AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
432 AM EDT FRI APR 4 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
EXPECT A MILD DAY TODAY WITH SHOWERS INCREASING ACROSS WESTERN NEW
YORK TODAY AND THEN INTO CENTRAL NEW YORK THIS EVENING.
THUNDERSTORMS WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE ACROSS FAR WESTERN NEW YORK
TODAY. A COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE STATE THIS EVENING AND
TONIGHT BRINGING A RETURN TO COOLER WEATHER...GUSTY WINDS AND
SHOWERS TAPERING OFF POSSIBLY WITH SOME WET SNOW LATER TONIGHT AND
DURING THE DAY SATURDAY.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
RADAR IMAGERY THIS EARLY MORNING DISPLAYS A FEW LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS
AND SPRINKLES ACROSS THE GENESEE VALLEY. HIGH PRESSURE OVER SOUTHERN
CANADA HAS SUPPLIED A VERY DRY SUB-CLOUD LAYER AND THIS ACTIVITY
CONTINUES TO WEAKEN WITH TIME THIS MORNING.

TODAY AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER ILLINOIS THIS MORNING WILL DEEPEN
AS IT LIFTS NORTHEASTWARD THROUGH THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES. WARM AIR
ALOFT WILL PUSH NORTHWARD WITHIN A SOUTHWESTERLY 50 TO 55 KNOT LLJ
THROUGH THE COURSE OF TODAY. AHEAD OF THIS STORM SYSTEM A SURFACE
WARM FRONT WILL LIFT ACROSS MUCH OF WESTERN NEW YORK...THOUGH LIKELY
STALLING JUST TO THE SOUTH OF THE FINGER LAKES AND EASTERN LAKE
ONTARIO REGION. SEVERAL CONVECTIVE PLUMES OF MOISTURE PUSHING
NORTHEASTWARD AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT WILL CROSS OUR REGION TODAY
AND TONIGHT...WITH A LINE OF SHOWERS WITHIN A PREFRONTAL TROUGH
REACHING FAR WNY THIS EARLY AFTERNOON AND THEN PROCEEDING INTO THE
GENESEE VALLEY THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS AND EASTERN LAKE ONTARIO
REGION BY EARLY EVENING. WEAK INSTABILITY MAY ALLOW FOR A RUMBLE OF
THUNDER...GENERALLY TO THE SOUTH OF THE WARM FRONT AND WITHIN THE
WARM SECTOR OF THE STORM SYSTEM.

AS THE SURFACE LOW LIFTS BY TO OUR NORTHWEST TONIGHT IT WILL DRAG A
COLD FRONT ACROSS WESTERN NEW YORK THIS EVENING...AND JUST AROUND
MIDNIGHT TO THE EAST. THERE MAY BE SOME BRIEF GUSTY WINDS ALONG THE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY...WITH AREAS MOST LIKELY TO REACH WIND ADVISORY
CRITERIA BEING NEAR THE LAKE ERIE SHORELINE. THE BULK OF THE RAIN
SHOWERS WILL END EARLY THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT TIME PERIOD...WITH WRAP
AROUND MOISTURE UNDER THE UPPER LEVEL LOW CONTINUING SCATTERED LIGHT
ACTIVITY THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE NIGHT...ESPECIALLY ACROSS
HIGHER TERRAIN.

COLD AIR DEEPENING BEHIND THE COLD FRONT WILL INCREASE THE MIXING
LAYER SUCH THAT WE COULD STILL TAP INTO THE LINGERING LLJ...WITH
WINDS GUSTING UPWARDS TOWARDS 50 MPH DOWNWIND OF LAKE ERIE. THESE
SOUTHWEST GUSTS WILL MAINLY IMPACT CHAUTAUQUA AND SOUTHERN ERIE
COUNTIES ALONG THE LAKE ERIE SHORELINE AND THEN INLAND ACROSS THE
NORTHERN NIAGARA FRONTIER. A WIND ADVISORY WILL BE IN PLACE THROUGH
THE OVERNIGHT TO ACCOUNT FOR THESE STRONGER WIND GUSTS. ELSEWHERE
WINDS WILL BE GUSTY AS WELL.

