AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
243 AM EDT THU APR 9 2015

.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS WILL LIFT NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS
THE GREAT LAKES AND INTO QUEBEC PROVINCE THROUGH THE END OF THE WORK
WEEK. IN THE PROCESS...IT WILL PUSH ITS ASSOCIATED WARM FRONT ACROSS
WESTERN AND NORTH CENTRAL NEW YORK TODAY...FOLLOWED BY ITS TRAILING
COLD FRONT ON FRIDAY. THIS SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE
OCCASIONAL ROUNDS OF SHOWERS WITH POSSIBLE EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS
ALONG THE COLD FRONT LATER TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY. OUR REGION WILL ALSO
BENEFIT FROM A BRIEF PERIOD OF WARMER WEATHER LATER TODAY INTO
FRIDAY. FOLLOWING THE COLD FRONT...COOLER WEATHER WILL RETURN FOR
FRIDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEKEND.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
A SHALLOW 1000-700 MB MOISTURE LADEN AIRMASS REMAINS IN PLACE EARLY
THIS MORNING ALONG A STATIONARY SURFACE TROUGH THAT EXTENDS FROM
EASTERN OH NORTHEAST ACROSS WESTERN NEW YORK TO WATERTOWN.
CONVERGENCE INTO THIS BOUNDARY WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT AREAS OF
DRIZZLE AND FOG.

AFTER DAYBREAK...LOW PRESSURE OVER THE OK PANHANDLE WILL LIFT
NORTHEASTWARD INTO THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES TODAY LIFTING ITS FRONT
BOUNDARY NORTHWARD ACROSS WESTERN AND NORTH CENTRAL NEW YORK. EXPECT
ADDITIONAL OCCASIONAL SHOWERS TO REDEVELOP AND ACCOMPANY THE
ADVANCING FRONT AS IT LIFTS ACROSS THE REGION. THE VERY STABLE
1000-700MB LAYER WILL NOT SUPPORT ANY THUNDERSTORMS TODAY UNLESS
FORCING ABOVE THE 700MB CAP CAN OCCUR. THE MAJORITY OF THESE SHOWERS
WILL TEND TO FOCUS ALONG AND NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY AS IT LIFTS
ACROSS THE AREA...SO HAVE ELECTED TO FOCUS OUR HIGHEST POPS
THERE...WHILE LOWERING THESE A BIT TO THE SOUTH OF THE FRONT.

AS FOR TEMPS...EXPECT TEMPERATURES TO REMAIN NEARLY STEADY THIS
MORNING WITH LOW CLOUDS...DRIZZLE AND FOG. WARMER AIR WORKING
NORTHWARD IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ADVANCING FRONT THIS AFTERNOON
WILL THEN RESULT IN A NOTICEABLY MILDER TEMPERATURES...WITH HIGHS
RANGING FROM THE MID-UPPER 40S ACROSS INTERIOR PORTIONS OF THE NORTH
COUNTRY...TO THE LOWER TO MID 60S ACROSS FAR SOUTHWESTERN NEW YORK.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
THURSDAY NIGHT A BROAD WARM ADVECTIVE REGIME WILL REMAIN IN PLACE
ACROSS THE LOWER LAKES AHEAD OF A SIGNIFICANT MID LEVEL TROUGH AND
SURFACE LOW MOVING TOWARDS THE CENTRAL LAKES. THE STRONG WARM
ADVECTION AND ISENTROPIC LIFT WILL BE ENHANCED BY A 50+ KNOT
SOUTHWESTERLY LOW LEVEL JET WHICH WILL MAXIMIZE CONVERGENCE ON ITS
NOSE. THE STEADIEST RAIN AND GREATEST AMOUNTS SHOULD FOCUS OVER LAKE
ONTARIO AND ACROSS THE EASTERN LAKE ONTARIO REGION IN CLOSER
PROXIMITY TO THE SHARPEST BAROCLINIC ZONE. RAIN WILL BE MORE
INTERMITTENT FARTHER SOUTH ACROSS WESTERN AND CENTRAL NY. WITH PWAT
PEAKING AT AROUND 1.5 INCHES AND ENOUGH INSTABILITY TO SUPPORT A FEW
WEAK SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS...THERE WILL BE SOME BRIEF DOWNPOURS.

