EVENT...LAKE EFFECT MOSTLY OFF OF ONTARIO...
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...COMBO OF SURFACE RIDGING...RISING
PRESSURES...SHORT WAVE TROUGH PASSING WELL TO THE EAST...WESTERLY UPPER
FLOW AND MORE HELPING TO SHRIVEL UP LAKE EFFECT SNOW OFF ERIE INTO A
NARROW RELATIVELY WEAKER BAND ESPECIALLY COMPARED WITH EARLIER THIS
MORNING.  SLIGHT CHANCE VORT HANGING BACK C IL THRU C MO COULD PRODUCE
A LITTLE BIT OF RIDGING TO GET UPPER FLOW SWLY AGAIN...BUT EVEN IF THAT
HAPPENED IT WOULD NOT BE TILL TONIGHT AND NO GUARANTEE THAT WOULD HELP
REJUVENATE LAKE BAND.
NOW OFF LK ONTARIO...PRESSURE RISES NOT AS GREAT....RIDGING NOT AS
DEFINITIVE AND UPPER TROUGH FROM E QUEBEC LOW AS NEAR AS ST. LAWRENCE
TO E LK ONTARIO AND THIS HELPING CONTINUE MULTIPLE BANDS OFF E PART
OF ONTARIO.   FLOW REGIME NOT PERFECT FOR ONE OR MAYBE TWO PLUMES THAT
WOULD GIVE EXCESSIVE RATES OF SNOW...BUT ENOUGH MULTIPLE PLUMES FOR ONE
INCH PER HR SNOW RATES...ESPECIALLY OROGRAPHIC UPGLIDE OUR WELL EAST OF
E SHORES OF LK ONTARIO...IE JEFFERSON TO S ST LAWRENCE COUNTY AND N AND
C OSWEGO INTO LEWIS.  WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR...
