Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Buffalo NY 128 PM EST Thu Mar 4 2021
SYNOPSIS. Temperatures will now remain firmly at below normal levels through the upcoming weekend . as several cold frontal passages will continually reinforce a late winter airmass. The cold will be accompanied by some nuisance lake snows . but accumulations will be insignificant. A major warm up is then expected next week with temperatures in the 50s and 60s by mid week.
NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/. Subsidence and drier air mixing to the sfc resulting in clearing from the north for the remainder of the afternoon. Temps in the teens (North Country) to the 20s in the west.
Uneventful tonight for most areas . although passing shortwave will encourage an increase in clouds for Eastern Lake Ontario region along with some flurries . stray light snow shower for Lewis county. Also some flurries/very light snow showers possible southeast of both lakes. Mins will range from single digits in the North country to teens elsewhere. These will be nearly 10 deg f below normal.
Most of Friday to be dry . but weak lift ahead of reinforcing cold front will combine with deepening moisture from the northeast to allow for some light snow showers by the end of the day. Temps will struggle to freezing in the far west . but most areas will not make it out of the 20s.
Arctic front to sag through the forecast area Friday night with a great coverage of snow showers.
SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY/. Aloft, a positively tilted trough over the Northeast Saturday morning will eventually push east by Monday, where upper level riding across the Mid-West will work its way into the area. With the trough overhead, cold air at 850mb will remain in the mid negative teens Celsius for the weekend. This will be cold enough to continue to support lake effect snow showers south and southeast of both Lakes Erie and Ontario, but primarily south of Lake Ontario. Overall, an inch or two will be possible this weekend.
The aforementioned ridging to the west of the trough will make its way into the central Great Lakes Sunday afternoon, which will shift its associated surface high over the region. This will act to diminish any lingering lake effect by Sunday afternoon. Then with the surface high overhead, a period of dry weather can be expected through the start of the new work week.
The below normal temperatures will continue Saturday and Sunday with highs reaching the mid to upper 20s across most locations. Some places along the lower terrain will reach 30, while the higher elevations east of Lake Ontario will remain cool with highs in the low 20s. This cool streak will break by Monday, when the area will be influenced by warm air advection due to the high pressure. Temperatures will warm up to normal with highs in the 30s east of Lake Ontario and low to mid 40s elsewhere.
LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/. The warm and dry trend continues Monday night through Wednesday, though a weak warm front will cross the region Monday night into Tuesday morning. With the passage of the front a few rain or snow showers are possible for the area east of Lake Ontario. Otherwise, dry weather will prevail.
Meanwhile aloft, a trough across western Canada will push the ridge axis east. The trough to the west of the area will let a shortwave pass through its base and cause its associated surface low to intensify across the western Great Lakes Wednesday. As the surface low continues on its northeastward track, it will drag its associated frontal features across the region late Wednesday night and Thursday, which will cause chances for rain showers to increase starting Wednesday night.
The weak warm frontal passage Monday night into Tuesday will initiate a warm trend for the remainder of the period. High temperatures will start off in the 40s Tuesday, and could reach near 60 across the warmer locations in the Genesee Valley Wednesday.
With the higher terrain still blanketed by some sort of snowpack and the warm ambient temperatures, the snowpack will continue to ripen and melt. This may may cause some flooding and/or ice jam flooding, though this is mainly the case for the WNY area. The flooding potential will continue to be monitored as the warm up approaches. For now will continue to carry a mention for this in the HWO product.
AVIATION /19Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/. There will be lingering MVFR conditions in scattered snow showers across the Southern Tier through about 20z . otherwise VFR weather will be in place through tonight Winds will remain gusty though. reaching 25 to 30 knots at times.
Friday will feature fair VFR weather with continued wind gusts to 30 knots.
Outlook .
Friday night . MVFR conditions with snow showers likely. Saturday . VFR to MVFR in scattered snow showers. Sunday . Mainly VFR weather with just a chance of snow showers. Monday and Tuesday . VFR.
