SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...CLOUD TOP TEMPS HAVE BEEN SLOWLY WARMING
PAST FEW HRS TO AROUND -30C PRESENTLY. PLOT OF SFC WINDS INDICATE A
SWRLY/WSWRLY FLOW ACROSS THE WRN END OF LK ONTARIO AND A MOSTLY W WIND
ACROSS THE ERN PART OF THE LK. LATEST SATL WINDS SHOW WRLY WINDS ACROSS
THE LK AS WELL AT THE LOWER LVLS. WITH THE WINDS ON THE SW END OF THE LK
BECOMING MORE SWRLY OVER THE PAST FEW HRS..WRN PART OF THE PLUME LOOKS
AS THOUGH IT IS SLOWLY BEGINNING TO LIFT NEWD TWDS THE CENTRAL PART OF
THE LK AWAY FROM THE S SHORE. LATEST IR SHOWS THE ERN END OF THE PLUME
WHICH HAS BEEN VERY SLOWLY SINKING SWD INTO N CAYUGA/N ONONDAGA/S OSWEGO
COUNTIES..HAS STARTED TO WEAKEN AND LOOKS AS THOUGH IT IS STARTING TO
GET CUT OFF. ERN END OF PLUME MAY CONTINUE FOR A LITTLE WHILE LONGER BUT
CHANGE IN WIND DIRECTION SEEMS AS THOUGH IT IS STARTING TO CUT OFF THE
HVY SNOW THREAT. BUFKIT FCST SOUNDINGS SHOW A VERY LOW DENDRITIC SNOW
GROWTH LYR THOUGH..FROM 925 MB DOWN TO THE SFC DUE TO THE COLD TEMPS SO
EVEN THOUGH CLOUD TOPS HAVE WARMED..LOW CLOUDS COULD STILL BE PRODUCING
SOME GOOD SNOW RATES. BELIEVE WILL SEE THE PLUME TRY AND REFORM OVER THE
NEXT FEW HRS WITHIN THE SWRLY LOW LVL FLOW AND LINE UP TWDS KART. WILL
CONTINUE TO MONITOR.
