AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
116 AM EST MON JAN 6 2014
.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE JUST NORTH OF LAKES ERIE AND
ONTARIO LATE TONIGHT AND FRIDAY MORNING AND PRODUCE RAIN SHOWERS AND
A BRIEF PERIOD OF STRONG WINDS. TEMPERATURES WILL FALL SHARPLY ON
MONDAY BEHIND A POWERFUL COLD FRONT. THIS WILL SET THE STAGE FOR
DANGEROUSLY COLD WIND CHILLS FOR THE ENTIRE REGION AND VERY HEAVY
LAKE EFFECT SNOW EAST AND NORTHEAST OF THE LAKES FROM MONDAY
AFTERNOON THROUGH MIDWEEK. A WEAK AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL BRING A
LIGHT GENERAL SNOW TO THE REGION THURSDAY BEFORE A WARMING TREND
ARRIVES AT THE END OF THE WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
AS THE SURFACE LOW LIFTS NORTH OF LAKE ONTARIO LATER TONIGHT INTO
MONDAY MORNING...RAIN WILL QUICKLY END FROM WEST TO EAST LATE WITH
THE PASSAGE OF A POWERFUL COLD FRONT. IT NOW APPEARS THE VAST
MAJORITY OF THE PRECIP WILL FALL AS RAIN...WITH JUST A FEW WET
SNOWFLAKES POSSIBLE AT THE TAIL END IF THE PRECIP HOLDS ON LONG
ENOUGH.
WINDS WILL BECOME A SIGNIFICANT CONCERN FOR A SHORT PERIOD LATE
TONIGHT AND EARLY MONDAY. A RAPIDLY DEEPENING AREA OF LOW PRESSURE
WILL PASS JUST NORTH AND WEST OF THE LOWER LAKES...WITH A VERY
STRONG ISALLOBARIC FALL/RISE COUPLET PASSING DIRECTLY OVER THE LOWER
LAKES. THE STRONG PRESSURE RISES AND STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION
BEHIND THE COLD FRONT WILL PRODUCE DEEP MIXING AND ALLOW STRONGER
WINDS FROM ALOFT TO MIX DOWN TO THE SURFACE. EXPECT THE STRONGEST
WINDS TO BE IN THE TYPICAL AREAS NORTHEAST OF THE LAKES FROM THE
LAKE ERIE SHORE ACROSS THE NIAGARA FRONTIER TO ROCHESTER...AND ALSO
NORTHEAST OF LAKE ONTARIO FROM JEFFERSON TO NORTHERN LEWIS COUNTIES.
FOR THE REST OF THE AREA EXPECT A BRIEF PERIOD OF ADVISORY TO LOW
END WARNING GUSTS FARTHER INLAND FROM THE LAKES...FROM THE INTERIOR
SOUTHERN TIER ACROSS THE FINGER LAKES TO CENTRAL NY.
THERE IS ALSO A CHANCE OF STRONG DOWNSLOPE WINDS IN THE BLACK RIVER
VALLEY LATER TONIGHT AS A 70+ KNOT LOW LEVEL JET CROSSES THE NORTH
COUNTRY. THE INVERSION MAY END UP BEING TOO STRONG TO ALLOW THIS TO
MIX TO THE SURFACE...BUT IF IT DOES GUSTS OF 50-60 MPH ARE POSSIBLE
LOCALLY IN THE BLACK RIVER VALLEY TO NEAR FORT DRUM.
THE STRONGEST OF THE WINDS WILL NOT LAST LONG...ONLY FOR 2-3 HOURS
IMMEDIATELY BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. AFTER THAT...IT WILL REMAIN WINDY
THE REST OF MONDAY BUT SPEEDS SHOULD BE JUST BELOW ADVISORY
CRITERIA.
THE COLD AIR WILL RAPIDLY DEEPEN...AND BECOME COLD ENOUGH TO SUPPORT
LAKE EFFECT SNOW BY MIDDAY. BANDS WILL INITIALLY BE WEAK AND
DISORGANIZED DUE TO SOME SHEAR AND STRONG SUBSIDENCE FROM THE STRONG
COLD AIR ADVECTION. BY LATER AFTERNOON THEY WILL BECOME BETTER
ORGANIZED. OFF LAKE ERIE...EXPECT MOST OF THE LAKE SNOW TO FALL FROM
SOUTHERN ERIE AND WYOMING COUNTIES TO JUST SOUTH OF BUFFALO AND
BATAVIA THROUGH LATE AFTERNOON. OFF LAKE ONTARIO...EXPECT THE BAND
TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE TUG HILL PLATEAU. AMOUNTS THROUGH EARLY
EVENING WILL BE MANAGEABLE...WITH 3-5 INCHES IN PERSISTENT BANDS.
