AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
657 AM EST THU FEB 27 2020
SYNOPSIS
A DEEPENING LOW OVER EASTERN LAKE ONTARIO WILL LIFT INTO QUEBEC
TODAY. WIDESPREAD MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW WILL OCCUR THIS
MORNING BEFORE HEAVY LAKE EFFECT SNOW DEVELOPS THIS AFTERNOON
THROUGH FRIDAY DOWNWIND OF BOTH WIDE OPEN LAKES. MULTIPLE FEET
OF SNOW WILL OCCUR EAST OF BOTH LAKES ERIE AND ONTARIO. THE
SNOWFALL WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY WINDS OF UP TO 55 MPH THROUGH
TONIGHT...AND THIS WILL TRANSLATE INTO BLIZZARD CONDITIONS FOR
AREAS RECEIVING PARALYZING LAKE SNOWS. TRAVEL ACROSS THE REGION
WILL BECOME DIFFICULT...AND EVEN NEAR IMPOSSIBLE PENDING YOUR
PROXIMITY TO THE LAKE SNOWS.
NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/
...BLIZZARD CONDITIONS DEVELOPING THROUGH THE DAY EAST OF LAKE ERIE
AND LAKE ONTARIO...
NO CHANGES TO CURRENT HEADLINES AS OUTLINED IN THE AT THE END OF
THIS FORECAST DISCUSSION.
THOUGH SYNOPTIC SNOW OVER WESTERN NY HAS BEEN RELATIVELY LIGHT THUS
FAR WITH AN INCH OR TWO AROUND BUFFALO THROUGH 6 AM, LAKE ENHANCED
SNOW AND STRONG WINDS WITH BLOWING/DRIFTING SNOW CONTINUES TO
DEVELOP. BASED ON TRENDS IN STRONGER RADAR ECHOES, DOES APPEAR MAIN
FOCUS FROM THIS MAY PERSIST JUST SOUTH OF BUFFALO IN THE SOUTHTOWNS
AND INTO SOUTHERN ERIE COUNTY. OVERALL EXPECT ADDITIONAL SNOWFALL OF
2-3 INCHES AROUND METRO BUFFALO TODAY, HEAVIEST TOWARD SOUTHTOWNS.
NEGATIVE TILTED UPPER TROUGH OVER THE NORTHEAST CONUS IS SUPPORTING
DEEPENING SFC LOW CURRENTLY EAST END OF LAKE ONTARIO. 3HR PRESSURE
FALLS UP TO 6 MB SUPPORT THE LOW LIFTING INTO WESTERN QUEBEC BY THE
AFTERNOON. WIDESPREAD PRECIP HAS ALREADY CHANGED TO MODERATE SNOW
FROM THE WESTERN EDGE OF THE FINGER LAKES ACROSS THE REST OF WESTERN
NY. MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN CONTINUES TO SHIFT TO SNOW EAST OF LAKE
ONTARIO AND IS BEGINNING TO COME DOWN AT A HEAVY CLIP. WEST WINDS
OVER WESTERN NY ARE JUST STARTING TO BECOME MORE ELEVATED WITH GUSTS
AROUND 30 MPH ALONG THE LAKE ERIE SHORE. DEFORMATION MODERATE SNOW
OVER WESTERN NY WILL ONLY BECOME ENHANCED IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS AS
LAKE ENHANCEMENT OCCURS WITH DELTA T/S NEAR 20C AND LAKE INDUCED
INVERSIONS RISING TO AROUND 5KFT. AS MENTIONED EARLIER, SNOWFALL
RATES THUS FAR HAVE BEEN MORE IN THE 0.5 INCH/HOUR RANGE, BUT AS THE
LAKE ENHANCEMENT INCREASES, THESE SNOWFALL RATES WILL START REACHING
MORE AROUND 1 INCH PER HOUR OVER MUCH OF WESTERN NY INTO MID
MORNING. ALL THE WHILE, WEST WINDS WILL INCREASE AS DEEP 50+ KT LOW-
LEVEL JET FROM 1-7KFT EXPANDS ACROSS THE REGION WITH DEEPENING
CYCLONE. EXPECT WINDS/GUSTS TO REACH 25-30MPH/45 MPH BY MID MORNING
AND INCREASE FURTHER INTO THE AFTERNOON DUE TO DEEPENING COLD AIR
ADVECTION/MIXING AND TIGHTER PRESSURE GRADIENT.
