Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
300 PM EST Wed Nov 9 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
Low level moisture will slowly mix out and dissipate this evening,
as with the layer of clouds across the region, leading to a chilly
and frosty night. A stronger cold front will then cross the region
on Friday and usher in a much colder airmass for the first half of
the upcoming weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Postfrontal low level moisture will help to maintain cloudiness
across the region this evening, especially given the cool northerly
flow and upslope lift provided by the higher terrain of the Southern
Tier. The trend through the early afternoon shows a slow erosion
along the south shore of Lake Ontario, then BUFKIT and other
forecast moisture profiles show the best clearing to occur in the
early evening as winds become a little more westerly. Temperatures
will drop with the arrival of clearing and readings will settle to
the middle 30s across the lake plains and to the mid 20s to low 30s
over higher terrain, well inland.

High pressure centered over Missouri ridging northeastward across
the eastern Great Lakes will build slightly into the region, and
tighten the pressure gradient and thus the westerly winds. Winds
will back a bit to southwesterly across the area with the higher
winds across the lake basins and the Niagara Frontier. Temperatures
will recover some on Thursday with highs in the middle 50s to near
60 degrees.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
A tight pressure gradient will be in place across the eastern Great
Lakes Thursday night between seasonably strong low pressure well to
our north over northern Quebec and strong high pressure centered
over Texas. This gradient will support gusty winds in our region
with BUFKIT momentum transfer schemes suggesting even within a warm
air advection regime some of the stronger wind aloft could mix down,
especially in favorable southwesterly flow areas downwind of the
lakes. Looking at peak wind gusts of 30 to 40 mph for a few hours
Thursday evening but can not quite rule of Advisory level winds over
the Niagara Frontier. The winds will help to keep temperatures on
the mild side of normal with lows only slipping into the 40s.

Latest models are a little faster with the timing of a sharp cold
front passage late Thursday night or Friday morning. Still expect a
chance of light rain showers ahead of an along the front where
moisture will be somewhat limited while low and mid level forcing
will be more favorable along the front and mid level vort max.
Expect the warmest temperatures during the morning hours ahead of
the front with readings topping out only in the mid to upper 40s.
Temperatures are then expected to fall through the afternoon hours
into the upper 30s to lower 40s by sunset, in strengthening cold
advection regime behind the front.

There is a chance that showers may still linger Friday afternoon
across the higher terrain of the western Southern Tier and east of
Lake Ontario where cooling profiles may support some mix of light
rain/snow with no accumulation likely. The cold advection behind the
front will also work with a lingering pressure gradient to support a
continuation of gusty winds through Friday with surface gusts of 20-
30 mph.

Very dry air following the front will bring a chilly night Friday
night with temperatures dropping below freezing for most areas.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Seasonably strong Canadian high pressure will drift south of the
Great Lakes across the Ohio Valley into the Southeast states through
the weekend. Cool west to northwest flow on Saturday will keep
temperatures below normal with highs only warming into the upper 30s
to low 40s. Low amplitude mid-level ridging crossing our forecast
area will also keep a dry forecast through the weekend. Another
tightening of the pressure gradient will possibly bring another
period of breezy/gusty winds focused toward Sunday as another but
weaker area of low pressure tracks west to east across James Bay.
This low looks to be too far to the north to support a threat of
high winds for western and central New York but gusts of 25-35 mph
may occur. Southwest flow on Sunday will help to boost temps back
to within a few degrees either side of 50.

Looking into the first half of next week, medium range models show a
broad trough developing over the eastern half of the country with a
few shortwaves working through the flow over the Great Lakes. There
remains some timing differences in models with any moisture axes
cross crossing our region coincident with one or more of these
shortwaves which has led to chance/slight chance of rain showers
Monday night and again Tuesday night into Wednesday. The polar jet
looks to be shifted north of the Great Lakes which should support
temps near normal for mid November through mid week.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Skies will clear from the north as cool and drier air infiltrates
the region. A band of mid and high clouds will cross the region
overnight, but VFR conditions will prevail. High pressure centered
over Missouri will ridge northeastward across the region on
Thursday, increasing the pressure gradient and thus the westerly
winds. Otherwise, expect VFR conditions to persist.

Outlook...
Thursday...VFR.
Friday...VFR/MVFR with a chance of rain showers...which could mix
with snow showers before ending Friday night.
Saturday and Sunday...VFR.
Monday...Chance of late day showers. VFR, MVFR late.

&&

.MARINE...
Small craft conditions along the nearshore waters will diminish
through the evening, thus current small craft advisories will be
allowed to expire accordingly.

A much stronger cold front will cross the Lower Lakes late Thursday
night and early Friday. With a tighter pressure gradient
accompanying this boundary, both the southwesterly to westerly flow
out ahead of the front and the northwesterly flow behind it will
likely reach into the Gale range on Lakes Ontario and Erie. Will
carry a Gale Watch until current Small Craft Advisories expire, then
likely go to Gale Warnings on Thursday afternoon through the night.
As if that's not enough, will probably require the issuance of
another round of small craft advisories for later on in the week as
even colder air and windy conditions follow.

&&

.BUF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
NY...None.
MARINE...Small Craft Advisory until 4 PM EST this afternoon for LEZ040-
         041.
         Gale Watch from Thursday afternoon through Friday morning
