Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
246 PM EDT Sat Jul 11 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
A complex area of low pressure including the tropical remnants
of Fay will move across the region through this evening.
Widespread showers with this system will alleviate drought
conditions, but there's also a risk of thunderstorms producing
locally heavy rainfall and damaging winds. Showers and storms
will taper off tonight, followed by scattered thunderstorms on
Sunday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Early this afternoon, rain has finally spread into most of
western New York. The driving feature is an unusually sharp and
compact shortwave which is moving across Western New York. The
steadiest rains are with this feature, with radar showing spokes
of convection extending outward from it. This is also producing
an area of gusty northwest winds just behind it, which has
caused wind gusts to around 50 mph at Erie, PA and in Jamestown.
Winds with this will diminish by late afternoon as the meso-low
pulls away.

There is a slight risk of flooding today, with localized
rainfall amounts of 2 inches possible. Precipitable water values
on the 12Z Buffalo sounding are 1.65 inches, with higher
amounts likely as the tropical remnants of Fay get wrapped into
the system. Following latest high resolution guidance, it
appears the bulk of this will pass along or to the south of a
Buffalo to Rochester to Oswego line today. In general, expect a
swath of a half inch to an inch of rain with this, which would
be beneficial alleviating drought conditions. However, locally
higher amounts will occur in heavier or slow moving storms,
which have the potential to cause flash flooding depending on
location and intensity. Will have to monitor lake boundaries,
and boundaries associated with the shortwave and associated
low.

Also, some of these storms have the potential to become strong
to severe in the afternoon through the evening hours. Although,
bulk 0-6km shear values are rather weak with only 15-20 knots
but BUFKIT profile soundings do show plenty of CAPE, especially
for our eastern counties. SPC has parts of the area from
roughly Rochester/Finger Lakes region into the North Country in
a Marginal Risk for severe storms with the potential for
damaging winds.

Showers and thunderstorms will end from west to east tonight.
Expect mostly dry and a partial clearing west of Rochester with
showers/storms lingering east of Lake Ontario through the early
morning hours.

It will be notably cooler, with temperatures dropping this
afternoon with the onset of rain showers. Lows will range from
the upper 50s to upper 60s tonight.

Trimmed back Pops for Sunday, with guidance suggesting the
initial shortwave will exit quickly to the east. There still
will be a broad trough across the region, which will support
scattered afternoon showers and possibly a thunderstorm. Lake
breeze boundaries may provide a focus showers and storms. It
will be notably cooler on Sunday with highs within a few
degrees of 80 at most locations.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
A deep upper level trough will progress northward across the eastern
third of the CONUS Sunday night through Monday night. While the
trough axis will reside overtop of the region, this pattern will
allow for the passage of a shortwave across the region Sunday night.
In its wake, another shortwave will pass through Monday which will
cause the overall pattern to shift.

With the passage of the first shortwave Sunday night into Monday,
its associated surface low and cold frontal boundary will bring
chances for rain showers. Shower and storm chances will remain
through Monday night as another shortwave will promote diurnally
driven convection. Otherwise, temperatures Monday will warm up to
mid to upper 70s across the region.

As the upper level pattern begins to shift Monday night and Tuesday,
surface high pressure will begin to build eastward into the region.
With the high pressure pushing in from the west, the potential for
showers will diminish throughout Monday night, drying out for
Tuesday. High temperatures Tuesday will rise up into the upper 70s
and low 80s across the region.

&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
The upper level ridge will flatten and move across the Northeast mid-
week. Warm air advection will bring warmer temperatures back into
the region with highs climbing into the upper 80s Wednesday.

The ridge continues to flatten and the flow becomes more or less
zonal with the exception of a few weak shortwave troughs that move
across the Great Lakes basin. An elongated area of high pressure
will sit across the lower half of the Lower 48 through Saturday.
Little sign of any widespread rainfall during this period however
showers and thunderstorms are possible. Heat and humidity will
increase into next weekend.

Supporting another heat wave are temperature forecasts from the
Climate Prediction Center (CPC). The Day 8-14 U.S. Hazards Outlook
map includes the Great Lakes region in an area for EXCESSIVE heat
during the July 18-24 period...and the corresponding 8-14 temp
outlook has a 70 percent bullseye for above normal temps over the
region.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Showers and thunderstorms will become more widespread across
all of western and north central NY this afternoon as a potent
shortwave and frontal boundary pushes through the region.
Conditions will vary widely with localized IFR or lower in
storms, with mainly VFR outside of the storms.

Showers and storms end from west to east after 00Z with mainly
VFR flight conditions tonight. A modest 10 mph wind will limit
fog potential. A few scattered showers Sunday afternoon, but
otherwise mainly VFR.

Outlook...

Sunday night...VFR.
Monday...VFR/MVFR with showers and thunderstorms likely.
Tuesday and Wednesday...VFR.
Thursday...VFR/MVFR with a chance of showers and thunderstorms.

&&

.MARINE...
A meso low associated with a shortwave will push east of Lake
Erie this afternoon. Winds pick up abruptly behind this,
supporting Small Craft headlines.

We got a couple reports of water spouts in Canadian Waters, and
while this is not a typical setup there is a risk for
waterspouts on Lake Erie this afternoon.

Tonight, winds remain elevated but should drop off enough to
allow for conditions to subside below SCA on Lake Erie. On the
other hand, Lake Ontario winds and waves will pick up this
evening which will support SCA on Lake Ontario overnight into
Sunday.
