AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
236 PM EDT THU JUL 24 2003

UPPER AIR VORT AND SFC FRONTAL SYSTEM HAVE ONCE AGAIN PRODUCED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS REGION. STORMS THIS AFTERNOON HAVE
PRODUCED SPOTTY HEAVY RAINFALL AND SOME SMALL HAIL...BUT FLOODING IS
NOT MUCH OF A PROBLEM IN MOST AREAS DUE TO SOME STORM MOTION TODAY.

I EXPECT SHOWERS TO DIMINISH THIS EVENING WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME
HEATING AND WEAKENING UPPER DYNAMICS. I WILL INCLUDE AN EVENING
PERIOD FOR THOSE AREAS THAT WILL BE AFFECTED BY SHOWERS.

HIGH PRESSURE WITH DRIER AIR BUILDS INTO REGION FRIDAY THROUGH
SATURDAY. TEMPS SHOULD REBOUND TO NEAR NORMAL READINGS FRIDAY AND
ABOVE NORMAL ON SATURDAY. INCREASING HUMIDITY AND A APPROACHING
FRONTAL SYSTEM SHOULD PRODUCE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SATURDAY
NIGHT AND SUNDAY. THE NEW GFS HAS SLOWED THE FRONT SOMEWHAT FROM
YESTERDAY. CHC POPS WILL BE USED FOR BOTH PERIODS NOW.

XTENDED...FAIR WEATHER EXPECTED MON AND TUE. CHC SHOWERS ON
WEDNESDAY. TEMPERATURES REMAIN SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL FOR LATE JULY.

.BUF...NONE.
