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.
