AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
1248 PM EDT WED JUL 21 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
A NEARLY STATIONARY FRONTAL BOUNDARY STRETCHING FROM THE OHIO VALLEY
INTO THE MID ATLANTIC WILL REMAIN IN PLACE AND KEEP A CHANCE OF A
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH TONIGHT. AN AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE
WILL BRING A DRY AND MOSTLY SUNNY THURSDAY BEFORE THE NEXT CHANCE OF
RAIN ARRIVES BY THE END OF THE WEEK AS A WARM FRONT APPROACHES THE
REGION FRIDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
MESOSCALE UPDATE...

SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO BLOSSOM ACROSS THE AREA EARLY
THIS AFTERNOON. IN THE NEAR TERM...EXPECT MOST OF THE DEVELOPMENT TO
FOCUS IN THE FINGER LAKES AND CENTRAL NY ALONG AN OLD
OUTFLOW/DIFFERENTIAL HEATING BOUNDARY FROM MORNING SHOWERS AND
STORMS. ALSO EXPECT CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE NORTHERN LAKE
ERIE LAKE BREEZE FROM NIAGARA THROUGH MONROE COUNTIES. LATER THIS
AFTERNOON ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT ACROSS SOUTHERN ONTARIO PROVINCE
SHOULD QUICKLY GROW UPSCALE INTO CLUSTERS OF STORMS OR BOWING LINE
SEGMENTS GIVEN FAVORABLE WIND PROFILES AND INSTABILITY...AND
INCREASING LARGE SCALE FORCING AS A MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE AND SURFACE
FRONT APPROACH THE LOWER LAKES.

LOOKING AT THE SEVERE WEATHER PARAMETERS...SURFACE TEMPS ARE
CLIMBING INTO THE UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S WITH SURFACE DEWPOINTS
RISING TO AROUND 70F. THIS IS COMBINING WITH FAVORABLY COOL MID
LEVEL TEMPS TO ALLOW THE AIRMASS TO BECOMING MODERATELY UNSTABLE
WITH SBCAPES APPROACHING 2000J/KG IN AREAS WHERE SOME BREAKS OF SUN
HAVE DEVELOPED. AT THE SAME TIME...A STRONG MID/UPPER LEVEL JET
STREAK CONTINUES TO PROPAGATE OVER THE AREA...PRODUCING VERY
FAVORABLE DEEP LAYER 0-6KM SHEAR OF 50-55 KNOTS. THE FAVORABLE
JUXTAPOSITION OF INSTABILITY AND SHEAR WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT
RAPID STORM ORGANIZATION IN THE MORE VIGOROUS UPDRAFTS THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING.

THE CRAVEN/BROOKS SIGNIFICANT PARAMETER CONTINUES TO CLIMB...AGAIN
INDICATIVE OF THE FAVORABLE INSTABILITY/SHEAR PROFILES. THE
ENVIRONMENT DOES SUPPORT SUPERCELLS WITH MID LEVEL MESOCYCLONES AS
RECENTLY SEEN OVER WAYNE COUNTY. THAT SAID...RELATIVELY
UNIDIRECTIONAL FLOW FIELD AND WEAK LOW LEVEL 0-1KM SHEAR WILL KEEP
THE TORNADO RISK LOW...AND 0-1KM VGP ALSO IS QUITE LOW. SUPERCELL
STRUCTURES WITH ROTATION APPEAR MORE LIKELY TO PRODUCE LARGE HAIL
AND SWATHS OF WIND DAMAGE. ALSO MAY EVENTUALLY SEE STORMS ORGANIZE
INTO SHORT LINE SEGMENTS DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING
AS CONVECTION BECOMES MORE WIDESPREAD AND COMPOSITE OUTFLOW/COLD
POOL PROCESSES TAKE OVER AS THE MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE APPROACHES.
THESE LINE SEGMENTS WOULD BE CAPABLE OF AN ORGANIZED DAMAGING WIND
RISK AS WELL.

ALL OF THIS WILL QUICKLY END DURING THE MID EVENING AS A SURFACE
COLD FRONT SWEEPS EAST ACROSS THE AREA AND SCOURS OUT DEEPER
MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
THIS PERIOD WILL START WITH A BREAK IN THE UNSETTLED WX REGIME AS A
FAIRLY STRONG RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES DOWN ACROSS ONTARIO AND
THE EASTERN LAKES AND PROVIDES A FINE DAY ON THURSDAY. THERE STILL
BE BE REMNANTS OF A TROF AND SHORT WAVE SLIDING SE ACROSS ST LAWR
VALLEY IN THE MORNING...SO WILL MAINTAIN SLGT CHC POPS UP
THERE...OTHERWISE PLENTY OF SUNSHINE WITH 850 MB TEMPS OF 14C
SUPPORTING SEASONABLE LOWER 80S IN THIS NORMALLY WARMEST TIME OF THE
YEAR.

THEN...PATTERN WILL BECOME QUITE ACTIVE WITH SOME HYDRO AND SEVERE
WX CONCERNS ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY RESPECTIVELY.

OVERALL...MODELS NOW IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT IN PUSHING A WARM
FRONT ACROSS THE REGION DURING FRIDAY...THEN SETTLING A WEST-EAST
FRONT JUST TO OUR NORTH FRI NT AND MUCH OF SATURDAY BEFORE A SHARP
TROF DRAGS A COLD FRONT ACROSS THE REGION SAT NT.