GUSTY WINDS WILL PRODUCE BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW IN THE AFTERNOON.
TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY SURGE INTO THE LOWER TO MID 40S OVERNIGHT
WITHIN THE WARM SECTOR OF THE DEVELOPING LOW. TEMPERATURES WILL FREE
FALL ON MONDAY BEHIND THE FRONT...THROUGH THE 20S...THROUGH THE
TEENS...AND INTO THE SINGLE NUMBERS BY MID OR LATE EVENING MONDAY.
&&
.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
A SIGNIFICANT LAKE EFFECT SNOW EVENT ALONG WITH EXTREME WIND CHILL
TEMPERATURES IS EXPECTED MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY AND TUESDAY
NIGHT BEFORE FINALLY WINDING DOWN THROUGH THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY.
SEVERAL FEET OF SNOW ARE FORECAST TO ACCUMULATE EAST OF BOTH LAKES
ERIE AND ONTARIO AS A WEST-SOUTHWEST FLOW OF VERY COLD AIR SHIFTS
OVER THE LAKES.
LAKE EFFECT DETAILS...
LAKE EFFECT SNOW IS EXPECTED TO RAMP UP TO EXTREME LEVELS BEGINNING
MONDAY NIGHT AS 850MB TEMPERATURES CROSSING THE LAKES CRASH TO
AROUND -25C PRODUCING DOUBLE THE TYPICAL 13 DEGREE LAKE TO 850MB
DELTA-T THRESHOLD NEEDED FOR ORGANIZED LAKE EFFECT AND RAISING LAKE
INDUCED EQUILIBRIUM LEVELS OVER 10KFT. ICE COVER IS NOT EXPECTED TO
INHIBIT THE HEAT FLUX FROM THE LAKES AS BOTH LAKES REMAIN OPEN. LAKE
ERIE IS SHOWING 56 PERCENT ICE COVER AS OF 18Z SUNDAY BUT A LARGE
SECTION OF THE SOUTH CENTRAL LAKE REMAINS ICE FREE. LAKE ONTARIO IS
ONLY 10 PERCENT COVERED WITH ICE CONFINED TO THE NORTHERN LAKE
SHORE. FOR LAKE ERIE...A STRONG 40+ KNOT 260 DEGREE 925MB FLOW WILL
ORIENT THE LAKE ERIE BAND ACROSS NORTHERN CHAUTAUQUA AND SOUTHERN
ERIE COUNTIES INLAND ACROSS WYOMING AND LIVINGSTON COUNTIES WITH A
SUBTLE BACKING OF THE WINDS LIFTING THE BAND NORTH ACROSS SOUTH
METRO BUFFALO THEN NORTHEAST ACROSS GENESEE AND INTO WESTERN MONROE
COUNTIES. FOR LAKE ONTARIO...THE BAND IS EXPECTED TO LARGELY REMAIN
ORIENTED DIRECTLY DOWN THE LONG AXIS OF THE LAKE ACROSS NORTHERN
OSWEGO...SOUTHERN JEFFERSON AND LEWIS COUNTIES FOR A PERIOD OF
NEARLY 36 HOURS. BOTH BANDS WILL LIKELY EXHIBIT SOME SLIGHT SHIFTING
AS SUBTLE DISTURBANCES IN THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW NUDGE THE SWAY THE
STEERING WINDS A BIT NORTH AND SOUTH.
NAM12 BUFKIT PROFILES OVER THE LAKES SHOW AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF
STRONG OMEGA FORECAST WITHIN THE BANDS LASTING 24 TO 36 HOURS. SNOW
ACCUMULATION FORECASTS WERE MORE SUBJECTIVE BASED ON EXPERIENCE THAN
UPON ANY PARTICULAR MODEL OR BLEND OF MODELS. OVERALL WE EXPECT 2 TO
3 INCH PER HOUR SNOWFALL RATES OFF THE LAKE ONTARIO BAND AND 1 TO 2
INCH PER HOUR RATES OFF THE LAKE ERIE BAND THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT AND
MUCH OF TUESDAY. THE DURATION OF THESE EXTREME SNOW RATES WILL YIELD
THE EXPECTED SEVERAL FEET OF SNOW EAST OF BOTH LAKES. A MAX OF
AROUND 36 INCHES WOULD BE POSSIBLE JUST SOUTH OF BUFFALO FROM THE
LAKE ERIE SNOW BAND THROUGH THE EVENT AND POSSIBLY OVER 5 OR 6 FEET
ACROSS THE TUG HILL FROM THE LAKE ONTARIO BAND. THE ADDITIONAL UPLIFT
FROM THE TUG HILL AND MORE STEADY ORIENTATION OF THE LAKE ONTARIO
BAND IS REASONING FOR SUCH HIGH SNOW TOTALS EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO.
