EVENT...LAKE EFFECT BAND OFF LAKE ONTARIO INTO OSWEGO COUNTY
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...LAKE BAND WHICH HAS BEEN VERY PERSISTENT
THRU THE NIGHT WITH LITTLE MVMNT NOTED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY IS SHOWING
SIGNS OF WEAKENING PAST CPL OF HRS. CLD TOP TEMPS HAVE WARMED 5 DEG FROM
-32C TO -27C FROM 915Z TO 1415Z. HOWEVER..LENGTH OF BAND HAS REMAINED
FAIRLY CONSTANT WITH BACK EDGE JUST OFFSHORE OF ORLEANS COUNTY. SO EXPECT
THAT SNOWFALL RATES HAVE DIMINISHED A BIT PAST FEW HRS WITH CONTINUED
WEAKENING THROUGH THE MRNG INTO THE AFTN. ALSO EXPECT THAT AS WINDS BEGIN
TO BACK LATER THIS AFTN IN RESPONSE TO APCHG SHORTWAVE FROM MIDWEST THAT
REMAINS OF BAND WILL LIFT INTO SRN JEFFERSON.
