vortmax Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 KBUF AFD about the storm - KROC could be jackpot area - Sat 2-4, Sat ngt - 8-16, Sun 3-6+ Light snow will spread into Western NY Saturday morning as warm air advection and isentropic lift move into the region. Light easterly winds and temperatures in the mid to upper teens to low 20`s will result in a light snowfall that accumulates slowly throughout the morning. Light snow will then spread into Saturday afternoon while snow intensifies slowly across Western NY. Saturday will be uneventful with minor accumulations of 2-4 inches across WNY to 1-3 inches east of Lake Ontario. Although there continues to be spread in the speed of phasing and the track, the spread is getting smaller. A beautiful coupled upper- level jet will promote rapid deepening as low pressure moves into the northern Mid-Atlantic region Saturday night. At this time, mid- level frontogenesis will have moved into western and north-central NY, moving east of the region Sunday. This will promote deep lift in the dendritic growth zone for much of the region. Northeast winds will also increase overnight and will produce lake enhancement along the southern shore of Lake Ontario during this time. The open waters of Lake Ontario are still in the upper 30`s to low 40`s. This is more than enough to produce increased instability and additional snow totals. Winds will be increasing to 20 to 25 mph with gusts near 40 mph along the southern shore of Lake Ontario with gusts near 35 mph across the Niagara Frontier and Lake Erie shoreline. Winds will be lower across interior portions of NYS. Snow rates will likely be 1 in/hr with the potential for higher rates where enhancement is likely. Snowfall accumulations of 8 to 16 inches are possible overnight. Winds will start to back to the northeast Sunday morning and cold air advection will spread across the eastern Great Lakes through the day. The heavy widespread synoptic snow will move east of western NY Sunday morning and will move east of the North Country by Sunday afternoon. Snow will transition to lake effect during this time with gusty winds and areas of blowing and drifting snow. Snow accumulations of 3 to 6 inches are possible Sunday with the higher amounts along the southern shore of Lake Ontario and across the higher terrain. The Tug Hill region will also see enhancement from upslope conditions. Temperatures will take a tumble Sunday and Sunday night with highs in the single digits to low teens and near zero to the minus teens across the North Country Sunday night. Wind chills will go below zero early Sunday morning and fall through the day on Sunday. Wind chills will likely approach minus 20 across WNY and minus 40 across the North Country by Monday morning. As mentioned above, confidence has increased that a major winter storm will impact western and north-central NY this weekend, however there remains uncertainity as to where the heaviest snow axis will be and how wide it will be. With this, will continue to message the Winter Storm Watch Saturday afternoon through Monday afternoon. Possible (total) snow accumulations during this time range from 12- 18 inches with 18-24 inches along the southern shore of Lake Ontario and across the southern Tug Hill region. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything more is gravy. Anything less than 8” at this point is a bust in my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being on the wrong end of Lake Ontario and not in a favorable synoptic location it’s probably fairly low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of our big storms are terrible for about 90% of this sub because they cant transfer to coast and generally have to pass right over Rochester.

rochesterdave Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 GFS had an incremental drop in moisture for most of us. Similar to NAM. We are very much on the NW fringe of this storm. I’m a bit surprised at the bullish NWS forecast. They are definitely siding with a more phased system. 18z has not given a boost to that thinking (yet). Even if this thing jogged well SE, almost all of us would still see warning amounts. So there is that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must have been reading the other subs here, and learned that ICON > GFS, Ukie has led the model field with this system, 1C temp variations are a trend and not model noise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