THE LAKE ERIE BAND LOOKS TO SHIFT A BIT MORE SO SNOW TOTALS WHERE
CUT SOME DUE TO THIS FACTOR. THERE WILL BE VERY TIGHT SNOWFALL
GRADIENTS ON BOTH BAND FROM THE CENTER TO THE OUTER EDGES WHICH IS
TYPICAL FOR LAKE EFFECT SNOW BUT MAY BE ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE ACROSS
METRO BUFFALO. WHILE
LAKE EFFECT SNOW WARNINGS HAVE BEEN ISSUED TO COVER FOR THIS
SIGNIFICANT LAKE SNOW EVENT. THE WEST-SOUTHWEST ORIENTATION OF THE
LAKE BAND WILL KEEP ALLEGANY COUNTY CLEAR OF ANY SIGNIFICANT
SNOWFALL SO THE LAKE EFFECT SNOW WATCH THERE HAS BEEN CANCELLED.
STRONGER STEERING LEVEL WINDS WILL ALLOW THE LAKE BANDS TO EXTEND
INLAND TO MONROE AND LIVINGSTON COUNTIES BUT THESE REGIONS WILL BE ON
THE EASTERN MOST EDGES OF THE BAND WHERE MUCH LOWER SNOWFALL IS
EXPECTED THUS LAKE EFFECT SNOW ADVISORIES ARE IN EFFECT FOR THESE
REGIONS.
THROUGH WEDNESDAY THE LAKE EFFECT ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN A
DOWNWARD TREND. AN AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL SHIFT FROM THE SOUTH
CENTRAL STATES TO THE SOUTHEAST REGION HELPING TO BACK WINDS TO THE
SOUTH AND ADVECTING SLIGHTLY WARMER AIR ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA.
THIS WARMER AIR WILL LOWER LAKE INDUCED EQUILIBRIUM LEVELS TO AROUND
5KFT WEDNESDAY ESSENTIALLY SQUASHING THE LAKE BANDS. THE LAKE ERIE
BAND WILL QUICKLY TAPER OFF WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON WITH THE LAKE
ONTARIO BAND TAPERING OFF WEDNESDAY EVENING.
WIND CHILL DETAILS...
WIND CHILL RELATED WARNINGS AND ADVISORIES HAVE BEEN ISSUED TO
HIGHLIGHT THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE DANGEROUSLY COLD AIR HEADED FOR
OUR FORECAST AREA. THIS ARCTIC AIRMASS WHICH WAS CENTERED OVER THE
NORTHERN PLAINS SUNDAY AFTERNOON WILL DIVE SOUTH ACROSS THE MIDWEST
STATES MONDAY AND SHIFTING ACROSS NEW YORK AND PENNSYLVANIA MONDAY
NIGHT AND TUESDAY. THE CORE OF THIS AIRMASS WHICH AT -30C WILL CROSS
JUST SOUTH OF NEW YORK BEFORE MODIFYING ON TUESDAY AS IT INTERACTS
WITH THE LOWER GREAT LAKES. SURFACE TEMPERATURES WILL FALL BELOW
ZERO MONDAY NIGHT WITH THE COLDEST TEMPS INTO THE NEGATIVE DOUBLE
DIGITS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN TIER. THIS COLD AIR COMBINED WITH 20 TO
30 MPH WINDS AND HIGHER GUST WILL YIELD EXTREME WIND CHILL
TEMPERATURES FOR WESTERN AND CENTRAL NEW YORK. WIND CHILLS OF 20 TO
30 BELOW ZERO WILL BE OBSERVED ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF WESTERN
NEW YORK INTO NORTH CENTRAL NEW YORK AND 30 TO 40 BELOW ZERO ACROSS
THE SOUTHERN TIER. THESE EXTREME TEMPERATURES WILL LINGER THROUGH
TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT BEFORE SLOWLY MODIFYING ON WEDNESDAY. HIGH
TEMPERATURES ON TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT WILL STRUGGLE TO BREAK
ABOVE ZERO.
