The episode as NWS BUF wrote it up.
Deep low pressure lifted across the Great Lakes region. The system brought strong winds to much of the region on Friday, November 1st. Winds gusted as high as 62 mph. The strong winds downed trees and power lines throughout the region. Power outages were in the tens of thousands. In addition to minor structural damage to homes and building, a number of houses and automobiles were damaged by falling trees and limbs. In Buffalo, one person was injured when a large limb fell hitting a car and a pedestrian. Reports of damage were received from Niagara Falls, Buffalo, Angol, Hulberton, Rochester, Batavia, Portageville, Geneseo, Bristol, Butler Center, Ira, Albion Center, Watertown and Lowville. Specific measured wind gusts included: 62 mph at the Buffalo Coast Guard Station, 60 mph at Barcelona Harbor and Kenmore, 59 mph at Buffalo Airport and Niagara Falls Airport, 58 mph at Dunkirk Airport, 56 mph at Rochester Airport, 55 mph at the Oswego Coast Guard Station, 54 mph at Alabama, and |50 mph at Watertown Airport.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
1146 PM EDT THU OCT 31 2013
.SYNOPSIS...
A POTENT STORM SYSTEM WILL LIFT NORTHEAST ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES
TONIGHT AND FRIDAY. THIS SYSTEM WILL BRING PERIODS OF RAIN AND
CONTINUED ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES TONIGHT...FOLLOWED BY STRONG
WINDS AND A RETURN TO SOMEWHAT COOLER TEMPERATURES ON FRIDAY. THE
WINDS WILL DIMINISH LATER FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND FRIDAY NIGHT...WITH
A SECOND AND WEAKER LOW THEN BRINGING ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND
COLDER TEMPERATURES ON SATURDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
DURING THIS PERIOD...LOW PRESSURE OVER THE UPPER MIDWEST WILL
RAPIDLY DEEPEN AND LIFT NORTHEASTWARD TO LAKE HURON TONIGHT...BEFORE
MOVING ON TO CENTRAL QUEBEC DURING THE COURSE OF FRIDAY. THE
ASSOCIATED WARM FRONT HAS ALREADY LIFTED NORTH OF LAKE ONTARIO AND
THE SAINT LAWRENCE VALLEY...AND NOW THE ATTENTION TURNS TO ITS
TRAILING COLD FRONT THAT WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE REGION DURING THE WEE
HOURS OF FRIDAY MORNING.
IN TERMS OF PRECIPITATION POTENTIAL...WIDESPREAD RAIN WILL GRADUALLY
BECOME MORE SHOWERY DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS...POSSIBLY
ACCOMPANIED BY A NARROW LINE OF CONVECTION AS THE COLD FRONT NEARS.
ONCE THE FRONT PASSES BY DAYBREAK...THE PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL
QUICKLY TAPER OFF FROM WEST TO EAST AS SIGNIFICANT MID LEVEL DRYING
(DRY SLOT) OVERSPREADS THE REGION. THIS WILL LEAD TO A RETURN TO
MAINLY DRY AND PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY CONDITIONS FOR THE BULK OF THE
REGION FOR LATE FRIDAY MORNING/FRIDAY AFTERNOON. THE LONE EXCEPTION
TO THIS WILL BE ACROSS THE NORTH COUNTRY...WHERE LINGERING SURFACE
TROUGHING IN THE WAKE OF THE LOW MAY ALLOW SOME SCATTERED LIGHT
SHOWERS TO LINGER THROUGH THE DAY.
