Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
152 PM EDT Mon Jul 24 2023

.SYNOPSIS...
An unstable airmass will be a perfect breeding ground for showers
and thunderstorms inland from the lakes this afternoon...then fair
weather will return to the whole area tonight. Some of the storms
will be strong to severe east of Rochester. While most areas will be
rain free on Tuesday...more showers and storms can be expected away
from the lakes during the afternoon. It will become very warm and
uncomfortably humid for much of the remainder of the work week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...
While one upper level disturbance will move away from our region
this afternoon...another one over the IAG Peninsula will move
through. The lift generated from this feature will act upon a very
unstable airmass to generate a fair amount of convection over the
Finger Lakes and Eastern Lake Ontario region into early this
evening. While there is not a lot of shear to work with...lake
breeze boundaries could add enough shear for storms to become strong
to severe. This will especially be the case over the Eastern Lake
Ontario where a severe thunderstorm watch will be in effect until 8
PM. The highest severe weather threat will come from damaging
straight line winds...followed by locally heavy rain and large hail.

Although there will continue to be a general trough aloft, weak
surface high pressure and the loss of diurnal heating will result
in convection tapering off this evening. This will leave mainly
dry weather and mostly clear skies overnight. Patchy fog will be
possible in the Southern Tier river valleys.

On Tuesday...the base of the current longwave trough will pass over
and east of our forecast area. When coupled with increased Td's...
this should be more than enough to allow for more diurnally driven
convection away from the lakes...and particularly over the Finger
Lakes region interior parts of the Srn Tier. While there will be
plenty of instability to work with on Tuesday...a weak wind field
through H7 will offer very little shear. While not outlined for
excessive rains by WPC...short MBE vectors will offer a higher risk
for slow moving downpours with convection that develops.

The base of a longwave trough will quickly exit across New England
Tuesday night. The ensuing hgt rises and introduction of drier air
in the mid levels will allow for fair weather to return to the
region.

&&

.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
Heading into Wednesday and Wednesday night, expect mainly dry
conditions throughout the day on Wednesday. A passing weakening
trough to the north of the region late Wednesday, will support
some showers and storms Wednesday night. Temperatures on Wednesday
will warm to the mid 80s to low 90s for the entire forecast area.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
...Heat Headlines May Be Needed During This Period...

The persistent longwave trough that has been residing over the
eastern third of North America will relax a bit late this week and
into next weekend, allowing the main upper level jet axis to retreat
north into Canada. This will allow the hot and humid airmass that
has been suppressed to our south to advect northward across the
forecast region for the later part of the work week. Daytime highs
running in the upper 80s and low 90s on Thursday, combined with dew
points in the upper 60s and in some cases low 70s, will lead to
apparent temperatures across much of the lake plains and valley
areas in the mid 90s. Some apparent temperatures may even approach
100 in the climatologically warmer valley locations. Friday will be
another very humid day, however daytime highs may be a few ticks
lower. Nonetheless, it will still be another hot day with apparent
temperatures in the low to possibly mid 90s for a good portion of
the lake plains and in the valleys.

Models continue to show several ill-timed shortwaves crossing the
area during the latter half of the work week. Timing of these
features will be key to exactly what weather will grace the region.
If timed with peak diurnal heating, some stronger storms may have to
be contended with, or possibly just some scattered showers if a
disturbance crosses the area during the overnight or early morning
hours. The main feature of interest for the first half of the period
will be a strong shortwave crossing the area sometime Friday/Friday
night. This feature will bring the best chance of showers and storms
for the entire period, and if it does cross the area during the
afternoon/early evening hours on Friday, may be able to produce a
few storms that could reach severe hazards.

Weather looks to remain generally unsettled next weekend as a series
of ill-timed fast-moving weak shortwaves traverse the area, with
temperatures falling closer to seasonal norms. This will likely mean
bouts of showers and possibly storms depending on timing of such
disturbances, with periods of dry time built in. Neither day should
be a washout. Model disagreement remains fairly high, so as
mentioned, confidence with timing remains fairly low for this
timeframe. However, there is higher confidence that the mid and
upper level pattern will once again become more amplified toward the
tail end of the period with eastern CONUS/Canadian longwave trough
becoming re-established. Stay tuned.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
While VFR conditions will be in place for the bulk of this afternoon...
lake breeze boundaries will come with an increasingly unstable
environment to support scattered showers and thunderstorms...mainly
along and inland from the lake breeze boundaries. The best coverage
of thunderstorms will be from the Finger Lakes into Central NY and
the Tug Hill region where the best forcing from the mid level trough
will be found around the time of peak heating.

Tonight, any thunderstorms will taper off leaving widespread VFR
flight conditions this evening. River valley fog is possible late
tonight across the Western Southern Tier which may impact KJHW.

VFR conditions will prevail on Tuesday...although there will once
again be the risk for diurnally driven convection with localized
MVFR conditions inland from the lakes.

Outlook...

Wednesday and Thursday...VFR.
Friday...VFR but with an increasing chance of showers and
thunderstorms.
Saturday...VFR to MVFR conditions with scattered showers and
thunderstorms.

&&

.MARINE...
Winds and waves are expected to remain well below Small Craft
Advisory criteria through at least the middle of the week with a
weak pressure gradient in place. There will be a chance of a few
spotty showers and thunderstorms each day, and any thunderstorm may
produce locally higher winds and waves.

NY...None.
MARINE...None.
