NWS Buffalo, NY wrote its last area forecast discussion before this small craft advisory went out at Apr 13, 7:47 PM EDT, 41 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 13, 7:47 PM EDT, 41 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
747 PM EDT Sat Apr 13 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure will track from eastern Texas into the Ohio Valley
Sunday and then into northern New England Monday. A soaking rain
will develop Sunday and continue Sunday night, with more
intermittent light rain lasting through Monday. Temperatures will
cool to below normal early next week before warming again later in
the week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
Tonight, surface high pressure will briefly build east towards the
eastern Great Lakes before retreating into southern Quebec by early
Sunday. Warm advection and moisture transport will begin to increase
out ahead of the system moving into the Ohio Valley, supporting an
increase in mid/high clouds from southwest to northeast tonight. Any
rain should hold off until around or just after daybreak. Lows will
be in the upper 30s in most areas, with some low to mid 30s across
the North Country.

Sunday and Sunday night a deep mid level trough will advance out of
the Midwest and into the central Great Lakes. Meanwhile a surface
low will move from the Ohio Valley Sunday to Lake Erie Sunday
evening before moving down the Saint Lawrence Valley late Sunday
night and Monday. Forcing for rainfall will come in several distinct
waves. The first will be a surge of strong warm advection/isentropic
upglide and moisture transport supported by a 45+ knot low level
jet. The warm advection rain will reach the western Southern Tier
around or shortly after daybreak Sunday, spreading quickly northeast
across the remainder of the area through midday. The best coverage
of warm advection rain will be across Western NY, and especially the
Niagara Frontier where a sharp near surface baroclinic zone will set
up. Precipitation will be much lighter and more intermittent in
nature with eastern extent, removed from the better forcing.

The next phase of support will cross the region from west to east
Sunday night as a pre-frontal trough and convectively enhanced mid
level shortwave moves into the eastern Great Lakes. Quality moisture
will be in place by then with PWAT exceeding 1 inch. Strong forcing
from DPVA ahead of the shortwave and strong convergence along the
pre-frontal trough will support a broken to solid line of convective
showers moving from west to east across the region. Enough
instability may move into the area to support a few thunderstorms as
well, mainly south of Lake Ontario.

Speaking of thunderstorms, SPC has a Marginal Risk of severe storms
into the western Southern Tier and western Finger Lakes. Strong
low/mid level flow and strong synoptic scale support are all there.
The severe weather risk will be conditional upon sufficient boundary
layer destabilization. Latest 12Z NAM suggests 500-600J/kg of SBCAPE
being advected into the western Southern Tier and western Finger
Lakes during the evening, and this may be sufficient to support a
low risk of damaging winds if a linear storm mode is realized. Some
recent runs of CAMS guidance suggest this possibility.

The rainfall forecast is quite difficult, given that all of the
heavier rainfall will be associated with deep moist convection.
Initially on Sunday the only heavy rain potential will be across the
Niagara Frontier where isentropic ascent will be enhanced by a sharp
low level boundary. Sunday night the heavy rain will be associated
with a fairly fast moving band of showers and possible storms moving
west to east across the area. Given the convective nature of the
rain, totals will vary widely with 0.75-1.25 inches on average. A
few areas may exceed 1.25 inches locally in heavier convection and
also across the Niagara Frontier. The heaviest amounts will likely
miss the eastern Lake Ontario region where snowpack remains across
the higher terrain. The forecast amounts do not support any
organized flood potential at this time, but trends will continue to
be monitored.

Temperatures will be intriguing Sunday. The warm sector will mix
into the Southern Tier and western Finger Lakes with temperatures
rising into the upper 50s to lower 60s. Low level northeast flow may
stay locked in from Rochester to the Niagara Frontier including
Buffalo, and also across the North Country. This will likely keep
temperatures in the 40s, if not low 40s, through the evening.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
On Monday, the axis of an upper level trough will be moving east
across the Northeast US while a still deepening surface low moves
into Northern New England.  Cold air advection throughout the
atmospheric column together with a northwest upslope flow and plenty
of low and mid level moisture should allow for at least a likelihood
of showers, cloudy skies, and chilly afternoon highs about 10F below
normal (which should be in the mid 50s for this time of year).

