NWS Buffalo, NY wrote its last area forecast discussion before this beach hazards statement went out at Sep 25, 2:38 PM EDT, 1 hour 40 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 25, 2:38 PM EDT, 1 hour 40 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
238 PM EDT Sun Sep 25 2022

.SYNOPSIS...
A very wet pattern will continue through midweek as low pressure
lingers for several days across southern Ontario and Quebec. This
will bring periods of showers areawide and heavy lake effect rain at
times east of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario with localized flooding
possible. High pressure will finally build into the Great Lakes
Thursday with a return to dry weather for late week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
...SIGNIFICANT LAKE EFFECT RAIN WITH LOCALIZED FLOODING POSSIBLE
EAST OF LAKE ERIE AND LAKE ONTARIO...

A deep longwave trough will become established across the Great
Lakes tonight through Monday, with a mid level closed low developing
near Georgian Bay. An east-west elongated surface low will
consolidate near Georgian Bay tonight, then drift east across
southern Ontario on Monday. 850MB temps will gradually drop to +5C
by Monday, and a pool of cool 700MB temperatures and deep moisture
will combine with warm lake temperatures to produce strong and deep
lake induced instability, with lake induced equilibrium levels
around 30K feet through the period. The heaviest rain amounts in
these strongly unstable early season lake effect rain events tend to
be right along the lakeshore as opposed to extending well inland.

From a synoptic standpoint, the first area of rain associated with
warm advection and moisture transport ahead of the system will
continue to cross the eastern Lake Ontario region this afternoon and
exit the area this evening. Tonight through Monday, DPVA and height
falls ahead of the digging longwave trough will support occasional
showers at times. The main story will be lake effect potential, as
outlined below...

Off Lake Erie...

The area of organized lake effect rain over and east of the lake
early this afternoon will likely move east/inland and weaken through
the rest of the afternoon as subsidence and shear temporarily
increase behind a departing shortwave. Diurnal influences will also
tend to break apart banding structure during the afternoon hours.

Tonight through Monday a series of low amplitude shortwaves will
move through the longwave trough. Each of these will enhance the
Lake Erie lake effect, but also modulate intensity and location,
making the fine details of the forecast difficult. The very strong
and deep instability over the lake combined with passing shortwaves
may keep the lake effect showers more convective and cellular in
nature, but nonetheless capable of producing locally heavy rainfall.

Expect lake effect rain to become better organized again later this
evening, initially east of the lake across Chautauqua and southern
Erie counties. An approaching shortwave will then back the boundary
layer flow to the southwest by early Monday morning, with lake
effect rain centering on the Buffalo Metro area. From late morning
through Monday evening expect most of the heavier lake effect
showers to hug the Lake Erie shore from Chautauqua County northeast
to near Buffalo. Passing shortwaves will continue to modulate flow
and convective depth, so expect lake effect rain organization and
intensity to wax and wane numerous times through the period.

Rain amounts will reach 1-2" with locally higher amounts near Lake
Erie tonight through Monday evening, with additional rainfall after
that as outlined in the short term section below. The risk for
flooding will increase with each successive wave of rain as the
ground saturates.

Off Lake Ontario...

The position of the mid level low is not as favorable for a robust
lake response through Monday evening. There will be some lake
enhancement east and northeast of the lake from later this afternoon
through tonight, centering on the Tug Hill initially this evening
and then drifting north into Jefferson County overnight.

On Monday a digging shortwave upstream will back the boundary layer
flow to SW or even SSW, shortening the effective fetch over the lake
and pushing any lake effect rain north to the Saint Lawrence or even
into Canada at times. The shortened fetch and less favorable
climatological position of the mid level low will reduce the chance
of heavy lake effect rain through Monday evening east of Lake
Ontario. This will change by Tuesday, more on that in the short
term section below.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
...Significant lake effect rainfall amounts along with possible
localized flooding expected east and northeast of Lake Erie and Lake
Ontario...

