What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this small craft advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Buffalo, NY wrote its last area forecast discussion before this small craft advisory went out at Aug 4, 4:32 AM EDT, 12 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Aug 4, 4:32 AM EDT, 12 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
432 AM EDT Tue Aug 4 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
Unsettled weather will remain over the region through tonight as
weak disturbances pass through, while tropical system Isaias
races up the east coast. High pressure will build across the
region late Wednesday with near normal temperatures and a dry
weather pattern through the end of the work week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
Regional radars showing just a few showers across western New York
early this morning. More widespread showers starting to work into
eastern New York, as moisture well in advance Isaias continues
streaming northward.

Complicated forecast today with the bulk of the impacts from
Isaias staying off to our east, although the western edge of
the moderate to heavy tropical rain shield could reach portions
of the North Country this afternoon, with the heaviest rainfall
likely to stay east of Interstate 81. Further west, the
combination of increasing moisture and diurnal heating will
likely bring a blossoming of showers and thunderstorms, with the
best chances from the Genesee Valley to the western Finger
Lakes. Severe risk looks limited, but could certainly see some
tropical downpours.

The tropical system will lift out quickly tonight allowing a cold
front to sweep across the region. Shortwave moving through and
lingering instability due to cooler air crossing Lake Ontario
will maintain the chance for a few showers or an isolated
thunderstorm southeast and east of Lake Ontario.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
Heading into Wednesday, a large area of low pressure will reside
over southern Quebec and New England as a result of the collision of
the surface low with trailing cold front and Tropical Storm Isaias.
Throughout the day, the remnants of Tropical Storm Isaias will
transfer its energy to the other surface low causing it to occlude.
This occluded low will then drift further north-northeast into
Quebec. Meanwhile, a large area of surface high pressure spanning
much of the Mid-western states will build in across the western
portions of the forecast area. While the high pressure will be
knocking on our western door step, the eastern portions (from
Rochester east) will remain under enough of an influence from the
exiting surface low to continue chances for showers Wednesday
morning. Shower chances will then diminish from west to east as the
day progresses. Cold air advection will continue behind the passed
cold front on Wednesday. Highs on Wednesday will range in the 70s
with the higher elevations seeing on the low 70s and lake
plains/lower terrain in the mid to upper 70s.

The aforementioned bubble of surface high pressure will push in and
eventually dominate overhead of the region on Thursday, which will
make for a primarily dry day and night. Highs will begin to warm up
Thursday, allowing for highs to climb up into the mid to upper 70s
and a few 80s. However some of the higher elevations will be on the
cool side with highs again in the low 70s.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
A weakening shortwave will cross the area Friday causing some
showers Friday afternoon into early Saturday morning. The best
shower chances will lie across the state border of New York and
Pennsylvania. Heading into the weekend, a vast majority will be dry
as an area of high pressure settles in over the region. Shower
activity will then increase Monday as the next low pressure system
over Northern Canada drags its surface boundaries across the Great
Lakes and into the region.

Overall, temperatures will continue to warm throughout the period.
Temperatures to start off this period will begin in the upper 70s to
low 80s on Friday and end in the low to mid 80s by Monday.

&&

.AVIATION /09Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Mainly VFR conditions early this morning, except for IFR/LIFR along
the Southern Tier, impacting KJHW. The low conditions along the
Southern Tier will improve to low end VFR by mid morning with
showers becoming more widespread. The showers will be accompanied by
some thunder during the afternoon. Heavy rain on the western fringe
of Isaias will likely remain east of KART-KSYR line.

Outlook...

Tonight...MVFR/VFR. A chance of showers and thunderstorms mainly
east of Lake Ontario.
Wednesday...VFR, but showers possible east of Lake Ontario.
Thursday through Saturday...VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
Light winds and negligible waves will persist into this afternoon
before a cold front crosses the lower Great Lakes tonight helping
to increase winds from the northwest, especially on Lake Ontario.
A round of Small Craft Advisories will be issued tonight into
Wednesday on Lake Ontario.

Waterspouts will be possible behind the cold front tonight into
Thursday with lowering temperatures aloft. The period for best
waterspout potential would be later Wednesday into Thursday
morning with cold temperatures aloft and winds becoming light
enough to favor developing low-level convergence zones where
waterspouts typically form.

&&
