Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
312 PM EDT Tue Jun 23 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
Couple of rounds of showers and thunderstorms will sweep across the
region through early evening ahead of pre-frontal trough and cold
front. Risk of strong to damaging wind gusts with the thunderstorms.
In the wake of the front later this evening, it becomes cooler and
less humid for the rest of the work week. Breezy southwest to west
winds late tonight into Wednesday will result in choppy conditions
on the lakes with increasing swim risk.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Showers with only isolated lightning strikes continue to drift
across western NY toward the Genesee valley. So far, no additional
development is occurring downstream of these showers over the Finger
Lakes and North Country. Seems that area, so far, is being impacted
by dry and capped airmass that was seen on BUF sounding this
morning. Upstream area of showers and storms along pre-frontal
trough is soon to reach Lake Erie shoreline of Chautauqua and Erie
counties. Gusty winds main hazard based on latest radar trends.
Still uncertain how much intensification occurs ahead of this line
as it moves over western NY in the next 1-3 hours given the earlier
showers that have held down overall instability. May be a smaller
window btwn the two lines to increase intensity of the line. If that
occurs and storms become more organized, they would continue to have
potential to produce strong to damaging wind gusts as they slide
east toward Finger Lakes by early this evening. SPC continues to
highlight our area for marginal risk of severe storms into the
evening.

By late evening, cold front sweeps across forecast area from west to
east, clearing the North Country by midnight. Strong storms should
diminish by late evening as well with just a few showers overnight
as cooler and less humid air arrives from the Upper Great Lakes.
Post-frontal issues will be tied to wind. SW winds will increase to
15-25 mph behind the front late tonight into Wednesday morning.
Resulting winds and waves will lead to increased swim risk later
tonight into Wednesday for the Lake Erie shore and also on the east
end of Lake Ontario. Temps tonight fall into the mid 50s to lower
60s then only reach the low to mid 70s on Wednesday behind the
front. A few showers may develop during peak heating on Wednesday
over western NY and over the Southern Tier.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
Weak surface high pressure will take over Wednesday night with
mainly dry weather across the region overnight. Lower humidity
levels and clear skies will allow for comfortable sleeping
conditions with temperatures falling back into the 50s by
daybreak.

Thursday, several shortwaves pivoting around the base of the parent
mid-level trough over Quebec will send a frontal boundary across the
eastern Great Lakes. This in combination with increasing instability
will likely lead to afternoon showers and a few thunderstorms with
best chances from Southern Tier to the Finger Lakes. Otherwise, it
will remain cooler with high temperatures in the mid to upper 70s.
Thursday night, with the loss of daytime heating any remaining
showers or thunderstorms should end quickly with dry weather
resuming overnight. Lows will be found in the 50s most locations to
near 60F along the lake shores.

Friday, the mid-level low lifts far enough north to put the eastern
Great Lakes region in area of rising heights. A few showers may
occur, but not as much coverage as what occurs on Thursday.
Temperatures will return to the lower 80s most locations. Friday
night, warm front crosses the Lower Lakes which may bring a few
showers and thunderstorms across the region especially after
midnight. Lows will be found in the 50s well inland from the lakes
to the lower 60s along the lake plains.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
Stronger upper trough and associated sfc low and warm front will
bring widespread showers and a chance of thunderstorms to the region
on Saturday. Rain diminishes later Saturday night into Sunday,
though a lingering frontal boundary and upper trough remaining close
by results in a chance of showers staying in the forecast. After
that system exits later Sunday, looks like a mainly dry pattern will
persist into early next week. Temperatures will be seasonable with
highs in the 80s and lows in the 60s.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
VFR conditions, but a period of showers and thunderstorms are likely
over WNY through late this afternoon. Local IFR vsby and gusty winds
of 30 to 40 kts are possible as these thunderstorms move through.
This area of showers and thunderstorms with gusty winds will
reach Finger Lakes, including ROC, toward evening then exit
eastern Lake Ontario region, including ART, by late evening.

VFR to MVFR cigs develop later tonight with a period of IFR
conditions possible across the Southern Tier.

Outlook...

Wednesday through Friday...VFR with a slight chance for a shower or
thunderstorm.
Saturday...MVFR with showers and a chance of thunderstorms.
Sunday...VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
Cold front with strong storms just ahead of it swings across through
early this evening. In the wake of the cold front later tonight,
winds will freshen on both Lakes Erie and Ontario with 15-20 kts and
higher gusts expected. Small Craft Advisories have been issued for
most marine zones through Wednesday.

Weak high pressure building across the region Wednesday night and
Thursday will allow winds and waves to subside.

&&
