AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
959 AM EDT THU JUL 5 2007

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE NEAR JAMES BAY WILL DRAG A COLD FRONT ACROSS THE REGION
TODAY WITH A THREAT OF MORE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THE FRONT IS
EXPECTED TO MOVE EAST OF THE AREA TONIGHT. A SECONDARY TROUGH IS
EXPECTED TO CROSS THE AREA FRIDAY WITH A CHANCE OF ANOTHER SHOWER OR
THUNDERSTORM ESPECIALLY DURING THE AFTERNOON. HIGH PRESSURE WILL
SPREAD DRIER AIR INTO THE REGION FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
A QUICK UPDATE TO ACCOUNT FOR BAND OF CONVECTION ALONG NIAGARA
PENINSULA AND THE NORTHERN LAKE ERIE SHORE. THIS BAND WILL
CONTINUE TO TREK EASTWARD AND IS EXPECTED TO STRENGTHEN SOMEWHAT AS
IT ENCOUNTERS WARMER AIR WITHIN REGION OF SUNNIER SKIES OVER
WESTERN NY TO THE FINGER LAKES. OTHER CONVECTION OVER NORTH OHIO
MAY EJECT OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES WHICH WOULD INTERSECT AND INTERACT
WITH OUTFLOW FROM NIAGARA CONVECTION...THUS LEADING TO ENHANCED LOW
LEVEL FORCING FOR DEVELOPMENT OVER SOUTHERN NY STATE DURING THE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. LACK OF SIGNIFICANT WINDS ALOFT /SHEAR OR
SPEED/ AND SATURATED PROFILE LIMIT THE RISK OF DOWNDRAFT WIND GUSTS BUT
FRZG LEVEL AT 11300FT IS RATHER LOW AND MAY ALLOW FORMATION OF
SEVERE HAIL IN THE STRONGEST CELLS...THOSE BUILDING ABOVE
30-35KFT.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 AM FRIDAY/...
WILL KEEP CHANCE OF AN ERLY EVE SHWR/TSTM AS AXIS OF UPPER TROUGH
MOVES THROUGH AND KEEP SLGT CHC SHWR OVERNIGHT IN GRIDS SOUTH OF
IAG-ROC LINE AS WEAK SHORT WAVE MOVES ACROSS INTERIOR SECTIONS OF
WESTERN NY.

ON FRIDAY, GOING MORE TWD GFS WHICH HAS A SECONDARY TROF DROPPING
THROUGH THE REGION IN THE MORNING WITH ANOTHER SHORT WAVE DROPPING
SE FRM GEORGIAN BAY DURG THE AFTERNOON. WILL GO WITH LOW CHC SHWR
TSTM MAINLY DURG THE AFTERNOON EXCEPT NORTH COUNTRY WHERE THERE IS
ENOUGH MOISTURE WITH MRNG TROUGH TO KEEP CHANCE POP GOING THERE ALL
DAY. FRIDAY NIGHT SFC RIDGE FRM OHIO VALLEY BUILDS INTO
WESTERN NY WITH SKIES GRADUALLY CLRING OVERNIGHT.

SATURDAY, ONE FINAL SHORT WAVE DROPS SE INTO EXTRME NORTHERN NEW
YORK WHERE WILL GO WITH SLGT CHC SHWR ST LAW AREA. ELSEWHERE SFC
HIGH OVER CENTRAL LAKES AND OHIO VALLEY BUILDS EAST BRINGING
MSTLY/PTLY SUNNY SKIES. WARM FRONT TO OUR WEST IN THE EVENING BRINGS
AN INCREASE IN CLOUD MAINLY TO AREAS FROM THE THRUWAY NORTHWARD.
TEMPS GETTING BACK TO NEAR NORMAL LVLS WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 70S
TO ARND 80.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
A RETURN TO REAL SUMMER WX IS IN STORE FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY AS IT
NOW APPEARS THAT WE WILL BE FIRMLY IN WARM SECTOR AS SLIGHT UPPER
RIDGING PUSHES INTO LOWER LAKES REGION AND KEEPS ANY BOUNDARY OR
FRONT TO OUR NORTH. MAY START WITH A FEW WARM FRONTAL SHOWERS
SUNDAY MORNING E OF LK ONTARIO...AND LOW CHC SHOWERS AREAWIDE MON
AFTERNOON BUT OTHERWISE DRY WITH SOME SUN AND INCREASING HUMIDITY.
850 MB TEMPS REACH 18-19C SUN PM WHICH WOULD SUPPORT 90 DEG
READINGS SO WILL NUDGE TEMPS UP A BIT...ONLY SLIGHTLY COOLER
DOWNWIND OF LK ERIE AND ONT IN BUF/ART AREAS BUT STILL M-U 80S.

