Special Weather Statement, NWS Buffalo, NY

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
1213 AM EDT SAT JUL 20 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DROP ACROSS THE REGION TONIGHT...WHICH
WILL LINGER INTO SATURDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL DROP ACROSS THE
REGION SATURDAY...BRINGING MUCH COOLER CONDITIONS FOR SUNDAY AND
INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...
WARMTH AND HUMIDITY REMAIN ACROSS THE SOUTHERN EDGE OF THE REGION IN
THE AREA UNTAPPED BY THE EVENING CONVECTION. RAINCOOLED AND DRIER
AIR IN PLACE ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA LATE THIS EVENING...
STABILIZED BY EARLIER STRONG TO SEVER CONVECTION.  WILL SEE
SCATTERED CONVECTION THROUGH THE NIGHT AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING COLD
FRONT WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF HEAVY RAIN...BUT NOT LIKELY TO BE AS
MUCH AS EARLIER...ABOUT A HALF INCH.

ON SATURDAY...EXPECT MOST OF THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY
TO SLIDE TO THE SOUTH AND EAST OF THE AREA LATE MORNING AND INTO
THE AFTERNOON HOURS. THE ACTUAL FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL NOT CROSS
UNTIL LATER IN THE DAY...BUT MUCH DRIER AIR WILL MOVE IN BEHIND
THE PRE-FRONTAL TROF WITH ONLY MARGINAL CHANCE FOR ANY SHOWERS OR
THUNDERSTORMS ALONG THE FRONT ITSELF WHICH WILL CROSS LATE IN THE
DAY SATURDAY. WITH COOLER AIR MOVING IN AND LINGERING
PRECIPITATION...TEMPERATURES WILL BE NOTABLY COOLER ON
SATURDAY...WITH HIGHS MAINLY IN THE LOWER 80S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...
BY SATURDAY EVENING...MOST OF THE 12Z GUIDANCE PACKAGES ARE IN GOOD
AGREEMENT THAT THE COLD FRONTAL ZONE AND THE BULK OF ITS ASSOCIATED
PRECIPITATION WILL HAVE SLIPPED TO OUR SOUTH...SAVE FOR THE NAM
WHICH IS A SLOWER OUTLIER. AS THIS PARTICULAR MODEL HAS SHOWN SOME
RUN-TO-RUN INCONSISTENCIES WITH THE TIMING OF THE FRONT OVER THE
PAST DAY OR SO...WILL DISREGARD IT IN FAVOR OF THE FASTER GFS/
GEM/ECMWF CONSENSUS AND OUR EXISTING CONTINUITY...ALL OF WHICH
ADVERTISE A GENERALLY DRY NIGHT. IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT...A HIGHLY
ANTICIPATED COOLER AND DRIER AIRMASS WILL SPREAD SOUTH ACROSS OUR
AREA THROUGH THE COURSE OF THE NIGHT...FINALLY BRINGING SOME MUCH
WELCOMED RELIEF FROM THE TROPICAL HEAT AND HUMIDITY LEVELS OF THE
PAST WEEK. EXPECT OVERNIGHT LOWS TO DROP TO THE MID 50S TO LOWER
60S...WHILE SURFACE DEWPOINTS FALL BACK TO MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE
LEVELS IN THE 50S.

WITH THE WATERS OF THE LOWER GREAT LAKES NOW IN THE MID TO UPPER 70S
/OR AROUND +25C/...AND THE INCOMING COOLER AIRMASS EVENTUALLY
FEATURING 850 MB TEMPS OF AROUND +10C BY LATER IN THE NIGHT...WE MAY
WELL SEE SOME LAKE EFFECT CLOUDINESS DEVELOP SOUTH OF THE LAKES
OVERNIGHT...THOUGH THE INCOMING AIRMASS WILL LIKELY REMAIN TOO DRY
AND FEATURE TOO LOW OF A SUBSIDENCE INVERSION TO SUPPORT ANY LAKE
EFFECT SHOWERS.

SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT...SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL SETTLE DIRECTLY
ACROSS THE LOWER LAKES AND NEW YORK STATE IN THE WAKE OF THE COLD
FRONT. COUPLED WITH STRONG MIDSUMMER DIURNAL EFFECTS...THIS SHOULD
RESULT IN ANY LAKE EFFECT CLOUDS FROM SATURDAY NIGHT BREAKING UP
DURING THE COURSE OF SUNDAY MORNING...LEADING TO A DECENT AMOUNT OF
SUNSHINE EVERYWHERE FOR THE AFTERNOON. MEANWHILE...850 MB TEMPS
RANGING FROM +9C NORTH TO +13C SOUTH SHOULD SUPPORT RATHER PLEASANT
HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER 70S...WHILE DEWPOINTS CONTINUE TO LOWER TO
THE 50-55 DEGREE RANGE WITH DIURNAL MIXING. THE COOLER AND QUIET
WEATHER WILL THEN CONTINUE INTO SUNDAY NIGHT...WHEN LOWS SHOULD
RANGE THROUGH THE 50S IN MOST LOCATIONS...WITH SOME UPPER 40S EVEN
POSSIBLE ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE NORTH COUNTRY. WITH THE LOW LEVEL
FLOW VEERING MORE EASTERLY...DO NOT EXPECT LAKE EFFECT CLOUDINESS TO
BE A PROBLEM FOR SUNDAY NIGHT...THOUGH THERE WILL PROBABLY BE SOME
INCREASE IN MID/HIGH CLOUDS OVERNIGHT IN ADVANCE OF A MODEST
SHORTWAVE TROUGH THAT WILL BE WORKING INTO THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES.

MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT...THE SURFACE HIGH WILL SLIDE EAST ACROSS
NEW ENGLAND AND OUT TO SEA...WHILE THE AFOREMENTIONED SHORTWAVE
TROUGH TO OUR WEST SETTLES ACROSS THE LOWER LAKES AND NY/PA...WHILE
ALSO SPAWNING SOME SEMBLANCE OF A WEAK SURFACE REFLECTION. WHILE THE
VARIOUS GUIDANCE PACKAGES STILL DIFFER WITH RESPECT TO HOW FAST
THIS SYSTEM ARRIVES AND EXACTLY HOW WELL DEVELOPED IT WILL BE...ALL
HAVE CONTINUED THE RECENT TREND TOWARD A FASTER AND SOMEWHAT MORE
DEVELOPED SYSTEM...WITH A PLUME OF DEEPER MOISTURE AND WEAK TO
MODEST ISENTROPIC LIFT EVENTUALLY ADVECTING INTO OUR AREA BETWEEN
MONDAY AFTERNOON AND MONDAY NIGHT. WITH THIS AND OUR EXISTING
CONTINUITY OF A TOTALLY DRY FORECAST BOTH IN MIND...HAVE ELECTED TO
GRADUALLY INTRODUCE SOME LOWER CHANCE POPS INTO AREAS SOUTH OF LAKE
ONTARIO MONDAY AFTERNOON...BEFORE BRINGING HIGHER CHANCE RANGE POPS
INTO THE ENTIRE AREA MONDAY NIGHT. THE HIGHEST PRECIPITATION CHANCES
WILL BE FOCUSED ACROSS OUR FINGER LAKES AND NORTH COUNTRY ZONES...
WHICH WILL BE CLOSEST TO THE BEST AREA OF DEEPER MOISTURE AND
ISENTROPIC LIFT. TEMPS THROUGH THIS LATTER PORTION OF THE PERIOD
WILL RETURN TO MIDSUMMER NORMS GIVEN THE WEAK WARM AIR ADVECTION
PATTERN...WITH DAYTIME HIGHS OF AROUND 80 EXPECTED ON MONDAY...
FOLLOWED BY LOWS IN THE LOWER TO MID 60S MONDAY NIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
IN THE LONG TERM PORTION OF THE FORECAST...THE LARGE-SCALE WEATHER
PATTERN ACROSS NORTH AMERICA WILL REVERT TO ONE WE HAVE BEEN MORE
FAMILIAR WITH FOR THE BULK OF THE SPRING AND SUMMER...THAT OF A
BROAD RIDGE OVER THE ROCKIES AND WESTERN PLAINS...WITH A
CORRESPONDING BROAD DOWNSTREAM TROUGH DEVELOPING OVER THE GREAT
LAKES AND NORTHEAST. THIS CHANGE IN THE PATTERN WILL RESULT IN AN
EXTENDED PERIOD OF MORE NORMAL SUMMERTIME TEMPERATURES FOR OUR
REGION...WITH DAILY HIGHS AVERAGING WITHIN A FEW DEGREES OF 80 EACH
DAY...AND NIGHTTIME LOWS GENERALLY RANGING IN THE LOWER TO MID 60S.