EXEPCT BLIZZARD CONDITIONS TO BE IN FULL FORCE MID TO LATE MORNING
OFF LAKE ERIE, ESPECIALLY OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN JUST SOUTH AND
EAST OF METRO BUFFALO. TREND THAT SHOWED UP IN GUIDANCE LATER ON
WEDNESDAY CONTINUES THIS MORNING WITH WINDS MORE 250-260 DIRECTION
INSTEAD OF 270. THUS, HEAVY LAKE ENHANCED SNOW WILL MAKE INTO THE
SOUTHTOWNS OCCASIONALLY THROUGH THE DAY, EVEN AFTER WIDESPREAD SNOW
BACKS OFF MIDDAY. TOTAL SNOWFALL INTO EARLY AFTERNOON WILL BE MORE
WIDESPREAD AND WILL TOP OUT IN THE 3-6 INCH RANGE OVER MUCH OF
WESTERN NY. SNOW WILL BECOME MORE PURE LAKE EFFECT REGIME REST OF
THE AFTERNOON WITH SEVERAL MORE INCHES IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN FROM
THE CHAUTAUQUA RIDGE TO THE BOSTON HILLS OF SOUTHERN ERIE COUNTY AND
INTO THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF WYOMING AND CATTERAUGUS COUNTY. STRONGER
WESTERLY WINDS WILL ALSO PUSH SNOW SHOWERS, WITH LIGHTER ACCUMS,
FARTHER INLAND, REACHING MUCH OF ALLEGANY AND LIVINGSTON COUNTY.
TURNING ATTENTION TO LAKE ONTARIO, SNOW WILL CONTINUE TO BECOME
HEAVIER AS THE SFC LOW CONTINUES TO DEEPEN JUST TO THE NORTH OF THE
EASTERN LAKE ONTARIO REGION. APPEARS LARGER SCALE LIFT/SYNOPTIC
FORCING REMAINS IN PLACE THROUGH AT LEAST EARLY AFTERNOON WITH
DEEPER MOISTURE PERSISTING INTO LATE AFTERNOON. FROM THE SYNOPTIC
SNOW ALONE, MANY AREAS WILL SEE OVER 6 INCHES OF SNOW TODAY. LAKE
ENHANCEMENT WILL BE VERY STRONG ON THE TUG HILL REGION AS THE DAY
PROGRESSES WITH THE 250 WIND DIRECTION OFF LAKE ONTARIO FAVORING
STRONG FOCUSED CONVERGENCE AND LIFT INTO THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF THE
TUG HILL. MODERATE SNOW RATES THERE AND JUST TO THE NORTH LATE THIS
MORNING WILL BECOME VERY HEAVY THIS AFTERNOON WITH 2-3 INCH PER HOUR
RATES AND TOTAL DAYTIME SNOW OVER A FOOT. AS OCCURS ON LAKE ERIE
THIS MORNING, WE WILL ALSO SEE VERY STRONG WINDS AND ASSOCIATED
BLIZZARD CONDITIONS TAKE AIM ON THE EASTERN LAKE ONTARIO REGION. LOW-
LEVEL JET IS SLIGHTLY STRONGER AND EXPECT MANY AREAS EAST OF LAKE
ONTARIO TO SEE WIND GUSTS REACHING TO 45-55 MPH BY THIS AFTERNOON,
WITH SOME AREAS EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO POSSIBLY SEEING GUSTS REACH AS
HIGH AS 60 MPH, PARTICULARLY ALONG AND IMMEDIATELY DOWNWIND OF THE
LAKESHORE IN OSWEGO AND JEFFERSON COUNTIES.
