Special Weather Statement, NWS Buffalo, NY

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
1146 AM EDT TUE JUL 26 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
A VIGOROUS UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE OVER ONTARIO WILL DROP SOUTHEAST
ACROSS NEW YORK STATE TODAY ALONG WITH SOME MORE SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS...WITH THE MOST CONCENTRATED ACTIVITY FOUND ACROSS THE
EASTERN FINGER LAKES AND NORTH COUNTRY. FOLLOWING THE PASSAGE OF
THIS FEATURE...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES AND
BRING US A GORGEOUS MIDSUMMER DAY ON WEDNESDAY...WHEN PLENTIFUL
SUNSHINE IS EXPECTED ALONG WITH COMFORTABLE TEMPERATURES AND
HUMIDITY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 686 IN EFFECT UNTIL 7PM EST FOR
NORTHERN CAYUGA, OSWEGO, JEFFERSON AND LEWIS COUNTIES...

A POTENT SHORTWAVE THAT IS ROUNDING THE BASE OF THE UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH IS FORECAST TO DROP SOUTH ACROSS NORTHERN NEW YORK STATE AND
NEW ENGLAND THIS AFTERNOON. THE COOL POCKET THAT IS ASSOCIATED WITH
THE UPPER LOW/SHORT WAVE IS PRODUCING STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
OVER THE FINGER LAKES AREA. EXPECT A TREND TOWARD INCREASING
CONVECTION AS DAYTIME HEATING CONTINUES...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE
FINGER LAKES...THE NORTH COUNTRY AND ST LAWRENCE VALLEY WHERE THE
IMPACT FROM THE APPROACHING SHORT WAVE WILL BE GREATEST. THE
PRESENCE OF 50 KT EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR...INCREASING INSTABILITY AND
THE ADDED LIFT IN THE LFQ OF THE UPPER LEVEL JET WILL ENHANCE THE
POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THIS AREA.

OTHERWISE...GENERALLY EXPECT A PARTLY SUNNY AND FAIRLY BREEZY DAY
OUTSIDE OF ANY CONVECTION TODAY AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS IN
ADVANCE OF THE APPROACHING SHORTWAVE/COOL FRONT. 850 MB TEMPS WILL
RANGE FROM ROUGHLY +12C TO +16C...WHICH SHOULD BE SUPPORTIVE OF
FAIRLY WIDESPREAD HIGHS IN THE UPPER 70S TO THE LOWER HALF OF THE
80S.

FOLLOWING THE PASSAGE OF THE SHORTWAVE...HIGH PRESSURE WITH DRIER
AIR AND SUBSIDENCE WILL THEN BUILD ACROSS THE REGION LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. WHILE THIS SHOULD BRING A FAIRLY QUICK END TO
ANY PRECIPITATION CHANCES...THE AMOUNT OF CLOUD COVER WE CAN EXPECT
TONIGHT REMAINS A QUESTION MARK. BOTH THE 00Z NAM/GFS ARE NOW
HINTING AT ENOUGH LINGERING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE TO RESULT IN THE
REDEVELOPMENT OF A FAIR AMOUNT OF LOW CLOUDS ACROSS THE AREA
TONIGHT...AND HAVE BEEN TRENDING IN THIS DIRECTION OVER THE PAST
COUPLE OF DAYS. WHILE I AM NOT TOTALLY SOLD ON THIS YET...WILL OPT
TO KEEP SKIES AT LEAST PARTLY CLOUDY JUST IN CASE. OTHERWISE...IT
SHOULD BE A FAIRLY QUIET AND COMFORTABLE NIGHT...WITH LOWS GENERALLY
IN THE MID 50S TO LOWER 60S ALONG WITH COMFORTABLE HUMIDITY LEVELS.
GIVEN SUCH TEMPS AND LIGHT WINDS...SOME FOG WILL BE POSSIBLE LATE IN
THE SOUTHERN TIER VALLEYS...SO HAVE RETAINED THIS FROM THE PREVIOUS
FORECAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
SEASONABLY HIGH HGTS WILL BE FOUND ACROSS THE SOUTHERN TIER OF THE
U.S. DURING THIS PERIOD...WHILE A LOW AMPLITUDE FLOW WILL BE FOUND
FROM THE HIGH PLAINS AND GREAT LAKES TO THE EAST COAST. TYPICAL
SUMMER WARMTH WILL BE FOUND OVER OUR REGION AS A RESULT...ALTHOUGH
IT WILL BE MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE AT THE ONSET OF THE PERIOD AS VERY
WARM AND STICKY CONDITIONS WILL RETURN LATER IN THE WEEK. THE
DETAILS...

HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED NEAR LAKE ERIE WILL START US OFF WITH
BEAUTIFUL WEATHER ON WEDNESDAY. THE DAY WILL BE CHARACTERIZED BY
INCREASING AMOUNTS OF SUNSHINE AND COMFORTABLE WARMTH...AS A
RELATIVELY DRY AIRMASS WILL FEATURE DEW POINTS IN THE 50S (NR 60
NORTH COUNTRY). H85 TEMPS WILL BE IN THE VCNTY OF 14C...WHICH WILL
TRANSLATE INTO AFTERNOON HIGHS THAT WILL GENERALLY BE IN THE LOWER
80S. THIS SHOULD MAKE WEDNESDAY THE NICEST DAY OF THE WEEK.

