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 Sep 21, 8:21 PM EDT, 0 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 21, 8:21 PM EDT, 0 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
821 PM EDT Wed Sep 21 2022

.SYNOPSIS...
A strong cold front will slowly cross the region tonight...and this
will produce a round of heavy showers and possibly some strong
thunderstorms in the process. Notably cooler air will overspread our
forecast area in its wake...perfectly timing the start of Fall with
temperatures that will be well below normal through Friday night. In
fact...the chillier air will support some lake effect rain
showers...and possibly some frost Friday night east of Lake Ontario.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
A potent cold front over southern Ontario at 00z will slowly make
its way through our forecast area overnight. An unstable environment
with increasingly favorable shear for organized convection awaits
this front. Heavy showers and possibly some strong to severe
thunderstorms will be the result...with the highest probability for
the very unsettled weather between 03 and 07z. The greatest risk
with any thunderstorms will be heavy rain and localized strong wind
gusts in excess of 40 mph.

In the wake of the front...notably colder air will charge into the
region. H85 temps that are in the upper teens C as of the writing of
this discussion will plummet to around 5c by daybreak. This will be
more than enough to establish lake induced instability with some
lake driven showers southeast of the lakes as we start the day on
Thursday.

As for Thursday itself...it will be a very cool day as gusty
northwest winds will continue to support continued cold advection
with H85 temps falling to 0 to -2c. Again..perfect timing for the
official start of Autumn...which will be at 903 PM. Most areas will
experience their high temperatures during the morning of midday with
slowly falling mercury readings during the afternoon. While a chilly
cyclonic flow aloft will favor more lake induced showers...a greater
force behind the likelihood for more showers will be a strong
shortwave that will push a secondary cold front through the region.

A second shortwave will swing through the region Thursday night...as
mainly cloudy skies will yield more showers...mainly during the
first half of the night. Fortunately...the wealth of cloud cover and
a steady 10 to 15 kt wind SHOULD help to stave off the threat of
frost in the Southern Tier and North Country...despite min
temperatures in the mid to upper 30s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
Any lake effect rain showers will end Friday morning. Cool Friday
with highs in the mid to upper 50s. The surface high moves to the
south Friday night. This will be the coldest night thus far this
season with lows in the upper 30s to low 40s. Some locations in
the western Southern Tier and Tug Hill region may see temperatures
in the mid 30s and patchy frost is possible especially for sheltered
valleys.

&&

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Dry weather continues Saturday through Saturday night. Temperatures
increase slightly however temperatures remain below normal. A large,
deepening trough over the Upper Great Lakes and southern Ontario
will drop southeast over the Eastern Great Lakes and Northeast.
Showers will start to spread into the region as a sfc low and its
frontal boundaries track across the region Sunday and Sunday night.

This mid-level trough will likely stick around longer than the one
at the end of this week and unsettled and cooler weather will
continue through Wednesday.

&&

.AVIATION /01Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
While VFR conditions will be found throughout the region through at
least 03z...some heavy showers and possible strong thunderstorms are
forecast to move through the region between 03 and 07z. Conditions
may deteriorate to IFR to MVFR levels under any of this convection
as a cold front moves through the region. In the wake of this
pcpn...low VFR cigs are expected...except across the Srn Tier where
cigs of 700 to 1500 ft are forecast.

On Thursday...mainly VFR weather is expected...although cigs will
hover between 2500 and 3500 for much of the day. These cigs will be
accompanied by some showers...esp across the Southern Tier and
Finger Lakes region.

Outlook...

Thursday Night...VFR/MVFR. Lake effect showers SE of the lakes.
Friday and Saturday...Mainly VFR.
Sunday...VFR/MVFR. A chance of showers.
Monday...VFR/MVFR. Showers likely.

&&

.MARINE...
Southwest flow will continue ahead of an approaching cold front,
particularly on Lake Erie with winds and waves nearing Small Craft
Advisory criteria. Scattered to numerous thunderstorms will
cross the lower Great Lakes later this evening, producing locally
higher winds and waves.

The cold front will move southeast across the lower Great Lakes
overnight. Moderate to strong northwest flow will develop in the
wake of the cold front late tonight and continue through Thursday
night, producing widespread Small Craft Advisory conditions on both
Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. Winds and waves will gradually subside
Friday the pressure gradient relaxes.

The coolest airmass of the early fall season will arrive Thursday.
This will bring the potential for a few waterspouts from early
Thursday morning through Friday morning, particularly in and near
bands of lake effect showers.