ONCE THE MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW DEVELPS THIS AFTERNOON OFF BOTH
LAKES, THERE IS LITTLE IN THE GUIDANCE TO SUGGEST INTENSITY WILL
DIMINISH AT ALL TONIGHT. IN FACT, AS COLDER AIR DEEPENS, INTENSITY
AND CERTAINLY THE FLUFFINESS OF THE SNOW WILL INCREASE. AS THAT
OCCURS, THE VERY STRONG WINDS WITH GUSTS OVER 50 MPH CONTINUTING IN
THE LAKE EFFECT AREAS WILL JUST MORE EFFICIENTLY BLOW AND DRIFT THE
SNOW IN THE AIR AND THE LOOSE SNOW ON THE GROUND. ADDITIONAL SNOW
ACCUMS FOR TONIGHT WILL REACH UP TOWARD A FOOT AND A HALF IN THE TUG
HILL REGION, TOWARD 6 INCHES IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN EAST OF LAKE
ERIE AND WELL UNDER 2 INCHES ELSEWHERE.
HOWEVER, IT CANNOT BE STRESSED ENOUGH THAT THE WINDS FROM DAYBREAK
THIS MORNING THROUGH THIS EVENING WILL BE THE MAIN SOURCE OF
PROBLEMS OUTSIDE OF THE LAKE EFFECT SNOW AREAS, AND A MAJOR
CONTRIBUTOR TO THE HAZARD WITHIN THE LAKE BANDS. EVEN WHERE SNOW
AMOUNTS THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING ARE LOWER IN COMPARISON TO
THE LAKE EFFECT AREAS, THE STRONG WINDS, BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW
WILL RESULT IN HAZARDOUS WEATHER AND POOR TRAVEL CONDITIONS.
SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/
...SIGNIFICANT LAKE EFFECT SNOW ALONG WITH HIGH WINDS AND BLIZZARD
CONDITIONS ANTICIPATED FOR PARTS OF THE REGION...
VERTICALLY STACKED LOW PRESSURE OVER SOUTHERN QUEBEC TONIGHT WILL
STALL AND THEN VERY SLOWLY DRIFT EAST LATE FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY,
REACHING THE CANADIAN MARITIMES BY SUNDAY. THIS WILL MAINTAIN A
CYCLONIC WESTERLY FLOW OF COLD AIR OVER THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES FOR
AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME, SETTING THE STAGE FOR A LONG LASTING
LAKE EFFECT/LAKE ENHANCED SNOW EVENT EAST OF THE LAKES.
OFF LAKE ERIE...
LAKE ENHANCED SNOW THAT BEGAN THIS MORNING WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MOST
OF THIS PERIOD. OROGRAPHIC LIFT WILL ALSO ENHANCE THE SNOW TOTALS
INLAND FROM THE LAKE. A MOSTLY WEST WIND WILL KEEP THE BAND OF LAKE
SNOW SOUTH OF THE BUFFALO METRO AREA, WITH A SLIGHT SHIFT TO JUST
SOUTH OF DUE WEST POSSIBLY BRINGING THE BAND TO PORTIONS OF THE
SOUTHTOWNS AND THE SOUTHERN PART OF GENESEE COUNTY EARLY ON FRIDAY.
DEEPER SYNOPTIC MOISTURE THAT IS EXPECTED TO LIFT JUST NORTHEAST OF
LAKE ERIE FOR TONIGHT SHOULD RETURN FOR FRIDAY. THIS WILL OCCUR
AHEAD OF AND ALONG THE AXIS OF THE TROUGH OVER THE AREA AS IT
APPROACHES LATER FRIDAY, WHICH WILL ALSO SUPPLY ADDITIONAL
INSTABILITY. AS THIS OCCURS THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT, INCREASED SNOWFALL
RATES ARE EXPECTED OFF OF LAKE ERIE.