FORECAST CONFIDENCE DECLINES AGAIN FOR TUES/WED PERIOD AS MODELS
HAVING DIFFICULTY WITH SYSTEMS COMING IN OFF PACIFIC INTO WESTERN
CANADA AND THEIR ASSOCIATED DOWNSTREAM EVOLUTION. FOR NOW WILL GO
WITH HPC SOLUTION WITH SOME GFS INFLUENCE AND STILL FIGURE ON
FRONTAL PASSAGE SOMETIME TUESDAY OR TUESDAY NIGHT...SO CHC POPS
THEN...DRIER AND A BIT COOLER WED SO WILL LOWER POPS TO 20.
AGAIN...CONFIDENCE LOW DURING THIS PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION /14Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
UPDATED TAFS TO ACCOUNT FOR CLUSTER OF THUNDERSTORMS CROSSING THE
NIAGARA FRONTIER FROM 14Z TO 18Z. ELSEWHERE...VFR CONDITIONS
SHOULD PREVAIL ALTHOUGH TSTORM THREAT WILL INCREASE LATER THIS
AFTERNOON.

LOOKING FURTHER FRIDAY AFTERNOON ANOTHER WEAK
DISTURBANCE DROPPING THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES COULD PRODUCE SOME
WIDELY SCATTERED TSTMS...BUT NO WIDESPREAD IMPACT IS EXPECTED.
MAINLY DRY CONDITIONS ARE THEN EXPECTED INTO THE WEEKEND WITH VFR
PREVAILING ALTHOUGH SOME HAZE MAY LIMIT VSBYS AT NIGHT AS LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE INCREASES ONCE AGAIN.

&&

.MARINE...
NO HEADLINES EXPECTED THROUGH THE PERIOD.

WINDS WILL START OUT LIGHT AND VARIBLE THEN AVERAGE SOUTHWEST
GENERALLY UNDER 10 KNOTS TODAY. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL BE A
LITTLE TIGHTER FRIDAY AS LOW PRESSURE DEEPENS OVER THE CANADIAN
MARITIMES. WINDS WILL AVERAGE WESTERLY WITH SPEEDS REACHING 15
KNOTS. THESE CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST INTO SATURDAY. WEATHERWISE IT
WILL BE GOOD MOST OF TODAY AND FRIDAY. ANY DIURNAL HEATING INDUCED
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE MAINLY OVER LAND AREAS. INCREASING HAZE WILL
BE EVIDENT DURING THE OVERNIGHT PERIODS DURING THE WEEKEND AS WE GET
INTO A WARMER MORE HUMID AIRMASS.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
PARCHED WESTERN NEW YORK CERTAINLY GOT SOME BENEFICIAL RAINS
WEDNESDAY. AMOUNTS WERE NOT EXCESSIVE...BUT A GOOD 0.25 TO 0.5 INCH FELL
OVER MUCH OF OUR DRIEST AREAS WEST OF THE GENESEE VALLEY. IT WAS
STEADY AND LIGHT AND FELL OVER SEVERAL HOURS SO IT SOAKED IN AND
REALLY HELPED THE DRIED OUT VEGETATION AND LAWNS. IT WAS THE MOST
WIDESPREAD STEADY RAIN IN NEARLY TWO MONTHS. QPF FOR THE NEXT
SEVERAL DAYS WILL BE SPOTTY AT BEST.

&&

.BUF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
NY...NONE.
MARINE...NONE.
