Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
1011 AM EDT Tue Jul 6 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
Very warm and humid conditions continue today ahead of a cold front.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms will increase by this afternoon
before fading this evening. Additional rounds of showers and
thunderstorms are expected Wednesday into Thursday as the front
moves through before stalling out.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
The tail of a convectively-enhanced shortwave that produced
showers and thunderstorms over the North Country overnight is
interacting with a ribbon of higher H85 dewpoints and higher
PWATS to help generate a corridor of convection from the Niagara
Peninsula southward toward the Southern Tier. This afternoon,
as the cold front approaches and yet another convectively
enhanced shortwave drifts in from the central Great Lakes and
interacts with MLCAPES over 1000 J/kg, expect further increasing
coverage of showers and thunderstorms especially along and
south of the NYS Thruway into the Southern Tier and Finger
Lakes. Large scale shear weak at 20 kts or less, but low- level
shear and steeper low-level lapse rates appear sufficient enough
that stronger storms could produce damaging wind gusts. SPC
continues to highlight parts of our area for marginal to slight
risk of severe weather which given the above parameters looks
reasonable. Given the earlier timing of the wave, strongest
storms may end up developing just east of our area.

Other item of note is it will be another day of very warm and humid
conditions. H85 temps come down slightly compared to Monday at 16-
18C which should result in highs in the 89-91F range at the warmest.
These values combined with dewpoints near 70F will result in what we
have been looking at for a few days now, marginal heat index values
in the lower 90s to near 95F. Will mention lower 90s heat index
values in the Hazardous Weather Outlook, but will not issue a heat
advisory. Lower Genesee valley to northern Finger Lakes will see
warmest conditions.

Cold front makes it into the northern areas but not until late
tonight so expect another warm and humid night tonight with lows in
the upper 60s. Other than potential leftover convective activity
moving out of southern Ontario before decaying, subsidence behind
the shortwave moving through today and weak shortwave ridging will
keep thunderstorm activity in the evening at a minimum. However,
next shortwave trough moving through in wnw flow aloft will bring a
chance of showers and thunderstorms back to western NY late tonight.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
An active period is expected this midweek. To start on Wednesday a
frontal boundary will be stalled across our region. As fast moving
shortwaves aloft move across the Lower Great Lakes, the front
combined with daytime instability will bring chances for showers and
thunderstorms across the region. Instability is greatest south of
Lake Ontario, and will include thunder potential here, while to the
north across portions of Lake Ontario and the North Country, a
shallow northerly flow from a surface anticyclone will reduce the
low level buoyancy enough that thunder is not likely through the
daytime. The 0-6km Bulk Shear Values to the south of the front, and
where thunderstorms are possible are around 35 to 40 knots...that
combined with the 1000 to 1500 J/KG CAPE and strong Lapse Rates
could bring a few stronger thunderstorms as we head towards the late
afternoon and early evening hours. One inhibiting factor to showers
and thunderstorms Wednesday will be a wealth of dry air above 5K
feet. This will likely delay storms to later in the afternoon hours
and into the evening when deeper moisture arrives.

Shower and thunderstorms will remain possible Wednesday night with
the frontal boundary across WNY, and continued flow of shortwaves
aloft. To our west a more potent shortwave will dig a deeper trough
across the Central Great Lakes Wednesday Night. Meanwhile to our
south tropical system Elsa will be sending moisture northward, with
a deep plume of both Gulf of Mexico moisture and Elsa moisture
flowing northward ahead of this digging trough. This moisture will
arrive late Wednesday Night and through the day Thursday. Showers
and thunderstorms, of which some containing heavy downpours will be
upon our region. Overall severe threat will be lower on Thursday
than Wednesday with deep warm cloud depth of 12K feet, weaker lapse
rates (warmer air aloft) and tall skinny CAPE. The bigger threat may
actually be the heavy rain that any training clusters of heavier
showers and thunderstorms could bring localized flooding.

Shower and thunderstorm chances will remain Thursday Night, though
with the axis of deeper moisture now to our east activity will
produce lighter precipitation totals.

Wednesday temperatures will have a good deal of spread across our
region, with northern areas likely to remain in the upper 60s, with
the light northern wind...while to the south a lingering warm
airmass will bring temperatures into the 80s...with mid to upper 80s
possible in some of the Southern Tier valleys.

The increasing moisture Wednesday Night and southerly flow will
limit overnight cooling, with lows in the 60s. Thursday under thick
cloud cover highs will only rebound back into the 70s.

&&

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
A trough will be overhead of the Northeastern United States heading
into Friday night. The trough will continue to allow a few
shortwaves to pass through. Additionally to start the period,
Tropical Storm Elsa will be engulfed into the main wave. Translating
the upper air pattern to the lower levels, the surface low
(associated with a shortwave trough) that crossed the area Thursday
and Thursday night will be placed across the White Mountains Friday
morning. Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Elsa will re-enter the Atlantic
Friday as a extratropical storm, per model guidance cyclone phase
space diagrams and deepen, due to a transition of energy from the
low to its north. Therefore Friday, expect a chance of showers
across the region with the best chances occurring across the eastern
most areas of the region.

The now extratropical storm will then move northeast Friday night
into Saturday, allowing for a short period of quiet weather due to
some brief ridging aloft. Another shortwave will then enter the
picture Saturday, which will act to pull the main longwave trough
east. This is where the model guidance becomes split, where the
ECMWF is quicker to pull east the later half of the weekend into the
early portions of next week. Sunday could end up dry across our
region with a weak surface high splitting the exiting trough to our
east, and warm frontal rains to our south. This high will not hold
long over our region, and rain showers from the south will reenter
the forecast for Monday.

Temperatures will range in the upper 70s to low 80s late this week
and into early next week, with an ever so slight warming trend from
day to day.

&&

.AVIATION /14Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Other than an isolated shower or thunderstorm from Southern Tier to
the Finger Lakes next couple hours, mostly dry weather is expected
rest of the morning. Thunderstorms will be possible again this
afternoon, again especially from the Southern Tier to the Finger
Lakes. Any thunderstorms will then diminish this evening, but more
thunderstorms are possible late tonight over far western NY,
including KBUF and KIAG.

Outlook...
Wednesday and Thursday...VFR to MVFR with likely showers and
thunderstorms.
Friday...Generally VFR with diminishing chances for showers.
Saturday...VFR. A chance of showers over the far west.

&&

.MARINE...
An approaching cold front will settle across the region late tonight
into Wednesday. Southwest winds ahead of the front will result in
choppy conditions across eastern portions of Lake Erie and Lake
Ontario. Winds up to 20 kts with gusts to 30 kts prompted the
issuance of marginal Small Craft Advisory on Lake Erie.

The approach of the front will generate some thunderstorms mainly
early this morning on Lake Erie then again late this afternoon into
early this evening over western sections of Lake Ontario and
possibly over Lake Erie. Primary hazards with the storms will be
gusty winds, heavy downpours and small hail.

&&

.BUF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
NY...None.
MARINE...Small Craft Advisory until 6 PM EDT this evening for LEZ040-
         041.
