Areas affected...Parts of western NY/extreme northwest PA downstream
of Lake Erie

Concerning...Heavy snow=20

Valid 121539Z - 121845Z

SUMMARY...Very heavy snow rates will continue in the short term,
with some weakening possible by early afternoon.

DISCUSSION...An intense lake-effect snow band is ongoing this
morning across parts of western NY and extreme northwest PA,
downstream of Lake Erie. Recent reports suggest snow rates in excess
of 3 inches per hour in the heaviest part of the band, with one
report of 12 inches over a 2 hour span in Erie County, NY. These
very heavy snow rates will persist in some areas through the
remainder of the morning. In addition, wind gusts of 30-45 kt have
been noted across the region this morning, resulting in occasional
blizzard conditions.=20

A notable shortwave trough embedded in deep cyclonic flow is
currently moving east of Lake Huron and approaching the lower Great
Lakes region. Low-level flow response to this shortwave could result
in some disruption of the ongoing snow band by early afternoon, and
short-term guidance (including the 12Z CAMs) generally suggest the
band will tend to drift south and at least temporarily weaken by
early afternoon.
