Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
649 AM EDT Mon Jun 1 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
A weak trough will produce a few scattered showers across the North
Country today, otherwise it will be dry and turning a little warmer
for the rest of the area. A warm front will move into the area late
tonight and Tuesday with a few showers. A cold front will then cross
the area Wednesday with additional showers and a few thunderstorms.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
A weak trough is crossing the region early this morning, producing a
few areas of clouds. Another mid level shortwave and surface trough
will move across the North Country this afternoon, the last of
numerous similar features moving through the mean northwest flow
aloft. The uptick in synoptic scale forcing and low level
convergence will interact with modest diurnal instability to produce
a few scattered showers this afternoon across the North Country with
very spotty coverage. Otherwise the rest of the area will stay dry,
with a mix of clouds and sun as a few areas of mid/high clouds
stream across the eastern Great Lakes. Ongoing weak warm advection
will allow temperatures to trend a little warmer than the past few
days. Expect highs to reach the 65-70 degree range in Western NY,
and upper 50s to lower 60s for the North Country.

The mid level shortwave and surface trough will exit the North
Country this evening, with any scattered showers tapering off. A
warm front will reach lower Michigan this evening, then spread
towards the eastern Great Lakes late tonight. Clouds will thicken
and lower ahead of this as warm advection and moisture transport
increase. Rain chances will also increase late tonight, with the
highest chance of rain across far Western NY near the track of a
supporting mid level shortwave and associated DPVA. Another
shortwave will cross eastern Ontario, and may bring a few scattered
showers to the eastern Lake Ontario region toward daybreak Tuesday.
The Genesee Valley and western Finger Lakes look to fall between
these two better areas of forcing, and should stay mainly dry
through daybreak Tuesday. The increase in clouds and ongoing warm
advection will keep temperatures milder than the past few nights.
Expect lows in the low to mid 50s on the lake plains, with mid to
upper 40s in the Southern Tier valleys and east of Lake Ontario.

&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
A warm airmass will build into our region this period, with
increasing amounts of moisture/humidity for Wednesday. This airmass
will be under northwest flow aloft that will keep temperatures in
check, but also bring favorable conditions for shortwaves to pass
across our region, with each shortwave yielding increasing chances
for showers and thunderstorms.

The first shortwave/convection will likely graze SW NYS Tuesday
morning. After this, much of Tuesday may end up dry with just a low
chance for a shower or thunderstorm in the afternoon warmth.

Several more shortwaves will dive across our region Tuesday night
and early Wednesday morning...the first across Lake Ontario and
points eastward...and the second...and about 3 - 6 hours later
across WNY. This second shortwave (MCS) Tuesday night/early
Wednesday morning across SW NYS will be within a moisture rich
environment, with PWATS nearing 1.50 - 1.75" and any thunderstorm
could yield a heavy downpour.

Instability will remain across WNY Wednesday afternoon, and would
expect another round of thunderstorms to blossom with 500 to 1000
J/KG of MUCAPE. Convection would then diminish Wednesday night with
instability becoming lower.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
High pressure will keep conditions dry through early Friday, and as
the upper air pattern becomes more zonal a warm airmass building
across the Plains will expand eastward across our region. This
building airmass combined with lake breeze circulations could be the
focus for a few afternoon showers and thunderstorms Friday.

A weak low pressure system and its associated cold front will push
through our region Friday night with a return to more showers and
possible thunderstorms. This activity will diminish Saturday, though
an upper level trough will keep chances for showers across the Tug
Hill region through Saturday afternoon. This upper level trough will
also bring partly to mostly cloudy afternoon skies that along with a
cooler airmass will bring afternoon highs Saturday around 10 degrees
or so cooler than Friday.

Refreshingly cooler and drier air mass will then continue through
the end of the weekend.

&&

.AVIATION /12Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
A weak trough is producing a few areas of clouds early this morning.
The trough will exit this morning, with VFR prevailing for the day
as a few batches of high clouds cross the region. Another weak
trough may bring a few scattered showers to the North Country this
afternoon, with sparse coverage and mainly VFR. It will turn breezy
this afternoon across Western NY, with gusts of around 25 knots
northeast of Lake Erie.

A warm front will move into the western Great Lakes this evening,
then spread towards the eastern Great Lakes late tonight. This will
bring thickening and lowering clouds to the region overnight, with a
few showers developing by around 09Z Tuesday. The low levels will
initially remain unsaturated, with mainly VFR conditions prevailing
even as the showers arrive.

Outlook...

Tuesday and Wednesday...Areas of MVFR with showers likely at times.
Thursday and Friday...Mainly VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
Another weak trough will cross the North Country today. WSW winds
will increase to the south of this feature, with very choppy
conditions developing on Lake Erie this afternoon, and this evening
on Lake Ontario. Winds and waves will get very close to Small Craft
criteria on both lakes, with sustained winds peaking in the 15-18
knot range and waves 3-4 feet. Have held off on Small Craft
Advisories for now given the marginal winds/waves.