The generally light precipitation, possibly ending with a few
flakes, will finally come to an end Monday night as an upper level
ridge moves toward the region along with corresponding surface high
pressure. The airmass will dry out fairly quickly aloft, with low
clouds dissipating as well during the evening.  The result may result
in temperatures dropping to around the freezing mark overnight.

On Tuesday and lasting into Tuesday night, the next system may
already by starting to impact the region. The origins of this system
are still crossing south of the Aleutian Islands, with an eventual
evolution that is kind of similar to the last large-scale synoptic
system that developed over the central portion of the US earlier in
the week. As the next upper level PV anomaly moves southeast into
the Intermountain West, it will spawn a surface low east of the
Rockies.  A far reaching warm front will extend east all the way to
NYS, with an arm of precipitation (mostly rain except perhaps at the
highest elevation spots) eventually stretching across the region
along a tightening stubborn baroclinic zone.  Eventually, the warm
advection south of the region should win out, but it's too early to
know if this will happen Tuesday night or later on Wednesday.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
On Wednesday, a west to east oriented frontal boundary will extend
across our region. Meanwhile, a closed 500 mb low across the mid-
west will gradually open up and drift towards the Great Lakes
Region. This will provide a southerly flow of moisture which will
interact with the strengthening frontal boundary and cause rain to
spread into the area Wednesday and Wednesday night. There is fairly
good model agreement, enough so to support likely PoPs along the
boundary.

By Thursday, most if not all of our region will be in the warm
sector as this boundary pushes northward into Canada. Depending on
the position of the boundary, there is a small risk of showers, but
the day should be mainly dry and pleasant with high temperatures in
the mid 60s to lower 70s.

As the low tracks across the central Great Lakes and into southern
Ontario, an associated cold/occluded front will move into the area.
However, there is poor model agreement on the strength and timing of
this, which introduces considerably uncertainty into the forecast
for Friday and Saturday. The 12Z GGEM is considerably faster and
stronger than GFS/ECMWF guidance, with the forecast hedging toward
the latter consensus. If this holds, Friday will remain on the warm
side with highs in the 60s (and possibly 70s). This said, some GFS
ensemble members support the much cooler GGEM, so it's possible that
it will turn out to be 10-20 degrees cooler. Either way, there is a
persistent risk of showers with the frontal boundary, and then with
the upper level low/trough. These will most likely be Friday or
Friday night, when there is ample instability to support some
embedded thunderstorms. The front should be through by Saturday
with cooler temperatures in the 50s and a continued risk of
showers.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
VFR conditions will be the rule at area terminals tonight with
thickening mid/high clouds. Otherwise, deepening low pressure system
over eastern Texas will track NE overnight sending copious amounts
of moisture towards the lower lakes as it steams northward into the
Ohio Valley by Sunday morning. Rain will reach the western Southern
Tier by 12Z Sunday, spreading northeast across the rest of the area
by 18Z Sunday. The best coverage of rain on Sunday will be near Lake
Erie from DKK to KBUF and KIAG, with lighter, more intermittent rain
farther east.

CIGS will deteriorate to MVFR/IFR across Western NY by Sunday
afternoon as the low levels saturate. MVFR to IFR VSBY may also
develop in BR or areas of fog at KBUF-KIAG where low level cold air
remains in place, and possibly across the hilltops of the Southern
Tier.

Outlook...

Sunday night...MVFR/IFR with showers and possibly a few
thunderstorms.
Monday...MVFR with light showers.
Tuesday...VFR.
Wednesday and Thursday...Mainly VFR. A chance of showers.

&&

.MARINE...
High pressure will bring a brief lull in the wind tonight and early
Sunday morning. Low pressure will then move from the Ohio Valley
Sunday across the eastern Great Lakes Sunday night, then down the
Saint Lawrence Valley Monday. Northeast winds will increase ahead of
this system Sunday and Sunday evening, bringing another round of