THE ABOVE STATED...WIND REMAINS THE BIG FORECAST CONCERN WITH THIS
SYSTEM AS IT RAPIDLY DEEPENS AND PASSES BY TO OUR NORTHWEST...A
PATTERN THAT IS FAVORABLE FOR STRONG WINDS ACROSS OUR REGION. THE
COMBINATION OF THE TIGHTENING PRESSURE GRADIENT IN ADVANCE OF THE
LOW AND A DEVELOPING 70-80 KNOT LOW LEVEL JET WILL RESULT IN A
STRENGTHENING SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL FLOW AND BREEZY TO WINDY
CONDITIONS ACROSS OUR REGION TONIGHT...WITH SOME OF THE HIGHER
TERRAIN POSSIBLY SEEING SOME ADVISORY-TYPE SUSTAINED WINDS/WIND
GUSTS AS SOME OF THE HIGHER MOMENTUM AIR FROM ALOFT GETS PARTIALLY
MIXED DOWN TO THE SURFACE. BY FAR THOUGH...THE GREATER POTENTIAL FOR
STRONGER WINDS WILL COME BEHIND THE COLD FRONT LATE TONIGHT AND THE
FIRST PART OF FRIDAY...WHEN INCREASING COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL HELP
TO MORE EFFICIENTLY TRANSPORT THE HIGHER WINDS FROM ALOFT DOWN TO
THE SURFACE. THIS WILL RESULT IN SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS INCREASING TO
THE 25-40 MPH RANGE...WITH WIND GUSTS INCREASING TO BETWEEN 50-60
MPH. THESE WILL BE HIGHEST DOWNWIND OF THE LAKES WHERE FUNNELING
EFFECTS WILL COME INTO PLAY...AND SOMEWHAT LOWER FURTHER INLAND
WHERE THE PREVAILING SOUTHWESTERLY WIND DIRECTION AND WINDS ALOFT
WILL BOTH BE LESS FAVORABLE FOR STRONGER WIND GUSTS. WITH THE ABOVE
IN MIND...HIGH WIND WARNINGS AND WIND ADVISORIES REMAIN IN EFFECT AS
OUTLINED BELOW. AS STATED ABOVE...EXPECT THE STRONGEST WINDS TO
OCCUR BETWEEN ABOUT 10 AND 16Z...BEFORE SLOWLY DIMINISHING DURING
THE AFTERNOON AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT AND ASSOCIATED WIND FIELDS
BEGIN TO WEAKEN.
IN ADDITION TO THE STRONG GRADIENT WINDS...THERE IS ALSO AN OUTSIDE
CHANCE OF SOME STRONG CONVECTIVELY-DRIVEN WIND GUSTS ALONG AND JUST
AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE DURING THE PRE DAWN HOURS OF THIS
MORNING. WHILE AVAILABLE INSTABILITY WILL BE RATHER MEAGER AND WILL
ONLY RANGE IN THE VICINITY OF 200-300 J/KG...THIS COULD BE ENOUGH TO
RESULT IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF SOME ISOLATED STRONGER CONVECTIVE
ELEMENTS CAPABLE OF GENERATING SOME LIGHTNING...ESPECIALLY GIVEN
THE STRONG/DEEP LARGE SCALE FORCING THAT WILL BE IN PLAY. SHOULD
THESE DEVELOP...THESE COULD EASILY TAP INTO THE STRONG WIND FIELDS
THAT WILL BE IN PLACE AND SUBSEQUENTLY PRODUCE SOME SEVERE-CRITERIA
WIND GUSTS AT THE SURFACE...AS IS HINTED AT IN THE LATEST SPC DAY 1
CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK WHICH BRINGS A LOW RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
INTO FAR WESTERN NEW YORK LATE TONIGHT. WHILE THIS POTENTIAL IS
RELATIVELY LOW...THIS WILL NEED TO BE CLOSELY MONITORED THROUGH THE
COURSE OF THE UPCOMING EVENING AND NIGHT.
IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE STRONG WINDS...THERE ALSO APPEARS TO AT
LEAST SOME POTENTIAL FOR SOME LOWER-END LAKESHORE FLOODING CONCERNS
AT THE EASTERN END OF LAKE ERIE LATE TONIGHT AND FRIDAY. WHILE NOT A
CLASSIC SEICHE SCENARIO...THE STRONG SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW UP THE LAKE
MAY STILL PUSH WATER LEVELS AT THE EAST END OF THE LAKE TO AS HIGH
AS 6 FEET ABOVE LOW WATER DATUM...AND THIS COUPLED WITH WAVE ACTION
MAY HELP TO PRODUCE SOME MINOR EROSION/FLOODING CONCERNS ALONG THE
ERIE COUNTY LAKE SHORE. WITH THIS IN MIND...WE HAVE ISSUED A
LAKESHORE FLOOD ADVISORY FOR ERIE COUNTY AS OUTLINED BELOW.