WITH RESPECT TO PRECIPITATION CHANCES...THE FORECAST PICTURE REMAINS
CONSIDERABLY MORE MUDDLED. UNDER THE EXPECTED LARGE-SCALE FLOW
REGIME...NUMEROUS PIECES OF SHORTWAVE ENERGY SHOULD ROTATE THROUGH
THE DEVELOPING TROUGH AND LEAD TO PERIODIC CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS...HOWEVER THE MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE REMAINS ALL OVER
THE MAP WITH RESPECT TO THE TIMING AND STRENGTH OF THESE FEATURES.
WITH THIS IN MIND...HAVE JUST CONTINUED TO BROADBRUSH SOME LOW
CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE ENTIRE PERIOD FOR NOW...AND WILL WAIT UNTIL
BETTER MODEL AGREEMENT DEVELOPS BEFORE TRYING TO PROVIDE MORE
REFINED/DETAILED PRECIPITATION PROBABILITIES AND TIMING. ALL THIS
SAID...THIS PERIOD LOOKS TO BE FAR FROM A WASHOUT AT THIS TIME...
WITH ANY SHOTS OF SHOWERS/STORMS LIKELY TO ALTERNATE WITH FREQUENT
DRY PERIODS.

&&

.AVIATION /04Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
FOR THE 18Z TAF CYCLE...GUSTY SW WINDS TO BE THE MAIN IMPACT FOR
THIS AFTERNOON...WITH BUF/IAG/ROC/ART ALL SEEING PREVAILING GUSTS
IN THE 30 TO 35 KT RANGE. WIDELY SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS MAY
BRIEFLY IMPACT JHW.

AFTER THIS...A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL APPROACH FROM THE WEST
23Z. THIS AREA WILL PROBABLY WEAKEN AS IT MOVES INTO OUR
REGION...BUT MAY HOLD TOGETHER LONG ENOUGH TO IMPACT IAG/ART...AND
POSSIBLY BUF/ROC DURING THE EVENING HOURS. STEADIER THUNDERSTORMS
ARE LIKELY LATE TONIGHT AS A LARGER AREA IS FORECAST TO DROP
ACROSS THE REGION. ALL THUNDERSTORMS MAY CONTAIN GUSTY WINDS AND
WIND SHIFTS...WITH HEAVY RAIN LOWERING VSBY TO 1SM.

STORMS WILL DROP FROM N-S LATE TONIGHT AND INTO SATURDAY
MORNING...WITH CONDITIONS IMPROVING TO VFR.

OUTLOOK...
SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY MORNING...VFR.
MONDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH WEDNESDAY...MAINLY VFR WITH A CHANCE OF
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS.

&&

.MARINE...
WINDS HAVE PICKED UP THROUGH THE EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS ACROSS MOST
OF THE WATERS...WITH WINDS STRONGEST NEAR THE LAKE SHORES. THESE
WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THIS EVENING...AS A STRONG LOW LEVEL JET
REMAINS ACROSS THE REGION. WINDS WILL DIMINISH FROM WEST TO EAST
LATER TONIGHT...MORE QUICKLY ACROSS AREAS NEAR LAND WHERE THE LOSS
OF DAYTIME HEATING WILL RESULT IN LESS MIXING. WAVES ON THE
NORTHEAST SHORES WILL TAKE A BIT TO DROP OFF ON BOTH OF THE LAKES.

THE OTHER ISSUE FOR THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT WILL BE THE POTENTIAL
FOR STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ON THE WATERS.

WINDS WILL DIMINISH SATURDAY AND ONWARD WITH NO HEADLINES ANTICIPATED.

&&

.CLIMATE...
HOT AND HUMID WEATHER WILL CONTINUE THROUGH TODAY AND TEMPERATURES
WILL APPROACH RECORD HIGHS THIS AFTERNOON...THOUGH THE ONLY SITE
THAT IS EXPECTED TO AT LEAST TIE IT/S RECORD HIGH IS ROCHESTER.
HOWEVER...WITH READINGS IN THE UPPER 70S THIS FRIDAY MORNING...RECORD
WARM LOWS SHOULD BE BROKEN AT ALL THREE LOCATIONS BELOW.
