Models indicating the possibility of something brewing for black Friday. Looks like a miller B type setup with low odds but if you are in the mood to track could be first threat to keep an eye on.

Always in the mood to track snow haha. The models have been pretty consistent with showing some sort of storm Thanksgiving weekend and have moved away from the idea of a massive cutter. Also wondering if we could pick up some light snow tomorrow afternoon with a disturbance rolling through.

Looks worth monitoring radar tomorrow morning for sure. NWS makes mention of some potential for heavier snow or even a squall.


Friday will continue to be cold, Hi-Res models portray snow
shower potential increasing with the passing shortwave passage
from late morning through late afternoon. With reinforced cold
air from the west, CAPE could increase between 20-35 J/kg and
convective snow bands could hold together. Nevertheless, models
indicate a very well defined vortmax associated with he
shortwave moving in tomorrow morning just after 12Z with strong
winds aloft. The potential certainly exists with the amount of
instability present for an isolated heavier band or even a snow
squall. Thus have upped snowfall amounts a tad and included all
of the Ohio counties in the HWO. As well, the better agreement
with the hi res models showing better instability coupled with
mechanical assistance from the terrain in the southeast, the
totals in the southeast were raised to 1 to 3 inches. A Special
Weather Statement may be needed or even a Winter Weather
Advisory.

Lucky.

Not really as far as actual Buffalo. Looks like the airport got a foot, but the city and places north have stopped snowing for quite some time. It’s south that will get the epic totals.

I don’t think there are a lot of posters from actual in Buffalo here, but it would be interesting to see how a typical weenie would react to have 4 or 5’ 20 miles down the road and not get it. Our thread would be NUTS.

I have to think most there would take it in stride just due to the nature of LES, AND the frequency of snow in general.

All you have to do is remember that North Hills snow hole during the MLK day storm.

A little hope for the after Thanksgiving storm. 

United States 8-14 Day Probabilistic Snow Hazards Outlook

Probably outdated at this point, unfortunately. Time stamp appears to be Friday, before models trended warmer for next weekend. GFS has a beast of a storm at 12z, but a waste of 2” QPF that falls as all rain.

Oh, yeah, missed the timestamp.  Still time to trend better, but usually once it goes warm, so it goes.
