    Areas affected...Northern New York

    Concerning...Heavy snow=20

    Valid 182301Z - 190300Z

    SUMMARY...Periodic snow squalls will be possible in the coming hours
    as a cold front approaches northern New York.

    DISCUSSION...Recent regional radar composites and surface
    observations show a persistent snow band moving east across
    southeast Ontario. This band is primarily being driven by ascent
    along a cold front - likely through a shallow layer from the surface
    to around 700 mb where lapse rates are on the order of 7 C/km based
    on recent RAP mesoanalyses and forecast soundings. The snow
    band/cold front is expected to continue to push east into upstate NY
    within the next few hours. The combination of persistent frontal
    ascent, steep low-level lapse rates, and 25-30 mph wind gusts (which
    have been observed across southeast Ontario with the passage of the
    band/front) suggests snow squall conditions will be possible. Snow
    squall potential will likely be greatest along the eastern shores of
    Lake Ontario with diminishing confidence in snow squall potential
    with east/southeastern extent as low-level lapse rates begin to
    diminish due to the onset of nocturnal cooling.
