DISCUSSION...A persistent band of lake-effect snow, around 230 km long, across Lake Erie has made a slight shift southward through the morning. Upstream, a shortwave trough is rotating within the main open wave trough with increasing DCVA and large scale ascent across the Ohio River Valley progged to shift northward into New York by 20-21z. Ahead of this feature, southwesterly winds and long moisture fetch continues across Lake Erie. Lake induced 0-3 km lapse rates of 9+ C/km will continue through afternoon as colder air aloft interacts with warm lake water below. The primary snow band is currently located across the area of greatest surface convergence, which has been shifting southward through the morning. This band should see an uptick in intensity over the next couple of hours with rates 2+ inches per hour primarily across the southern Buffalo Metro extending northward into northwestern Wyoming County. Near zero visibility will be possible at times with dangerous travel conditions likely. ...Thornton/Guyer.. 11/18/2022 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!67zvUJoUQg75A2lFHCtNo5gnKnacN7uURQkXglGJ1_7FlADK6lTdk0bJO2BFZUCAamvBCAA74= zqwJvanJYqLLcbAr-o$ for graphic product...