ON FRIDAY A DEEPENING SURFACE LOW WILL MOVE FROM THE CENTRAL LAKES
INTO WESTERN QUEBEC...WITH A TRAILING SURFACE LOW CROSSING OUR
REGION FROM WEST TO EAST. A STRONG MID LEVEL TROUGH WILL SWING
THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES AND SUPPORT ORGANIZED LARGE SCALE ASCENT...
WITH STRONG CONVERGENCE ALONG THE SURFACE COLD FRONT. STRONG FLOW
WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THE DAY...WHICH WILL ENHANCE
CONVERGENCE ALONG THE ADVANCING COLD FRONT. THIS WILL PRODUCE A BAND
OF SHOWERS AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ALONG THE COLD FRONT. SOME OF
THESE MAY ENTER WESTERN NY VERY LATE THURSDAY NIGHT...THEN SPREAD
EAST ACROSS THE AREA FRIDAY ALONG EITHER THE COLD FRONT OR A
PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH.

INSTABILITY WILL BE VERY LIMITED ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT
DUE TO PLENTY OF CLOUD COVER...SHOWERS...AND POOR DIURNAL TIMING.
NONETHELESS...THE STRONGLY FORCED ENVIRONMENT MAY BE ABLE TO ACT ON
THE LIMITED INSTABILITY TO MAINTAIN A BROKEN LINE OF CONVECTION
WHICH WILL FORM UPSTREAM ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY EARLIER THURSDAY
NIGHT. IF THIS LINE IS ABLE TO MAINTAIN ITSELF...THERE MAY BE SOME
RISK FOR LOCALLY DAMAGING WIND GUSTS LATE THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY
MORNING ACROSS THE AREA...AS OUTLINED IN THE SPC DAY 2 OUTLOOK OF
MARGINAL TO SLIGHT CHANCE ACROSS THE WESTERN HALF OF THE AREA.

BEHIND THE COLD FRONT SHOWERS AND ANY THUNDERSTORMS WILL TAPER OFF
FROM WEST TO EAST DURING THE DAY FRIDAY. MODEL POINT SOUNDINGS
CONTINUE TO SUGGEST THE POTENTIAL FOR STRONG WINDS WITH 50-60 KNOTS
ALOFT MAINTAINED IN THE POST-FRONTAL AIRMASS. COLD ADVECTION AND A
DRY SLOT BEHIND THE COLD FRONT WILL SUPPORT DOWNWARD MOMENTUM
TRANSFER OF THE STRONGER WINDS ALOFT IN THE FORM OF GUSTS...WITH THE
STRONGEST WINDS IN THE TYPICAL AREAS NORTHEAST OF LAKES ERIE AND
ONTARIO DUE TO TERRAIN FUNNELING. THE STRONGEST ISALLOBARIC
FALL/RISE COUPLET AND STRATOSPHERIC PV INTRUSION WILL REMAIN WELL
NORTHWEST OF THE AREA ACROSS THE CENTRAL LAKES...WHICH IS TYPICALLY
TOO FAR REMOVED TO REALIZE THE STRONGEST MIXING POTENTIAL HERE. THE
CIPS ANALOG PAGE FROM SAINT LOUIS UNIVERSITY RETURNS EVENTS THAT HAD
MAINLY SUB-WARNING CRITERIA WINDS. APRIL IS NOT A FAVORED MONTH
CLIMATOLOGICALLY FOR WIND EVENTS ALTHOUGH THEY ARE NOT
UNPRECEDENTED. AT THIS TIME IT APPEARS THE NEGATIVES OUTWEIGH THE
POSITIVES FOR A WIND EVENT...SO HAVE CHOSEN TO HOLD OFF ON A HIGH
WIND WATCH FOR NOW.

