The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Buffalo, NY wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jul 27, 9:56 PM EDT, 1 hour 13 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 27, 9:56 PM EDT, 1 hour 13 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
956 PM EDT SUN JUL 27 2008
.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO MOVE EAST ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT
AND MONDAY MORNING WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS OR AN ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORM. THE FRONT WILL BE FOLLOWED BY HIGH PRESSURE MONDAY
NIGHT AND TUESDAY. ANOTHER BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO
MOVE EAST FROM THE CENTRAL LAKES LATE TUESDAY NIGHT AND BRING MORE
UNSETTLED WEATHER TO THE REGION FOR WEDNESDAY AND EARLY THURSDAY.
ANOTHER HIGH IS FORECAST TO BUILD EAST ACROSS THE AREA ON FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
MOISTURE CHANNEL IMAGERY SHOWING A SHORTWAVE STRETCHING FROM THE
OTTAWA VALLEY TO CENTRAL LAKE ONTARIO AT 0130Z...EMBEDDED WITHIN A
MORE BROAD MID LEVEL TROUGH WHICH WILL GRADUALLY DIG FROM THE
CENTRAL GREAT LAKES THIS EVENING THROUGH THE SAINT LAWRENCE VALLEY
ON MONDAY. SEVERAL MORE WEAK SHORTWAVES ARE FORECAST BY MODEL
GUIDANCE TO ROTATE ACROSS NORTHERN SECTIONS OF THE REGION THROUGH
MONDAY. WIDELY SCATTERED CONVECTION CONTINUES TO SLOWLY INCREASE
FROM LAKE ONTARIO THROUGH THE SAINT LAWRENCE VALLEY WITHIN THE
REGION OF LARGE SCALE FORCING FOR ASCENT AND LOW/MID LEVEL
CONVERGENCE ASSOCIATED WITH THE SHORTWAVE AND ATTENDANT 40+KNOT
700MB SPEED MAX.
A FEW OF THESE STORMS...INCLUDING ONE IN NORTHERN CAYUGA/SW OSWEGO
COUNTIES AND THE STORM OVER LAKE ONTARIO OFFSHORE OF ROCHESTER HAVE
COME VERY CLOSE TO BECOMING SEVERE. SPC OBJECTIVE RUC ANALYSIS
SUGGESTING A RATHER MARGINAL THERMODYNAMIC ENVIRONMENT IN PLACE WITH
SBCAPE OF 500-1000J/KG. WITH NOCTURNAL COOLING NOW UNDERWAY THE
BOUNDARY LAYER WILL CONTINUE TO STABILIZE AND EXPECT UPDRAFT
INTENSITY TO BEGIN TO WEAKEN SOMEWHAT OVER THE NEXT HOUR OR
TWO...AND EFFECTIVE STORM INFLOW PARCELS ARE LIKELY TO BECOME
ELEVATED OFF THE SURFACE AS BOUNDARY LAYER CONTINUES TO STABILIZE
THIS EVENING. 0-6KM SHEAR IS ALSO RATHER WEAK WITH THE STRONGER
WESTERLIES DISPLACED NORTH OF THE US/CANADIAN BORDER. THIS SHOULD
PREVENT ANY ORGANIZED SEVERE WEATHER...ALTHOUGH CURRENT STRONG
STORMS WILL BE MONITORED CLOSELY.
00Z SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWING A WEAK SECONDARY COLD FRONT EXTENDING
FROM EASTERN GEORGIAN BAY TO NEAR WINDSOR ONTARIO. SHORT TERM MODEL
GUIDANCE SHOWS THIS FEATURE PUSHING EAST ACROSS THE LOWER GREAT
LAKES LATE TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY MORNING. AS THIS FRONT AND THE
AFOREMENTIONED MID LEVEL TROUGH CROSS THE REGION...EXPECT MORE
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP. HAVE
CONTINUED WITH SAME BASIC IDEA IN THE GRIDS/ZFP...WITH THE GREATEST
CHANCES ACROSS NORTHERN SECTIONS FROM THE SOUTH SHORE OF LAKE
ONTARIO INTO THE SAINT LAWRENCE VALLEY CLOSER TO THE STRONGER MID
LEVEL HEIGHT FALLS. THE LOWEST CHANCE OF RAIN WILL BE FOUND ALONG
THE NY/PA STATE LINE.