WITH RESPECT TO TEMPS...EXPECT VERY MILD READINGS IN THE UPPER
50S/LOWER 60S FOR MUCH OF THE OVERNIGHT...WITH MODEST COLD AIR
ADVECTION THEN HELPING TO KEEP TEMPS CAPPED TO THE UPPER 50S TO
LOWER-MID 60S FRIDAY...WITH THE WARMEST READINGS FOUND ACROSS THE
GENESEE VALLEY AND FINGER LAKES.
&&
.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
BY FRIDAY EVENING WINDS WILL HAVE DIMINISHED SIGNIFICANTLY AS STRONG
LOW PRESSURE EXITS INTO THE CANADIAN MARITIMES. COOLER AIR WILL
GRADUALLY FILTER IN OVERNIGHT...AND MAY BECOME MARGINALLY COLD
ENOUGH FOR A FEW SCATTERED LIGHT SHOWERS EAST AND NORTHEAST OF THE
LAKES. INSTABILITY DOES NOT BECOME SIGNIFICANT UNTIL DURING THE DAY
SATURDAY HOWEVER...SO HAVE RESTRICTED POPS TO LOW CHANCE FOR FRIDAY
NIGHT. ANY BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS WILL FILL BACK IN OVERNIGHT AS
DEEPER WRAP AROUND MOISTURE ARRIVES.
ON SATURDAY ANOTHER WEAKER MID LEVEL TROUGH WILL CROSS THE GREAT
LAKES AND OHIO VALLEY...WITH A WEAK SURFACE REFLECTION IN THE FORM
OF A TROUGH AND FRONTAL WAVE MOVING THROUGH THE LOWER LAKES. AS
COLDER AIR SLOWLY DEEPENS AND THE COLUMN SATURATES...LAKE INDUCED
INSTABILITY WILL INCREASE WITH EQUILIBRIUM LEVELS RISING TO 10-13K
FEET. THIS WILL SUPPORT INCREASING CHANCES OF LAKE EFFECT RAIN
SHOWERS EAST AND NORTHEAST OF THE LAKES DURING THE MORNING. THE
SURFACE TROUGH WILL DROP SOUTH ACROSS THE AREA DURING THE LATE
AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING...PUSHING LAKE EFFECT SHOWERS SOUTH
ACROSS THE REGION. THE TROUGH WILL LIKELY CAPTURE THE LAKE ONTARIO
SHOWERS...WITH A BAND OF SHOWERS PUSHING WELL INLAND OFF THE LAKE
ACROSS THE THRUWAY CORRIDOR AND INTO THE SOUTHERN TIER. THE NET
RESULT WILL BE THE LIKELIHOOD OF SHOWERS IN MOST AREAS...EVEN
OUTSIDE OF THE TRADITIONAL LAKE EFFECT AREAS DURING THE LATE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
IT WILL STILL BE RELATIVELY MILD ON SATURDAY AHEAD OF THE SECONDARY
TROUGH...WITH LOWER ELEVATIONS REACHING THE LOW TO MID 50S AND
HIGHER TERRAIN IN THE UPPER 40S.
BEHIND THE SURFACE TROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION
WILL DEVELOP. LAKE ENHANCED SHOWERS WILL TRANSITION TO PURE LAKE
EFFECT OVERNIGHT TO THE SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST OF THE LAKES ON NNW
FLOW. THIS WILL ALLOW WEAK BANDS OF SHOWERS TO SPREAD OUT OVER A
LARGE AREA SOUTHEAST OF THE LAKES...WITH THE MOST CONCENTRATED
ACTIVITY LIKELY ALONG THE CHAUTAUQUA RIDGE OFF LAKE ERIE AND FROM
THE GENESEE VALLEY INTO THE FINGER LAKES OFF LAKE ONTARIO. THE
AIRMASS WILL BECOME COLD ENOUGH TO CHANGE THE RAIN SHOWERS OVER TO
SNOW SHOWERS AFTER MIDNIGHT...BUT BY THIS TIME MUCH OF THE DEEPER
MOISTURE WILL BE STRIPPED AWAY. THUS EXPECT ONLY LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS
WITH LITTLE OR NO ACCUMULATION AT LOWER ELEVATIONS AND PERHAPS A
LIGHT COATING ACROSS HIGHER TERRAIN.