THE AXIS OF THE SFC HIGH WILL MOVE TO THE EAST COAST WEDNESDAY
NIGHT...THEREBY ALLOWING WARMER AND MORE HUMID AIR TO ONCE AGAIN
ADVANCE BACK ACROSS THE REGION. THE LIFT SUPPLIED BY THE WARM
ADVECTION WILL HELP TO FILL OUR SKIES WITH ALTO-CU AS THE NIGHT
PROGRESSES...WITH JUST THE CHANCE FOR A SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM
TOWARDS DAYBREAK ACROSS THE NIAGARA FRONTIER. IT WILL BE A MILDER
NIGHT AS WELL...WITH LOWS AVERAGING AT LEAST 5 DEG F HIGHER THAN THE
PREVIOUS NIGHT.

I SHOULD MENTION THAT THE NAM DEPICTS A MUCH TIGHTER BAROCLINIC ZONE
WITHIN THE LEADING EDGE OF THE WARM ADVECTION THURSDAY MORNING THAN
DOES THE GFS OR ECMWF. THIS LOOKS SUSPICIOUS...ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE
TIME OF YEAR WHEN THE LOW LEVEL FEATURES SHOULD BE TOO WEAK TO
ESTABLISH SUCH GRADIENTS. WILL THUS DISCOUNT THE NAM AND LEAN
TOWARDS THE ECMWF AND GFS WHICH HAVE A WEAKER GRADIENT AND THEREFORE
A SLOWER AND LESS AGGRESSIVE QPF FIELD.

THE WARM ADVECTION WILL SET THE STAGE FOR WHAT COULD BE AN UNSETTLED
DAY ACROSS OUR REGION ON THURSDAY...AS A DEEPENING MOISTURE FIELD
WILL INTERACT WITH THE AVAILABLE ISENTROPIC LIFT TO PRODUCE
SCATTERED SHRA/TSRA. THE RETURN FLOW AROUND A SFC HIGH ALONG THE
EAST COAST WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR USHERING IN THE MORE HUMID
AIRMASS...BUT THE RAIN WOULD BE BENEFICIAL. FROM THIS VANTAGE
POINT...BASINWIDE QPF SHOULD AVERAGE LESS THAN A QUARTER INCH...
ALTHOUGH SOME GUIDANCE PACKAGES ARE SUGGESTING THAT AN MCS COULD
PROVIDE HEALTHIER AMOUNTS. THE HIGHEST CHANCE FOR SHRA/TSRA ACTIVITY
WILL BE FOUND OVER THE WESTERN COUNTIES...AND LESS SO ACROSS THE
NORTH COUNTRY.

THURSDAY NIGHT SHOULD BE A SULTRY NIGHT WITH WARM AND HUMID
CONDITIONS IN PLACE WITHIN A WARM SECTOR...FOUND AHEAD OF ANOTHER
WEAK COOL FRONT. MINS THURSDAY NIGHT WILL RANGE FROM THE UPPER 60S
TO LOWER 70S FOR MOST SITES. IN TERMS OF PCPN...THE VARIOUS GUIDANCE
PACKAGES ARE NOT IN SYNC WITH THE TIMING OF THE COOL FRONT. THE GFS
IS A LITTLE FASTER...SO WILL HOLD ONTO LOW CHC POPS FROM CONTINUITY.

FRIDAY WILL FEATURE THE PASSING OF A WEAK COOL FRONT AS A FAIRLY
VIGOROUS SHORTWAVE WILL CROSS EASTERN CANADA. IT WILL CERTAINLY BE A
STRETCH TO CALL THIS A COOL FRONTAL PASSAGE AS TEMPS AND DEWPOINTS
IN ITS WAKE WILL BE CLOSE TO...OR HIGHER THAN THOSE PRECEDING IT.
WHILE THE BULK OF THE DAY SHOULD BE RAIN FREE...THIS MOIST AND
UNSTABLE AIRMASS COULD EASILY SUPPORT MORE SCT SHRA/TSRA. THIS COULD
BE THE MOST SULTRY DAY OF THE FORECAST PERIOD...AS HIGHS IN THE MID
TO UPPER 80S WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY DEW POINTS CLOSE TO 70.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO AVERAGE ABOVE NORMAL DURING THIS
PERIOD WHILE THERE WILL BE LITTLE...IF ANY RAINFALL.

THERE IS STRONG MODEL CONSENSUS THAT A LOW AMPLITUDE FLOW WILL BE
FOUND ACROSS THE NORTHERN TIER OF THE COUNTRY AT THE START OF THIS
PERIOD WITH THE CORE OF A FLAT RIDGE FOUND OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS.
DURING THE LATTER PORTION OF THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...
THE CENTER OF THIS RIDGE WILL AMPLIFY OVER THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY.
THIS WILL LEAD TO SOME WEAK TROFFING OVER NEW ENGLAND AND THE ST
LAWRENCE VALLEY. WHILE OUR REGION WILL BE TOO FAR WEST TO ENJOY ANY
COOLING FROM THIS PATTERN...THE REAL OPPRESSIVE HEAT AND HUMIDITY
SHOULD BE CONFINED TO THE PLAINS AND MID WESTERN STATES.