&&
.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL FOLLOW THE PASSAGE OF THE FRONT WITH DRY AND
CLEAR SKIES LATE MONDAY NIGHT AND FOR MUCH OF TUESDAY. MONDAY NIGHT
WILL BE RATHER COOL AS DRIER AIR SPREADS ACROSS THE REGION...THE
LOWS WILL FALL TO THE 50S WITH LOW 50S OVER THE SOUTHERN TIER AND
THE VALLEYS NEAR THE FINGER LAKES. TUESDAY WILL HAVE ABUNDANT
SUNSHINE AND HIGH TEMPS WILL REBOUND TO THE LOW 80S.
&&
.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE MOVES EAST FROM THE CENTRAL LAKES AND BRINGS
A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS LATE TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH
WEDNESDAY. I WENT WITH THE PLACEMENT AND TIMING OF THE PRECIP BASED
MORE ON MEX AND SREF THAN USING THE GMOS POPS AND QPF...IT LOOKED
MORE REALISTIC TO HAVE MORE QPF DURING WED AFTERNOON WHEN IT
INTERCEPTS MORE WARMTH DURING THE DAY. A SECOND WAVE MOVES ALONG THE
WEST TO EAST EXTENSION OF THE FRONT ON THURSDAY MORNING WHICH WILL
KEEP CHANCE POPS OVER THE SOUTHERN TIER TO THE EASTERN LAKE ONTARIO
REGION...THEN RIDGING ALOFT DEVELOPS BY FRIDAY MORNING. FRIDAY
THROUGH SATURDAY, DRIER AIR SPREADS INTO THE REGION. MAX AND MIN
TEMPS THROUGH THIS PERIOD WILL BE VERY CLOSE TO SEASONAL AVERAGES
WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 70S TO LOW 80S AND LOWS FROM THE MID 50S TO
LOW TO MIDDLE 60S. GFS DEVELOPS A DEEPENING UPPER LOW OVER THE
CENTRAL GREAT LAKES ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT WITH A SURFACE
LOW LIFTING FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA.
THE GFS QPF IS WAY OVERDONE AT 06Z TO 12Z SUNDAY MORNING AND MAKES
THIS 12Z GFS RUN A LITTLE SUSPECT...BUT WILL STILL GO WITH AT LEAST
A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ON SUNDAY.
&&
.AVIATION /02Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL FOR THE 00Z TAF CYCLE...ALTHOUGH THERE
WILL BE A FEW SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH
MUCH OF THE PERIOD. A MID LEVEL TROUGH WILL CONTINUE TO DIG FROM THE
GREAT LAKES TO THE SAINT LAWRENCE VALLEY THROUGH MONDAY WITH SEVERAL
EMBEDDED SHORTWAVES TRAVERSING THE AREA. A WEAK SECONDARY SURFACE
COLD FRONT...NOW ANALYZED FROM GEORGIAN BAY TO NEAR LAKE SAINT CLAIR
WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH SLOWLY EAST ACROSS THE LOWER GREAT LAKES
THROUGH MONDAY MORNING. THIS WEAK SURFACE FRONT COMBINED WITH THE
MID LEVEL SHORTWAVES WILL PROVIDE ENOUGH CONVERGENCE AND FORCING FOR
ASCENT TO PRODUCE A FEW SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
ACROSS THE AREA. TIMING WILL BE DIFFICULT...BUT BEST ESTIMATE AT
THIS TIME IS FOR ACTIVITY TO CROSS THE SAINT LAWRENCE VALLEY THIS
EVENING...THEN BEST CHANCES ACROSS THE NIAGARA FRONTIER INCLUDING
KBUF-KIAG-KROC WILL BE SEVERAL HOURS CENTERED ON 12Z. ADDED MOISTURE
AND INSTABILITY FROM LAKE ERIE MONDAY MORNING MAY AID CONVECTIVE
DEVELOPMENT. OTHERWISE EXPECT PERIODS OF MAINLY MID LEVEL CLOUDS TO
CROSS THE REGION.
GIVEN THE HIGH DEGREE OF UNCERTAINTY WITH RESPECT TO TIMING AND
PLACEMENT OF CONVECTION...WILL JUST USE VCSH QUALIFIERS FOR NOW WITH
LITTLE IN THE WAY OF CONFIDENCE TO INCLUDE A CIG/VSBY RESTRICTION.
WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR RADAR/OBSERVATIONAL TRENDS AND AMEND AS
NECESSARY.
