AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
132 AM EDT THU AUG 25 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
WARM AND INCREASING HUMIDITY THIS EVENING WILL GIVE WAY TO SHOWERS
AND LOCALLY HEAVY THUNDERSTORMS THAT WILL CROSS THE REGION FROM WEST
TO EAST TONIGHT. A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION THURSDAY AND
THIS BOUNDARY WILL END THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FROM WEST TO
EAST THOUGH A SECONDARY TROUGH WILL BRING THE THREAT OF AFTERNOON
SHOWERS ACROSS PORTIONS OF WESTERN NEW YORK. DRYING OUT THURSDAY
NIGHT WITH A RETURN TO PLEASANT CONDITIONS FRIDAY AND INTO THE START
OF THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
THROUGH MIDNIGHT...A LINE OF STRONG STORMS HAS BROKEN...WITH ONE
STRONG SEGMENT TRACKING ACROSS NORTHERN PORTIONS OF LAKE
ONTARIO...AND THE OTHER TOWARD THE SOUTHERN TIER. THIS
SIGNIFICANTLY DIMINISHES THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT IN THE
BUFFALO/ROCHESTER METRO AREAS ALLOWING THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM
WATCH TO BE CANCELLED. A THREAT STILL REMAINS IN THE SOUTHERN
TIER...WHERE STORMS ARE APPROACHING. STORMS ACROSS NORTHERN LAKE
ONTARIO WILL BE MONITORED.

ON THURSDAY COLD FRONT WILL BE CUTTING ACROSS WNY WITH SHOWERS AND
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS AHEAD OF IT. WILL GO WITH A DRY START WITH
SOME SUNSHINE ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE NIAGARA FRONTIER TO START THE
DAY THURSDAY...WITH THE REMAINDER OF THE REGION STILL UNDER
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS.

LATER IN THE DAY AS THE FINAL PIECE OF THE UPPER LEVEL SHORT PASSES
ACROSS THE REGION AND SECONDARY TROUGH...EXPECT SHOWERS TO AGAIN
BLOSSOM AND CLOUDS INCREASE IN THE AFTERNOON AND PASS NW TO SE
ACROSS THE REGION. TEMPERATURES THURSDAY WILL WARM INTO THE UPPER
70S WITH A FEW 80S ACROSS THE REGION.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
THURSDAY EVENING THE MAIN MID LEVEL TROUGH WILL BE IN THE PROCESS OF
SHIFTING FROM THE LOWER LAKES EAST INTO NEW ENGLAND. LARGE SCALE
FORCING IN THE DPVA REGIME JUST AHEAD OF THE TROUGH COMBINED WITH
THE PASSAGE OF A WEAK SECONDARY SURFACE TROUGH MAY CONTINUE TO TOUCH
OFF A FEW MORE SCATTERED SHOWERS FROM THE GENESEE VALLEY EAST ACROSS
CENTRAL AND NORTHERN NY. THESE WILL QUICKLY END FROM WEST TO EAST
DURING THE EVENING AS THE TROUGH SHIFTS EAST INTO NEW ENGLAND.

ON FRIDAY HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE LOWER LAKES WITH A
RETURN TO DRY WEATHER AND PLENTY OF SUNSHINE. 850MB TEMPS STILL UP
AROUND +14C SHOULD STILL SUPPORT HIGHS CLOSE TO AVERAGE WITH HIGHS
IN THE MID TO UPPER 70S IN MOST AREAS. THE RIDGE REMAINS IN PLACE
FRIDAY NIGHT WITH MAINLY CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS ALLOWING FOR
GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING WITH LOWS DROPPING INTO THE UPPER 50S ON
THE LAKE PLAINS AND LOWER 50S ACROSS THE COOLER SPOTS OF THE
SOUTHERN TIER AND EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO.

