What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this beach hazards statement 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 beach hazards statement went out at Aug 30, 3:09 PM EDT, 59 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 30, 3:09 PM EDT, 59 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Buffalo NY 309 PM EDT Tue Aug 30 2022 .SYNOPSIS... A cold front will move east across the region through early this evening with widespread showers and scattered embedded thunderstorms. A few storms may contain gusty winds and heavy downpours, mainly from the Finger Lakes to the eastern Lake Ontario region. Most of the showers will end from west to east this evening following the passage of the cold front, although a few lake effect rain showers will continue east of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario overnight into Wednesday. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/... Mid level trough continuing to dig into the Great Lakes with closed mid level low pivoting across Hudson Bay. Attendant upstream cold front will cross the area through this evening. Regional radars showing widespread moderate to occasionally heavy showers covering all but the eastern Lake Ontario region this afternoon. Very little if any lightning noted with this activity, at least up to this point in the day. The potential still exists for some thunder from the Finger lakes and eastern Lake Ontario region with some limited instability as clouds and showers held off the longest there, but threat for severe storms seems to be lowering. Nonetheless the heavier showers will produce locally heavy rainfall given the high atmospheric moisture content. The passage of the cold front will bring an end to the showers and any thunderstorms from west to east very late this afternoon and evening. The mid level trough axis and associated strong vorticity maxima currently seen on water vapor imagery will cross the lower Great Lakes later tonight. Forcing from the trough could bring some additional showers. Cooling temperatures aloft combined with very warm lake water temperatures will likely produce a lake response, with a few lake enhanced showers developing over and east of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario overnight. Forecast soundings suggest enough instability over the lakes to support some thunder potential, especially Lake Ontario where support is a little more favorable. Any lake response will fade Wednesday morning. Associated lift and moisture along with additional cooling aloft should generate a few showers later in the day Wednesday into Wednesday evening from the eastern Finger Lakes to the North Country. Could be some lake additional enhanced showers east of Lake Ontario. Could be some additional showers off Lake Erie as well, but this response should be more limited due to warm temperatures aloft and short fetch. Off both lakes, contributions of warmth from the ~24C lake waters may also be supportive of some isolated thunder. Wednesday night, flow turns northwesterly and moisture diminishes which will cause the lake response to shift southeast/south of the lakes and gradually weaken. && .SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/... An upper level trough axis will be overhead of northeastern New York Thursday morning, where it will lift northeastward across New England throughout the day. Meanwhile in the lower levels and at the surface, the coolest air (~ +5C at 850mb) will be overhead of the region Thursday morning which will support chances for lake effect rain showers southeast of Lake Ontario. However, these showers will be on a downward trend as moisture will be diminishing behind the second frontal passage. Also the addition of diurnal heating will warm up the lower layers of the atmosphere acting to cease lake effect activity. Otherwise Thursday, with the cooler temperatures aloft to start the day it will be difficult for temperatures to rebound towards normal. This being said, Thursday will be the coolest day of the week with highs ranging from the mid to upper 60s across the higher terrain and upper 60s to low 70s elsewhere. Then upper level ridging will build and push east across western and north-central New York Thursday night through Friday night. This will allow for surface high pressure and more dry air to steadily build east across New York State and New England which will result in fair dry weather region wide. However, the region will become on the backside of the high pressure area resulting in southwesterly winds and warm air advection, which will support temperatures to return to above normal with highs in the upper 70s to low 80s. && .LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... For the start of the holiday weekend, the surface high pressure will be pushed out into the Atlantic as the next broad upper level troughing pushes across the central Great Lakes. This atmospheric set up will allow for southwest winds to continue to transport warm moist air into the region Saturday. With the surface ridge continuing to extend across the area, expect dry weather to prevail while temperatures and humidity will be on the rise. Then Saturday night and Sunday, aforementioned broad upper level troughing will push east across Ontario and Quebec which will consequently slowly shove its associated weak cold front across the region. Overall this will support the chance for a few anafrontal showers. That being said, with the clouds and showers spanning across the region Sunday expect some cooler temperatures. Heading into the start of the week, model guidance packages continue the idea of the slow moving front stalling south of New York State Monday and Tuesday. Meanwhile, Canadian high pressure will slide east across souther Canada during this time. All in all, with the stalled front to the south the Southern Tier may see a few showers while the northern portions of the area can expect dry fair weather to return. && .AVIATION /19Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... A cold front will cross the area from west to east this afternoon, clearing the area by late evening. Showers will be widespread ahead of the front. Coverage of thunder is expected to remain isolated to widely scattered across Western New York with limited instability. More widespread thunder coverage is expected for a few hours from mid afternoon through early evening across the eastern Lake Ontario region, where better instability will be in place. Expect improvement to mainly VFR during the late afternoon and evening from west to east following the cold frontal passage. Overnight, mainly VFR will prevail. A few lake effect rain showers will develop over and east of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario with local MVFR. Outlook... Wednesday...Mainly VFR with a chance of a few lake effect rain showers east of Lakes Erie and Ontario. Thursday...Mainly VFR...with a chance of lake effect rain showers southeast of Lake Ontario. Friday through Sunday...VFR. && .MARINE... A cold front will approach and cross the eastern Great Lakes this afternoon. Moderate southwesterlies will continue through early evening, especially on Lake Erie where winds and waves will likely reach low end Small Craft Advisory conditions along and just behind the cold front. A period of stronger WSW winds will then develop Wednesday behind the cold front, with sustained winds on Lake Erie and Lake Ontario increasing to 20-25 knots, with gusts to 30+ knots. This will produce a period of higher end Small Craft Advisory conditions, lasting through Wednesday evening on Lake Erie, and through Thursday morning on Lake Ontario. Following the passage of the cold front, a much cooler airmass will overspread the Lower Lakes Region through midweek. This will lead to an environment supportive of a chance of waterspouts from late this evening through Thursday morning. The best chance of waterspouts will be in and near bands of lake effect clouds and showers where convergent low level boundaries produce locally enhanced low level vorticity, which can then be tilted and stretched by lake effect updrafts. && .BUF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NY...None.