FRIDAY NIGHT WINDS WILL DIMINISH AS THE SURFACE LOW PULLS AWAY INTO
THE CANADIAN MARITIMES. A SECONDARY MID LEVEL TROUGH AND WEAK
SURFACE FRONT WILL DROP SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE LOWER LAKES LATE FRIDAY
NIGHT AND SATURDAY. THIS MAY PRODUCE A FEW RAIN AND WET SNOW SHOWERS
ACROSS THE AREA...BUT ANY AMOUNTS WILL BE VERY LIMITED WITH NO SNOW
ACCUMULATION EXPECTED. IT WILL BE MUCH COOLER SATURDAY WITH HIGHS IN
THE MID TO UPPER 40S AT LOWER ELEVATIONS AND UPPER 30S TO LOWER 40S
ACROSS HIGHER TERRAIN AS 850MB TEMPS DROP TO AROUND -5C.

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
THE COOL DOWN ON SATURDAY WILL ONLY LAST FOR A DAY...WITH THE
AIRMASS QUICKLY MODERATING AGAIN ON SUNDAY WITH HIGH PRESSURE
BRINGING A RETURN TO SUNSHINE. THIS SHOULD ALLOW TEMPS TO RECOVER
INTO THE 50S IN MOST AREAS...WITH 60 POSSIBLE IN THE NORMALLY WARMER
GENESEE VALLEY. THE HIGH BUILDS OFF THE EASTERN SEABOARD BY MONDAY
AND ALLOWS FOR EVEN MILDER AIR TO BUILD INTO THE REGION. THE GFS
BRINGS A WEAK...MAINLY DRY TROUGH ACROSS THE AREA MONDAY WHILE THE
ECMWF IS A LITTLE STRONGER...PRODUCING A FEW SHOWERS ALONG THE
BOUNDARY. FOR NOW WILL STICK WITH THE GFS SOLUTION AND KEEP
CONTINUITY OF A DRY FORECAST MONDAY.

LATER TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY BOTH THE 12Z ECMWF AND GFS BRING A
WETTER PATTERN INTO OUR REGION WITH A TROUGH MOVING TOWARDS THE OHIO
VALLEY AND WESTERN LAKES FORCING BROAD WARM ADVECTION AND MOISTURE
TRANSPORT INTO THE AREA. THIS WILL BRING THE NEXT CHANCE OF RAIN
SHOWERS...BUT TEMPERATURES WILL BE ABOVE NORMAL DESPITE THE ADDED
CLOUD COVER AND RAIN CHANCES.

LOOKING A LITTLE FARTHER AHEAD...TEMPERATURES LOOK TO RUN ABOVE
NORMAL FOR MOST IF NOT ALL OF NEXT WEEK...WITH MOST DAYS IN THE 60S
AND POSSIBLY SOME DAYS IN THE 70S. THERE WILL BE SOME RAIN AT
TIMES...BUT AT LEAST A WARM RAIN. THIS WILL ALL BE COURTESY OF A
FUNDAMENTAL FLIP IN THE PATTERN...WITH A PERSISTENT LONGWAVE TROUGH
DEVELOPING ACROSS THE NORTHERN ROCKIES WHICH WILL IN TURN FORCE A
RIDGE ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN UNITED STATES...THE OPPOSITE OF
THE PATTERN FOR MUCH OF THE WINTER AND EARLY SPRING.

&&

.AVIATION /07Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
A SATURATED AIRMASS BELOW 10K FT WILL REMAIN IN PLACE ACROSS ALL OF
THE REGION THIS MORNING WITH A STALLED SURFACE TROUGH EXTENDING
ACROSS WESTERN AND NORTHERN NEW YORK. EXPECT IFR TO CONTINUE ACROSS
THE NIAGARA FRONTIER AND ACROSS THE SOUTHERN TIER WITH MVFR CIGS
FOUND ACROSS THE EASTERN LAKE ONTARIO REGION AND PARTS OF THE FINGER
LAKES REGION.

