AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
823 PM EDT THU MAY 22 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL CROSS WESTERN AND CENTRAL NEW YORK TODAY
BRINGING SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THIS WILL BE FOLLOWED
BY AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE THAT WILL KEEP A CHANCE OF SHOWERS IN
PLAY TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY FOLLOWED BY QUIETER WEATHER SUNDAY
INTO MONDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES OVERHEAD.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
A WEAK AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IS CENTERED OVER CENTRAL NEW YORK NEAR
SYR THIS AFTERNOON WITH A COLD FRONT THAT EXTENDS SOUTHWEST TO NEAR
KELM THEN FURTHER SOUTHWEST ACROSS PA. TO THE NORTH OF THE LOW A
SURFACE TROUGH EXTENDS NORTH INTO QUEBEC CANADA. THE  AIRMASS TO THE
SOUTH AND EAST OF THE COLD FRONT AND TO THE NORTH OF THE LOW REMAINS
MOIST AND UNSTABLE WITH NUMEROUS STORMS FIRING ALONG AND EAST OF
THE FRONT AND TO THE NORTH AND NORTHWEST OF THE LOW. WEST OF THE
FRONT PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES ARE FOUND WITH SOME LINGERING
FOG JUST EAST OF LAKES ERIE AND ONTARIO. THE MOST WIDESPREAD FOG IS
FOUND ON THE EAST END OF LAKE ONTARIO AND ACROSS NORTHERN CAYUGA AND
OSWEGO COUNTIES AS SEEN IN VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY.

TONIGHT THE LOW AND ITS COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO SHIFT EAST TO THE
CAPITOL REGION WITH A WESTERLY FLOW SETTING UP ACROSS WESTERN AND
NORTH-CENTRAL NEW YORK. A MID-LEVEL TROUGH PRESENT ACROSS THE UPPER
LAKES THIS AFTERNOON WILL SHIFT SOUTH TOWARD THE LOWER GREAT LAKES
TONIGHT. MUCH OF THE NIGHT SHOULD BE DRY AS WATER VAPOR IMAGERY
SHOWS DRY AIR PUMPING ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES REGION BUT HAVE KEPT A
CHANCE OF SHOWERS ACROSS CENTRAL NEW YORK AS SOME WRAP AROUND
MOISTURE AND UPSLOPE FLOW MAY KEEP ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWER
ACTIVITY OVERNIGHT. DEWPOINTS ARE EXPECTED TO FALL INTO THE MID 40S
OVERNIGHT ALONG WITH A LIGHT WESTERLY WIND SO FEEL THERE IS LESS OF
A THREAT FOR FOG TONIGHT THAT WHAT WE SAW THURSDAY MORNING. SOME
SHELTERED VALLEYS MAY STILL SEE SOME FOG AS WELL AS NEAR THE LAKE
SHORES. TEMPS OVERNIGHT WILL SLIP BACK INTO THE MID 40S TO LOW 50S
WITH THE SLIGHTLY COOLER AND DRIER AIR ARRIVING BEHIND THE FRONT.

ON FRIDAY THE MID-LEVEL TROUGH WILL CROSS THE LOWER LAKES REGION.
THIS WILL BRING A CHANCE OF COLD AIR INSTABILITY SHOWERS TO THE
FORECAST AREA DURING THE DAY. MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES FORECAST UNDER
7C/KM WILL KEEP ONLY A CHANCE FOR THUNDER WITH PREDOMINATE WEATHER AS
RAIN SHOWERS. ANOTHER SURGE OF MOISTURE WILL ALSO KEEP MAINLY CLOUDY
SKIES. THE COOLER AIR AND MAINLY CLOUDY SKIES WITH SHOULD KEEP TEMPS
LIMITED TO THE UPPER 50S TO AROUND 60 OR ABOUT 10 DEGREES BELOW
NORMAL.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
FRIDAY NIGHT AN UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE TROUGH WILL BE DIVING
SOUTHEASTWARD WITH THE VORTICITY MAX/BASE OF THE TROUGH OVER THE
SOUTHERN MID ATLANTIC STATES. AT THE SURFACE A TRAILING TROUGH WILL
BE EXTENDED NORTHWESTWARD FROM AN ATLANTIC LOW...WITH THE TROUGH
AXIS ACROSS THE CATSKILLS AND ADIRONDACKS. EXPECT CONVECTIVE SHOWERS
TO BE DIMINISHING FRIDAY NIGHT WITH THE BEST CONCENTRATION OF
ACTIVITY CENTERED NEAR THE SURFACE TROUGH AXIS ACROSS THE FINGER
LAKES AND EASTERN LAKE ONTARIO REGION. FARTHER TO THE WEST LIKELY
DRY BY MID EVENING AND THEN THROUGH THE NIGHT THOUGH AN ABUNDANCE
OF CLOUDS WILL REMAIN.