LATE SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT A VERY WEAK TROUGH WILL APPROACH
WESTERN NY ALONG WITH A VERY SUBTLE SURFACE REFLECTION. ALL OF THE
LARGE SCALE FORCING FOR ASCENT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FEATURE WILL
SHEAR OUT WELL NORTH ACROSS NORTHERN ONTARIO AND QUEBEC...WITH NO
SUPPORT LEFT FOR THE TRAILING LOW LEVEL BOUNDARY WHICH WILL ALSO BE
MOISTURE STARVED. IN ADDITION...THE BOUNDARY WILL START TO RUN INTO
THE UPPER LEVEL OUTFLOW OF HURRICANE IRENE SATURDAY NIGHT. THE LARGE
SCALE SUBSIDENCE BENEATH THE UPPER LEVEL OUTFLOW WILL ALSO AID IN
WASHING OUT THE WEAK BOUNDARY. WITH THIS IN MIND...WILL CONTINUE
WITH A DRY FORECAST FOR LATE SATURDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT WITH
JUST A MODEST INCREASE IN CLOUD COVER ACROSS WESTERN NY.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
VERY QUIET WEATHER WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE LONG TERM WITH AN
EXTENDED PERIOD OF DRY WEATHER. HURRICANE IRENE WILL BE MOVING NORTH
ALONG THE EASTERN SEABOARD ON SUNDAY...BUT WILL BE MUCH TOO FAR EAST
TO HAVE ANY DIRECT IMPACT ON OUR CWA. MEDIUM RANGE MODEL GUIDANCE
OVER THE PAST 48 HOURS HAS SLOWLY AND STEADILY SHIFTED THE FORECAST
TRACK SLIGHTLY EASTWARD...AND WITH THIS IN MIND HAVE CONTINUED TO
TRIM BACK POPS FOR SUNDAY WITH JUST A LOW CHANCE LEFT IN THE EXTREME
EASTERN END OF THE CWA IN LEWIS COUNTY FOR SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT.
THE ECMWF CONTINUES TO BE ON THE EXTREME LEFT/WEST SIDE OF THE
GUIDANCE ENVELOPE AND WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED AT THIS TIME. EXPECT
HIGH CIRRUS ASSOCIATED WITH THE OUTFLOW OF IRENE TO PASS OVER
CENTRAL NY POSSIBLY AS FAR WEST AS THE FINGER LAKES AND GENESEE
VALLEY ON SUNDAY...WITH THE WESTERN END OF THE STATE SEEING PLENTY
OF SUNSHINE. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN IRENE AND HIGH PRESSURE
OVER THE UPPER MIDWEST WILL GENERATE A MODERATE NORTHERLY BREEZE ON
SUNDAY...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE SOUTH SHORE OF LAKE ONTARIO.

IRENE WILL UNDERGO EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION ON MONDAY AS SHE
ACCELERATES INTO ATLANTIC CANADA AND BEGINS TO INTERACT WITH A MID
LATITUDE TROUGH APPROACHING EASTERN CANADA. THIS WILL ALLOW COOLER
AIR TO BE DRAWN DOWN INTO THE AREA...WITH HIGHS A TOUCH BELOW
AVERAGE IN THE LOWER HALF OF THE 70S.

TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY THE TROUGH WILL SLOWLY LIFT OUT AND GIVE WAY
TO ZONAL FLOW ACROSS MUCH OF THE CONUS. THE LATEST 12Z GFS AND ALL
OF THE 00Z AND 12Z GEFS ENSEMBLE MEMBERS SUPPORT TUESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY REMAINING DRY. THE 12Z ECMWF SEEMS TO BE AN OUTLIER IN
DIGGING AN UPPER LOW INTO THE OHIO VALLEY WEDNESDAY AND WILL
DISCOUNT THIS SOLUTION FOR NOW.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
A LARGE AREA OF RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH SLOWLY
EAST ACROSS THE REGION FROM 06Z-10Z WITH WIDESPREAD THUNDER AND
AREAS OF MVFR. EXPECT THIS ACTIVITY TO END FROM WEST TO EAST JUST
BEFORE DAYBREAK AS INSTABILITY WANES AND WHATEVER IS LEFT OF THE
CONVECTION MOVES EAST OF THE AREA. STILL COULD SEE A FEW ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED SHOWERS DURING THE MORNING UNTIL THE SURFACE COLD FRONT
PASSES BY THE REGION.

FOLLOWING THE COLD FRONT...A DRY SLOT WILL ALLOW SKIES TO OPEN UP TO
VFR FOR MUCH OF THE LATE MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON. LATER THIS
AFTERNOON ANOTHER SECONDARY TROUGH WILL BRING AN INCREASE IN CLOUD
COVER ONCE AGAIN...ALTHOUGH EXPECT MOST OF THIS TO BE VFR. SCATTERED
SHOWERS MAY DEVELOP ALONG THIS SECONDARY TROUGH...AND CROSS WESTERN
NY DURING THE MID AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY EVENING...AND A FEW HOURS
LATER IN CENTRAL AND NORTHERN NY. EXPECT THE COVERAGE OF THIS
ACTIVITY TO BE RATHER SPARSE...SO WILL JUST USE A VCSH QUALIFIER FOR
NOW.

OUTLOOK...
THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT...MAINLY VFR OUTSIDE OF
TYPICAL LATE NIGHT EARLY MORNING VALLEY FOG.
SUNDAY...VFR IN WESTERN NY WITH POSSIBLE RAIN AND MVFR IN CENTRAL NY.
MONDAY...VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
WILL CONTINUE WITH SCA ACROSS THE REGION TONIGHT. THOUGH CENTRAL
LAKE ONTARIO STILL REMAINS BELOW SCA THIS LATE AFTERNOON...EXPECT
CONDITIONS TO BE MEET WITH WINDS EXCEEDING 18 KNOTS ON BOTH THE
LAKES...AND NIAGARA RIVER.

WINDS WILL SUBSIDE AND VEER TO MORE WESTERLY...WITH WAVES
DIMINISHING THURSDAY BEHIND A COLD FRONT. WITH A NORTHWEST WIND
LATER THURSDAY A SCA MAY BE NEEDED FOR THE SOUTHEASTERN SHORELINE OF
LAKE ONTARIO...AND POSSIBLE LAKE ERIE.

&&

.BUF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
NY...NONE.
MARINE...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY UNTIL 4 AM EDT EARLY THIS MORNING FOR
         LEZ020-040-041.