QPF WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL RANGE FROM AROUND A THIRD OF AN
INCH...UPWARDS TO AN INCH. HIGHEST AMOUNTS WILL BE THROUGH THE
NORTHERN FINGER LAKES AND EASTERN LAKE ONTARIO REGION...TO THE NORTH
OF THE WARM FRONT. ALSO ANY THUNDERSTORMS COULD BRING LOCALLY HEAVIER
AMOUNTS ACROSS SW NYS.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE FOUND WARMEST ACROSS WNY WITHIN THE WARM SECTOR
OF THIS SYSTEM...WITH MID TO UPPER 50S LIKELY. TO THE NORTH OF THE
WARM FRONT COOLER AIR WILL PERSIST WITH HIGHS IN THE MID 40S.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
THE AXIS OF AN UPPER LEVEL TROF WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION ON
SATURDAY WHICH WILL BRING A PARTING SHOT FROM OLD MAN WINTER. CLOUDS
TRAPPED UNDERNEATH A MID-LEVEL INVERSION WILL LIMIT HIGHS TOT HE
UPPER 30S TO LOWER 40S. THE UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE AND UPSLOPING
WILL BRING A CHANCE FOR SHOWERS...WITH THESE MOST PREVALENT EAST OF
THE LAKES. A CONSENSUS 850 MB TEMPERATURES FROM THE NAM/GFS/RGEM ARE
ABOUT -8C ON SATURDAY...WHICH SUGGESTS THAT SHOWERS EVEN IF SHOWERS
START AS A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW THEY WILL CHANGE OVER TO SNOW AS THE
SOUNDING COOLS TO THE WET BULB TEMPERATURE. AT LEAST THE EARLY APRIL
SUN WILL MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR ANYTHING TO ACCUMULATE...MAKING ANY
SNOW SHOWERS MORE OF A NUISANCE THAN ANYTHING ELSE. IN ADDITION TO
THE COOL TEMPERATURES AND SNOW SHOWERS...IT WILL ALSO BE A WINDY
DAY. ALTHOUGH NAM/GFS MOMENTUM TRANSFER PROFILES SUGGEST WIND GUSTS
NEAR 45 MPH...EXPECT THAT CLOUD COVER WILL LIMIT MIXING AND KEEP
GUSTS IN THE 35 TO 40 MPH RANGE IN MOST AREAS. THE EXCEPTION IS
WHERE FUNNELING OFF THE CHAUTAUQUA RIDGE WILL HELP WINDS ALOFT MIX
DOWN THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS WHERE THE WIND ADVISORY WILL REMAIN
IN PLACE.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL RIDGE NORTHWARD INTO THE REGION SATURDAY
NIGHT...AND CONTINUE TO INFLUENCE OUR WEATHER THROUGH THE REMAINDER
OF THE WEEKEND. LINGERING SNOW SHOWERS EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO WILL END
BY LATE SATURDAY NIGHT...AND SKIES WILL CLEAR OUT IN ALL AREAS BY
SUNDAY. FOLLOWING A CHILLY NIGHT ON SATURDAY...TEMPERATURES WILL
REBOUND NICELY ON SUNDAY WITH HIGHS INLAND CLIMBING WELL INTO THE
50S. A LAKE BREEZE WILL DEVELOP NEAR THE IMMEDIATE LAKESHORE AND
KEEP TEMPERATURES IN THE 40S CLOSE TO THE LAKES.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL SLIDE OFF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST AS STRONG LOW
PRESSURE APPROACHES FROM THE OHIO VALLEY ON MONDAY. THIS WILL
EVENTUALLY PHASE WITH THE UPPER LOW OVER HUDSON BAY...RESULTING IN A
LONGWAVE TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN CONUS/CANADA BY TUESDAY. MONDAY
SHOULD START OFF DRY AND FAIRLY WARM...BUT A STRONG CONSENSUS OF SEVERAL
RUNS OF THE ECMWF/GFS/GGEM BRING A SLUG OF MOISTURE INTO OUR REGION
MONDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT. THE LOW WILL LIFT ACROSS OUR
REGION AND INTO NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND ON TUESDAY WITH WRAP AROUND
SHOWERS AND COOLER TEMPERATURES. THE MAJORITY OF PRECIPITATION SHOULD
FALL AS RAIN SINCE THE CLOSED OFF LOW WILL HAVE LITTLE ADDITIONAL
COLD AIR TO TAP INTO. IT FOLLOWS THAT MOST THERMAL PROFILES KEEP OUR
REGION WARM ENOUGH FOR RAIN MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT. SLIGHTLY COOLER
TEMPERATURES ON TUESDAY WILL ALLOW SOME SNOW TO MIX IN...BUT ANY
ACCUMULATIONS LOOK TO BE LIMITED TO HIGHER TERRAIN.