SATURDAY HIGH PRESSURE FROM THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES WILL BEGIN TO
PUSH EASTWARD INTO OUR WESTERN AREAS. TO THE EAST A STILL CYCLONIC
FLOW ALOFT WITH A TRAILING WEAK SHORTWAVE SLIDING SOUTHWARD FROM
CANADA INTO THE MID ATLANTIC STATES MAY TRIGGER A SHOWER...AND
PERHAPS AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM. ACTIVITY WILL AGAIN BE
CONCENTRATED ACROSS THE FINGER LAKES AND EASTERN LAKE ONTARIO
REGION. HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD EASTWARD WHILE THE
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OVERHEAD ADVANCES EASTWARD. THIS WILL BRING A DRY
NIGHT SATURDAY NIGHT. A SHOWER MAY FORM ON THE FAR WESTERN PERIPHERY
OF THE CYCLONIC FLOW ALOFT ACROSS THE WESTERN FOOT HILLS OF THE
ADIRONDACKS...OTHERWISE DRY ON SUNDAY WITH A BROAD AREA OF HIGH
PRESSURE FIRMLY ENTRENCHED ACROSS THE EASTERN LAKE ONTARIO
REGION.

HIGHS OVER THE WEEKEND WILL START IN THE MID AND UPPER 60S ON
SATURDAY...AND WARM ON SUNDAY INTO THE LOW TO MID 70S. OVERNIGHT
LOWS WILL DROP BACK INTO THE MID 40S TO MID 50S...WITH THE COOLER
OVERNIGHT LOWS EARLY IN THE WEEKEND.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
THE WEATHER IS STILL LOOKING GOOD FOR THE LATTER HALF OF THE HOLIDAY
WEEKEND. MODEL GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO FORECAST AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE
BUILDING INTO THE GREAT LAKES REGION...WITH HIGH PRESSURE AT THE
SURFACE. THIS SHOULD BRING FAIR WEATHER AND QUITE A BIT OF SUNSHINE
ON BOTH SUNDAY AND MONDAY. OF THE TWO DAYS...MONDAY SHOULD BE A BIT
WARMER WITH HIGHS IN THE LOWER 80S AWAY FROM THE LAKES...AND 70S
NEAR THE LAKESHORES.

THINGS BECOME A BIT LESS CERTAIN ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...AS THE
UPPER LEVEL RIDGE STARTS TO BREAK DOWN. GUIDANCE SUGGESTS A BACK
DOOR FRONT AND COOLER CONDITIONS BY WEDNESDAY...A BIT COOLER THAN
PREVIOUS GUIDANCE. THE FORECAST REFLECTS THIS TREND...WITH A
PERSISTENT THREAT FOR SHOWERS MID-WEEK...WITH COOLER BUT STILL
SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE MOVED OUT OF MUCH OF THE FORECAST
AREA WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE COOL FRONT THIS AFTERNOON WITH THE
EXCEPTION OF THE NORTH COUNTRY WHERE SCATTERED -SHRA/-TSRA ARE
PERSISTING IN THE VICINITY OF A WEAK SURFACE LOW. A LARGE
CONCENTRATION OF SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE SAINT
LAWRENCE VALLEY IS CURRENTLY DRIFTING SOUTH AND IS EXPECTED TO
IMPACT KART THIS EVENING BRINGING MVFR CONDITIONS. -TSRA ARE
EXPECTED TO WEAKEN/DISSIPATE BY 06Z.

ELSEWHERE...LINGERING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL RESULT IN VFR/MVFR
CIGS THAT WILL CONTINUE TO AFFECT AREA TERMINALS OVERNIGHT. THERE IS
A POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF IFR/LIFR STRATUS WHERE ANY
CLEARING OCCURS...HOWEVER CONFIDENCE IN THE EXTENT/TIMING OF CLEARING
IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO WARRANT GOING IFR AT ANY SITES AT THIS TIME.

FOR FRIDAY...AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH CURRENTLY OVER GEORGIAN BAY WILL
DIP ACROSS THE LOWER GREAT LAKES...LEADING TO ANOTHER ROUND OF
SHOWERS. SHOWER COVERAGE WILL BE GREATEST OVER HIGHER TERRAIN SOUTH
OF LAKE ONTARIO THOUGH SCATTERED -SHRA WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS MUCH
OF THE AREA. VSBYS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN VFR WITH CIGS GENERALLY
VFR...THOUGH MVFR CONDITIONS MAY BE POSSIBLE IN HEAVIER SHOWERS OVER
HIGHER TERRAIN.

OUTLOOK...
FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT...MAINLY VFR WITH SCT -SHRA/-TSRA.
SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY...VFR.
TUESDAY...MVFR/VFR CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.

&&

.MARINE...
COLD FRONT IS NOW EAST OF LAKES ERIE AND ONTARIO THIS AFTERNOON.
SOME THUNDERSTORM ARE FOUND NORTH OF LAKE ONTARIO WHICH MAY CROSS
THE EASTERN END OF THE LAKE THIS EVENING. OTHERWISE SATELLITE IMAGERY
SHOWS LINGERING FOG OVER THE EAST END OF LAKE ONTARIO AND ALONG THE
EASTERN LAKE ERIE SHORELINE. WESTERLY WINDS WILL FRESHEN UP TO 15
KNOTS ON THE LAKES WHICH SHOULD HELP DISSIPATE THIS FOG AND WILL
GENERATE A LIGHT CHOP THROUGH TONIGHT BEFORE WINDS AND WAVES TAPER
OFF LATER FRIDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE ENCROACHES ON THE LAKES.

&&