AFTER 12Z LOW PRESSURE OVER THE PLAINS STATES WILL LIFT
NORTHEASTWARD INTO THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES...WHILE PUSHING
A WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY NORTHWARD ACROSS WESTERN AND NORTH CENTRAL
NEW YORK. GUIDANCE INDICATES SOUTHEASTERLY DOWNSLOPE FLOW WILL BEGIN
TO LIFT CIGS FROM IFR TO MVFR AFTER 12Z. EXPECT ADDITIONAL
OCCASIONAL SHOWERS TO ACCOMPANY THE ADVANCING FRONT...WITH GENERAL
MVFR CONDITIONS CONTINUING THROUGH MOST OF THE DAY.

AFTER 00Z CIGS ARE FORECAST TO LIFT TO VFR WITH SHRA ACTIVITY
EXCEPT ACROSS THE SOUTHERN TIER AND EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO.
TOWARD 06Z TONIGHT...A DEVELOPING LOW LEVEL JET MAY ALSO INTRODUCE
SOME LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR CONCERNS ACROSS PORTIONS OF WESTERN NEW
YORK.

OUTLOOK...
FRIDAY...OCCASIONAL SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS WITH
ATTENDANT MVFR/IFR AT TIMES. LLWS ALSO LIKELY THURSDAY NIGHT INTO
FRIDAY MORNING...WITH WINDY CONDITIONS THEN DEVELOPING FOR THE
REMAINDER OF FRIDAY.
SATURDAY...VFR/MVFR WITH A CHANCE OF RAIN SHOWERS ACROSS THE LOWER
ELEVATIONS...WHICH MAY BE MIXED WITH SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS THE HIGHER
TERRAIN.
SUNDAY AND MONDAY...VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
A TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER LAKE ONTARIO WILL MAINTAIN
ADVISORY-LEVEL CONDITIONS ALONG THE SOUTHWEST SHORE THROUGH THIS
MORNING.

LOW PRESSURE LIFTING ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES AND INTO QUEBEC FRIDAY
WILL BRING A PERIOD OF STRONGER SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS...WITH HIGH-END
ADVISORY-WORTHY WINDS LIKELY ON BOTH LAKES BEHIND A COLD FRONT.
THERE IS ALSO AT LEAST SOME POTENTIAL FOR LOWER-END GALES.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
FOR MOST OF THE AREA...THE VARIOUS PERIODS OF RAIN THIS WEEK WILL BE
LIMITED ENOUGH AND SPREAD OUT ENOUGH TO ONLY RESULT IN MODEST RISES
ON AREA CREEKS AND RIVERS.

THE ONE EXCEPTION IS THE NORTH COUNTRY WHERE SIGNIFICANT SNOWPACK
STILL REMAINS ACROSS THE TUG HILL AND WESTERN ADIRONDACKS. MUCH
WARMER TEMPERATURES LATER THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY WILL HASTEN
SNOWMELT...AND THE SYSTEM LATER THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WILL BRING A
HEALTHY AMOUNT OF RAINFALL AS WELL. RAINFALL AMOUNTS OVER THE NEXT
TWO DAYS MAY EXCEED ONE INCH EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO. RUNOFF FROM THE
RAIN AND RAPID SNOWMELT WILL RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT RISES FIRST ALONG
THE SMALLER STREAMS AND CREEKS THAT DRAIN THE TUG HILL AND WESTERN
ADIRONDACKS LATER THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY. THE HIGHER WATER WILL
THEN FILTER DOWN INTO THE LARGER RIVERS. THE HIGHEST WATER LEVELS ON
THE UPPER BLACK RIVER AND MOOSE RIVER WOULD LIKELY BE REACHED
SATURDAY...AND NOT UNTIL SUNDAY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK FOR THE SLOW
RESPONDING LOWER BLACK RIVER.

MMEFS ENSEMBLE GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO SUGGEST THE POTENTIAL FOR MINOR
FLOOD STAGE TO BE REACHED AT SOME POINTS EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO. GIVEN
THE FORECAST QPF AND EXPECTED RAPID SNOWMELT...WE HAVE ISSUED A
FLOOD WATCH FOR EAST OF LAKE ONTARIO. THIS IS PRIMARILY FOR THE
RIVERS AND CREEKS WHICH DRAIN THE TUG HILL PLATEAU AND WESTERN
ADIRONDACKS.