WILL BUMP UP TIME A FEW HOURS AND BRING CHC POPS INTO FAR WEST AFTER
09Z FRI...AND HIGH CHC/LOW LIKELY POPS FOR WARM FRONTAL
SHOWERS/TSTMS DURING FRIDAY. TOUGH TO GET SPECIFIC YET...DEPENDING
ON POSITION OF FRONT...BUT IT DOES APPEAR BEST SHOT OF QPF WILL BE
MORNING/MIDDAY WEST AND MIDDAY/AFTERNOON EAST...WITH HIGHER AMTS
CLOSER TO LK ONTARIO AND LOWER SRN TIER. PW'S RISE RAPIDLY TO NEAR 2
INCHES SO COPIOUS QPF IS POSSIBLE WITH THE WARM FRONT. THIS BEING
SAID...IT MAY BECOME DRY WINDY AND HUMID OVER MUCH OF THE REGION BY
LATE AFTERNOON/EVENING FRI.

AREA WILL BE IN WARM SECTOR FRI NT WITH DEW PTS RISING TO 70 AND
TEMPS HOLDING WELL UP IN THE 70S IN THE TROPICAL AIRMASS.
AGAIN...ASSUMING FRONT LIES JUST TO OUR NORTH...ANY PRECIP WILL BE
SCATTERED WITH HIGHER POPS FURTHER NORTH.

SATURDAY COULD BE A QUITE INTERESTING DAY. IT NOW APPEARS THAT THE
STALLED FRONT WILL STAY JUST TO OUR NORTH DURING THE DAY...WHILE A
WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE RUNS ALONG IT AND THEN DRAGS A COLD FRONT DOWN
SAT EVE/NT. IF THIS PANS OUT...OUR REGION WILL BE IN A SOUPY
TROPICAL AIRMASS PER GFS WITH 850 MB TEMPS IN 20-22C
RANGE...SUPPORTING U80S/L90S WITH ANY CLEARING AT ALL. WILL TEMPER
THIS A BIT THIS FAR OUT BUT IT COULD BE QUITE STEAMY. PW'S RISE TO
2.5 INCHES...ALMOST UNHEARD OF HERE...BUT WE MAY LACK A TRIGGER AT
FIRST AS IT WILL BE WARM ALOFT TOO. HOWEVER...AS FRONT APPROACHES
LATER IN THE DAY...CONVECTION WILL POP AND SEVERE WX QUITE POSSIBLE.
ONE CAVEAT...IF FRONT STALLS A BIT FURTHER SOUTH...LIKE RIGHT OVER
OUR CWA...THERE WOULD BE LESS THREAT FOR SEVERE BUT INCREASED THREAT
FOR FLOODING AS STORMS WOULD TEND TO "TRAIN". THIS SCENARIO IS LESS
LIKELY BUT STILL POSSIBLE. STAY TUNED. FOR NOW WILL GO WITH HIGH CHC
POPS ON SATURDAY ALL AREAS...AND CONTINUE SAT NT...GRADUALLY
TAPERING OFF LATE FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
THIS PERIOD CONTINUES TO LOOK SOLID WITH GOOD MODEL CONSENSUS IN
BUILDING A LARGE RIDGE OVER THE LOWER LAKES. ONLY QUESTION WOULD BE
HOW FAST WE CLEAR OUT ON SUNDAY...EC AND OLDER HPC GRAPHICS A BIT
SLOWER SO MAINTAINED CHC POPS SOUTH AND EAST SUNDAY MORNING...
OTHERWISE IMPROVEMENT DURING THE DAY. GFS IS SHARPER WITH UPPER TROF
OVER EASTERN CANADA AND ASSOCIATED COOL DOWN WITH 850 MB TEMPS DOWN
TO 10-12C SO OUR 80 DEG STREAK MAY BE IN JEOPARDY THEN.

MON AND TUES LOOK LIKE SUMMER BEAUTIES WITH SUNSHINE AND SEASONABLE
TEMPS...NR 80 MONDAY...L-M 80S TUES.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND
EARLY EVENING. ANY THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING BRIEF
IFR CONDITIONS ALONG WITH LARGE HAIL...STRONG WINDS AND LOCALLY
EXTREME TURBULENCE. VERY DIFFICULT TO TIME THIS ACTIVITY GIVEN
SEVERAL ROUNDS OF SCATTERED STORMS EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT 6-10
HOURS. EXPECT ONE ROUND TO MOVE THROUGH THE KROC AREA THROUGH EARLY
AFTERNOON...THEN ALL SITES HAVE THE BEST CHANCES OF CONVECTION
DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS A COLD FRONT AND MID LEVEL
DISTURBANCE APPROACH AND POTENTIALLY PROVIDES SOME MORE WIDESPREAD
ORGANIZATION TO STORMS.

BY MID EVENING A COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE AREA AND BRING AN
END TO SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AS A MORE STABLE AIRMASS ARRIVES.
AFTER THAT...MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED LATER TONIGHT
ALTHOUGH THERE MAY BE A LITTLE VALLEY FOG ACROSS THE SOUTHERN TIER
LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY THURSDAY.

OUTLOOK...
THURSDAY...VFR.
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...VFR/MVFR WITH OCCASIONAL ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS.
SUNDAY AND MONDAY...MAINLY VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
WINDS AND WAVES WILL REMAIN BELOW SMALL CRAFT CRITERIA...BUT IT
COULD BECOME QUITE CHOPPY ON NORTHEASTERN LAKE ERIE WITH SOUTHWEST
WINDS FRESHENING AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT. FOLLOWING THE COLD FRONT
THIS EVENING...WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST. THIS MAY BRING A
PERIOD OF SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS TO THE SOUTHEAST SHORE OF
LAKE ONTARIO FROM ABOUT ROCHESTER OVER TO MEXICO BAY ON THURSDAY
FROM MID MORNING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. WINDS AND WAVES WILL
DIMINISH ON THURSDAY EVENING AND NIGHT AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER
THE LOWER LAKES.
