Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
410 AM EDT Tue May 16 2023
.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure will continue to provide the region with fair dry
weather through a good part of today. A sharp cold front will bring
the opportunity for some showers later this afternoon and evening.
Dry weather will return Wednesday, but it will be chilly behind the
departing cold front, with widespread frost is possible Wednesday
night through early Thursday morning.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
High pressure will continue to edge southward into the Ohio
Valley today as a cold front moves southward from southern
Ontario and Quebec. Today will start out dry with plenty of
sunshine south of Lake Ontario. Spotty showers will start
pushing into the North Country in advance of the cold front by
midday or early afternoon. Better chance of showers will then
sweep southward with arrival of cold front late this afternoon
into this evening. Greatest coverage of showers will be across
the North Country into northern New York, though all areas will
have at least a chance of a passing shower as the front moves
through, mainly along and north of the Thruway through the late
afternoon and early evening. Southwest flow ahead of the front
will be strong and gusty northeast of Lake Erie with gusts in
the 30-40 mph range and 20-30 mph elsewhere. Temperatures will
reach the lower to mid 70s inland from the lakes ahead of the
front. Behind the front, temperatures will fall off quickly late
in the day.
Cold advection continues tonight in the wake of the cold front.
Low temperatures will mainly be in the 30s. Low confidence in
frost potential with some maintenance of synoptic flow, but
could still have some patchy frost in sheltered areas. Interior
areas east of Lake Ontario will have the best chance to have
temperatures fall to freezing or a bit below, will therefore
maintain the Freeze Watch for this area.
&&
.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
A deep longwave trough will be in place across the Northeast
with relatively cold and dry air across eastern Great Lakes
region. Surface high pressure over northern Ontario will move
south into the eastern Great Lakes region through Wednesday
night. Temperatures at 850mb will fall to -5C by Wednesday
making for a chilly mid-May day. High temperatures will reach
the low 50s Wednesday, roughly 15 degrees below normal. Further
more, lows Wednesday night will fall to near to below freezing
across the region. This will almost guarantee a freeze for
inland locations and frost for lower elevations Wednesday night.
Freeze/frost headlines are likely for most if not all counties
in western and north central NY.
High pressure remains across the region Thursday. Dry conditions
will continue with temperatures bouncing back to near normal with
highs in the 60s. Dry weather continues into Thursday night with
lows in the low to mid 40s.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
The next system will be near the Upper Great Lakes and will approach
the eastern Great Lakes region Friday. There remains timing concerns
with the main cold front. The GFS is the faster solution and
subsequently driving the NBM to bring rain showers as early as
Friday. Slowed this solution down with a 30-50% chance of rain
showers by Saturday. The cold front should be east of the region by
late Saturday night.
The pattern shifts Sunday into Monday with a longwave trough setting
up across the Great Lakes region and Northeast. A mostly dry cold
front may move through the region Sunday night into Monday.
Temperatures will start above normal on Friday and then slowly come
down to near normal by Monday.
&&
.AVIATION /08Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
VFR will prevail through a good portion of today as high pressure
departs. A cold front will move south across the region later this
afternoon and evening, bringing with it a chance of showers and
possibly a few hours of MVFR CIGS. The shower chances will arrive in
the North Country (KART) first by early afternoon, then progress
south of Lake Ontario towards the rest of the TAF sites late
afternoon and evening (generally after 21Z). There is a low risk for
MVFR CIGS behind the front. However, if any MVFR CIGS do develop
it will be short lived, with a strong push of dry air moving
south out of Canada and allowing for clearing and a return to
VFR later tonight.
Southwest winds will become quite gusty today ahead of the cold
front. Gusts of 15-25 knots will be common across the region, with
gusts of 30-35 knots northeast of Lake Erie.
Southwest gusts at KBUF may approach 35 knots at times from late
morning through mid to late afternoon, producing significant
crosswind component on runway 14/32.
Outlook...
Wednesday and Thursday...VFR.
Friday...Mainly VFR.
Saturday...MVFR to VFR. Chance of showers.
&&
.MARINE...
High pressure will drop toward the Ohio Valley this morning as
a cold front drops across southern Ontario and Quebec.
Southwest winds will increase on both lakes between these
features, with Small Craft Advisory conditions on Lake Erie and
the eastern portion of Lake Ontario, with very choppy conditions
for the rest of Lake Ontario.
Once the front drops south across the area late this afternoon
and this evening, winds will shift northerly with additional
small craft extensions and headlines as outlined below for
increasing north/northeast winds.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
...NEAR CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS TODAY...
There will be increased risk for increased fire behavior
through Wednesday as many areas have not seen rainfall for at
least a week. Per our fire weather partners though most areas
continue to progress through green up, so this will limit the
need for any fire weather products, including fire weather
watches or red flag warnings. Special Weather Statements may
still be issued to highlight the near critical fire weather
conditions.
The greatest fire weather risk today will be across the
Southern Tier where minimum relative humidity will drop to
15-20 percent and wind gusts may reach 30 mph at times.
Wednesday will be dry across the entire area, though cooler
behind a cold front. Minimum relative humidity will drop to 25
percent while north winds gust to 20 mph.
