AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
539 PM EDT TUE AUG 12 2014

.SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION TONIGHT WITH A PERIOD OF SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS. LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE TO QUEBEC TONIGHT THEN
STALL THROUGH FRIDAY AND KEEP AN UNSETTLED PATTERN ACROSS OUR REGION
WITH COOL TEMPERATURES AND OCCASIONAL SHOWERS. TEMPERATURES WILL
BEGIN TO MODERATE BY THE WEEKEND AS LOW PRESSURE FINALLY MOVES AWAY
FROM THE AREA...ALTHOUGH A WEAK FRONT MAY PRODUCE A FEW WIDELY
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
A NARROW AREA OF BINOVC ACROSS WESTERN NY HAS ALLOWED SURFACE
TEMPERATURES TO CLIMB INTO THE MID 70S WITH SOME INSOLATION. OF
EQUAL IMPORTANCE IS MID LEVEL HEIGHT FALLS AND COOLING...WHICH
HAVE STEEPENED LAPSE RATES ENOUGH TO YIELD SBCAPE OF 1000-1500J/KG
ACROSS WESTERN NY DESPITE THE LIMITED SURFACE HEATING. 0-6KM BULK
EFFECTIVE SHEAR IS ON THE ORDER OF 40 KNOTS ACROSS WESTERN NY. THE
COMBINATION OF INSTABILITY...SHEAR...AND DEEP LAYER FORCING
SUPPORTS THUNDERSTORMS GROWING UPSCALE INTO SHORT LINE SEGMENTS
WITH AN ATTENDANT RISK OF ISOLATED DAMAGING WIND GUSTS. SOME
STORMS MAY ALSO PRODUCE ENOUGH RAIN TO RESULT IN MINOR POOR
DRAINAGE FLOODING WITH PWAT OF AROUND 1.75 INCHES. SOME OF THE
STRONGER CORES MAY ALSO PRODUCE A MARGINAL RISK OF LARGE HAIL.
THIS RISK WILL ONLY BE AROUND FOR A FEW HOURS INTO EARLY EVENING
MAINLY FROM THE GENESEE VALLEY WESTWARD WHERE SURFACE INSTABILITY
HAS BEEN REALIZED. AS THE LINE MOVES EAST LATER THIS EVENING IT
WILL QUICKLY RUN OUT OF INSTABILITY ACROSS CENTRAL NY AND THE
NORTH COUNTRY WHERE CLOUD COVER HAS BEEN IN PLACE ALL DAY.

RADAR IMAGERY AT AROUND 530 PM SHOWS A LINE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS EXTENDING FROM NORTH TO SOUTH FROM BUFFALO TO
JAMESTOWN. THIS IS MOVING ENE AT ABOUT 20 MPH. THIS IS IN
ASSOCIATION WITH A PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH JUST AHEAD OF THE MAIN COLD
FRONT...WITH PLENTY OF SUPPORT FROM SEASONABLY STRONG DPVA AHEAD
OF THE SHARP MID LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE CENTRAL LAKES. THIS BAND OF
CONVECTION WILL GRADUALLY WEAKEN DURING THE EVENING HOURS...BUT
THERE STILL MAY BE A FEW STRONG STORMS WITH GUSTY WINDS AND HEAVY
RAINS.

BEHIND THE EVENING LINE OF CONVECTION...EXPECT A PERIOD OF MAINLY
DRY WEATHER TO DEVELOP ACROSS WESTERN NY FOR AT LEAST SEVERAL
HOURS. BY LATE TONIGHT THE BASE OF THE MID LEVEL TROUGH AND
ADDITIONAL VORTICITY MAXIMA WILL ENTER THE REGION WITH AN
INCREASING RISK OF SHOWERS AGAIN. THERE WILL ALSO BE SOME LAKE
ENHANCEMENT LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING EAST OF LAKE
ERIE AS LAKE INDUCED EQUILIBRIUM LEVELS CLIMB TO AROUND 30K
FEET...SUPPORTING SHOWERS AND PERHAPS EVEN A THUNDERSTORM.

