DISCUSSION...MRMS mosaic and KTYX radar imagery show an intense, steady-state lake-effect snow band persisting across Jefferson and Lewis Counties in far western NY. This snow-band is benefiting from an optimal fetch of moisture off of Lake Ontario, where 8+ C/km 0-3 km lapse rates are in place. As such, convective snowfall within this lake-effect band should persist past sunrise, as shown by the latest high-resolution guidance consensus. Furthermore, given the convective nature of the band, and degree of saturation in the dendritic growth zone, snowfall rates at least in the 2-3 inch/hour range are expected through the remainder of tonight. ...Squitieri.. 01/21/2025 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!7Gt6uW_R-kKsy7RuFHK9ghj_agOO-IVM9TtGxzutYqvZFtYNCuuaE5l91Sg2qZq7m0-yqdBan= nQpcb0gW3eaJa_4-TI$ for graphic product...
