    Areas affected...Lee of Lake Ontario (southern Jefferson...northern Oswego...and Lewis Counties)

    Concerning...Heavy snow

    Valid 310851Z - 311445Z

    SUMMARY...High snowfall rates (2"+/hr) are expected within a single
    snow band in lee of Lake Ontario through the remainder of the night
    and this morning. This snow band will shift southward through 12Z
    and should stall near and south of the Jefferson/Oswego Counties
    line into northern Oswego and southern Lewis Counties through at
    least the morning.

    DISCUSSION...Trends in mosaic radar and individual radar imagery
    indicated a southward shift of a lake effect snow band over and in
    lee of Lake Ontario has been underway since about 07Z. Surface
    observation along the north shore of the lake at CWQP (Point Petre,
    ON) showed the wind had veered to westerly with the equatorward
    passage of this band. The passage of a surface trough across
    southern ON and far southern QB, while the northern extent of an
    anticyclone expands into the lower Great Lakes through this morning,
    should maintain a westerly long-fetch convective snow band across
    the long axis and in lee of Lake Ontario. Most CAMs suggest the
    southward shift of the band will persist through 12Z across southern
    Jefferson and northern Lewis Counties. General agreement then
    exists indicating the band will stall near and south of the
    Jefferson/Oswego Counties line into northern Oswego to southern
    Lewis Counties through the morning.

    Steep low-level lapse rates per forecast soundings and persistent
    low-level convergence across the long axis of Lake Ontario suggest
    high snowfall rates in lee of the eastern part of this lake, while
    upslope flow inland will further enhance these snowfall rates.
