BuffaloWeather Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 What about the 219 and 400? I assume those will be closed as well. Those 2 highways get hit harder usually than the 90. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 Maybe this makes another run at the city tonight? LAKE EFFECT PARAMETERS ARE VERY FAVORABLE FOR THIS HEAVY BAND OFLAKE EFFECT SNOW TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE MORNING RUSH HOUR. ASNOTED...A FEW RUMBLES OF THUNDER ARE POSSIBLE EARLY THIS MORNINGWITHIN THIS SNOWBAND. SNOWFALL RATES 2 TO 3 INCHES PER HOURARE POSSIBLE AS THE BAND BEGINS ITS SOUTHWARD PUSH DURING THEMORNING RUSH HOUR THROUGH THE BUFFALO METRO AREA...AND BATAVIA AREA.THIS UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE WILL CROSS WESTERN NEW YORK IN THE NEXTFEW HOURS...AND VEERING WINDS BEHIND THE SHORTWAVE WILLACCELERATE THIS LAKE EFFECT SNOWBAND SOUTHWARD MIDMORNING...REACHING FAR SOUTHERN ERIE AND THE FAR NORTHERN PORTIONSOF THE SOUTHERN TIER BY LATE MORNING. A BRIEF PERIOD OF DRIER AIRBEHIND THE SHORTWAVE WILL ACT TO DECREASE THE SNOWFALL RATES...ANDWITH A BIT OF WIND SHEAR THE SNOWBAND MAY BE BRIEFLY DISORGANIZEDFOR A TIME LATE THIS MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON.AS SEVERAL UPSTREAM SHORTWAVES PASS THROUGH THE UPPER LEVELTROUGH...EXPECT THIS LAKE EFFECT SNOWBAND TO OSCILLATE A BIT. ANORTHWARD TRACK MAY TAKE THIS SNOWBAND BACK TOWARDS THE SOUTHTOWNSOF BUFFALO BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON...FOR WHICH ADDITIONAL HEADLINESMAY BE NEEDED.BY TONIGHT ANOTHER UPTICK IN SNOWFALL RATES ARE LIKELY. THIS WILL BETHE RESULT OF THE SOUTHWEST WINDS ALONG THE LONG FETCH OF THELAKE...INCREASED LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE...LAKE INDUCED EQUILIBRIUMLEVELS STILL OVER 10K FEET...AND INCREASING MOISTURE AHEAD OFANOTHER SHORTWAVE. WITH THE INCREASE IN STRENGTH OF THIS LAKE ERIESNOWBAND...A GOOD WESTERLY PUSH WILL BRING DECENT SNOWS AS FARINLAND AS LIVINGSTON COUNTY OVERNIGHT...FOR WHICH A LAKE EFFECT SNOWADVISORY WILL CONTINUE. THIS BAND OF SNOW LAKE EFFECT SNOW MAYSETTLE SOUTHWARD LATER OVERNIGHT BACK TOWARDS THE SOUTHERNTIER...BEFORE MAKING ITS FINAL NORTHWARD PUSH LATE FRIDAY NIGHT ANDTOWARDS SATURDAY MORNING.
