AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
203 AM EDT THU APR 18 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED ACROSS CENTRAL ONTARIO WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS
QUEBEC TONIGHT AND ALLOW AN INCREASE IN CLOUDS AND A SHIFT IN THE
WINDS FROM EAST TO SOUTH. EXPECT MUCH WARMER AIR TO SURGE BACK INTO
THE REGION ON THURSDAY BEFORE A STRONG COLD FRONT CROSSES THE REGION
ON FRIDAY WITH GUSTY THUNDERSTORMS FOLLOWED BY MUCH COLDER AIR FOR
THE WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER JAMES BAY WILL MOVE TO THE EAST AND
REACH EASTERN QUEBEC BY THURSDAY MORNING. AS THE HIGH SHIFTS TO THE
EAST TONIGHT...STRENGTHENING WARM AIR ADVECTION WILL CAUSE A WEST TO
INCREASE IN CLOUDS OVERNIGHT. AREA RADARS SHOW SHOWERS AND SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS HEADING EAST TOWARD THE NIAGARA PENINSULA. THESE
SHOWERS AND ELEVATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE FORMING ALONG THE LEADING
EDGE OF A TIGHT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE GRADIENT. WHILE THESE SHOWERS
WILL LIKELY WEAKEN AS THEY ENCOUNTER MUCH DRIER AND MORE STABLE AIR
OVER WESTERN NEW YORK...FEEL THAT THE ONGOING MOISTURE ADVECTION
WILL OVERCOME THE INITIALLY DRY AIR MASS AND ALLOW SOME OF THE
SHOWERS TO HOLD TOGETHER AS THEY MOVE INTO THE NIAGARA FRONTIER OF
WESTERN NEW YORK AFTER MIDNIGHT. BECAUSE THE SHOWERS WILL BE MOVING
INTO MORE STABLE AIR...DO NOT PLAN TO MENTION ANY THUNDERSTORMS AT
THIS TIME.

AFTER THE RIDGE SHIFTS TO THE EAST...WINDS WILL VEER FROM EAST TO
SOUTH OVERNIGHT AND PICK UP ON THURSDAY. AS THE CORE OF THE LOW
LEVEL JET GETS CLOSER ON THURSDAY...WINDS COULD GET RATHER
GUSTY...BUT THE STRONGEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN ALOFT WITH
ONGOING WARM AIR ADVECTION. IN RESPONSE TO THE INCREASING SOUTHERLY
WINDS AND SOME SUNSHINE...AREA TEMPERATURES WILL WARM INTO THE
UPPER 60S ACROSS CENTRAL AND NORTHERN NEW YORK...AND MID TO UPPER
70S IN THE WEST. NOT ONLY WILL WARMER AIR BE ADVECTED INTO THE
AREA...THE SOUTHERLY WINDS CREATE DOWNSLOPING AND ADIABATIC
WARMING...THUS TEMPS WILL BE A COUPLE OF DEGREES OVER GUIDANCE.

