What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this river flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Buffalo, NY wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Nov 5, 6:52 AM EST, 1 hour 20 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Nov 5, 6:52 AM EST, 1 hour 20 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
652 AM EST Sun Nov 5 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
A warm front will cross the area early today with a few rounds of
showers and possible thunderstorms. A cold front will then slowly
cross the area tonight and early Monday with more rain and a
few thunderstorms. Some of this rain may be heavy. High pressure
will then bring mainly dry and cool weather Monday night and
through most of next week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Rounds of showers and embedded thunderstorms continue to move
northeast across the region this morning as isentropic lift
increases aided by mid-level shortwave, weak warm front and nose
of a low-level jet. The most concentrated activity should be
through this morning, before the activity becomes more scattered
by afternoon, as best lift moves off to the north.

It will be an unseasonably warm day with temperatures reaching
the the mid 60s along the lake plains aided by downslope flow
within the warm sector, with upper 50s to lower 60s elsewhere.

Deep southwesterly flow within the warm sector will continue to
funnel higher theta-e air into the area tonight, as precipitable
water values increase to near one and a half inches over western
New York. While the greatest threat of severe weather will
remain south and west of the area in the better pool of
instability, there remains a small risk of strong to severe
storms, mainly across southwestern New york state, but perhaps
as far north as Lake Ontario as large scale ascent coupled with
decent mid level lapse rates could support strong convection
anywhere within the wedge of marginal/modest instability that
is able to spread into the area tonight. The main hazard appears
to be damaging wind gusts, especially in any organized line
segments that develop.

Very heavy downpours can also be expected with stronger storms
given the high precipitable water values. However, better threat
of widespread heavy rainfall appears to be focused south of
area where better cell training will likely set up early tonight
as an area of upper level diffluence develops over the Ohio
Valley, with low level forcing along approaching cold front
also settling into this region during this time frame. But due
to the uncertainty of where the axis of heaviest rainfall will
be, flood watch will remain in place for the entire area.

The rain and scattered storms will remain likely into the
overnight hours before cold front sweeps through the area
with passage of upper level shortwave to the north of the Great
Lakes, the greatest coverage of significant convection will
shift decidedly southeast by Monday morning.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
By daybreak on Monday a cold front should be somewhere near a
Watertown to Wellsville line with steady rain continuing along this
frontal boundary. The front will continue to move quickly to the
east with rain tapering to showers and giving way to mainly dry
conditions and partial sunshine by Monday afternoon. Northwesterly
cold advection is expected to bring a non-diurnal temperature trend
for the day with temps falling through the 50s into the 40s by days
end.

High pressure will expand across the eastern Great Lakes Monday
night, with dry weather and light northeasterly winds. However,
temperatures aloft will cool enough for some lake effect clouds, and
a sharpening mid-level boundary will result in increasing cloud
cover late Monday night. Variable cloud cover will make overnight
low temperatures tricky, with east of Lake Ontario the coldest where
mostly clear skies and light winds should allow temperatures to fall
well into the 20s. Elsewhere cloud cover should limit radiational
cooling some, with lows in the upper 20s to lower 30s.

Cloud cover will linger Tuesday which will limit daytime heating
resulting in highs in the lower to mid 40s. Model consensus tracks a
shortwave to our north and a wave of low pressure to our south late
Tuesday, which keeps our area dry despite the cloud cover. By late
Tuesday night clouds associated with the shortwave will slide to the
east providing an opportunity for radiational cooling with
temperatures falling below freezing in most areas Tuesday night.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
There is fairly high confidence that our temperatures will average
below normal during this period...as the infamous polar vortex will
direct a relatively quick shot of very cold air towards our region.
The large arctic mid level circulation will initially be centered in
the vcnty of Hudson Bay...but as we push to the end of the week...
the feature will make its way across the northern reaches of
Ontario. This scenario will allow a chunk of <-20c H85 air to charge
southeast towards our region. The good news is that the bulk of the
ECMWF ensembles suggest that the core of the coldest air will pass
to our north during which time it will have time to modify to the
minus teens c. The upshot of this while scenario is that it will
become cold...but not abnormally so. Since the cold air will be
accompanied by a relatively dry northwest flow...there is little (if
any) concern for significant lake snows. Breaking this all down...

The medium range ensembles are in good agreement as we start this
period...as surface based ridging is forecast to extend from the
central plains to the Lower Great Lakes and New England. While it
will certainly be chilly enough aloft to support some instability
over the lakes...a lowering subsidence cap from 5k ft and a very dry
synoptic environment will severely limit any lake response.
Therefore fair dry weather will be the rule Wednesday and Thursday.

After this point...the mainstream guidance packages go in separate
directions. The 00Z GFS maintains a low amplitude pattern over the
eastern portion of the continent...while the GGEM and ECMWF based
ensembles remain consistent with depicting significant amplification
of the pattern. Will base the package from this point forward on the
a mix of the ECMWF and HPC...which will be a notably colder solution
than that from the GFS ensembles.

That being said...a very robust shortwave is forecast to dig
southeast from the Canadian prairies across the Upper Great Lakes
Thursday. This will drive a strengthening cold front in our
direction...with the front forecast to make its way across the Lower
Great Lakes Thursday night. We can expect at least scattered snow
showers Thursday night. A burst of snow is not out of the question
given the projected strength of the frontal passage.

The core of the very cold air will pass just to our north during the
day Friday...while an expansive area of high pressure will build
across all of the Great Lakes. Scattered snow showers will be found
southeast of both Lake Erie and Ontario...but again...a relatively
dry synoptic environment should limit any accumulations.

As the surface high drifts across our region Friday night and
Saturday...the lake snow showers will weaken to flurries. The bulk
of the region though will experience fair but chilly weather.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
A warm front will cross the area early today, with showers and
embedded thunderstorms moving across the area from southwest to
northeast. The heavier showers will produce areas of MVFR CIGS.
Increasing low level moisture will lower CIGS to MVFR and IFR
across the higher terrain this morning. SSW downslope flow will
likely force the lake plains TAF sites to remain VFR this
morning.

Through the day today, scattered shower activity within the warm
sector will produce areas of IFR for the higher terrain, and
areas of MVFR at lower elevations.

Outlook...
Tonight...Widespread IFR with heavy rain. Chance of
thunderstorms.
Monday...becoming mainly VFR.
Tuesday through Thursday...Mainly VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
Moderate southeasterly winds will become south today. Fresh
southerly winds will produce Small Craft Advisory conditions on Lake
Erie and the east half of Lake Ontario. The fresh southerly winds
will continue through this evening before diminishing with a cold
frontal passage late tonight and early Monday morning.