AS THE TROUGH AXIS APPROACHES THROUGH THE DAY ON FRIDAY, EQUILIBRIUM
HEIGHTS OFF OF LAKE ERIE WILL INCREASE, WITH JHW AND AREAS CLOSER TO
THE LAKE NEARING 7.5K FT FOR EQUILIBRIUM HEIGHTS, AND LAKE INDUCED
EQUILIBRIUM HEIGHTS APPROACHING 10K FT.
THE LAKE ENHANCED SNOW WILL DECREASE QUICKLY IN AREAL COVERAGE AND
INTENSITY THROUGH THE DAY SATURDAY AS DEEPER MOISTURE PULLS AWAY,
AND INVERSION HEIGHTS BEGIN TO LOWER.
AS FAR AS SNOWFALL AMOUNTS GO, STORM TOTALS ARE LIKELY TO REACH 1-2
FEET ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN INLAND FROM LAKE ERIE ALONG THE
CHAUTAUQUA RIDGE, BOSTON HILLS, WESTERN WYOMING COUNTY, AND EXTENDING
INTO FAR NORTHWEST ALLEGANY COUNTY. SOME LOCALIZED AMOUNTS OF
OVER 2 FEET ARE POSSIBLE. SNOWFALL RATES MAY REACH 1 TO 2 INCHES PER
HOUR AT TIMES. WINDS WILL REMAIN GUSTY, WITH GUSTS TO 35 MPH
EXPECTED THROUGH MOST OF THE DAY ON FRIDAY. THE COMBINATION OF THE
HEAVY SNOWFALL AND GUSTY WINDS WILL PRODUCE DANGEROUS TRAVEL
CONDITIONS THROUGH FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
OFF LAKE ONTARIO...
ON FRIDAY, THE LAKE BAND WILL CONTINUE TO IMPACT THE TUG HILL AND
SURROUNDING AREAS WITH HEAVY SNOWFALL CONTINUING. THE NORTHERN
PORTION OF THE TUG HILL ON FRIDAY MORNING LOOKS LIKELY AS EARLIER
MODEL GUIDANCE TRENDED A BIT NORTH WITH THE BAND AND THAT SCENARIO
STILL SEEMS TO BE FAVORED. AS THE DAY PROGRESSES, WINDS WILL VEER
FROM JUST SOUTH OF WEST TO WEST AND THEN JUST NORTH OF WEST. AS THE
WINDS VEER THROUGH THE DAY, THE BAND WILL SINK SOUTH AND CENTER OVER
THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE TUG HILL. AS THE BAND MOVES SOUTH IT IS
EXPECTED TO BROADEN SOME, WITH SOME LOWERING OF SNOWFALL RATES, BUT
INCREASED COVERAGE AREA FOR THE BAND ITSELF.
BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO SLOWLY VEER MORE NORTHWEST
FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY, SPREADING LAKE ENHANCED SNOW TO MUCH OF
THE AREA SOUTHEAST OF THE LAKE. SNOWFALL RATES WILL CONTINUE TO
DECREASE DURING THIS TIME FRAME, BUT THE FOOTPRINT OF THE SNOW WILL
SPREAD OUT OVER A MUCH WIDER AREA. THE SNOW WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
SATURDAY MORNING BEFORE DECREASING IN AREAL COVERAGE AND INTENSITY
SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS THE DEEPER MOISTURE PULLS AWAY.
AS FAR AS AMOUNTS GO, STORM TOTALS ARE LIKELY TO REACH 2-3 FEET ON
THE TUG HILL WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS NEAR 4 FEET POSSIBLE IF THE
BAND OF HEAVIEST SNOW STALLS IN ONE LOCATION LONG ENOUGH. 6-10
INCHES OF SNOW IS POSSIBLE FOR AREAS SOUTHEAST OF THE LAKE FROM
WAYNE TO WESTERN OSWEGO COUNTY, WITH 3-6 INCHES FOR MONROE AND
ORLEANS COUNTIES INCLUDING THE ROCHESTER AREA. MUCH OF THIS WILL
FALL LATE FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY AS BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW VEERS MORE
NORTHWESTERLY. SNOWFALL RATES WILL NOT BE AS HIGH IN THIS PHASE OF
THE EVENT.
