Area forecast discussion, Feb 26, 6:18 PM EST, 2 hours 51 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Buffalo NY 618 PM EST Wed Feb 26 2025 .SYNOPSIS... A wave of low pressure will slide east-northeast from the southern Great Lakes and Ohio Valley tonight before crossing the area Thursday. Initially, temperatures will be warm enough for mainly rain with some wet snow, before colder air arrives Thursday night supporting higher chances for some minor accumulating snow, especially across higher terrain. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/... Low pressure will track across the southern Great Lakes and Ohio Valley tonight. Precipitation will spread across western New York late this evening. Current temperatures suggest rain will be the predominant precipitation type. Some marginal or isothermal profiles do show up tonight, mainly for the higher terrain which would support the idea of some snow for a period of time tonight, especially if rates are high enough which could result in minor slushy accumulations. The surface will track from western New York Thursday morning to the Saint Lawrence Valley by afternoon. Warmer air preceding the low will maintain mostly rain for the early portion of the day. The system cold front will push through the region during the afternoon giving way to more in the way of orographically- forced precipitation east of the lakes, within a moist westerly upslope regime behind the cold front. Cold advection behind the front not overly impressive, so expect the precipitation type to remain mostly rain except for the higher terrain east of the lakes which should go back over to a mix of rain/snow or even all snow through the afternoon. Any slushy accumulations should be minor. Secondary cold front pushes through Thursday night with profiles becoming cold enough for all snow. The greatest precipitation coverage likely found in favored areas of upslope flow east of the lakes. Accumulations for the higher terrain east of Lake Erie look minor and likely staying under 3 inches, with ensembles giving only about a 25 percent chance to exceed 2 inches. The higher terrain east of Lake Ontario should make out a little better with probabilities near 50 percent to exceed 2 inches. && .SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/... A pair of shortwave troughs diving down across the Great Lakes from Canada will deepen a longwave trough over the eastern Great Lakes this period. A slowly filling surface low will track across the Great Lakes Friday and Friday night. Initial band of isentropic lift snow, mixing with rain on the southern edge will expand across our region later Friday and into Friday night. Wet snow of several inches is likely near Lake Ontario and points eastward. There will likely be two additional broken lines of precipitation passing across our region Friday night and Saturday, one with the initial prefrontal trough that will feature more rain than snow...then along the actual cold front early Saturday that will feature snow showers along with a gusty wind. In total advisory level snows east of Lake Ontario are likely in the combined timeframe of Friday night to Saturday where a half foot or more is possible. Non diurnal temperature trend later Friday night and Saturday, with temperatures rising through the second half of the night, then sharply falling Saturday with the passage of the cold front. Lake effect snow behind the cold front will focus upon areas southeast of Lake Ontario by Saturday evening and along the entire southern Lake Ontario shoreline Saturday night and into Sunday. The passage of the mid level trough adding wind shear, along with the veering of the winds to north-northwesterly will keep any upstream connections to downwind of Lake Erie...thus limiting the snow southeast and south of Lake Ontario to just a few inches. A narrow band of lake snow may accumulate across far SW NYS...this aided by an upstream connection to Lake Huron/Georgian Bay. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... Canadian surface high pressure will settle over our region Sunday and into Monday, diminishing lake snows southeast and then east of Lake Ontario by Monday afternoon while also providing for a brief period of much below normal temperatures. Lows Sunday night will reach the single digits for a good portion of our region, and below zero east of Lake Ontario and possibly the traditionally colder spots of the inland Southern Tier. Behind this surface high temperatures will begin to slowly increase...such that by time the next system arrives later Tuesday and Wednesday the precipitation type will mainly be in the form of plain rain. && .AVIATION /23Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... High pressure will slide east of the region through tonight, with mid and high level clouds overspreading into the region from the west. A surface wave will work its way towards the region late this afternoon and tonight, supporting a period of rain that will work from southwest to northeast. The precipitation will be mainly rain or a mix of rain/snow, with a better chance for snow across higher terrain. Conditions will deteriorate to MVFR this evening with IFR conditions developing at most sites tonight. Patchy fog across the Niagara Frontier and higher terrain in the Southern Tier late tonight and Thursday morning. More showery precipitation which will mainly be rain Thursday, although some snow is possible east of Lake Ontario and across higher terrain. Low level moisture will support mainly IFR/MVFR cigs during the day. Outlook... Thursday night...MVFR/IFR ceilings...with mainly rain showers south of Lake Ontario and a mix of rain and snow showers east of Lake Ontario. Friday...VFR/MVFR with morning snow showers/IFR southeast of the lakes diminishing from west to east during the afternoon. Saturday...MVFR/IFR in mixed precipitation. Sunday and Monday...VFR/MVFR with a chance of snow southeast of Lake Ontario. && .MARINE... High pressure pushing east across the lower Great Lakes will allow for generally light and variable winds to persist across into this evening. A frontal wave will work its way across the eastern Great Lakes tonight through Thursday supporting brisk westerlies in the wake of a departing area of low pressure may which may support a round of advisory-worthy conditions on Lake Ontario late Thursday through Friday. A clipper low will move through the region early in the weekend with west-northwesterlies developing behind the system potentially bringing another round of advisory-worthy conditions Saturday into Sunday, especially on Lake Ontario. Winds will weaken by Monday as high pressure build across the lower Great Lakes. && .HYDROLOGY... While there will be a non-zero risk for ice jams on area waterways through midweek given our ongoing spell of milder weather...this risk should tend to remain fairly low given the combination of expected temperatures the next few days and nights (which will run lower compared to the previous 24 hours)...the lack of significant rainfall...and the lack of any real sustained thaws since the start of the year. The latter has likely led to a thicker buildup of ice on our creeks...which should prove tougher to break up and dislodge in the absence of a stronger warmup or significant rainfall. && .BUF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