FARTHER EAST...THE EVENING LINE OF CONVECTION WILL TEND TO BROADEN
INTO A WIDER AREA OF SHOWERS BY MIDNIGHT...THEN MOVE ONLY SLOWLY
EAST ACROSS THE EASTERN LAKE ONTARIO REGION THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY.
THIS WILL ALLOW FOR SOMEWHAT HEAVIER RAIN TO FALL...WITH BASIN
AVERAGE AMOUNTS OF 1-1.5 INCHES LIKELY ACROSS THE EASTERN LAKE
ONTARIO REGION ESPECIALLY IN UPSLOPE ZONES OF THE SOUTHERN TUG HILL
AND SOUTHWEST FOOTHILLS OF THE ADIRONDACKS. IT HAS BEEN RELATIVELY
DRY OVER THE PAST 5 DAYS...SO RIVERS WILL HANDLE THIS WITH LITTLE
IMPACT. SOME MINOR POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING IS POSSIBLE IF ANY
EMBEDDED CONVECTION TRAINS.

ON WEDNESDAY THE MORE PERSISTENT RAIN EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO WILL END.
SCATTERED SHOWERS ASSOCIATED WITH THE BASE OF THE MID LEVEL TROUGH
WILL CROSS THE REGION FROM WEST TO EAST DURING THE MORNING...EXITING
THE FAR WEST EARLY AND REACHING EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO BY LATE MORNING
OR MIDDAY. THERE MAY STILL BE SOME BRIEF LAKE ENHANCEMENT FOR AN
HOUR OR TWO EAST OF LAKES ERIE AND ONTARIO NEAR THE TIME OF THE
TROUGH PASSAGE. BY AFTERNOON EXPECT THE LAKE PROCESS TO FLIP...WITH
STABLE LAKE SHADOWS DEVELOPING WITH PEAK HEATING. THIS WILL ALLOW A
FEW DIURNALLY DRIVEN SHOWERS TO DEVELOP INLAND FROM THE LAKES...
MOST LIKELY ALONG A CONVERGENCE ZONE FORECAST TO DEVELOP FROM THE
NIAGARA FRONTIER TO THE NORTHERN FINGER LAKES. EXPECT COVERAGE TO BE
RELATIVELY SPARSE DURING THE AFTERNOON.

HIGH TEMPERATURES ON WEDNESDAY WILL BE 5-8 DEGREES BELOW AVERAGE...
WITH LOW TO MID 70S AT LOWER ELEVATIONS AND UPPER 60S ACROSS HIGHER
TERRAIN.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
WE WILL BE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE CLOSED UPPER LOW OVER SOUTHERN
QUEBEC THROUGH THE PERIOD. ALTHOUGH TOUGH TO PIN POINT BEST AREAS
FOR PRECIPITATION IN THIS PATTERN...THERE LOOKS TO BE AMPLE MOISTURE
AND SUFFICIENT COLD AIR ALOFT TO SUPPORT DIURNALLY DRIVEN
CONVECTION...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTH COUNTRY WHICH WILL BE
CLOSER TO THE UPPER LOW CENTER AND BETTER MOISTURE FIELD. WILD CARD
WITHIN THIS COLD CYCLONIC FLOW PATTERN WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR
LAKE INDUCED PRECIPITATION. ALTHOUGH THERE WILL BE SOME POTENTIAL
WEDNESDAY NIGHT/THURSDAY MORNING...THE GREATER LIKELIHOOD WILL BE
EAST/SOUTHEAST OF LAKE ONTARIO THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING
WHEN THE COLDEST 850 MB AIR NEARING +4C SETTLES ACROSS THE REGION.
PERSISTENT DRY AIR CUTTING UNDERNEATH OF THE UPPER LOW WILL LIKELY
LIMIT THE ACTIVITY OFF LAKE ERIE.

TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE PERIOD SHOULD AVERAGE A SOLID 10 TO 15
DEGREES BELOW NORMAL WITH THURSDAY BEING THE COLDEST DAY WITH HIGHS
IN THE 60S...AND ONLY 50S OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
MEDIUM RANGE MODELS SEEM TO BE A BIT MORE IN LINE WITH THE SHORTWAVE
ENERGY FORECAST TO DROP THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES REGION SATURDAY
NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY. THIS GIVES A BIT MORE CONFIDENCE TO ADDING OR
INCREASING PRECIPITATION PROBABILITIES DURING THIS TIME FRAME.

