Damaging Wind in New York, February 11, 2009

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
852 PM EST WED FEB 11 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE FROM MICHIGAN THIS EVENING ALONG THE NORTH
SHORE OF LAKE ONTARIO...TO NEW ENGLAND BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON. A
SHARP COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE REGION TONIGHT, WITH RAIN
SHOWERS WHICH WILL TURN TO SNOW ON THURSDAY, ALONG WITH STRONG
WINDS. RELATIVELY DRY AND SEASONABLY CHILLY CONDITIONS WILL THEN
FOLLOW FOR THE UPCOMING WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
UPDATE AS OF 835 PM...
A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE EIGHT WESTERN
COUNTIES UNTIL 1 AM. A ZONE UPDATE HAS BEEN ISSUED.

4 PM  DISCUSSION BELOW...

WARM FRONT PARKED OVER WESTERN AND NORTHERN NEW YORK WILL PROVIDE
A RAINY LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING BEFORE THE FRONT LIFTS
FARTHER TO THE NORTH. RAIN MAY CONTINUE OVER THE NORTH COUNTRY FOR
MUCH OF THE EVENING AS THE FRONT STALLS ALONG THE SAINT LAWRENCE
VALLEY.

DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE OVER THE MIDWESTERN STATES WILL MOVE TO THE
CENTRAL GREAT LAKES WITH A COLD FRONT LIFTING NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS
THE OHIO VALLEY DURING THE EARLY OVERNIGHT. THE FRONT MAY BE
PRECEDED BY A CONVECTIVE LINE WHICH WILL LIKELY MOVE ACROSS WESTERN
NEW YORK AROUND 10PM...THEN TO THE FINGER LAKES AND LAKE ONTARIO
AROUND MIDNIGHT AND THEN WEAKEN AS IT REACHES THE NORTH COUNTRY
AFTER MIDNIGHT. THE CONVECTIVE LINE MAY BE ACCOMPANIED BY
THUNDERSTORMS AND THE POTENTIAL FOR CONVECTIVE WIND GUSTS.  THE
SURFACE LOW WILL THEN MOVE TO JUST NORTH OF LAKE ONTARIO AND THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT ALONG THE WESTERN FLANK OF THE LOW WILL BRING THE
THREAT OF STRONG WINDS DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AND LAST THROUGH
MUCH OF THURSDAY.

IN SUPPORT OF THE HIGH WIND WARNING IN EFFECT FOR MOST OF THE
FORECAST AREA FROM 3AM TO 6PM THURSDAY...1.5 PVU POTENTIAL VORTICITY
FIELD ON THE 12Z NAM12 AND GFS SHOW A WELL DEFINED PV INTRUSION
ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER LOW WHICH WILL CROSS WESTERN TO CENTRAL NY
LATE TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING. THIS FEATURE IS WELL
CORRELATED WITH THE OBSERVED WINDS GUSTING FROM 45 TO 60 MPH ACROSS
SOUTHERN MISSOURI TO WESTERN KENTUCKY AND TENNESSEE AT 18Z TO 19Z.

ASIDE FROM THE HIGH WINDS FORECAST FOR THURSDAY...FOLLOWING THE
PASSAGE OF THE COLD FRONT LATE TONIGHT...WE EXPECT SNOW TO DEVELOP
IN THE WAKE TO THE LOW PRESSURE AREA. STARTING SOMETIME BETWEEN
SUNRISE AND MID MORNING...THE SNOW WILL AFFECT MUCH OF WESTERN NY
WEST OF THE GENESEE VALLEY AND WILL BE AGGRAVATED BY THE STRONG
WINDS WITH BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW AND PERIODS OF WHITEOUT
CONDITIONS. 3 TO 7 INCHES OF SNOW MAY ACCUMULATE OVER WESTERN
NY...ESPECIALLY OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN TO THE EAST AND SOUTH OF
BUFFALO. SNOW WILL ARRIVE ACROSS THE TUG HILL REGION AROUND MID DAY
AND CONTINUE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY NIGHT. 4 TO 6 INCHES OF
SNOW IS EXPECTED OVER THE TUG HILL...AND ALSO ACCOMPANIED BY WINDS
AND BLOWING SNOW.

