Areas affected...western/central NY and northern PA

Concerning...Snow Squall=20

Valid 172038Z - 172345Z

SUMMARY...Long-lived snow squall may persist into early evening,
while likely diminishing in areal extent/intensity.

DISCUSSION...A long-lived snow squall which began west of Cleveland,
has recently passed through the Buffalo Metro Area, with numerous
first-order observing sites along Lake Erie having recorded
half-mile or less visibilities and gusts of 30-40 kts. More sporadic
snow squall conditions have been noted along the trailing portion of
the band that is now in western PA. A pocket of warmer surface
temperatures in western NY may help sustain the squall near the Lake
Ontario vicinity into early evening before more prominent weakening
of lapse rates. Large-scale mid-level warming will lower inversion
heights and combined with the onset of nocturnal surface cooling,
these factors should aid in the squall diminishing. This is
supported by latest RAP/early-afternoon CAM guidance with a
reduction in the snow-squall parameter and simulated reflectivity
trends towards 00Z.