BLIZZARD CONDITIONS ARE STILL EXPECTED THROUGH FRIDAY AFTERNOON AS
WINDS FREQUENTLY GUST TO 35 MPH OR GREATER. THE COMBINATION OF
SNOWFALL AND GUSTY WINDS WILL CREATE HAZARDOUS TRAVEL CONDITIONS
WITH SNOW COVERED ROADS, GREATLY REDUCED VISIBILITY AND WINDCHILLS
IN THE LOW SINGLE DIGITS TO NEAR ZERO AT TIMES.
LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/
THE VERTICALLY STACKED LOW WILL CONTINUE TO SLOWLY FILL AND
MOVE EAST INTO THE CANADIAN MARITIMES SATURDAY NIGHT. SYNOPTIC
SCALE MOISTURE AND FORCING WILL DIMINISH FROM WEST TO EAST
OVERNIGHT, WITH INVERSION HEIGHTS LOWERING STEADILY. LAKE EFFECT
SNOW SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE SOUTHEAST OF THE LAKES WITH BOUNDARY
LAYER FLOW BECOMING MORE NORTHWEST WITH TIME. THE BEST COVERAGE
OF SNOW WILL BE IN THE EVENING, WITH LESSENING COVERAGE AND
INTENSITY THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT. ANY REMAINING LAKE EFFECT SNOW
SHOWERS SOUTHEAST OF THE LAKES SUNDAY MORNING WILL END AS
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES,
FURTHER LOWERING INVERSION HEIGHTS AND DRYING THE COLUMN.
TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN COLD THROUGH SUNDAY UNDER THE INFLUENCE
OF THE DEPARTING DEEP TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED COLD AIR ALOFT.
EARLY NEXT WEEK THE TROUGH WILL ADVANCE STEADILY INTO THE NORTH
ATLANTIC. RISING HEIGHTS AND A WESTERLY FLOW OF PACIFIC ORIGIN AIR
WILL BUILD EAST ACROSS THE NATION MONDAY AND TUESDAY. THIS WILL
ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO TREND QUICKLY ABOVE NORMAL FOLLOWING OUR 3-4
DAY PERIOD OF ACTIVE WINTER WEATHER AND COLD. THE NEXT SYSTEM MAY
BEGIN TO MOVE INTO THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES BY MONDAY. THERE MAY BE
SOME SNOW BRIEFLY ON THE LEADING EDGE, BUT STRONG WARM ADVECTION
WILL QUICKLY CHANGE THIS TO RAIN. RAIN CHANCES WILL CONTINUE TUESDAY
THROUGH WEDNESDAY AS SEVERAL WAVES OF LOW PRESSURE MOVE FROM THE
OHIO VALLEY TO NEW ENGLAND. TEMPERATURES WILL BE SIGNIFICANTLY
WARMER TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY, POSSIBLY IN THE 50S. SNOWMELT COMBINED
WITH RAIN MAY BRING AN ELEVATED FLOOD RISK DURING THAT TIME.
AVIATION /12Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/
IFR TO LIFR CONDITIONS ARE ALREADY IN PLACE ACROSS THE WESTERN
COUNTIES...AS CIGS AS LOW AS 1000 FT ARE NOW BEING ACCOMPANIED
BY STEADY SNOW THAT IS SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCING VSBYS. EAST OF LAKE
ONTARIO...CONDITIONS ARE DETERIORATING TO IFR AS WET SNOW INCREASES.
