Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
129 PM EST Wed Feb 12 2025
.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure will move across the eastern Great Lakes tonight
and early Thursday, bringing some light snow which will quickly
changing to a wintry mix, and then to rain in most areas. Rain
showers early Thursday will change back to snow showers as much
colder air pours back into the region, with accumulating lake
effect snow east and southeast of Lake Ontario and Lake Erie
late Thursday through Friday. Another low will pass by near or
just to our south, bringing the chance for more accumulating
snows across the entire region during the weekend.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
A broad area of low pressure centered across the Ohio Valley
this afternoon will strengthen as it tracks across the Eastern
Great Lakes tonight and into Thursday. Mid-level warm air
advection ahead of this system will cause snow to spread into
the region late this afternoon and evening, but due to the track
of the low temperatures aloft will change the snow over to a
wintry mix this evening at most locations. Snow accumulations
before the changeover will be an inch or less south of I-90,
with slightly more north of this, generally 1 to 3 inches in
the Buffalo and Rochester metro areas and the Niagara Frontier.
The one notable exception will be far northern Jefferson County,
where precipitation will remain snow for most of the evening,
resulting in accumulations of 4 to 7 inches.
A wintry mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain during this
evening will eventually change over to all rain late tonight.
This changeover will be slower in some Southern Tier Valleys,
the Tug Hill region, and in Niagara and Orleans counties where
the northeast winds will last longest. Overall ice accumulations
will mainly be only a few hundredths of an inch at most
locations, around one tenth of an inch in the areas mentioned
above. It's also worth noting that due to the frozen ground,
rain may continue to freeze on untreated road and sidewalk
surfaces even after the surface temperature rises above freezing
late tonight.
The surface low will move down the Saint Lawrence Valley
Thursday, with a strong cold front sweeping from Western NY at
mid morning to the eastern Lake Ontario region by early
afternoon. Colder air pouring back into the region will change
rain back to snow, and bands of lake effect snow will begin to
develop during the afternoon east of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario.
Expect minor accumulations (generally less than 2 inches) through
the day.
Finally, winds will become quite gusty tonight through Thursday. A
strong 50+ knot SSW low level jet will cross the eastern Great Lakes
tonight. A favorable low level inversion and stable layer near the
hilltops will allow for downslope winds to develop in the typical
locations, including the Lake Erie shore, Finger Lakes, and along
the north slopes of the Tug Hill Plateau. Gusts may reach 40-50 mph
at times. Winds will increase out of the west and southwest Thursday
behind the cold front, with gusts in the 35-45 mph range.
&&
.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
Behind the departing low, CAA ramps up sending H850 T's down to
-16C to -18C across the Lower Lakes by Friday morning. All the
ingredients are coming together with deep moisture, EQL surpassing
9K feet, and well aligned flow (WNW) which will support accumulating
LES, especially off Lake Ontario. Lake snows begin to become more
organized Thursday evening east of the Lake Ontario as colder air
rushes into the region. As flow becomes more NW'erly lake snows will
then settle south Thursday night across S. Oswego and N. Cayuga,
possibly even making it into parts of Wayne County. Given upstream
priming and overall model consistency, confident that we will see
significant accumulations. Have issued a Winter Storm Watch for LES
beginning 00Z Fri thru 03Z Sat.
Off Lake Erie...a bit of a different story will unfold but it is
'not' out of the question that we could see decent accumulating
snows. The bigger 'unknown' is how much 'ice' is covering the lake
and how it will impact LES. Some guidance suggest that we may see a
brief window of LES or a band form. Looking at Bufkit sounding
profiles EQL do climb briefly up to 9k, and moisture extends well
through the DGZ Thursday evening through the first part of the
night. After that...high pressure builds in and EQL levels fall
which will begin to limit the extent of the lake response. That
said...we could see some locales pick up several inches or even
high end advisory amounts. Again it will all depend on how much
'ice' coverage there is. For now will continue to mention the
potential for accumulating snows in the HWO.
