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 Feb 12, 1:48 PM EST, 1 hour 8 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 12, 1:48 PM EST, 1 hour 8 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Buffalo NY 148 PM EST Mon Feb 12 2024 .SYNOPSIS... A storm system will pass by to our south and east tonight, brushing by our inland Southern Tier with a coating of snow. A mid level disturbance will bring light snow to Western New York later Tuesday, with lake effect snow southeast of the Lakes that will accumulate several inches southeast of Lake Ontario tomorrow night. This snow will end Wednesday, with a brief break of fair weather before the next clipper system brings additional snow and rain Thursday to the region. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/... Cloudy skies this afternoon, that may break for some sun across WNY, before clouds increase from the south as a synoptic storm system passes across the southern mid-Atlantic. Models have come into agreement that this storm will largely miss our region, with perhaps just a coating of snow brushing by far southern Cattaraugus and Allegany counties. Brief clearing with subsidence behind this storm system will give some sunshine to the Finger Lakes and eastern Lake Ontario region tomorrow. To the west a mid level shortwave will reach our region from the west, bringing clouds and light snow to WNY tomorrow afternoon. Behind this shortwave, temperatures aloft at 850 hPa will cool to -8 to -10C such that the widespread, but very light synoptic snow will become lake effect, with snow becoming concentrated southeast of Lake Erie, and late in the afternoon along the southern Lake Ontario shoreline. Through the daylight hours snow accumulation will be minor, with a half to one inch on the Chautauqua Ridge and Boston Hills. Lows tonight will range through the mid to upper 20s, with highs temperatures tomorrow around freezing inland to mid/upper 30s at lower elevations. && .SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/... A more winter-like pattern will become established during the period, with a pair of systems bringing accumulating snow to the region. The first will be a shortwave pivoting around a closed 500mb low centered over Quebec Tuesday night. Moisture from this shortwave and 850mb temps dropping to around -14C will support a period of lake effect snow. Northwest flow will direct lake snows south and east of the lakes, with some general light snow region-wide due to the shortwave. Expecting light snow accumulations Rochester westward, generally in the 1-2 inch range. Better moisture/lift from the shortwave southeast of Lake Ontario where 3 to 5 inches are possible from Wayne to Oswego counties. Lingering lake snows will taper off quickly on Wednesday as high pressure builds across the eastern Great Lakes. The ridge axis will build across the region Wednesday night, providing fair weather and mostly clear skies. Temperatures will be chilly, with highs on Wednesday ranging from the mid 20s to lower 30s which is slightly below normal. Good radiational cooling under the surface high Wednesday night, so hedge with cooler MOS based model guidance. A fairly vigourous clipper low will then track across the region Thursday afternoon/evening. There's good model agreement on the shortwave, but minor differences in it's track will impact precipitation type. On Thursday, expecting mainly snow east of Lake Ontario, with snow or rain possible across the rest of Western NY depending on the track. After the low passes by there will be a brief period of lake effect/enhanced snow Thursday night. Uncertainty in snow amounts across Western NY, with 1 to 3 inches the most likely outcome. More snow expected east of Lake Ontario where advisory level snow amounts of 3 to 6 inches are likely. It'll also be windy behind the departing low Thursday night with gusts of 40 mph possible downwind of the lakes. && .LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... Lake enhanced/effect snow can be expected to start out the day on Friday behind the departing sfc low from Thursday night. Behind the departing low, cold air advection will bring 850H temps down to -12C by around daybreak Friday and slowly cooling through Saturday to -20C by late Saturday afternoon. The best potential for snow off the lakes will occur as the mid level shortwave trough moves through earlier in the day as both synoptic moisture and forcing from the trough will be most favorable. As the trough tracks east of the area during the afternoon and drier air moves into the region the lake response is expected to weaken some, but not completely. East and southeast of Lake Erie an upstream connection with at least Lake Huron that sets up will continue the potential for lake effect snow through most of the afternoon/evening. Winds will be gusty to start on Friday as the sfc low depart to the east, as the pressure gradient over the region weakens, so too should the winds. Friday night through Saturday night, another shortwave trough will track into the region causing any lingering lake effect snow to transition to a period of widespread snow showers and lake enhancement. Best chance for the widespread snow showers expected for Friday evening through around daybreak Saturday. Models are still spread on how much widespread snow is expected with the GFS having a slightly strong shortwave that develops a sfc low vs the Canadian that is weaker with lake enhanced synoptic snow moving through with the trough axis. Behind the passing shortwave trough axis, widespread snow showers will transition more to a lake enhanced then lake effect setup for Saturday through Saturday night. With the area remaining within the larger scale trough, an upstream connection with the Central Great Lakes, and along with brief upticks in synoptic moisture, the lake response off of both Lake Erie and Lake Ontario will remain through at least Saturday night, if not most of the weekend. Sunday and Sunday night, some lingering lake effect snow will be possible, but the timing of an incoming ridge along with warm air advection aloft will determine how long the response off the lakes can last. Lake effect that does remain Sunday morning should taper off through the day and slowly shift north in the process. Weak ridging/zonal flow with a larger ridge over the west will result in mainly dry conditions for Monday ahead of a sfc low that will pass north of the area. A few lingering snow showers northeast of Lake Ontario will still be possible during the morning, with continued scattering out of the lake response through the day. A cold front from the sfc low will track southeast toward the area on Monday night increasing the potential for precipitation. Temperatures for Friday and Saturday will be at least a few degrees below normal with the cooler airmass in place. Temperatures warm to near normal for Sunday. On Monday with the warm air advection, temperatures should be around 5 to 10 degrees higher than normal. && .AVIATION /19Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/... For the 18Z TAFS a deck of MVFR to low end VFR ceiling heights are upon the region. These lower clouds may scatter out across WNY later this afternoon and evening before low level moisture/clouds fill back in from the south from a passing storm system. This system is not expected to bring any snow to our TAF sites. Backing winds later tonight behind this system. A weak wave will bring light snow back into WNY tomorrow with MVFR ceiling heights. This widespread, very light snow will become concentrated south and southeast of the Lakes later tomorrow and tomorrow evening with cold air increasing aloft. Outlook... Tuesday night...IFR in lake effect snow between KROC and KART, and IFR in snow early near KJHW. Wednesday...VFR/MVFR with a chance of snow showers southeast of Lake Ontario early. Thursday...IFR/MVFR in snow Thursday, that may mix with rain across WNY. Friday and Saturday...MVFR/VFR in scattered snow showers. && .MARINE... High pressure will keep fair dry weather in place throughout the Lower Great Lakes today with only gentle to occasional moderate breezes and negligible waves expected. A storm system will pass by WELL to the south of the region tonight. This will prompt winds to shift to the east northeast and eventually to freshen towards Tuesday morning. Tuesday...moderate to fresh northeasterlies early will back to the west northwest during the afternoon. This will generate small craft advisory conditions on Lake Ontario...so a fresh round of headlines can be expected in a later forecast package. && .BUF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NY...None.
