Area forecast discussion, Jul 25, 2:47 AM EDT, 2 hours 15 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
247 AM EDT Mon Jul 25 2022

.SYNOPSIS...
Cold front sweeps into our area through daybreak allowing most of
the showers and thunderstorms to end. Cooler and drier conditions
arrive behind the front later today through Tuesday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
Severe watch continues with some reports of severe weather last
couple hours, especially over southern Tier. As expected have also
seen some instances of training with heavy rainfall given small MBE
vectors and PWATs up to 2 inches. Cold front is just arriving over
northwest Niagara Frontier and will continue southeast rest of the
early morning hours, ending showers and thunderstorms from northwest
to southeast.

By daybreak the last of the showers will be exiting our eastern
zones...with clearing commencing towards the west. As high pressure
builds toward our region we should become mostly sunny through the
afternoon with comfortable levels of humidity returning as dewpoints
fall into the mid to upper 50s.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
High pressure will continue to track toward the region through
Tuesday, eventually becoming centered over western New York by
Tuesday afternoon. The high along with associated dry air will
provide fair weather through Tuesday night.

Dry weather will likely continue to start the day Wednesday, but
should start to clouds increase with chances for showers starting to
arrive by afternoon as the high slides off to the east towards the
New England coast and a surface warm front starts to approach the
lower Great Lakes.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Warm front should be through much of the area Thursday, but could
continue to see additional showers and perhaps a thunderstorm as
cold front moves through on Thursday. Though the cold front will
clear the area by Friday morning, active weather may persist until
the main trough axis finally swings through the eastern Great Lakes
Friday afternoon. Surface high pressure building in its wake leaving
us with mainly dry weather for the weekend.

&&

.AVIATION /07Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Cold front crosses early this morning. Showers and a few
thunderstorms will continue settling southeastward ahead of the
front. Ceilings have lowered to IFR to lower MVFR from IAG and BUF
to JHW. Similar trend will occur at ROC and ART next few hours.
IFR ceiling heights will continue for several hours across the
Southern Tier.

Behind the front Monday morning and then through the day VFR flight
conditions will prevail with a gusty westerly wind.

Outlook...

Tuesday...Mainly VFR.

Wednesday...VFR but a chance of showers and thunderstorms in the
afternoon.

Thursday and Friday...VFR but a chance of showers.

&&

.MARINE...
Brisk southwest winds will continue early this morning on Lake Erie.
Small Craft Advisories are in effect. West to southwest winds
shifting west will kick up a chop over Lake Ontario into this
morning with conditions possibly exceeding Small Craft Advisory
criteria.

In addition to winds and waves, a few more thunderstorms will impact
eastern Lake Ontario through daybreak.

&&

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