DISCUSSION...The lake-effect snow-band has taken a more southwest-to-northeast orientation over the past hour or so, with heavy snow recently reported as far south as the Dunkirk Airport. 04Z mesoanalysis shows increased boundary-layer convergence and moistening along a northern Chautaugua to Erie County line, which will support continued heavy snowfall rates within the main band. Snowfall accumulations over very short time periods via reports suggest that near 3 inch/hour snowfall rates may be occurring with this snow band. With the 04Z mesoanalysis showing 7.5 C/km 0-3 km lapse rates present over water (where a long moisture fetch is in place), 2-3 inch/hour snowfall rates may continue into the early morning hours, as also suggested by latest high-resolution guidance consensus. ...Squitieri.. 01/21/2025 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!7iMFNX-IWUiHtamZZ4tNRL1r0DJ2U7GWEmY1quls-j9QZzzVG7v_kLDy9axYKrUkBsQY2vgXF= hV80t2hgF3F--iNk18$ for graphic product...
