AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
225 PM EDT FRI JUN 8 2007

.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH WESTERN NEW YORK THIS EVENING.
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL ACCOMPANY THE FRONT WITH A COOLER
AND DRIER AIRMASS MOVING IN BEHIND THE FRONT. A RIDGE WILL THEN
BUILD OVER THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES REGION AND REMAIN IN PLACE
THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
CAP NOTED ON 12Z SOUNDING APPEARS TO BE JUST ABOUT GONE WITH WAVE
CLOUDS IN WESTERN NY NO LONGER APPARENT. GOES IMAGER HAVING
DIFFICULTY PENETRATING SCATTERED CLOUD COVER...BUT LAPS...RUC..AND
GOES SOUNDER APPEAR TO SHOW LI VALUES APPROACHING -6. SBCAPES ARE
ABOVE 1500J/KG NOW AS WELL...ONLY TO INCREASE THROUGH 6PM. STILL
RELATIVELY DECENT WIND PROFILE IN TERMS OF SPEED SHEAR BUT WITH
LITTLE DIRECTIONAL COMPONENT WITH A MEAN SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW AT 30
TO 40KTS.

IN THE WEST...LAKE ERIE SHADOW APPEARS TO BE FROM HAMBURG NORTH
THROUGH HAMILTON ON...WITH CLOUD STREAKS NOW EVIDENT FURTHER WEST
IN SOUTHERN ONTARIO. STILL EXPECT SOME DEVELOPMENT ALONG THESE
BOUNDARIES AHEAD OF THE MAIN FRONT...WHICH IS WELL UPSTREAM AND
WONT ARRIVE UNTIL AROUND 8PM. MORE ON THAT IN A BIT. MOST RECENT
OBSERVATIONS AT 18Z SHOW CONVERGENCE BETWEEN KDKK AND KJHW WHICH
AGREES WITH VISIBLE SATELLITE ANALYSIS OF LAKE BREEZES. EXPECT
CONVECTIVE INITIATION IN THE NEXT HOUR OR SO...BETWEEN 230 AND
330PM...WITH RAPID DEVELOPMENT FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON.
A LINE OF CONVECTION WILL SPREAD EAST/NORTHEAST FROM THAT POINT
ON.

A BIT MORE DIFFICULT TO PINPOINT CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT FURTHER
EAST...BUT EXPECT SCATTERED ACTIVITY LATER IN THE AFTERNOON ACROSS
THE FINGER LAKES. CONVECTION OVER EASTERN LAKE ONTARIO MAY NOT GET
GOING UNTIL LATE THIS AFTERNOON OR EARLY EVENING.

WE ARE CURRENTLY UNDER A MODERATE RISK FROM SPC AND MAY BE
ISSUING A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH. WILL ISSUE NEW FORECAST AFTER
THAT TIME IF OR WHEN NEEDED. MAIN THREAT CONTINUES TO BE STRONG
WIND POTENTIAL WITH LONG LINES OF THUNDERSTORMS RACING
EAST/NORTHEASTWARD FROM THE INITIAL LAKE BREEZE BOUNDARIES.

THE CONVECTION AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT SHOULD NOT ARRIVE IN
WESTERN NY UNTIL ABOUT 8PM. THIS LINE TOO HAS THE POTENTIAL TO
PRODUCE SEVERE WEATHER...ALTHOUGH THE THREAT WILL BE RAPIDLY BE
DIMINISHING WITH TIME AFTER SUNSET.

NEARLY ALL OF WESTERN NY SHOULD BE FREE OF ANY THUNDERSTORM THREAT
AFTER MIDNIGHT...WITH CLEAR SKIES LATE TONIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
THE WEEKEND LOOKS DRY WITH HIGH PRESSURE MOVING INTO THE GREAT
LAKES REGION. THIS WILL BRING DRY WEATHER AND MORE SEASONABLE
TEMPERATURES THAT WILL LAST INTO MONDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE STRETCHING FROM QUEBEC TO THE LOWER GREAT LAKES
WILL REMAIN INTACT THROUGH MOST OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. EXPECT
MAINLY DRY WEATHER...BUT A FEW SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY AS A WEAK FRONT DROPS SOUTH ACROSS THE RIDGE. WILL
MENTION A RISK OF SHOWERS FOR FRIDAY AS A WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTH
ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY. AREA TEMPERATURES WILL BE CLOSE TO
SEASONAL NORMS.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
STRONG THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED ACROSS THE REGION LATER THIS AFTERNOON.

MOIST AND VERY UNSTABLE AIR AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT
WILL GENERATE MODERATE TO STRONG THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS MUCH OF THE
AREA THIS AFTERNOON. THE STORMS WILL HAVE THE GREATEST POTENTIAL TO
BECOME SEVERE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN TIER...THE GENESEE VALLEY AND
FINGER LAKES AREA. THE BREEZE OFF LAKE ERIE WILL TEND TO STABILIZE
THE AIR DOWNWIND OF THE LAKE...REDUCING THE THREAT FOR STRONG STORMS
VCNTY OF KBUF AND KIAG. A SIMILAR TREND IS EXPECTED EAST OF LAKE
ONTARIO.

EXPECT MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS THIS AFTERNOON...BUT CIGS AND VSBYS
WILL OCCASIONALLY LOWER TO MVFR IN TSRA.

THE COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO CROSS WESTERN AND CENTRAL NEW YORK
BETWEEN 00Z AND 04Z. A TWO HOUR WINDOW OF -SHRA/TSRA POSSIBLE FOR
ALL SITES WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE. HIGH PRESSURE WITH VFR
CONDITIONS WILL THEN BUILD IN FROM THE WEST AS THE OVERNIGHT.

LOOKING FURTHER AHEAD...AN AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE OVER THE
REGION DURING THE WEEKEND WITH EXCELLENT FLYING WEATHER EXPECTED.
THE HIGH REMAINS IN PLACE THROUGH EARLY NEXT WITH VFR CONDITIONS
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH AT LEAST WEDNESDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT THROUGH THIS EVENING
FOR THE NEARSHORE WATERS OF LAKE ERIE.

MODERATELY STRONG SOUTHWEST WINDS AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT
WILL CONTINUE ALONG LAKE ERIE THROUGH THIS EVENING. THERE WILL ALSO
BE SOME GUSTY THUNDERSTORMS TO DEAL WITH THIS AFTERNOON. SOME OF
THESE STORMS WILL LIKELY BE STRONG AND PRODUCE WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS
OF 35 KNOTS...WHICH WILL WARRANT SPECIAL MARINE WARNINGS. MARINERS
SHOULD PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE SKY AS THIS AFTERNOON PROGRESSES
AND SHOULD ALSO KEEP AN EAR TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO FOR POSSIBLE
STATEMENTS.

THE COLD FRONT WILL PASS ACROSS LAKES ERIE AND ONTARIO EARLY THIS
EVENING...THEN HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WILL BUILD
TO THE EAST ACROSS THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES LATE TONIGHT AND
SATURDAY. THIS WILL CAUSE THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TO RELAX WHICH WILL
ALLOW THE WINDS AND WAVES SUBSIDE TONIGHT.

IDEAL BOATING CONDITIONS ARE ANTICIPATED FOR THE WEEKEND AS THE HIGH
PRESSURE WILL REMAIN OVER THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES. LIGHT WINDS AND
MINIMAL WAVE HEIGHTS ARE FORECAST FOR BOTH SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.

&&

.BUF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
NY...NONE.
MARINE...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY UNTIL 10 PM EDT THIS EVENING FOR LEZ020-
         040-041.
