<div style='text-align:Left;'><div><div style='font-size:12pt'><p><span>The National Weather Service Offices in Buffalo, Binghamton and Albany create polygons to be used in lake effect snow situations, delineating the locations of the highest impact of the lake effect snow.  The polygons will not be produced for Winter Storm Watches and Winter Weather Advisories.  As the lake effect snow band moves, polygon areas will change spatially and temporally within the warned area to best delineate the areas of highest impact over the course of the lake effect snow event (for example, snowfall rate, blizzard-like conditions, total snowfall). Issuance of the product will be based upon forecaster confidence of reaching 12-hour and 24-hour Winter Storm / Lake Effect Snow Warning criteria, as noted in NWSI 10-513, pages D-9 and D-10.</span></p><p><span>The experiment adds latitude/longitude coordinates to segments of the Winter Weather Message text products and provides increased specificity with polygons issued for sub-county areas. These coordinates will be added to products containing the LES Warning Valid Time Event code (LE.W) for certain zones in western and central New York and northeastern Ohio, along and downwind of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario.</span><span /><span /></p><p><span>Link to graphical web page: </span><a href='https://www.weather.gov:443/buf/lespolygon' target='_blank' style='text-decoration:underline;'><span>https://www.weather.gov/buf/lespolygon </span></a><span>and </span><a href='https://viewer.weather.noaa.gov:443/winter' target='_blank' style='text-decoration:underline;'><span>https://viewer.weather.noaa.gov/winter </span></a></p><p><span>Link to data download (GeoJSON/KML): </span><a href='https://www.weather.gov:443/buf/lespolygon' target='_blank' style='text-decoration:underline;'><span>https://www.weather.gov/buf/lespolygon</span></a></p><p><span>Link to </span><a href='https://www.weather.gov:443/gis/IDP-GISRestMetadata' target='_blank' style='text-decoration:underline;'><span>metadata</span></a></p><p><span>Questions/Concerns about the service, please contact the </span><a href='mailto:nws.mapservices@noaa.gov' target='_blank' style='text-decoration:underline;'><span>DISS GIS</span></a><span> team</span></p><p><span>Time Information:</span></p><p><span /></p><p><span>Start_time and End_time</span></p></div></div></div>
