Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
154 PM EDT Tue Jul 20 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front pushing south through the  region will generate some
strong thunderstorms late this afternoon and evening...then cooler
more comfortable conditions will follow for much of the remainder of
the work week. Looking further ahead...our next chance for
widespread unsettled weather will come during the second half of the
weekend when another front will push through the region.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
...Strong to Severe Storms Possible into this Evening...

Very unstable airmass over western and north central New York late
this afternoon with SBCAPEs avg 2000 j/kg. Some drier air in the mid
levels (DCAPEs in the vcnty of 1000 j/kg) will enhance strong
downdraft (ie downburst potential) as developing storms push through
after 3 PM (Thousand Islands) and after 5 PM most elsewhere. SPC has
placed our region in a slight risk area for severe thunderstorm
activity...so be alert for possible severe weather watches.While
damaging winds will pose the greatest threat...large hail will
be possible with the initial storms.

While storms will be progressive...there will be the likelihood for
some heavy rain as well. Given wet antecedent conditions...this will
pose the risk for some localized flooding to accompany the stronger
storms.

Storms will weaken by 03z with only residual showers in the vcnty of
the passing front overnight.

Gradual clearing on Wednesday in advance of large sfc high over
Upper Great Lakes. Clearing to be slowed by upslope northerly flow.
Cooler and less humid.

Cool night slated for Wednesday night as sfc high drifts closer.
mins largely in the 50s...but 40s possible across cooler portions of
Srn Tier. Aimed at lower quartile of min temp guidance packages.

&&

.SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
A few shortwaves will pass across the Northeast through the mid-
levels for the second half of the workweek and start of the weekend,
which will provide for a few periods of showery weather.

Diving into the details for the start of the period Thursday, the
area will remain between two shortwaves with high pressure overhead
at the surface. This will provide for a rather dry day. Chances for
showers will increase slightly Thursday night as the alluded to
shortwave approaches the area.

Surface high pressure returns Friday, though with the aforementioned
shortwave trough axis crossing overhead of the area a few showers
can't be ruled out. Additionally, a stationary front lingering
southwest of the area (stretched from the central Great Lakes to the
Ohio Valley) Friday will support additional chances for showers,
especially for the areas across the western Southern Tier. Mid-level
and surface ridging should make for another period of dry weather
Friday night and most of Saturday.The next potent shortwave trough
(ahead of the incoming longwave trough) will initially push a warm
front across the region, before a cold frontal passage Saturday
night into Sunday.

Clearing skies Thursday will allow for temperatures to warm up into
the low to mid 70s. Temperatures will continue to warm slightly,
with highs in the mid to upper 70s to close out the work week and
start the weekend.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
NW flow aloft and yet another shortwave embedded within this flow
will keep chances for showers and storms in the forecast through
Sunday night.

Surface ridging will take hold Monday across the eastern Great Lakes
which will bring a period of dry weather and seasonal temperatures
through the middle of the week. Daytime highs will likely peak in
the upper 70s to low 80s.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Mainly VFR conditions will be in place for remainder of this
afternoon. The exception will be where wildfire smoke will mix low
enough to reduce vsbys to MVFR levels.

A mid level trough and cold front will approach LATE this afternoon,
then cross the region early tonight. This will produce scattered to
numerous showers and thunderstorms across much of the region, with
the most widespread activity from about 20Z to 02Z. VFR conditions
will prevail between the storms, but there will be local/brief
reductions to IFR in heavier thunderstorms.

Fog and stratus will develop over much of the region after midnight.
This will support widespread MVFR to IFR conditions overnight into
initial daylight hours of Wednesday.

Conditions will improve to VFR regionwide by late Wednesday
morning.

Outlook...

Thursday...VFR.
Friday...VFR/MVFR. A chance of showers.
Saturday...VFR.
Sunday...Mainly VFR with scattered showers ending early.

&&

.MARINE...
Weak pressure gradient will bring gentle to moderate breezes through
Wednesday. The only concern will be the risk for thunderstorms late
this afternoon and this evening, which will produce locally higher
winds and waves and lightning.

&&

.BUF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
NY...None.
MARINE...None.