While lake snows wrap up fairly quickly off Lake Erie Friday
morning, lake snows will continue off Lake Ontario through atleast
Friday afternoon. It will not be until Friday evening that lake
snows off Ontario wrap up or become negligible. This will occur as
drier air filters into the region and the environment becomes
unfavorable.
Other than some lingering flurries or light snow showers east of
Lake Ontario, quiet weather is expected Friday night ahead of the
next system. High pressure overhead quickly gets kicked out
Saturday, with low pressure bringing in our next area of light snow
from the west. Widespread light snow will work across the entire
area from west to east with a general 2-4" across Lower Lakes
Saturday.
No rest for the weary...on the heals of this weak low pressure
system, a stronger low will potentially bring another round of
accumulating snow or even a wintry mix. More on that in the long
term disco.
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
A potentially stronger low pressure system Saturday night-Sunday
will follow the weaker low. A plethora of precip types will be
possible with this system and will be contingent upon the exact
track, which may be 'a lot' closer to our region. Best chances for
all snow will be across the North Country, with a mixed rain/snow
toward the NY/PA line. Latest model guidance suggests that the
stronger wave will pass either just southeast of our area or
possibly right across our area late Saturday night through Sunday,
with the likelihood for a fairly strong surface low (sub 990 mb)
moving from the Ohio Valley to the Northeast. This second wave has
the potential to produce heavy snow or a mix of rain and snow if the
system tracks right across our area, especially with a stronger low
having the potential to advect in even warmer air from the south.
This will also have the potential to bring some stronger winds to
the region, the degree to which will also be tied to the track of
the low.
Bitterly cold airmass accompanied by some gusty winds then set to
pour across the lower Great Lakes region and Northeast for the first
half of the new work week. Expect highs in the single digits and
teens, with lows ranging from the mid single digits to below zero
across the higher terrain. Would not be surprised if cold weather
headlines are eventually needed for a least a portion of our area
during this timeframe. As an added bonus, there will also be the
potential for accumulating lake snows east and southeast of the
lakes.

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
An area of light snow will overspread the area quickly from
southwest to northeast late this afternoon, then change to a
brief period of wintry mix before changing to all rain in most
areas tonight. For most of the region, including the
KBUF/KIAG/KROC/KJHW TAF sites, impacts will be minor with less
than 2 inches of snow and a tenth of an inch or less of ice.
Snow will last a bit longer at KART where several inches is
likely before the change to ice.
It will turn quite windy tonight, especially across higher
terrain and in downslope areas from the Southern Tier into the
Finger Lakes and North Country, with gusts of 30-40 knots out of
the south. There may be also be some low level wind shear at
times when surface gusts drop off, as a 50+ knot SSW low level
jet crosses the eastern Great Lakes.
Rain showers will change to snow showers from west to east during
Thursday with the passage of a cold front. Accumulations and
vsby restrictions will again be minor for most of the day, but
snow will pick up east and southeast of the lakes late in the
day, potentially impacting KJHW.
Outlook...
Thursday night...IFR in lake effect snow SE of lakes, otherwise
VFR/MVFR with scattered snow showers.
Friday...VFR/MVFR with a chance of snow showers. Local IFR in
lake effect snow southeast of Lake Ontario.
Saturday and Sunday...IFR/LIFR in snow, possibly mixed with rain
at times.
Monday...VFR/MVFR. A chance of snow showers.
&&
.MARINE...
Low pressure will move into the Ohio Valley this evening, then reach
the western end of Lake Ontario by early Thursday morning before
moving down the Saint Lawrence Valley Thursday afternoon. East
to northeast winds have picked up this afternoon and will
continue to increase some, supporting high end Small Craft
Advisory conditions on the west half of Lake Ontario.
The easterly winds will swing around to southerly tonight as the low
approaches, then become westerly Thursday following the passage of
the associated strong cold front. Winds will quickly increase
Thursday, with gale force winds likely on Lake Ontario in the
afternoon and evening, with sustained winds of 25-30 knots on Lake
Erie. Winds will gradually diminish later Thursday night through
Friday.
