Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
227 PM EDT Mon Jul 2 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
While the passage of a weak cool front tonight will take the edge
off the heat and humidity on Tuesday...temperatures will remain well
above normal through at least Thursday. The heat wave will come to
an end late in the week when a stronger cold front will usher in a
noticeable lowering of the heat and humidity for Friday through the
weekend.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY/...
While it will remain quite uncomfortable tonight with warm and muggy
conditions persisting...we need to address a more imminent issue...
that being strong thunderstorms.

An oppressively warm and humid airmass over our region will serve as
a perfect breeding ground for thunderstorms with torrential rains
late this afternoon and evening. A lake breeze/pre frontal trough
propagating to the east from Chautauqua and southern Erie counties
(18z) will focus the 2500 j/kg of CAPE in this region with the main
threat coming from training cells with torrential downpours. While
the individual cells are moving northeast at roughly 20 knots...the
line itself is only propagating to the east at <15 knots. This will
encourage cells to train over the same area...and with PWAT values
approaching 2 inches...localized areas with impressive rainfall will
be likely. Fortunately...the cells have shown growth to more than
25k ft...which should remove the more threatening aspect of warm
rain cores and thus more efficient rain processes. On the other
hand...the high amount of mixed phase hydrometeors within an airmass
with CAPES >2000 j/kg should favor storms with a higher amount of
lightning than usual.

As the initial line of strong thunderstorms moves east of the
Southern Tier and western Finger Lakes late this afternoon...our
attention will turn to the weak cool front that will limp through
during the overnight. Initially...a strong lake breeze will hold
back the front across southern Ontario. As this deterrent is removed
after 00z...the front will ease across our forecast area...possibly
generating some more scattered showers and weaker thunderstorms.
This activity should wane after midnight and be confined to the
Southern Tier.

Otherwise...tonight will feature a general increase in clouds with
very warm and muggy conditions remaining in place. Overnight lows
will generally range from 65 to 70.

On Tuesday...the remnants of the frontal boundary will stall and
generally wash out across the northern tier counties of
Pennsylvania.  The old boundary may be close enough to the Southern
Tier to support some midday and afternoon convection...so will
maintain low chc pops for that area. Meanwhile...the bulk of
western and especially the North Country will enjoy dry weather with
nominally lower temperatures and humidity levels. Rather than having
apparent temps in the vicinity of 100...we can anticipate max heat
index values (app temps) to be within a few degrees of 90. This will
mean that the heat advisory and excessive heat warning headlines will
be allowed to expire this evening.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
High pressure will slide into New England Tuesday night with mainly
dry weather across our region. The exception is across the western
Southern Tier where there may be some lingering diurnally driven
showers or thunderstorms in a still quite moist environment. Low
temperatures will be in the mid to upper 60s, except lower 60s east
of Lake Ontario.

Wednesday and Thursday, a frontal boundary will wave back to the
north across the forecast area, bringing a return to the hotter,
more humid airmass. Dew points will climb back through the 60s to
the low 70s in spots for Wednesday and Thursday. Daily high
temperatures will top out in the mid 80s to lower 90s, with
Wednesday the hotter of the two days. Heat indices should climb back
into the 95 to 100F range which may require heat advisories for the
4th of July holiday.

Along with the increasing humidity, and the weak frontal boundary
stalled across the region, expect to see scattered pop-up afternoon
thunderstorms. These will be mainly south of Lake Ontario on
Wednesday, and then the typical inland from the lake breezes
locations on Thursday as southwesterly flow returns ahead of an
actual cold front. Any storms that do form will be capable of
producing very localized flash flooding given the very slow, almost
station storm motions, high PW content of the airmass, and the deep
warm cloud depth making for efficient heavy rain processes. More
sultry nighttime lows will return Wednesday night, with the higher
humidity and many areas not getting below 70.

12Z model consensus brings a cold front across the region late
Thursday night, with showers and thunderstorms likely ahead of
and with the frontal passage.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
The end to our heat wave will come Friday into Saturday as a cold
front finally plows across the region. While Friday will still be
warm and humid, it will be moderated by the increasing cloud cover
and thunderstorm chances as the cold front approaches. By Saturday,
behind the front, morning 850 mb temperatures will be knocked back
to the +10C range across the area with a cool and dry fetch of
continental Canadian air into the region. This will result in
afternoon highs much closer to normal for this time of year, in the
upper 70s to near 80, with dew points in the more pleasant 50s. The
Canadian surface high will build across the region Saturday night,
making for a cool and dry night. By Sunday the high will move off
the New England coast, with some returning light southerly winds and
airmass modification pushing the mercury up a couple degrees over
Saturday, but still infinitely more comfortable than this past
weekend.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
While VFR conditions will be found over the vast majority of the
region for the remainder of the afternoon and first half of
tonight...fairly widespread storms will be found outside of the
Niagara Frontier (lake shadowed). The storms could be rather strong
across the Southern Tier and Finger Lakes region where they will
contain torrential rainfall and frequent lightning. These storms
could briefly produce IFR to MVFR conditions at KJHW and KELZ.

As we push through this evening into the overnight...a weak cool
front will push across the region. This feature could generate a few
more showers and weaker storms...and will likely have a swath of
lowering cigs near and in the wake of the front. Expect cigs to
lower to MVFR levels for most sites later tonight...with IFR
conditions possible across the Southern Tier after 08z.

On Tuesday...any leftover IFR to MVFR cigs across the Southern Tier
and portions of the Finger Lakes will give way to VFR conditions.

Outlook...
Tuesday night...VFR.
Wednesday through Thursday...Mainly VFR with scattered thunderstorms
each afternoon and evening inland from the Great Lakes, with
associated brief/local MVFR to IFR conditions.
Friday...VFR/MVFR. Some showers and thunderstorms likely.
Saturday...VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
A weak surface pressure gradient will remain in place across the
Lower Great Lakes through mid week. This will favor continued light
to occasionally moderate winds with negligible wave heights.

The only concern will be strong thunderstorms that impact the east
end of Lake Ontario during the remainder of this afternoon. Be
prepared if special marine warnings are issued.