AT THE SFC...OUR REGION WILL BE DOMINATED BY A LARGE AREA OF HIGH
PRESSURE. THIS WILL ENABLE OUR FORECAST AREA TO EXPERIENCE CLEAR TO
PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES DURING THE PERIOD.

IN TERMS OF TEMPERATURES...H85 READINGS WILL AVERAGE AROUND 16C.
WITH GENERALLY FULL SUNSHINE...THIS WILL EQUATE TO HIGHS IN THE MID
80S FOR MOST AREAS ALTHOUGH READINGS WILL BE CLOSER TO 90 IN THE
WARMER GENESEE VALLEY AND ALONG THE IAG ESCARPMENT.

LOOKING FURTHER AHEAD...MERCURY READINGS SHOULD CONTINUE TO AVERAGE
ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH AT LEAST MID WEEK AS WE WILL REMAIN ON THE EDGE
OF THE UNCOMFORTABLE MID WEST HEAT.

&&

.AVIATION /16Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
A POTENT UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE OVER CENTRAL ONTARIO WILL DROP
SOUTHEAST ACROSS NEW YORK STATE TODAY. THIS FEATURE WILL BRING
INCREASING VFR CIGS...AND EVENTUALLY A RISK OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS AS IT DROPS ACROSS WESTERN AND CENTRAL NEW YORK
ALONG WITH ITS ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT. THIS RISK OF CONVECTION WILL
BE HIGHEST ACROSS THE NORTH COUNTRY...WHICH WILL BE IN CLOSEST
PROXIMITY TO BOTH THE SHORTWAVE AND DEEPER MOISTURE/BETTER
INSTABILITY. GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTY IN TIMING ANY CONVECTION...HAVE
JUST OPTED TO CONTINUE WITH A GENERIC MENTION OF VCSH/CB IN THE
TAFS FOR NOW...WITH THE THOUGHT THAT THESE CAN BE REFINED LATER AS
RADAR TRENDS ALLOW. IN GENERAL...EXPECT CONDITIONS TO BE VFR
TODAY..THOUGH LOCAL IFR/MVFR AND GUSTY WINDS/SMALL HAIL WILL BE
POSSIBLE WITHIN ANY CONVECTION.

FOLLOWING THE PASSAGE OF THIS SHORTWAVE...HIGH PRESSURE WITH DRIER
AIR WILL THEN BUILD ACROSS THE REGION TONIGHT. WHILE THIS WILL
BRING AN END TO ANY PRECIPITATION CHANCES...THE SHORT TERM
GUIDANCE IS HINTING AT ENOUGH LINGERING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE TONIGHT
TO POSSIBLY LEAD TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF SOME MVFR CIGS. AS I AM NOT
YET TOTALLY SOLD ON THIS...WILL OPT TO JUST INDICATE SOME LOWER
VFR CIGS FOR NOW. AREAS FOG MAY ALSO DEVELOP WITHIN THE SOUTHERN
TIER VALLEYS LATE TONIGHT...BRINGING LOCALIZED IFR/MVFR
CONDITIONS.

OUTLOOK...
WEDNESDAY...VFR.
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...VFR/MVFR WITH A CHANCE OF SHRA/TSRA.
SATURDAY...VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
A VIGOROUS DISTURBANCE OVER CENTRAL ONTARIO WILL DROP SOUTHEAST
ACROSS THE LOWER LAKES TODAY...ALONG WITH ITS ATTENDANT COLD FRONT.
IN ADVANCE OF THESE FEATURES...THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL TIGHTEN
ACROSS THE LOWER LAKES...AND THIS WILL LEAD TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF
ADVISORY-CRITERIA WINDS AND WAVES AT THE EAST ENDS OF BOTH LAKES.

FOLLOWING THE PASSAGE OF THIS SYSTEM...CALMER CONDITIONS ARE THEN
EXPECTED TO RETURN FOR TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
ACROSS THE LOWER LAKES.

&&

.CLIMATE...
AS OF YESTERDAY /JULY 25TH/ THE LAKE ERIE WATER TEMPERATURE AT
BUFFALO HIT 80 DEGREES. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME LAKE ERIE HAS EVER
HIT THE 80 DEGREE MARK IN THE MONTH OF JULY IN OUR PERIOD OF
RECORD...WHICH DATES BACK TO 1927. THIS TEMPERATURE ALSO TIES THE
ALL TIME RECORD HIGH LAKE TEMPERATURE OF 80 DEGREES...WHICH WAS
SET BACK IN MID-AUGUST 1988.

&&

.BUF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
NY...NONE.
MARINE...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY UNTIL 8 PM EDT THIS EVENING FOR LEZ020-
         040-041.