A LOW LEVEL JET DEVELOPS AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT. THIS
JET WILL PUSH MOISTURE AND WARMTH ACROSS THE REGION DURING THE
AFTERNOON ON THURSDAY...WITH HIGHER WIND GUSTS IN THE REGIONS OF
DOWNSLOPING ESPECIALLY ALONG THE CHAUTAUQUA RIDGE TO THE LAKE ERIE
SHORE. ALTHOUGH THERE MAY BE A RISK OF THUNDERSTORMS ALONG THE
LEADING EDGE OF THE 850MB JET...EXPECT THE MID LEVEL AND  UPPER
SUPPORT FOR THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT TO BE FARTHER TO THE WEST AND
OUTSIDE OF THE FORECAST AREA DURING THE DAY ON THURSDAY. THE FRONT
WILL LINGER TO THE WEST AS WELL AND SHOULD RESULT IN THE PARTIALLY
SUNNY...BREEZY TO GUSTY AND WARM SPRING DAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
THURSDAY NIGHT WILL BE WARM AND BREEZY ACROSS WESTERN AND NORTH
CENTRAL NEW YORK AS THE AREA WILL BE FIRMLY SITUATED IN THE WARM
SECTOR OF POTENT STORM SYSTEM THAT WILL BE TRACKING OUT OF THE
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY INTO THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES. ALTHOUGH A LOW
LEVEL INVERSION SHOULD SHIELD MOST AREAS...WITH THE EXCEPTION OF
HILLTOPS AND DOWNSLOPE AREAS NEAR LAKE ERIE...FROM THE STRONGEST
WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH A 50+KT LOW LEVEL JET...A TIGHT SURFACE
PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN HIGH PRESSURE OFF THE EAST COAST AND THE
APPROACHING LOW WILL KEEP WINDS OF 20 TO 30 MPH IN PLAY ACROSS MUCH
OF THE AREA. GUSTS ACROSS THE AFOREMENTIONED HILLTOPS AND ALONG LAKE
ERIE COULD APPROACH WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA...PARTICULARLY ON FRIDAY
AS DAYTIME MIXING MAY ENHANCE WIND GUSTS.

THE MAIN STORY ON FRIDAY CONTINUES TO BE THE SHARP COLD FRONTAL
BOUNDARY THAT WEILL MARCH ACROSS THE REGION DURING THE AFTERNOON
HOURS. STABILITY INDICIES CONTINUE TO BE RATHER
UNIMPRESSIVE...HOWEVER DYNAMICS ALOFT CONTINUE TO BE VERY
IMPRESSIVE...AND THIS COUPLED WITH VERY STRONG FRONTAL FORCING AT
THE SURFACE SHOULD BE ABLE TO OVERCOME THE LACK OF INSTABILITY TO
PRODUCE WHAT WILL LIKELY BE A NARROW LINE OF CONVECTION ORIENTED
ALONG THE COLD FRONT ITSELF. GIVEN THE VERY STRONG WIND FIELDS
ALOFT...THE MAIN THREAT AS THIS LINE MOVES ACROSS WESTERN AND
CENTRAL NEW YORK DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS WILL
CONTINUE TO BE DAMAGING WIND GUSTS.

BEHIND THE FRONT...LOOK FOR A SHARP DROP IN TEMPERATURES AS THE
REGION PLUNGES FROM HIGHS IN THE UPPER 60S AND LOWER 70S EARLY
FRIDAY AFTERNOON TO THE 30S FRIDAY NIGHT. A SHARP DRY SLOT BEHIND
THE FRONT WILL KEEP POPS LIMITED TO JUST A SLIGHT CHANCE FRIDAY
EVENING BEFORE THE MAIN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH CROSSES THE AREA LATER
FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY MORNING BRINGING LIMITED WRAPAROUND
MOISTURE ALONG WITH COLDER AIR THAT MAY ALLOW A FEW LAKE ENHANCED
RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS TO DEVELOP ALONG UPSLOPE AREAS DOWNSTREAM OF THE
LAKES.