&&
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
THE WEATHER LOOKS QUITE A BIT MORE TONED DOWN FOR THE END OF NEXT WEEK
INTO NEXT WEEKEND COMPARED TO THE EXTREME WEATHER WE WILL BE
EXPERIENCING EARLIER IN THE WEEK. THERE ALSO LOOKS TO BE YET
ANOTHER WARM UP WITH TEMPS WARMING TO AROUND 40 DEGREES NEXT
WEEKEND. MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW TWO SYNOPTIC SYSTEMS WHICH MAY
TRACK NEAR OUR FORECAST AREA BUT THERE REMAINS SOME TIMING
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE ECMWF AND GFS.
THE FIRST SYSTEM LOOKS TO BE IN THE LATE THURSDAY/EARLY FRIDAY
TIMEFRAME TRACKING FROM THE SOUTH ASSOCIATED WITH A WEAK SHORTWAVE
SHIFTING THROUGH THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW. TEMPERATURES DURING THIS
PERIOD APPEAR TO BE COLD ENOUGH FOR JUST SOME LIGHT SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS. THE SECOND SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO BE IN THE
SATURDAY/SATURDAY NIGHT TIMEFRAME ASSOCIATED WITH A MORE SIGNIFICANT
PAIR OF TROUGHS CROSSING THE GREAT LAKES AND CENTRAL STATES. THE
FULL LATITUDE NATURE OF THE PAIR OF TROUGHS WILL ALLOW SOUTHERLY
WINDS OUT AHEAD OF THE FEATURE TO ADVECT PLENTY OF WARM AIR NORTH
ACROSS NEW YORK. SURFACE TEMPERATURES RISING THROUGH THE 30S TO NEAR
40 SHOULD ALLOW THE PREDOMINANT P-TYPE TO BE PLAIN RAIN.
&&
.AVIATION /06Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
LOW PRESSURE CENTERED OVER NORTHEAST OHIO WILL CROSS LAKE ERIE
AROUND MIDNIGHT...THEN TRACK JUST NORTH OF LAKE ONTARIO DURING THE
SECOND HALF OF THE NIGHT. RAIN SHOWERS DEVELOPING AHEAD OF THE LOW
WILL BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD OVERNIGHT WITH AREAS OF MVFR
DEVELOPING...AND POSSIBLY IFR ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF THE
SOUTHERN TIER. DOWNSLOPE SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL INITIALLY KEEP THE
LOWER ELEVATION TAF SITES MAINLY VFR...BUT BY LATE TONIGHT WINDS
WILL BECOME SOUTHWEST WITH MVFR BECOMING MORE WIDESPREAD AT LOWER
ELEVATIONS.
THE RAIN WILL QUICKLY END WITH THE PASSAGE OF A STRONG COLD FRONT
LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY MONDAY. THIS WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY A 2-3
HOUR PERIOD OF VERY STRONG WIND GUSTS...WITH THE STRONGEST WINDS
NORTHEAST OF LAKES ERIE AND ONTARIO.
ON MONDAY WINDS WILL DIMINISH SOME BY LATE MORNING...BUT REMAIN
GUSTY. LAKE EFFECT SNOW WILL DEVELOP EAST AND NORTHEAST OF THE LAKES
WITH LOCAL IFR. OUTSIDE OF LAKE EFFECT...EXPECT CONDITIONS TO
IMPROVE TO VFR.
OUTLOOK...
TUESDAY...VFR WITH CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS. IFR IN LAKE EFFECT
SNOW EAST OF THE LAKES. GUSTY WINDS.
WEDNESDAY...MAINLY VFR BUT IFR TO MVFR IN LAKE SNOWS EAST OF BOTH
LAKES.
THURSDAY...SNOW LIKELY WITH IFR.
FRIDAY...MAINLY VFR.
&&
.MARINE...
A RAPIDLY DEEPENING AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL PASS JUST NORTH AND
WEST OF THE LOWER LAKES LATE TONIGHT...WITH A TRAILING POWERFUL COLD
FRONT CROSSING THE REGION. BEHIND THIS FRONT WINDS WILL BECOME
SOUTHWEST AND RAPIDLY INCREASE TO GALE FORCE ON BOTH LAKES. AN
EXTENDED PERIOD OF GALE FORCE WINDS WILL THEN CONTINUE THROUGH
MONDAY INTO AT LEAST TUESDAY NIGHT WITH STRONG WEST TO SOUTHWEST
WINDS.
VERY COLD AIR WILL ALSO BUILD INTO THE LOWER LAKES. THE COLD
TEMPERATURES COMBINED WITH GALE FORCE WINDS AND WAVE ACTION WILL SET
THE STAGE FOR HEAVY FREEZING SPRAY.
CONDITIONS WILL FINALLY IMPROVE ON WEDNESDAY AS THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT RELAXES ACROSS THE LOWER LAKES.
