What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this wind 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 wind advisory went out at Jan 9, 10:27 PM EST, 2 hours 23 minutes earlier. Its key messages:

  • 1) Snowmelt due to unseasonably mild temperatures and rain will result in increased runoff through this weekend. Some gages in the Buffalo Creeks are in action stage, but expected to stay below flood stage. There is a low chance for any river/creek or ice jam flooding. 2) Another storm system will bring a period of gusty winds late Saturday night and Sunday, and the potential for a wintry mix for the Tug Hill Plateau and Saint Lawrence Valley Saturday evening. 3) It will turn colder Sunday...with a relatively short window of accumulating lake effect snow downwind of the eastern Great Lakes Sunday and Sunday night. There is high confidence that it will turn even colder late next work week.

.WHAT HAS CHANGED...
All wind headlines have been canceled.

&&

.KEY MESSAGES...
1) Snowmelt due to unseasonably mild temperatures and rain will
result in increased runoff through this weekend. Some gages in the
Buffalo Creeks are in action stage, but expected to stay below flood
stage. There is a low chance for any river/creek or ice jam flooding.

2) Another storm system will bring a period of gusty winds late
Saturday night and Sunday, and the potential for a wintry mix for
the Tug Hill Plateau and Saint Lawrence Valley Saturday evening.

3) It will turn colder Sunday...with a relatively short window of
accumulating lake effect snow downwind of the eastern Great Lakes
Sunday and Sunday night. There is high confidence that it will turn
even colder late next work week.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...Snowmelt due to unseasonably mild temperatures and
rain will result in increased runoff through this weekend. Some
gages in the Buffalo Creeks are in action stage and forecast to stay
below flood stage. There is a low chance for any river/creek or ice
jam flooding.

Rainfall amounts have ranged from 0.25-0.40" across far western NY
with less than 0.25" across the Finger Lakes region today. Rainfall
amounts have ranged from 0.25-0.70" across the Lake Ontario region
today. Additional rainfall amounts of up to 0.30" is possible on the
Tug Hill, less than 0.10" elsewhere today. A second area of low
pressure will bring another round of widespread rain late Saturday
into Saturday night. Forecast rainfall amounts of 0.25-0.50" is
expected Saturday through Saturday night. While overall rainfall
amounts from each system will not be particularly significant, the
combination of this rainfall and snowmelt due to continued mild
temperatures through Saturday will result in increased runoff.

While this will result in elevated streamflow in area rivers and
creeks...MMEFS data suggests that only a few of the Buffalo area
creeks may reach action stage...with very little risk of reaching
minor flood stage.

KEY MESSAGE 2...Another storm system will bring a period of gusty
winds late Saturday night and Sunday, and the potential for a wintry
mix for the Tug Hill Plateau and Saint Lawrence Valley Saturday
evening.

The next Pacific-based trough will deepen across the Mid-West and
Ohio Valley Saturday through Saturday night before moving across the
eastern Great Lakes region Sunday. Low pressure will deepen across
the Central Great Lakes Saturday night, and move north of the
forecast area Sunday. A strengthening low-level jet will move across
the forecast area with a plume of mild air and moisture Saturday
night. Most locations will be well above freezing, with the
exception of the Saint Lawrence Valley and Tug Hill Plateau, where a
wintry mix is possible as precipitation moves into the region
Saturday evening. Warm air will likely take over the colder air at
the surface and precipitation will change over to all rain (however
brief.) A cold front is expected to move across the region Saturday
night and gusty winds up to 50 mph are possible across far western
NY. Elsewhere, gusty winds up to 40 mph are possible. A Wind
Advisory is possible for locations adjacent and northeast of Lake
Erie.

KEY MESSAGE 3...It will turn colder Sunday...with a round of
accumulating lake effect snow expected downwind of the eastern Great
Lakes Sunday and Sunday night.

In the wake of Saturday night's cold front...steady cold air
advection will result in 850 mb temps falling to -8C to -10C by the
start of Sunday morning...then into the -11C to -14C range during
the day Sunday. In the presence of a swath of deeper wraparound
moisture pivoting eastward across the area...this will allow for a
period of accumulating lake enhanced/lake effect snow downwind of
the lakes...particularly from Sunday afternoon into Sunday evening
when synoptic moisture will be most favorable.

Initially...a general WSW flow may allow weak lake snows to first
develop across the Buffalo/Watertown areas by later Sunday
morning...with the snows then shifting south to areas east and east-
southeast of the lakes and gaining some strength Sunday afternoon
and evening as winds slowly veer and the aforementioned deeper
moisture arrives. The bulk of the accumulations should tend to focus
across areas east and east-southeast of the lakes owing to the
timing of the deeper moisture and an added boost from upslope
flow...though the expected movement of the lake bands may tend to
keep accumulations on the moderate side. The lake snows will then
wind down fairly quickly from west to east later Sunday night and
Monday morning as high pressure and much drier air build across the
region...with just a few remnant flurries/snow showers then lifting
back northward during Monday as winds back again.

Looking at the 500mb and 850mb pattern for the second half of next
week, multiple troughs will cycle through the Great Lakes region and
chances are leaning towards near to below normal temperatures.

&&

.AVIATION /03Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
High pressure will build across the region tonight behind a cold
front and associated rain showers that have pushed east of the area,
although breezy to windy conditions will persist through mid to late
evening before quickly diminishing overnight as powerful LLJ pulls
east of the region. Otherwise, MVFR CIGS are found across much of
the region currently and will persist through tonight, with IFR CIGS
developing across the higher terrain (including KJHW). Intermittent
periods of VFR will be possible at KIAG, and especially KART through
the overnight as well.

Expect dry weather through midday Saturday before rain showers
slowly increase from south to north through the second half of the
day. Mainly MVFR/low VFR CIGS are expected to persist across areas
south of Lake Ontario through the day, before deteriorating to IFR
across the Southern Tier late in the TAF period. North Country is
expected to see mainly VFR flight conditions through the day.

Winds will be mainly light through the day, then start to increase
toward the tail end of the TAF period.

Outlook...

Saturday night...IFR/MVFR with rain showers mixing with and
gradually changing over to snow through the overnight.due to rain
later in the day and mixing with or changing over to snow at night.

Sunday...MVFR/local IFR in snow showers, especially east of the
lakes. Windy with southwesterly/westerly gusts to 40 knots possible.

Monday...Lingering snow showers possible east of the lakes,
otherwise VFR.

Tuesday...Mainly rain showers possible, with some higher elevation
snow. Mainly VFR, however IFR is possible within snow showers.

Wednesday...MVFR/IFR possible due to rain showers and mix of rain
and snow showers.

&&

.MARINE...
Winds will diminish overnight, however Small Craft Advisories have
replaced Gale Warnings on both lakes. Small craft headlines will
expire from west to east through the overnight into early Saturday
morning.

There will be a brief lull in the winds and waves Saturday before
winds increase from the east with a second storm system for the
remainder of the weekend. This will bring greater wave action along
the western Lake Ontario waters Saturday and Saturday evening. Winds
become southwesterly Sunday, potentially again to near gale force.
Elevated southwest to westerly flow Monday and through mid-week will
maintain small craft conditions on the lakes.
