MD 2251 CONCERNING HEAVY SNOW FOR PORTIONS OF WESTERN NEW YORK
Mesoscale Discussion 2251
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0214 PM CST Fri Dec 06 2024
Areas affected...portions of western New York
Concerning...Heavy snow
Valid 062014Z - 070115Z
SUMMARY...Lake-effect snow rates approaching 2 inches an hour are
possible into the evening hours.
DISCUSSION...A lake-effect snow band is ongoing across portions of
Lake Ontario, which is impinging on Oswego County NY and is
producing heavy snow based on the Fulton/Oswego County Airport ASOS.
Some slight backing of the low-level winds from northwesterly to
westerly, as shown by surface observations, will support a longer
fetch of moisture across Lake Ontario. These backing winds may help
intensify the ongoing snow band, as well as encourage this band to
take on a slightly more west-to-east orientation over the next
several hours. While at least one inch/hr rates are likely in the
immediate term, snowfall rates approaching 2 inches/hr may be
possible later this afternoon and evening.
