confidence is in place for wind chill advisories over the
western counties for roughly the same time frame...that type of
headline is not appropriate from this 'distance' from the event.
This headline will be issued in a later forecast package. Will
continue to highlight this in social media and in the HWO product.
While the bitter cold will be slow to loosen its grip on our
forecast area Saturday morning, the core of the coldest air aloft
will have already exited across Quebec and the Labrador Sea. As the
aforementioned surface high moves across New England Saturday
afternoon though, the door will be open for warm advection to
increase over our forecast area. This will bring a screeching halt
to any leftover light snow and will allow the temps over the western
counties to modify into the upper teens and lower 20s by the end of
the day. Sites east of Lake Ontario will make it into the teens,
however readings over the Tug Hill and western Dacks will struggle
to climb out of the single digits.

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
A weak positively tilted mid-level trough across the upper Great
Lakes Sunday morning will sweep southeast across the central and
lower Great Lakes Sunday and Sunday night. This trough will support
a weak surface low over southern Ontario, Canada Sunday morning,
where as this low pulls east, its attendant cold front will sweep
from west to east across the region late Sunday and Sunday night.
Due to the quick and efficient warming ahead of the system the night
prior and during the day on Sunday, precipitation will be a mix of
rain and snow. There will be a better chance for precipitation east
of both lakes due to some lake enhancement.
The aforementioned trough axis will finish crossing and push east of
the region Monday. In its wake, mid-level ridging will push across
the Great Lakes and support surface high pressure to cross overhead
of the area. This will cause any lingering showers to peter out by
Monday morning and then support a rather dry day and night.
Additionally in the wake of the cold front Monday, some chillier air
will have filtered across the region causing temperatures to drop,
though daily highs will remain a few degrees above normal.
The next northern stream mid-level trough will push east across
southern Canada Monday night through Tuesday, pushing its trough
axis across the area late Tuesday and Tuesday night. This being
said, the upper level feature will support a surface low to push
across southern Canada and drag its attendant cold front across the
region Tuesday into Wednesday. Long term guidance now has a few
discrepancies between timing and location of the low pressure track
and therefore better timing of precipitation is hard to pin point
down this far out. However, temperatures at this time will have
warmed up into the 40s by the middle of next week and therefore
mostly rain is expected.
&&
.AVIATION /06Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Lake effect snow will continue through early to mid morning east of
Lake Ontario with local IFR/LIFR in the heavier portion of the band.
The center of the snowband will likely remain just south of KART,
but nonetheless expect a few periods of IFR to cross the airfield
through daybreak on the northern edge of the band. This lake effect
snow will move farther north and quickly weaken this morning, ending
by midday. Off Lake Erie, a band of lake effect clouds will continue
near KBUF through early this morning, but a less favorable
environment will keep the chance of snow low.
Lake effect clouds will scatter out later this morning, leaving a
period of mainly VFR conditions from late morning through late
afternoon. It will turn very windy today, with gusts of 35-40 knots
likely from late morning through the afternoon over and northeast of
Lake Erie and Lake Ontario.
An arctic front will blast through the eastern Great Lakes this
evening, producing one or several quick bursts of snow and gusty
winds with brief LIFR conditions. Northwest flow of very cold air
behind the arctic front will allow widespread, but relatively light
lake effect snow to develop tonight southeast of Lake Ontario and
Lake Erie, impacting much of the region. Cold temperatures and
resulting small snowflakes are typically very efficient at reducing
VSBY, so expect areas of IFR overnight even in light snow.
Outlook...
Friday...Blustery with MVFR/IFR in lake effect snow showers
southeast of the lakes.
Saturday...Mainly VFR.
Sunday...MVFR/VFR with rain and snow showers late.
Monday...VFR.
&&
.MARINE...
Small Craft Advisories remain in effect through late Friday night. A
strong cold front will move across the lakes late Thursday afternoon
through Thursday evening. Winds will increase ahead and behind the
front. Gales are possible on the open water of Lake Ontario during
this time. Small Craft Advisories are likely with northwest winds
Thursday night through Friday night.
With the abnormally cold conditions, some freezing spray will be
possible Friday.