ON SUNDAY SCATTERED LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE SOUTHEAST OF
THE LAKES...POSSIBLY MIXED WITH SOME RAIN NEAR THE LAKES. THIS
SHOULD SLOWLY DIMINISH AND END DURING THE AFTERNOON AS DRIER AIR AND
STRONG SUBSIDENCE BEGIN TO WIN OUT OVER LAKE EFFECT PROCESSES. MODEL
GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO TREND COLDER...WITH THE GFS AND ECMWF AROUND
-10C AT 850MB AND THE NAM EVEN A LITTLE COLDER. WITH THIS IN
MIND...HAVE LOWERED TEMPERATURES FURTHER FOR SUNDAY WITH HIGHS ONLY
IN THE MID TO UPPER 30S ACROSS LOWER ELEVATIONS AND NEAR FREEZING
ACROSS HIGHER TERRAIN...MAKING SUNDAY THE COLDEST DAY OF THE FALL SO
FAR.
SUNDAY NIGHT HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVERHEAD WITH LAKE EFFECT
CLOUDS BREAKING UP TO CLEARING SKIES. WITH A VERY CHILLY AIRMASS AND
CLEAR SKIES/LIGHT WINDS...TEMPERATURES WILL PLUMMET INTO THE MID 20S
IN MOST AREAS WITH UPPER TEENS IN THE COLDER VALLEYS OF THE SOUTHERN
TIER AND TUG HILL REGION.
&&
.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
THE COLD AIR WHICH ARRIVES ON SUNDAY WILL ONLY STICK AROUND FOR A
SHORT TIME AS THE PATTERN REMAINS AMPLIFIED AND PROGRESSIVE. ON
MONDAY HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN IN PLACE OVER NEW ENGLAND. THIS
WILL PROVIDE SOME SUNSHINE...ALTHOUGH INCREASING WARM ADVECTION
ALOFT MAY PRODUCE SOME THIN CLOUD COVER. TEMPERATURES WILL BEGIN TO
MODERATE A LITTLE...WITH HIGHS BACK INTO THE MID 40S AT LOWER
ELEVATIONS AND LOWER 40S ACROSS HIGHER TERRAIN.
BY TUESDAY HIGH PRESSURE WILL DRIFT OFF THE EAST COAST...ALLOWING
SOUTHERLY RETURN FLOW TO RAMP UP. AT THE SAME TIME...ANOTHER DEEP
TROUGH WILL DIG INTO THE NORTHERN ROCKIES AND HIGH PLAINS...FORCING
STRONG DOWNSTREAM HEIGHT RISES ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF THE
NATION.
THIS WILL ALLOW A SIGNIFICANT WARMING TREND TO SET IN FROM TUESDAY
THROUGH MIDWEEK WITH TEMPERATURES SOARING TO ABOVE AVERAGE ONCE
AGAIN. BY WEDNESDAY MANY LOWER ELEVATION SITES SHOULD BE BACK INTO
THE LOWER 60S FOR HIGHS. THE BUILDING RIDGE OVER THE EAST WILL HOLD
THE NEXT TROUGH AT BAY FOR A FEW DAYS. THE LATEST 12Z GFS...ECMWF
AND MOST OF THE GEFS ENSEMBLE MEMBERS NOW KEEP WEDNESDAY DRY WITH
THE NEXT CHANCE OF RAIN WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY AS THE NEXT
COLD FRONT AND MID LEVEL TROUGH CROSS THE REGION.
&&
.AVIATION /04Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
WIDESPREAD RAINS AHEAD OF A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL HELP TO RPODUCE
CIGS OF 2500-4000 FT ACROSS MUCH OF WESTERN AND NORTH CENTRAL NEW
YORK FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE OVERNIGHT. SITES ACROSS THE HIGHER
TERRAIN OF THE SRN TIER AND FINGER LAKES REGION WILL LIKELY
EXPERIENCE IFR CIGS.
