What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this small craft advisory 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 small craft advisory went out at May 20, 1:38 AM EDT, 2 hours 26 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 20, 1:38 AM EDT, 2 hours 26 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Buffalo NY 138 AM EDT Sat May 20 2023 .SYNOPSIS... A cold front will push through the region overnight and Saturday along with some beneficial rain showers. The rain will gradually taper off from west to east Saturday afternoon and evening... allowing a return to mainly dry weather and pleasant temperatures for Sunday. Fair weather and increasing warmth will then dominate much if not all of next week. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/... Regional radar show a swath of light to moderate rain showers across southern Ontario approaching the eastern Great Lakes region overnight. There have been a few lightning strikes in the activity over northern Ohio and near Toronto over the last few hours. As this system's parent mid/upper level low digs southeastward across the central Great Lakes overnight and across our area Saturday...it will slowly push the surface wave/trailing cold front to our western doorstep by 12z Saturday...then across our area during the course of Saturday. As this occurs...deep-layer moisture will increase across our region with PWATs climbing to between 1.25" and 1.50"...with increasing forcing for ascent from the cold front and strengthening height falls/DCVA aloft helping to lift this moisture and generate fairly widespread moderate showers across our region...with basin-average rainfall amounts generally from two thirds of an inch to one inch expected. Given the extended dry spell we've had of late...this rain will be rather beneficial. With no lightning seen upstream of our area all day/evening and instability overnight looking to be extremely limited at best...have elected to pull the mention of any thunder from the grids. As the cold front marches across our region Saturday the widespread rain showers will push eastward. Expect much of the rainfall to be over with by around noontime or shortly thereafter west of the Genesee Valley. Cannot rule out a stray shower later in the afternoon across the Niagara Frontier as the upper low/core of the cold air aloft works overhead and lapse rates steepen, but the deeper synoptic moisture will be displaced eastward with the surface cold front. While a weak ridge of high pressure noses towards SW NYS Saturday afternoon and evening, moist cyclonic flow aloft near Lake Ontario and our eastern zones will maintain shower chances through the evening hours of Saturday...with these showers tapering down over the North Country Saturday night. As for temperatures...these will remain mild out ahead of the cold front overnight, with lows only dipping into the mid to upper 50s. On Saturday...the warmest temperatures will be across our eastern zones where the later arrival of the cold front will allow for highs in the mid 60s...with cooler readings in the upper 50s/low 60s found back across far western New York. Finally...with some clearing across WNY Saturday night temperatures will drop back into the 40s...with around 40F not out of the question for some of the colder interior spots of the Southern Tier. && .SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/... Cold front will pull away from the New England coast Sunday, while the axis of the parent upper trough will very slowly trail southeastward across the Great Lakes through Monday. This may lead to a few showers lingering up in the North Country into Sunday evening, though moisture profiles are fairly dry and support widely scattered coverage at best south of the St. Lawrence valley. Likewise could be a couple of diurnal showers down near the NY/PA border Monday afternoon as the trough axis drops thorugh, though again paltry moisture would greatly limit coverage and intensity. Otherwise...High pressure extending from Ontario Province through the Mississippi River Valley will be building eastward, spanning the entire northeast by Monday night. Other than the small chances for showers mentioned previously, fair and dry weather will prevail to end the weekend and kick off the new workweek. Highs Sunday will average around climatological norms in the upper 60s to low 70s, a few degrees cooler on Monday outside of the Southern Tier. Lows Sunday and Monday nights will feature a range of 40s, though as the surface high moves east of the region a weak southerly return flow will boost temps down off the Chautauqua Ridge into the 50s. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... Quiet weather through much of the week as a broad mid-level ridge spanning much of the central CONUS will slowly advance eastward, maintaining a surface high pressure ridge along the Atlantic shoreline. A shortwave pivoting around an upper trough over northern Quebec will send a cold front southward towards the eastern Great Lakes Wednesday...Though this feature will have a difficult time producing any precip across our area as it runs up against the high to the southeast. Will keep PoPs down in the 15-20% range for the North Country. With the surface ridge off the coast circulating warmer air into the region, temperatures will get a boost during the week. Highs will generally range in the 70s, with some readings in the 80s possible across the interior valleys. Lows each night will average in the 50s across the Lake Plains, with 40s elsewhere. && .AVIATION /06Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... Current VFR conditions will deteriorate across the western and north central NY terminals late tonight into Saturday morning. A large swath of rain showers across southern Ontario is approaching the region late tonight. Showers are associated with a cold front that will track across the region Saturday. Light to moderate rain showers will overspread the region starting 08-10z across KIAG, KBUF, KJHW, 11-14z across KROC and ART. The threat for TS is low and not in the TAF. There have been lightning strikes in northern Ohio and near Toronto but coverage is very low and conditions are not favorable for additional TS in WNY/NNY. Ceilings will lower to AOB 5kt feet at shower start time and then fall to MVFR/IFR for a good portion of Saturday. Visibility may fall to 2-4SM at times in heavier showers. Rain showers will move west to east and end across the western terminals by 18z Saturday and at KART by 00z Sunday. Ceilings AOB 5k feet but above 010 feet will likely continue through Saturday evening at all terminals. Outlook... Saturday night...Patchy MVFR with leftover showers diminishing east of Lake Ontario. Sunday...Mainly VFR with a chance of showers across the North Country. Monday through Wednesday...Mainly VFR. && .MARINE... A moderate southerly flow will continue overnight out ahead of a slowly approaching cold front. This will create choppy conditions across northeastern Lake Ontario...though waves are expected to remain below 4 feet. The cold front will then cross the Lower Great Lakes during Saturday. In its wake winds will veer to westerly and freshen... which will in turn increase wave action to the point where Small Craft Advisories will likely be needed from later Saturday through Saturday night on Lake Erie, and Saturday night/Sunday morning on Lake Ontario. After that...surface high pressure will provide fair weather from the rest of Sunday on through most if not all of the upcoming week. && .BUF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NY...None.