SHOWERS SHOULD TAPER OFF AND SKIES SHOULD GRADUALLY CLEAR SATURDAY
AS THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH RAPIDLY TRACKS OFF TO THE EAST AND HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS ACROSS THE LOWER GREAT LAKES. THE COLD AIR IN PLACE
WILL KEEP READINGS CHILLY THOUGH WITH HIGHS ONLY IN THE
40S...EXACERBATED BY CONTINUED BREEZY WESTERLY WINDS THAT WILL
PERSIST UNTIL THE HIGH MOVES OVERHEAD SATURDAY NIGHT. AS THIS
HAPPENS AND WINDS DROP OFF..EXPECT FAVORABLE CONDITIONS FOR
RADIATIONAL COOLING THAT WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA TO DROP INTO THE 20S.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
SEASONABLY COOL BUT FAIR WEATHER WILL PREVAIL FOR THE LATTER HALF OF
THE WEEKEND AS AN EXPANSIVE DOME OF HIGH PRESSURE PUSHES ACROSS THE
GREAT LAKES AND ACROSS THE NORTHEASTERN U.S. THIS HIGH WILL
CONTINUE TO MOVE NORTHEAST INTO ATLANTIC CANADA MONDAY INTO
TUESDAY...ONCE AGAIN SETTING UP A SOUTHERLY RETURN FLOW ACROSS THE
EASTERN HALF OF THE COUNTRY AND ALLOWING FOR TEMPERATURES ACROSS
WESTERN NEW YORK TO REBOUND BACK INTO THE 60S MONDAY. 12Z MODEL
SOLUTIONS DIVERGE CONSIDERABLY AFTER MONDAY HOWEVER DUE TO
DIFFERENCES IN THE HANDLING OF SHORTWAVE ENERGY DIVING OUT OF THE
PACIFIC NORTHWEST INTO THE ROCKIES WITH SIGNIFICANT IMPLICATIONS
DOWNSTREAM RESULTING IN LITTLE CONFIDENCE IN THE DETAILS AT THIS
TIME. THE GENERAL IDEA HOWEVER IS THAT WE WILL CONTINUE TO SEE AN
ACTIVE AND UNSETTLED WEATHER REGIME ACROSS THE LOWER GREAT LAKES
WITH THE ATTENDANT TEMPERATURE SWINGS AT LEAST INTO THE MIDDLE OF
NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
VFR FLIGHT CONDITIONS AT 06Z WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE TAF CYCLE. A
FEW SHOWERS WELL AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT MAY BRUSH BY THE NORTHERN
NIAGARA FRONTIER THIS MORNING...AND CARRY THROUGH THE EASTERN LAKE
ONTARIO REGION THROUGH THE MID AND LATE MORNING HOURS. WILL CARRY A
VCSH AS PRECIPITATION CHANCES REMAIN CHANCE...AND TIMING WOULD STILL
BE A LITTLE UNCERTAIN. FOR THE LATER 15-18 HOURS OF THE TAF CYCLE
THE REGION SHOULD REMAIN LARGELY DRY WITH JUST A SMALL CHANCE FOR A
SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM ACROSS FAR WESTERN TAF SITES.

WIND SHEAR TO START THE TAF PERIOD WILL END AS DAYTIME MIXING WILL
PRODUCE GUSTY WINDS AT THE SURFACE. THESE WINDS MAY INCREASE TOWARDS
30 KNOTS OR SO ACROSS THE NIAGARA FRONTIER AND LATER IN THE DAY
UPWARDS TO 30 TO 35 KNOTS ACROSS THE EASTERN LAKE ONTARIO REGION.

THOUGH WINDS DECOUPLE TONIGHT A STILL STRONG SOUTHERLY SURFACE
WIND WILL BE FOUND OVER THE AIRFIELDS WITH GUSTS AVERAGING 20 TO
25 KNOTS.

OUTLOOK...
FRIDAY...MVFR WITH SHOWERS AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS...SOME OF
WHICH COULD PRODUCE GUSTY WINDS.
SATURDAY...VFR/MVFR WITH A CHANCE OF SHOWERS.
SUNDAY AND MONDAY...VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
HIGH PRESSURE PASSING EASTWARD ACROSS THE LOWER LAKES AND EASTERN
CANADA WILL OFFER BENIGN BOATING CONDITIONS TONIGHT AND EARLY
THURSDAY. SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL INCREASE ON THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND
MAY PRODUCE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS ALONG THE EASTERN SHORE
OF LAKE ONTARIO...THEN A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION FRIDAY
FOLLOWED BY COLD AIR ADVECTION THAT WILL STIR THE LAKE BODIES WITH
ADDITIONAL SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS LIKELY.
