Message: [QUOTE="shandeezy7, post: 4928062, member: 720"] So yeah, this doesn't sound ideal for Sunday. Let's hope the lake snow stays south, or else it could be a real mess. [URL unfurl="true"]https://buffalonews.com/news/local/weather/don-paul-damaging-winds-on-the-way-to-wny-harsh-wintry-playoff-conditions-sunday/article_d089b710-ae49-11ee-b18a-a308f26e92cc.html#tracking-source=mp-homepage[/URL] [I]As of this writing, nothing is carved in stone about the upcoming weekend, other than we will be very windy and much colder by Sunday. On Friday, another deepening storm system will begin moving north toward the Great Lakes. While its precise track cannot be determined yet, all current indications project this as a major low pressure system, as seen in this [URL='https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/medr/9lh_conus.gif']Weather Prediction Center Saturday morning forecast map[/URL]. Both the American GFS and European ECMWF present this low as exceptionally powerful, and passing to our northwest on a track favorable to producing strong to high winds by Saturday afternoon, as temps fall through the 30s. Snow showers and accumulating lake-effect snow will set up as the colder air races in. The [URL='https://m1o.pivotalweather.com/maps/models/gfs/2024010812/126/prateptype_cat-imp.us_ne.png']lake snow[/URL] may start out near the metro area on a southwest wind, and then settle southward as winds veer to more westerly. By Sunday morning, arctic air will have established its takeover with accompanying strong westerly winds. If the winds remain out of the west, most ongoing lake-effect snow should stay south of the stadium. Temperatures will be in the low 20s before and during the game, but the [URL='https://m1o.pivotalweather.com/maps/models/ecmwf_full/2024010800/162/sfctapp-imp.us_ne.png']wind chill[/URL] will be in the single digits. In other words, these will be the kinds of conditions even Bills fans have not experienced in a long while. Peak gusts are likely to exceed 40 mph, with 20-30 mph average wind speeds during much of the day. Currently, most model ensembles favor greater snow depth on the ground to be south of Orchard Park.[/I] [/QUOTE]
