AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
759 PM EDT WED JUN 18 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
SHOWERS WILL MOVE ACROSS WESTERN NEW YORK TONIGHT...WITH SOME
THUNDERSTORMS IN THE SOUTHERN TIER AS A STORM SYSTEM OVER THE
GREAT LAKES DIVES TO OUR SOUTH. OTHERWISE A COLD FRONT WILL USHER
IN DRIER AIR AND COOLER TEMPERATURES FOR THURSDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS ACROSS THE REGION FROM CANADA. FAIR WEATHER AND SEASONABLE
TEMPERATURES WILL THEN PERSIST THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK AND
INTO THE COMING WEEKEND AS HIGH PRESSURE DRIFTS OVERHEAD.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
AT 730 PM...RADAR SHOWS A CONVECTIVE COMPLEX MOVING ACROSS LAKE
ERIE. AS FORECAST...THIS COMPLEX IS WEAKENING CONSIDERABLY ON ITS
NORTHERN EDGE...WITH CONVECTION EXPANDING OUT AHEAD OF THE COMPLEX
ACROSS NW PENNSYLVANIA. HOWEVER...A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF
MOISTURE REMAINS WITH THE WEAKENING COMPLEX...WITH BOTH RADAR
TRENDS AND THE PAST TWO RUNS OF THE HRRR BRINGING THIS ACROSS THE
CWA FROM LAKE ONTARIO SOUTHWARD. THIS SHOULD NOT BE PARTICULARLY
HEAVY RAIN...BUT IT SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO WET THE GROUND AND
MEASURE...AND AS SUCH HAVE UPPED POPPED TO LIKELY/CATEGORICAL ALONG
THE I-90 CORRIDOR.

MEANWHILE...A DECENT LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS EXTENDS SOUTH OF
THIS...TRACKING TOWARD ERIE COUNTY PENNSYLVANIA. THIS FEATURE
BEARS WATCHING...BUT GIVEN THE PROGRESSIVELY MORE STABLE AIR IT IS
ENCOUNTERING...IT IS LIKELY TO WEAKEN FURTHER AS IT REACHES
CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY. THIS SHOULD BRING A PERIOD OF SHOWERS...AND A
FEW THUNDERSTORMS TO WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHERN TIER...BUT
STILL POSES ONLY A SMALL RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER.

THIS COMPLEX APPEARS TO BE THE MAIN FEATURE OF THE NIGHT. SOME
MESOSCALE GUIDANCE MISSES THIS COMPLEX AND KEYS ON A SECONDARY
FEATURES...BUT GIVEN THE LATEST TRENDS HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THE HRRR
SOLUTION WHICH HAS MOST OF THE QPF LATE THIS EVENING. A SECONDARY
WAVE MAY CLIP THE SOUTHERN TIER LATE TONIGHT...BUT ELSEWHERE
SHOULD BE DRY AS COLDER AND DRIER AIR BUILDS BEHIND THE EXITING
COMPLEX.

THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL SAG SOUTH AND SET UP A NORTH-
NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ADVECTING COOLER AND MUCH DRIER AIR WILL BEGIN
TO TAKE HOLD ACROSS THE REGION AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
SOUTH OUT OF CANADA. TEMPERATURES WILL COOL INTO THE MID TO UPPER
50S OVERNIGHT...COOLEST ACROSS THE NORTH COUNTRY...WITH COOLING
INHIBITED SOMEWHAT BY THE ABUNDANT CLOUD COVER ASSOCIATED THE
TROUGH.

LOOK FOR WIDESPREAD SUNSHINE AND FAIR WEATHER ON THURSDAY AS A MUCH
COOLER AND DRIER AIRMASS WILL DISPLACE THE LINGERING MOISTURE IN
PLACE OVER THE REGION. THIS SHOULD YIELD A FINE DAY ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA WITH HIGHS TOPPING OUT IN THE MID 70S...WITH 60S ALONG
THE LAKE ONTARIO SHERLINE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER JAMES BAY WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD
SOUTH THURSDAY NIGHT WITH A DRY NORTHERLY FLOW PUSHING THE AXIS OF
SURFACE MOISTURE SOUTH OF THE NEW YORK BORDER. CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT
SURFACE WINDS COMBINED WITH THE DROPPING DEWPOINTS WILL PROVIDE
GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING OVERNIGHT WITH TEMPS FALLING INTO UPPER TO
MID 40S EXCEPT RIGHT ALONG THE LAKE SHORES AND IN URBAN AREAS WHICH
WILL BOTTOM OUT IN THE LOW 50S. ALSO EXPECT AT LEAST SOME PATCHY
RIVER VALLEY FOG ACROSS THE SOUTHERN TIER.