CHANCES FOR ADDITIONAL SHOWERS PROBABLY STICKS AROUND SUNDAY NIGHT
BEFORE THE ATMOSPHERE DRIES SUFFICIENTLY. LOWER CONFIDENCE DEVELOPS
LATER IN THE PERIOD AS DIFFERENT DATA SETS SUGGESTING EITHER MID
LEVEL RIDGING...OR POSSIBLY MORE SHORTWAVE ENERGY MOVING INTO THE
REGION. CONTINUITY FORECAST WAS DRY AND WILL LEAVE IT THAT WAY AS
ECMWF SUGGESTS A DRIER SCENARIO.

&&

.AVIATION /22Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
A BAND OF CONVECTION IS MOVING ACROSS WESTERN NY AND WILL BRING A
1-3 HOUR PERIOD OF TSRA AND BRIEF REDUCTIONS TO MVFR/IFR
CONDITIONS INCLUDING KBUF-KIAG-KJHW. THIS WILL MOVE EAST AND CROSS
THE GENESEE VALLEY INCLUDING KROC DURING THE 22Z- 01Z TIME
FRAME...THEN SLOWLY WEAKEN AND BROADEN INTO A LARGER AREA OF RAIN
WITH A FEW EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS OVERNIGHT EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO.
THIS WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE AREAS OF MVFR/IFR IN THAT AREA
INCLUDING KART.

BEHIND THE AREA OF CONVECTION...A PERIOD OF IFR CIGS APPEARS LIKELY
AGAIN OVERNIGHT ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF THE SOUTHERN TIER AND
FINGER LAKES WITH MOIST LOW LEVEL UPSLOPE FLOW. BOUNDARY LAYER
MIXING AND CLOUD COVER SHOULD PREVENT MUCH IN THE WAY OF
FOG...ALTHOUGH A FEW HILLTOPS MAY GET INTO LOCAL FOG IF THE STRATUS
LAYER INTERSECTS THE TERRAIN.

ON WEDNESDAY THE LOW CIGS ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN WILL IMPROVE TO
MVFR BY LATE MORNING WITH FURTHER IMPROVEMENT TO VFR BY AFTERNOON.
STEADIER RAIN EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO EARLY WITH LOCAL MVFR/IFR WILL
TAPER OFF. ANOTHER BROKEN BAND OF SHOWERS WILL MOVE INTO WESTERN NY
VERY EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING THEN PROGRESS EAST ACROSS THE AREA
DURING THE DAY WITH A BRIEF PERIOD OF MVFR. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
ISOLATED THUNDER WILL DEVELOP DURING THE AFTERNOON INLAND FROM THE
LAKES BUT COVERAGE SHOULD REMAIN RATHER SPARSE WITH VFR PREVAILING
IN MOST PLACES DURING THE AFTERNOON.

OUTLOOK...
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...VFR WITH A CHANCE OF MVFR IN SHOWERS
ESPECIALLY EAST OF THE LAKES.
SATURDAY...VFR.
SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY...MAINLY VFR WITH A CHANCE OF SHOWERS.

&&

.MARINE...
MODERATE SOUTHERLY WINDS AT THE EAST END OF LAKE ONTARIO WILL
GRADUALLY DIMINISH THIS EVENING. WINDS WILL BECOME MORE WESTERLY AND
INCREASE LATE TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY BEHIND A COLD FRONT AND PRODUCE
ANOTHER PERIOD OF SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS ON BOTH LAKES ERIE
AND ONTARIO. WINDS AND WAVES WILL DIMINISH FROM WEST TO EAST LATER
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT RELAXES. WINDS MAY INCREASE
AGAIN DURING THE DAY THURSDAY WITH COLD AIR ALOFT ALLOWING FOR STEEP
LAPSE RATES AND EFFICIENT MOMENTUM TRANSFER OF STRONGER WINDS TO THE
SURFACE.

CONDITIONS WILL BECOME MARGINALLY SUPPORTIVE OF WATERSPOUTS
WEDNESDAY MORNING ON LAKE ERIE...AND MORNING THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON
ON LAKE ONTARIO. A BETTER CHANCE OF WATERSPOUTS WILL OCCUR LATE
WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING AS THE COOLEST AIR ALOFT
CROSSES THE LOWER LAKES. WATERSPOUTS ARE MOST COMMON IN AND NEAR
BANDS OF LAKE EFFECT CLOUDS AND SHOWERS WHERE LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE
IS MAXIMIZED.

&&

NY...NONE.