THIS WILL POSE A RISK FOR FLOODING ACROSS OUR REGION...WITH THE
GREATEST POTENTIAL EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO WHERE THERE IS STILL A
SIGNIFICANT SNOW PACK IN PLACE. THE KEY WILL BE HOW WARM
TEMPERATURES ARE ON MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT...SINCE SNOW MELT COULD
ADD TO THE INCH OR SO OF RAIN THIS SYSTEM IS LIKELY TO PRODUCE.
ELSEWHERE...SOME OF THE BUFFALO/ROCHESTER CREEKS ARE RUNNING HIGH SO
IF RAINFALL AMOUNTS EXCEED AN INCH THEN THESE WOULD REACH BANKFULL.
THIS PERIOD WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED.

COLDER AIR WILL CONTINUE TO POUR INTO THE REGION THROUGH
WEDNESDAY...WITH UNSEASONABLY COOL TEMPERATURES EXPECTED MID-WEEK.
RAIN OR SNOW SHOWERS WILL ALSO LINGER. AFTER THIS...HIGH PRESSURE
WILL RIDGE INTO THE REGION WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY. THIS WILL
BRING A RETURN TO FAIR WEATHER...AND NOTABLY WARMER TEMPERATURES FOR
THURSDAY.

&&

.AVIATION /09Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
AT 06Z VFR FLIGHT CONDITIONS WERE ACROSS THE REGION...EXPECT FOR THE
SOUTHERN TIER WHERE LOW MVFR FLIGHT CONDITIONS WITHIN LIGHT RAIN
SHOWERS AND SPRINKLES WERE FOUND. SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS...MAINLY
ACROSS SOUTHERN AREAS WILL ERODE THROUGH THE NIGHT.

A LLJ BETWEEN 45 AND 55 KNOTS WILL DEVELOP OUT AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT
TODAY. THIS WILL BRING LLWS INTO ALL TAF SITES THROUGH THE DAYTIME
TODAY.

LATER TODAY A LINE OF SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED TO FORM AND CROSS
THE CWA FROM WEST TO EAST. EXPECT THESE RAIN SHOWERS TO REACH FAR
WNY BY EARLY AFTERNOON...AND CROSS THE CWA AND IMPACT ALL TAF SITES
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS. SOME MODERATE INSTABILITY ALOFT ACROSS
WNY MAY ALLOW FOR SOME THUNDER FOR THE 4 WESTERN TAF SITES. CIGS AND
VSBYS WILL LIKELY LOWER TO MVFR WITHIN THIS ACTIVITY...AND BRIEFLY
VSBYS MAY DROP TO IFR WITHIN ANY HEAVIER RAIN SHOWERS.

A COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE REGION EARLY EVENING...AND ALONG
THIS COLD FRONT WINDS MAY GUST UPWARD TOWARDS 35 TO 40 KNOTS
BRIEFLY. BEHIND THE COLD FRONT WINDS WILL VEER TO WEST...NORTHWEST
AND FALLING TEMPERATURES MAY ALLOW FOR SOME OF THE SCATTERED
LINGERING RAIN SHOWERS TO END AS A LITTLE LIGHT SNOW.

OUTLOOK...
FRIDAY NIGHT...MVFR CIGS WITH A DIMINISHING CHANCE OF RAIN/WET SNOW
SHOWERS.
SATURDAY...VFR/MVFR WITH A CHANCE OF RAIN AND WET SNOW
SHOWERS. SUNDAY...VFR.
MONDAY...VFR EARLY THEN MVFR/IFR IN RAIN.
TUESDAY...MVFR/IFR IN RAIN.

&&

.MARINE...
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL CONTINUE ON THE WESTERN END OF LAKE
ONTARIO TODAY AS EASTERLY WINDS 15 TO 25 KNOTS NORTH OF A WARM FRONT
WILL INCREASE WAVE HEIGHTS TO ABOVE SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS. LATER
THIS AFTERNOON WITH THE PASSING OF A COLD FRONT WINDS WILL VEER AROUND TO
SOUTHERLY AND THEN SOUTHWESTERLY AND INCREASE IN SPEED. COLD AIR
INCREASING THE MIXING HEIGHTS BEHIND THE COLD FRONT WILL BRING GALE
FORCE WINDS ON LAKE ERIE TONIGHT...AND THEN AS THE FLOW BECOMES MORE
WESTERLY ON BOTH EASTERN GREAT LAKES THROUGH THE DAY ON SATURDAY.

&&