COOLER AND DRIER CONDITIONS WILL LINGER THROUGH FRIDAY WITH HIGH
PRESSURE REMAINING RIDGED ACROSS NEW YORK. EXPECTING LOTS OF
SUNSHINE TO START THEN SOME CLOUDS WILL INCREASE FROM THE WEST AHEAD
OF A MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE DROPPING SOUTH ACROSS THE CENTRAL GREAT
LAKES. SURFACE TEMPS WILL RISE INTO A RANGE OF UPPER 70S ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN TIER TO AROUND 70 EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO WHERE 850MB TEMPS
WILL FALL TO AROUND 8C. FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY THE MID-LEVEL
SHORTWAVE TROUGH MENTIONED ABOVE WILL CROSS LAKE ERIE BRINGING A
CHANCE OF SHOWERS ACROSS THE WESTERN SOUTHERN TIER CLEARING TO THE
SOUTH BY SATURDAY NIGHT. THE INSTABILITY AXIS WILL REMAIN WELL TO
THE SOUTH SO NOT EXPECTING ANY THUNDER. OUTSIDE OF THE SOUTHERN TIER
COUNTIES...EXPECT DRY CONDITIONS. TEMPS WILL REACH INTO THE MID 70S
SATURDAY AND FALL INTO THE 50S BOTH FRIDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHTS.
METEOROLOGICAL SUMMER BEGINS AT 621AM SATURDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE AND WEAK RIDGING ALOFT WILL BRING A GREAT DAY
ON SUNDAY WITH A MIX OF SUN AND CLOUDS AND TEMPS CLIMBING INTO THE
70S. SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY THE SURFACE HIGH LOOKS TO SHIFT EAST
OFF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST WHICH WILL BRING A RETURN OF WARM AND
MOIST SOUTHERLY FLOW. A GENERAL MODEL SOLUTION SHOWS LOW PRESSURE
SHIFTING EAST ACROSS SOUTHERN CANADA WITH A COLD FRONT SLOWLY
DROPPING SOUTH ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES THROUGH EARLY TO MID NEXT WEEK.
INSTABILITY BEGINS INCREASING MONDAY WITH A CHANCE FOR SOME
DIURNALLY TRIGGERED AFTERNOON STORMS THEN TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY THE
APPROACHING FRONT WILL PROVIDE FORCING FOR PERIODS OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS. WENT WITH BROADBRUSH CHANCE POPS MON-WED TO COVER FOR
THE CONVECTION BUT TIMING AND LOCATION WILL NEED TO BE FINE TUNED
OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. TEMPS WILL RUN WITHIN A FEW DEGREES OF
AVERAGE FOR LATE JUNE.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
EXPECT MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS THIS EVENING...WITH SHOWERS MAINLY
FALLING FROM A MID-LEVEL CLOUD DECK. THE MAIN AREA OF CONCERN IS
JHW...WHERE SHOWERS AND POSSIBLY A THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE
THROUGH LATE THIS EVENING. THIS MAY BRIEFLY LOWER VSBY/CIGS...WITH
LEFT OVER MOISTURE LIKELY TO LEAVE MVFR CIGS FOR MUCH OF THE NIGHT. EXPECT
CONDITIONS TO IMPROVE TO VFR FROM NORTH TO SOUTH ACROSS THE AREA
FROM LATE TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE AND MUCH DRIER
AIR BUILD INTO THE REGION.

OUTLOOK...
THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...VFR.
SATURDAY...VFR WITH A CHANCE OF SHOWERS IN THE SOUTHERN TIER.
SUNDAY...VFR.
MONDAY...MAINLY VFR WITH A CHANCE OF SHOWERS.

&&

.MARINE...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE ACROSS THE LAKE ERIE WATERS
THIS EVENING. OTHERWISE...LARGELY TRANQUIL CONDITIONS SHOULD
PERSIST ON THE LAKES FROM LATE TONIGHT THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS HIGH
PRESSURE DRIFTS ACROSS THE REGION FROM CANADA.
