EVENT...LAKE ONTARIO FOCUSED SNOW PLUME...SMALL MULTIPLUMES OFF ERIE...
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...BIG STORY IS THE CONTINUED ORGANIZATION
AND FOCUSED CONCENTRATION OF THE LAKE ONTARIO SNOW PLUME PAST SEVERAL HRS.
CLOUD TOPS HAVE CONTINUED TO COOL WITH WESTERN PART OF THE PLUME OVER
THE CENTRAL PART OF THE LAKE.  SURFACE WINDS MORE WESTERLY AND NORTH
SHORE OCCASIONALLY WNW OR NW FOR CONVERGENCE OVER THE LAKE.  AS A RESULT
FOCUSED AND CONCENTRATED PLUME AFFECTING N OSWEGO COUNTY/FAR S JEFFERSON
COUNTY WITH 2-3 INCHES PER HR AND POSSIBLY 4-5 INCHES IN BEST UPGLIDE
AREAS AWAY FROM THE LAKE.  LIGHTER RATES AND AMOUNTS THE FURTHER SOUTH
AND SE IN OSWEGO COUNTY AWAY FROM THE LAKE.   STEADY LIKE N OSWEGO AS
OPPOSED TO BRIEF BURSTS SW TO C OSWEGO WHEREAS S JEFFERSON SEEMS TO
SHOWING A TREND OF THE LEADING EDGE OF THE SNOW PLUME NUDGING NORTH.
IN ANY CASE IN THE PLUME THERE IS ONE OR AT MOST 2 SHARPLY DELINEATED
EXCESSIVE SNOW SQUALL BAND SETTING UP OVER THE LAKE AND TAKING AIM AT
FAR SW AND S CENTRAL JEFFERSON AND EXT NW OSWEGO COUNTY.  THIS MAY RESULT
IN A 5 INCH PER HR RATE INLAND IF IT HOLDS TOGETHER.
PWS ONLY 0.15" BUT LOW LEVEL WINDS BEING MAXIMIZED FOR GOOD MESOSCALE
MOISTURE TRANSPORT.    WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR...