FAIRLY WIDESPREAD SNOW WILL KEEP IFR TO LIFR CONDITIONS IN PLACE
DURING THE MORNING. AS COLDER AIR SWEEPS INTO THE REGION ON THE
BACKSIDE OF A DEEPENING STORM OVER THE OTTAWA VALLEY...THE
WIDESPREAD SNOW WILL GIVE WAY TO INCREASINGLY FOCUSED LAKE EFFECT
SNOW EAST OF BOTH LAKES. IN THESE AREAS...THE MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW
WILL MAINTAIN LIFR TO VLIFR CONDITIONS FOR SITES SUCH AS KJHW AND
KART THROUGH TONIGHT. A LARGE CONTRIBUTOR TO THE DANGEROUSLY LOW
VISIBILITIES WILL BE WINDS THAT WILL INTENSIFY TO 40-50 KTS. THE
BLOWING SNOW WILL BE A CONCERN FOR ALL OF THE TAF SITES AFTER ABOUT
15Z.
THE HIGH WINDS AND SNOWFALL WILL LIKELY HAVE A VERY DETRIMENTAL
IMPACT TO GROUND OPERATIONS AT MOST OF THE TAF SITES...NOT TO
MENTION IMPACTS TO AIR TRAFFIC.
OUTLOOK...
FRIDAY...VLIFR/LIFR IN HEAVY LAKE EFFECT SNOW EAST OF THE LAKES...
WITH A MIX OF IFR TO LOW VFR AND SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SNOW SHOWERS
ELSEWHERE.
SATURDAY...IFR/MVFR WITH AREAS OF LAKE EFFECT SNOW SOUTHEAST OF THE
LAKES...AND NUMEROUS SNOW SHOWERS ELSEWHERE.
SUNDAY...IMPROVEMENT TO VFR WITH SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS SOUTHEAST OF
THE LAKES ENDING.
MONDAY...VFR/MVFR WITH A CHANCE OF RAIN SHOWERS.
MARINE
DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE ADVANCING NORTHWARD FROM EASTERN LAKE ONTARIO
TO THE OTTAWA VALLEY WILL SUPPORT GALES ON LAKE ERIE INTO TONIGHT
WITH STORMS ON LAKE ONTARIO AS FREQUENT GUSTS REACH 50+ KNOTS MUCH
OF TODAY INTO THIS EVENING. ALL MARINE HEADLINES ARE OUTLINED BELOW.
WINDS WILL ONLY SLOWLY DIMINISH ON FRIDAY, BUT REMAIN AT SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY LEVELS INTO FRIDAY NIGHT.
TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING
A PERIOD OF STRONG WEST WINDS IN WAKE OF STRONG LOW PRESSURE WILL
BRING A ROUND OF LAKESHORE FLOODING TO EASTERN LAKE ONTARIO INTO
FRIDAY MORNING...AND TO EASTERN LAKE ERIE THROUGH THE FIRST HALF
OF TONIGHT.
FOR LAKE ERIE, WHILE THE LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL BE A BIT MORE
WESTERLY THAN IDEAL FOR A MAXIMUM SEICHE...ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS
THIS WINTER LAKE LEVELS HAVE PREVIOUSLY MANAGED TO REACH WARNING
CRITERIA DURING LESSER WIND EVENTS THAN THIS UPCOMING ONE...WITH
THE HIGHER LAKE LEVELS UNDOUBTABLY HAVING AN INFLUENCE. GIVEN
THAT THE FLOW WILL BE A BIT STRONGER WITH THIS EVENT...WE CAN
STILL FORESEE SOME FLOODING ISSUES BECOMING LIKELY ALONG AT
LEAST PORTIONS OF THE SHORELINE...PARTICULARLY IN BAYS AND
INLETS AND OTHER LOW LYING SHORELINE AREAS. FOR THIS REASON... THE
LAKESHORE FLOOD WARNING CONTINUES FOR ERIE AND CHAUTAUQUA COUNTIES.
FOR LAKE ONTARIO, THE COMBINATION OF HIGH LAKE LEVELS, STRONG
ONSHORE WESTERLY WINDS, AND HIGH WAVES WILL PRODUCE SOME
LAKESHORE FLOODING IN BAYS AND INLETS AT THE EAST END OF THE
LAKE ALONG WITH SOME MINOR SHORE EROSION.