TEMPERATURES WILL SHOW A FALLING TREND FROM THE MILD CONDITIONS OF
THIS EVENING. TEMPS IN THE MID 40S TO MID 50S UP UNTIL AROUND
MIDNIGHT WILL BE FALLING TO THE MID 20S TO LOW 30S BY LATE THURSDAY
AFTERNOON.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
THE STORMY CONDITIONS BEHIND THE DEPARTING LOW WILL SUBSIDE THURSDAY
NIGHT, WITH WINDS AND SNOW SUBSIDING OVERNIGHT. A SECONDARY FRONT
WILL KEEP CLOUDS OVER THE AREA WITH SNOW LINGERING ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN TIER A LITTLE LONGER. COLDER AIR MOVES IN BEHIND THE FRONT
ON FRIDAY WITH A CHANCE OF WEAK LAKE SNOWS SOUTHEAST OF LAKE ONTARIO
AND IN CONVERGENCE OVER THE CHAUTAUQUA RIDGE. WIND SHEAR WITH A WEAK
RIDGE SHOULD END THE SNOW SHOWERS FRIDAY AFTERNOON WITH FAIR BUT
SEASONABLY COLD TEMPERATURES THROUGH SATURDAY. THE GFS PUSHES A LOW
ACROSS SOUTHERN PENNSYLVANIA ON SATURDAY, WHILE THE 12Z ECMWF HOLDS
IF FURTHER WEST AND SOUTH, AND WE HAVE CONTINUED WITH A CHANCE OF
SNOW ON SATURDAY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN TIER.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THE MODELS DIVERGE DURING THE PERIOD, BUT KEEP THE MAIN STORM TRACK
SOUTH OF OUR AREA. THERE IS AGREEMENT ON A NORTHERLY FLOW OF COLD
AIR MONDAY AND WE HAVE A CHANCE OF LAKE SNOWS SOUTH OF LAKE ONTARIO.
THE ECMWF SHOWS A STORM MOVING ACROSS THE APPALACHIANS WEDNESDAY
WHICH GIVES A CHANCE OF SNOW IN THE SOUTHERN TIER.

&&

.AVIATION /02Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
A DEEP LOW CENTERED OVER SOUTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN THIS EVENING WILL
PRODUCE A WIDE AREA OF SHOWERS AND A FEW EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS OVERNIGHT
FROM WEST TO EAST WITH CONDITIONS DROPPING TO MVFR AND IFR. LLWS
WILL BE A PROBLEM AS WELL WITH SOME STRONG SURFACE WIND GUSTS
POSSIBLE IF THE STRONG WINDS MIX DOWN IN THE CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY.
VERY WINDY THURSDAY WITH SNOW AND WIDESPREAD IFR CONDITIONS ON THE
BACK SIDE OF THE DEEP LOW.

OUTLOOK...
THURSDAY NIGHT...MVFR/IFR IN SNOW SHOWERS.
FRIDAY...MVFR/IFR IN SNOW SHOWERS.
SATURDAY...MVFR POSSIBLE IN SNOW.
SUNDAY...VFR.
MONDAY...MVFR IN SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS.

&&

.MARINE...
LIGHT SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL BACK TO SOUTHEAST AND EAST FOR AWHILE
TODAY BEFORE SHIFTING ABRUPTLY TO WESTERLY BY DAYBREAK THURSDAY AS
COLD FRONT CROSSES LAKE ONTARIO. A DEEP LOW WILL PASS RIGHT ALONG
THE NORTH SHORE OF THE LAKE EARLY THURSDAY AND BE FOLLOWED BY A
SHARP COLD FRONT WHICH WILL ABRUPTLY SHIFT WINDS TO WESTERLY UPON
ITS PASSAGE. THEY WILL INCREASE TO NEAR GALE FORCE DURING THE
MORNING BEFORE GRADUALLY VEERING TO NORTHWEST AND DIMINISHING BY
EVENING. GALE WARNINGS HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR LAKE ONTARIO AND ITS
NEARSHORES FROM 8 AM TO 8 PM THURSDAY.

NORTHWEST WINDS WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH FRIDAY NIGHT WITH LIGHT TO
MODERATE NORTHERLIES CONTINUING THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

COMBINATION OF ICE JAMMING AND RUNOFF. A NEW SLUG OF RAIN IS
