DISCUSSION...Strong low-level warm-air/moisture advection is taking place ahead and to the north of a surface low, currently positioned over western Pennsylvania, which is poised to move east through the afternoon. A band of heavy snow is already underway across far western New York per latest surface observations. 850 mb frontogenesis is evident along the Lake Erie/Ontario shorelines and is serving as a source of convergence. As such, the enhanced lift of relatively rich low-level moisture into an already saturated dendritic growth zone should continue to support additional bouts of heavy snow (1 inch/hour) for at least a few more hours across western New York, as also suggested by 12Z HREF and the last few runs of the HRRR. ...Squitieri.. 03/10/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!-wDRClwOEaXAKjXRkdy4M_tTP8PiPg1StfUClVlkWK07C0ofgGrX8p3mHU2T3I0Rd_pnz-JyR= nmNRfwGZFJlCyleY-c$ for graphic product...
