Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
556 PM EDT Sat Jun 1 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will slowly move southeast across the region tonight.
Several broken lines of showers and thunderstorms are expected to
develop and move through ahead and with this boundary.  Cool weather
will follow with temperatures below normal on Sunday and
particularly Monday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
The initial first round of convection over the Western Southern Tier
has moved south of NY/PA boarder this evening. The next (second)
round of convection is on our door step and will enter Western NY
within the hour. This round of convection has weakened a bit as it
has work east across the colder and stable air mass over Lake Erie.
However, with that said confidence is lower on the overall evolution
of this second line; which could reignite as it progresses inland.
Regardless, this weakened broken line should still hold enough
together to bring a round of heavy showers and possibly an
embedded stronger storm as it moves east and then into Central
NY tonight.

Finally, a third line (the weakest of the three) should move through
the region overnight/toward the morning effectively as the cold
front. This should begin a period of drying and cooling on Sunday,
although light showers may linger initially in the still nearly
saturated low level and upslope forced airmass (WNW flow).  Given
some afternoon clearing, there may be an E-W lake breeze convergence
zone near the Thruway from ~KBUF-KROC late in the afternoon.
Otherwise, the remainder of the region should see increasingly clear
skies save for some leftover strato cumulus with a capped airmass
near ~5000'.

Although the cold front will have completely moved through the
region by the end of the day, daytime highs should still be able to
reach the mid or upper 60s areawide.  But with dewpoints dropping
from near 60 down into the 40s, it should feel slightly chilly for
early June standards toward the end of the day.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
Mainly dry and partly cloudy conditions will prevail during
Sunday evening...before increasing wraparound moisture...
cyclonic flow...and lift attendant to the approach of the main
upper trough axis drives a general increase in cloud cover and
shower potential later Sunday night and Monday morning. The
latter will be most pronounced southeast and east of Lake
Ontario...where some contributions of moisture from Lake Ontario
and increased upsloping will come into play. The shower
coverage should peak sometime Monday morning...before gradually
fading from west to east Monday afternoon and Monday night as
the core of the upper trough slides out across New England and
into the Canadian Maritimes...and as high pressure and drier air
build eastward from the Ohio Valley and central Great Lakes.

All the above said...the big story Sunday night through Monday night
will be a return to well below normal temperatures...as strong cold
advection associated with the digging upper trough drives 850 mb temps
downward to between -1C and -3C Sunday night into Monday...with only
modest recovery of these then subsequently taking place later Monday
and Monday night. This will translate into temperatures mostly falling
into the lower to mid 40s Sunday night and then struggling to get much
above the lower to mid 50s on Monday...with the rather cool readings
further exacerbated by an increasingly brisk westerly to west-northwesterly
wind. The coldest overall temperatures will then come Monday night...
when the axis of the surface ridge will slide across our region and
corresponding radiational cooling of our still rather cool airmass
will result in overnight lows ranging from the upper 30s across interior
portions of the Southern Tier and North Country to the lower to mid
40s elsewhere. Compared to early June normals...such readings will
average 5 to 10 degrees below normal Sunday and Monday nights...and
15 to 20 degrees below average during the day Monday.

Moving on into the last 24 hours of this period...the surface ridge
will slide eastward and out to sea Tuesday and Tuesday night...while
low pressure steadily pushes eastward across Ontario Province. The
developing warm air advection regime in between these two systems
will drive a general increase in cloud cover across our region...
with the passage of a warm front possibly also generating some
isolated to scattered showers for points north of the Southern
Tier. Otherwise temperatures will begin to recover back closer to
normal after the abnormally chilly preceding 36 hours...with daytime
highs on Tuesday climbing back into the lower to mid 60s...and lows
Tuesday night ranging from the upper 40s to lower 50s.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
The longer term portion of the forecast still appears to feature a
return to much more typical temperatures for early June...as the
persistent troughing that has plagued eastern North America for much
of this spring looks to at least temporarily recede northeastward
into northern Canada...while allowing broad/flat ridging to build
eastward across the eastern two-thirds of the nation. This should
translate into daytime highs at least ranging in the 70s Wednesday
through Friday...with end-of-the-week readings possibly reaching
into the 80s should 00z/01 medium range model temperature forecasts
actually come to fruition.

In terms of precipitation chances...the greatest potential for any
convection looks to come Wednesday into Wednesday evening...in tandem
with the approach and passage of either a weak cold front or prefrontal
trough. After that high pressure and relatively drier weather then
looks to return for Thursday and Thursday night...before a broad area
of low pressure slowly approaches the region from the midwest
and brings a chance of showers Friday and Saturday.

&&

.AVIATION /22Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
The second round of convection is on our door step as of 22Z. As
this next area convection moves east it will bring a period of lower
CIGS and VSBYS. Otherwise, areas outside of the convection should
see VFR conditions continue late this evening.

The last line of storms should move across the region overnight as a
cold front. Behind this, some showers may linger with some MVFR/IFR
CIGS into Sunday morning, but most of the low clouds should scatter
out later in the day.  A narrow E-W lake breeze convergent zone may
setup between KBUF-KROC late Sunday.

Outlook... Sunday night...Mainly VFR.
Monday...MVFR with scattered to numerous showers.
Tuesday...Mainly VFR.
Wednesday...MVFR with scattered to numerous showers.
Thursday...Mainly VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
Several rounds of convection will move ESE across the lakes this
evening. Some of the storms may contain hail or gusty winds over
Lake Erie. A cold front will move across the region overnight.  In
the wake of the cold front, westerly winds on Sunday will further
freshen on Lake Ontario. This will support waves that will build to
small craft advisory levels by late afternoon or evening, so small
craft advisories will be likely. The rough conditions on Lake
Ontario are forecast to persist Sunday night through Monday.

&&

.TIDES/COASTAL FLOODING...
A cold front will cross Lake Ontario Sunday morning, with west-
to northwesterly winds increasing to 15 to 30 mph in its wake.
Coupled with cold air advection...this will produce an increase
in wave action from late Sunday and Sunday night through Monday...
before high pressure builds into the region and brings gradually
diminishing winds and waves Monday night and Tuesday.

The combination of the increased wave action and rather high
lake levels will lead to an increased potential for flooding
along the south shore of Lake Ontario from late Sunday into
Tuesday...for which a Lakeshore Flood Watch remains in effect as
outlined below.
