Area forecast discussion, Apr 25, 5:01 PM EDT, 2 hours 41 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
501 PM EDT Thu Apr 25 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
A storm system will spread a soaking rain across our region tonight
and tomorrow. Rain showers will remain across the region tomorrow
night and early Saturday, with cooler air following this system
transitioning the rain showers over to higher elevation snow showers
late Friday night and Saturday morning. After a brief break from the
precipitation Saturday afternoon, another system will bring
additional light rain and snow showers to our region Saturday night
and Sunday morning.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
High pressure over New England late this afternoon will
continue to fade to the east, allowing clouds to increase across
the region this evening.

Water Vapor imagery this afternoon displays two shortwaves, one a
northern branch open wave near northern MN, while a second southern
stream closed wave is nearing the Lower Ohio Valley from MO/AR.
These two features will phase tonight, creating a deep negatively
tilted upper level trough.

Satellite imagery displays copious amounts of moisture streaming
northward ahead of this southern jet stream closed low this
afternoon, and this moisture will increase our PWATS to around 1.25
inches tonight and tomorrow.

Radar imagery displays light rain showers across southern OH/PA this
afternoon and this activity will push northward towards the Southern
Tier this early evening. The steadier rain will not arrive until a
few hours later...this along the nose of a 50 knot LLJ. Isentropic
lift, beneath the right entrance region of a 120 knot 250 hPa jet
that will be zonally stretched across southern Ontario and southern
Quebec will bring favorable lift to support widespread rain.

Steady rain will spread across the CWA tonight, and continue through
the day Friday as a surface low tracks across WNY and towards
southern Canada. Ahead of this surface low ceiling heights will
lower, with low clouds and fog likely across the higher terrain.
Some patches of fog are also possible across the lower elevations as
well.

Convergence along the LLJ may push rainfall rates up to a quarter of
an inch per hour for a few hours late overnight across far western
portions of WNY...and then Friday across the Finger Lakes/Eastern
Lake Ontario region. Otherwise this will be a steady, soaking rain
event, that will have rainfall rates increase again Friday
morning/early afternoon as a baroclinic boundary tightens and moves
across the region. This rain will raise creek and stream flows that
should remain within their banks.

Tomorrow as the deepening surface low tracks from WNY to just north
of Lake Ontario and then towards western Quebec, winds will quickly
veer from SE/S to SW/W. While it will remain relatively mild ahead
of the surface low, with temperatures in the lower 60s, strong cold
air advection behind the surface low will begin to lower these
temperatures through the day from west to east. By late afternoon
many areas to the west of the Genesee Valley will be down into the
mid 40s.

There may be a brief window for some fog to form off Lake Erie
around midday tomorrow as a 240 wind flow develops. This wind, and a
saturated atmosphere over the still ice covered NE end of Lake Erie
may bring fog in across the City of Buffalo and surrounding suburbs.
As the wind continues to veer to westerly this fog concern will
diminish by late afternoon.

Rain will taper off to showers Friday as the leading edge of colder
air pushes across the region. Temperatures will continue to fall
through the night, with lows Friday night down into the low to mid
30s. Thermal profiles suggest that rain will mix with snow showers
across WNY. With a lobe of moisture continuing the chances for
precipitation late Friday night, and 850 hPa temperatures dropping
towards -6C...the higher terrain above 1600 feet may receive a
slushy coating of snow by Saturday morning.

Overall precipitation for this event, from tonight through Friday
night will average around an inch across far western WNY (closer to
the passing surface low), and up to an inch and a quarter across the
Eastern Lake Ontario region where an upslope SE/S flow should aid in
maximizing rainfall. For the Genesee Valley and Finger Lakes area,
precipitation totals will likely remain below an inch for most
areas.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
The storm system Saturday will move slowly from northern New
York into New England. Pressure gradient across the area
combined with cold air advection will keep west-northwest winds
gusty with most areas gusting in the 35-45 mph range. Lingering
moist cyclonic flow in wake of system will keep precipitation
going through at least the morning and perhaps through the
afternoon in favored upslope areas, with some wet snow across
higher elevations during the morning. It will be a rather chilly
day with high temperatures only in the lower to mid 40s, but it
feel much colder with the wind factored in. Any lingering
rain/snow showers will end by early Saturday evening, as narrow
surface-based ridging and drier air briefly crests across our
region with some partial clearing taking place.

Saturday night, a potent and compact mid-level short wave will zip
through the Great Lakes region. This wave is modeled across the
board to feature very strong system relative isentropic ascent, and
an impressive trowal within a strengthening deformation zone. The
current forecast surface low track, just south of the New York
State border will allow for a developing northerly flow component
which will be key in lowering surface dewpoints. Given forecast
thermodynamics and timing, suspect that a move more toward
rain/snow or even all snow at least for higher elevations might
be needed. If this is in indeed the case, the general model
liquid precipitation consensus of near a half inch or more is a
bit concerning. Probably will need some finer adjustment as we
move closer to the event with some mesoscale modeling. For now,
will hedge the higher elevations a bit higher on snowfall
amounts in the 2-3" range, but this might need to be nudged even
further. Stay Tuned.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
The long term period starts with model guidance fairly well
clustered together with ridging quickly shifting to the east of
the area on Monday and being replaced by high speed upper flow
from the WSW aloft. One wave will enter the picture by late
Monday and progress through the area, resulting in an upward
bump in precipitation chances with it. Beyond that time, model
guidance has substantial difficulty defining the timeliness of
additional fast-moving waves in the broad WSW flow aloft. As a
result, PoPs were generally built using a blended model concept
that favors a bit higher PoPs over the southern half of the area
than the northern half of the area during the time frame.
Regardless, the preponderance of guidance suggests that we will
generally remain on the cool side of the surface boundary these
systems will be tracking down, and as a result, temperatures
were generally favored near or below normal.

&&

.AVIATION /21Z THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
High clouds will result in widespread VFR flight conditions
through at least 00Z. AFter this, conditions will begin to
deteriorate between 00Z and 06Z across the region as a steady,
soaking rainfall advances into the region from the Ohio Valley.
As the lower atmosphere saturates, ceiling heights will diminish
to MVFR/IFR...with lower clouds/fog bringing flight visibility
restrictions across higher terrain (KJHW).

Poor flight conditions of IFR and MVFR will remain late tonight and
through tomorrow as a surface low tracks across the region.

In advance of the surface low, a LLJ will bring some LLWS to the
western TAF sites. As the low passes across the region tomorrow,
winds will quickly veer from S/SE to SW/W through the day. Cold air
advection behind the surface low will aid in producing wind gusts up
to 25 knots tomorrow.

Outlook...

Friday night and Saturday morning...MVFR/IFR with rain ending as
scattered showers.

Saturday afternoon...A return to VFR.

Sunday...MVFR or IFR conditions possible with rain and snow.

Monday...VFR.

Monday Night and Tuesday...Mainly VFR, with chances for rain
showers and associated MVFR.

&&

.MARINE...
A storm system will track across the Eastern Great Lakes tonight and
tomorrow. SE to S winds ahead of this system may briefly reach SCA
thresholds on the eastern end of Lake Ontario Friday morning.
Otherwise the stronger winds, and higher wave heights will come with
cold air advection behind the exiting storm system later Friday and
into the weekend.

Conditions will deteriorate to SCA through the second half of Friday
with first westerly winds increasing, and then wave heights Friday
night. There will be at least gale force gusts if not briefly
sustained gales on Lake Ontario late Friday night and into Saturday
morning.

Winds will begin to diminish through the day Saturday...with waves
likely to remain at or above SCA thresholds into Saturday night.