Heading into Monday night, broad upper level troughing will be
spread across the eastern half of the continental United States,
while ridging remains across the west. Within the troughing pattern
a stacked low over southeastern Ontario Monday night will head
northeast into southern Quebec Tuesday and continue to promote
advection of cool moist air into the region. Overall this will
continue to result in well defined lake effect/enhanced rains east
and northeast of the lakes Erie and Ontario. Within the lake effect
bands, expect heavy rain with the potential for some
thunder/lightning closer towards the lakeshores, however with the
shift of the low pressure system, west-southwest flow Monday night
will veer to more of a westerly flow by Tuesday which will shift the
heavier rain and thunder/lightning to east of the lakes. Total
rainfall amounts Monday night and Tuesday can amount up to 1.5 to
2.5 inches. If rainfall amounts occur of this magnitude, some
localized flooding may be possible and will need to be monitored.

A secondary cold front will cross the region early Tuesday night,
which will likely push the ongoing lake effect bands south and
onshore of both lakes ahead of its passage. Expect a brief lull in
activity immediately after the secondary frontal passage before lake
effect rain starts back up now as multiple bands south and southeast
of both lakes as flow will be north-northwest to north west.
However, if and where a Lake Huron/Georgian Bay connections
establishes, expect some better focused lake effect rain. Otherwise
with northwest flow regime expect some upslope enhancement.

Cool northwest flow will continue Wednesday morning which will
result in lake effect rain showers to persist south/southeast of
both lakes. Lake effect rain showers will then slowly diminish
throughout the rest of the day Wednesday and Wednesday night as
moisture is stripped away from the region from the departing low
pressure system and incoming high pressure bubble over the Upper
Great Lakes.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Thursday we will still be under cool cyclonic flow as the upper
level trough exits out over Atlantic Canada. Meanwhile in the lower
levels surface high pressure will be building in from the west. We
could still see lake clouds...and an isolated rain shower south of
Lake Ontario early Thursday before drier air from the west wins out
and skies begin to clear. Clear skies Thursday night will allow for
another cool night with overnight lows in the mid 30s...to lower 40s
near the lakes. Inland frost is quite the possibility with light
winds.

This surface high will bring fair weather Friday...and possibly into
the start of next weekend. The forecast for next weekend will
heavily depend upon the track and timing of tropical system
Ian...which will move into an area of weak riding aloft over the
Northeast. Thus still a bit of uncertainty to any direct impacts to
our region.

&&

.AVIATION /19Z SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Low pressure will move very slowly east across southern Ontario and
Quebec through the first part of the week. This will bring an
extended period of unsettled weather and flight restrictions to the
eastern Great Lakes. The low and associated mid level trough will
produce occasional showers across the region. Cool air aloft will
support areas of lake effect rain over and east of Lake Erie and
Lake Ontario at times through Monday and beyond.

Widespread stratus and stratocumulus will produce areas of MVFR CIGS
at lower elevations and IFR higher terrain this afternoon through
Monday morning. CIGS will improve somewhat Monday afternoon with
mainly VFR lower elevations and MVFR higher terrain and in bands of
lake effect rain. Heavier showers in lake effect areas will bring
MVFR/IFR VSBY at times.

Outlook...

Monday night through Tuesday night...Areas of MVFR with local IFR.
Occasional showers and lake effect rain.
Wednesday...Areas of MVFR with scattered showers and lake effect
showers.
Thursday and Friday...Mainly VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
Increasing southwest winds will bring very choppy conditions to Lake
Erie this afternoon and evening. Low pressure will move slowly east
across southern Ontario and Quebec tonight through Tuesday, setting
the stage for an extended period of Small Craft Advisory conditions
on Lake Erie and Lake Ontario tonight through at least Tuesday
night with WSW winds in the 15-25 knot range, with higher gusts.

Cool air aloft and favorable conditions for lake effect rain will
continue to produce a chance of waterspouts through Wednesday.
