    Areas affected...portions of extreme southwest New York

    Concerning...Heavy snow=20

    Valid 190315Z - 190715Z

    SUMMARY...Occasional bouts of heavy snow, perhaps briefly exceeding
    1 inch/hr, remains possible with a primary snow band this evening,
    which is shifting northward towards Buffalo, NY. Areas of heaviest
    snow should be confined to about 30 miles inland from Lake Erie.

    DISCUSSION...A lingering snow band continues to promote moderate to
    heavy snow to areas immediately east of the Lake Erie shoreline. The
    approach of a very subtle mid-level impulse, currently over the
    Great lakes, is contributing to increased cyclonic upper flow and
    slight backing of the vertical wind field, supporting a gradual
    northward shift of the snow band. Though deep-layer ascent should
    weaken across western NY, 8 C/km low-level lapse rates overspread by
    a near-saturated dendritic growth zone should continue to support
    moderate to heavy snow across the Buffalo, NY area through at least
    early tonight. While there are some indications that this snow band
    is weakening, it is not out of the question for occasional heavy
    bursts of snow (perhaps briefly exceeding 1 inch/hr rates) to occur
    near the Lake Erie shoreline. As such, areas closest to the shore
    may experience brief periods of significantly reduced visibility and
    hazardous road conditions.

    Areas affected...eastern KY

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 121614Z - 121815Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Localized damaging wind gusts and hail are possible into
    the early afternoon as thunderstorms move across the area. A watch
    is unlikely in the short term.

    DISCUSSION...Ongoing strong thunderstorms are currently affecting
    portions of central/eastern KY. One supercell in particular -- now
    weakening over north-central KY -- produced hail and damaging wind
    gusts during the last couple of hours. A gradual uptick in
    thunderstorm coverage and potentially damaging wind gusts as well as
    hail are possible during the next few hours.

    These storms are currently traversing a buoyancy axis extending north-northeastward through middle TN and eastern KY. Located along
    the southern periphery of a belt of stronger mid-level flow, slight
    upper-level difluence amidst a warm-air advection regime is
    supporting additional updraft development ahead of ongoing storms.
    Additional convective invigoration is also possible along a
    congealed outflow boundary stretching from northern KY southwestward
    into western TN. Short-term forecast profiles indicate a favorable
    environment for updraft maintenance, including around 1500-2000 J/kg
    of MLCAPE (diminishing with northward extent) with relatively
    straight, long hodographs in the cloud layer. Some inhibition may
    remain across the area, but it appears to be eroding given surface
    temperatures warming into the low 80s and hints of a Cu field
    forming beneath the cirrus canopy. Relatively moist profiles and
    steep mid-level lapse rates (around 8 C/km) could support locally
    damaging winds and instances of larger hail. The overall threat
    should be somewhat tempered by limited boundary-layer heating (due
    to an expanding cirrus canopy) and relatively weak flow in the
    lowest few km AGL. A watch is not anticipated in the short term, but
    trends will continue to be monitored into the early afternoon.