THE MAJOR CONCERN FOR THE TAF PERIOD THOUGH WILL BE THE VERY STRONG
WINDS. A DEEPENING SURFACE LOW WILL LIFT FROM LAKE MICHIGAN TO
WESTERN QUEBEC BY MIDDAY FRIDAY. SOUTHERLY WINDS ON THE EAST SIDE OF
THIS STORM WILL STRENGTHEN ACROSS OUR REGION OVERNIGHT...WITH SOME
OF THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS EXPERIENCING WIND GUSTS TO NEARLY 50 KNOTS.
THIS WILL ALSO SET THE STAGE FOR SOME LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR...
ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE LOWER ELEVATIONS WHERE THE STRONGER WINDS
ALOFT WILL LIKELY NOT FULLY MIX TO THE SFC.
LATE TONIGHT AND FRIDAY...THE TRAILING COLD FRONT WILL PLOW ACROSS
OUR REGION. IN ITS WAKE...RAIN WILL QUICKLY TAPER OFF FROM WEST TO
EAST...WITH FLIGHT CONDITIONS EXHIBITING A SUBSEQUENT IMPROVEMENT
BACK TO VFR. AT THE SAME TIME...SURFACE WINDS WILL VEER TO
SOUTHWESTERLY WHILE ALSO SHARPLY INCREASING AS COLD ADVECTION HELPS
TO MORE EFFICIENTLY MIX DOWN SOME OF THE HIGHER WINDS FROM ALOFT.
THIS WILL RESULT IN THE ALLEVIATION OF ANY LLWS WHILE SURFACE WIND
GUSTS INCREASE TO THE 40-50 KNOT RANGE...WITH THE STRONGEST WINDS
EXPECTED TO BE DOWNWIND OF THE LAKES LATE TONIGHT AND FRIDAY
MORNING...BEFORE GRADUALLY DIMINISHING DURING THE AFTERNOON.
OUTLOOK...
FRIDAY NIGHT...CONTINUED DIMINISHING WINDS...OTHERWISE MAINLY VFR
WITH A CHANCE OF RAIN SHOWERS DOWNWIND OF THE LAKES.
SATURDAY...AREAS OF MVFR IN SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS RAIN SHOWERS.
SUNDAY...MVFR/VFR WITH SCATTERED SNOW/RAIN SHOWERS.
MONDAY AND TUESDAY...VFR.
&&
.MARINE...
INCREASING SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL BE FOUND ACROSS THE LOWER LAKES
OVERNIGHT AHEAD OF RAPIDLY DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE LIFTING FROM
WISCONSIN ACROSS THE UPPER GREAT LAKES. AS THIS INTENSIFYING SYSTEM
LIFTS NORTHEAST ACROSS EASTERN ONTARIO AND QUEBEC LATER TONIGHT AND
FRIDAY AND SWEEPS ITS TRAILING COLD FRONT ACROSS THE LOWER
LAKES...SOUTHWESTERLY GALES WILL DEVELOP WITH WAVES BUILDING AS HIGH
AS 12 FEET ON LAKE ERIE AND 15 FEET ON LAKE ONTARIO.
WINDS WILL THEN GRADUALLY SUBSIDE FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND MORE SO
FRIDAY NIGHT AS THE LOW LIFTS OUT ACROSS LABRADOR AND AWAY FROM OUR
REGION...THOUGH WAVES WILL LAG BEHIND BY SEVERAL HOURS WITH
RELATIVELY CALM CONDITIONS NOT RETURNING TO THE LAKES UNTIL SOMETIME
SATURDAY MORNING. A WEAKER AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL THEN DROP
ACROSS THE LOWER GREAT LAKES SATURDAY...WITH FRESHENING NORTHERLY
WINDS DEVELOPING BEHIND THE LOW AND LIKELY BRINGING ANOTHER ROUND OF
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES FOR THE LATTER HALF OF THE WEEKEND.
