EVENT...LE SNOW BAND OVER OSWEGO COUNTY
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...LAKE EFFECT SNOW BAND OVER OSWEGO COUNTY
THAT HAS PERSISTED THROUGH THE MORNING SHOWING NO SIGNS OF WEAKENING.
VISIBLE IMAGERY SHOWING SOME OF THE HEAVER SNOWS ARE EXTENDING INTO
THE FAR NW PORTION OF ONEIDA COUNTY.  IR IMAGERY OVER PAST 3 HOURS HAS
BEEN SHOWING PERSISTENT TOPS OF -34C WHICH SUGGESTS THAT TOPS HAVE BEEN
SHOOTING TO 4KM WHICH IS 300-500M ABOVE THE LAKE INDUCED EL BASED ON 15Z
RUC ANALYSIS...WITH VISIBLE IMAGERY SUGGESTING TOPS NEAR 4KM RANGE HAVE
BEEN MORE PERSISTENT OVER THE PAST 1-2 HOURS.  THIS SUGGESTS THAT SOME
AREAS SAW RATES OF 2.0"-3.0"/HR AT TIMES WHILE THEY WERE IN THE CORE OF
THE BAND.

BAND MADE QUICK SWING TO THE NORTH EARLIER THIS MORNING INTO CENTRAL
AND NORTHERN OSWEGO COUNTY AND REMAINED NEARLY STATIONARY FOR THE PAST
SEVERAL HOURS...HOWEVER VIS IMAGERY IS SHOWING THE TOPS PICKING UP THEIR
NWD MOVEMENT AGAIN TOWARDS JEFFERSON/WRN LEWIS COUNTIES.  EXPECTING NWD
TREND OF BAND TO CONTINUE AS THE TROUGH CONTINUES TO LIFT NORTH WITH
RATES OF 1.0"-3.0"/HR LIKELY IN SOME LOCATIONS AS AM CURRENTLY NOT
EXPECTING BAND TO WEAKEN SIGNIFICANTLY IN THE SHORT-TERM.
