EVENT...LES PLUMES OFF LAKES ERIE/ONTARIO
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...LAKE ERIE...MULTI-PLUME SITUATION
DOMINATES LAKE ERIE. HOWEVER..VIS IMAGERY DOES SHOW A BIT MORE
ORGANIZED/DISTINCT PLUMES OVER ERN PART OF THE LAKE..FEEDING ACRS ERIE
COUNTY AND EXTENDING EWD TO VCNTY OF YATES/ONTARIO/SENECA COUNTIES. VIS
IMAGERY SHOWS THESE PLUMES ARE DIRECTLY LINKED TO FLOW OFF LAKE
MICHIGAN. SFC WIND PLOTS INVOF S CANADA/E LAKE ERIE SUGGEST SOME SFC
CONVERGENCE CONTRIBUTING TO THESE BETTER DEFINED PLUMES.  STLT EST
TECHNIQUE SUGGESTS SNOWFALL RATES OF 1-2"/HR ATTM. WOULD EXPECT MORE
OF THE SAME OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HRS.VIS ANIMATION INDICATES SOME
SWD DRIFT TO SOUTHERNMOST PLUME..WHICH SHOULD AT LEAST CATCH THE NRN
PORTION OF CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY.
.
LAKE ONTARIO...MULTI-PLUME SITUATION HERE AS WELL. BUT PLUMES HAVE A
MUCH LONGER OVER THE LAKE FETCH THAN ERIE. ADDITIONALLY, FEED EMANATES
FM LAKE HURON. LATEST IMAGERY SHOWS THAT THE ERN EXTEND OF THE PLUME
HAS NOW REACHED OSWEGO AND JEFFERSON COUNTIES..WITH STLT EST OF 1-2"/HR
ATTM. HOWEVER..IF/WHEN PLUMES CONSOLIDATE MORE..WOULD EXPECT SNOWFALL
RATES TO INCR LATER TODAY/TONIGHT.
