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 Aug 17, 9:31 AM EDT, 4 hours earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 17, 9:31 AM EDT, 4 hours before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Buffalo NY 931 AM EDT Thu Aug 17 2023 .SYNOPSIS... High pressure centered over the Carolinas early today will gradually give way to an approaching cold front...but not before providing the region with mainly fair and warm weather into the early evening. A cold front will then push through western and north central New York tonight with numerous showers and a few gusty thunderstorms. Friday will then feature notably cooler weather along with some scattered showers and thunderstorms with the most active weather focused on the Lake Ontario region. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/... Satellite imagery showing abundant cloud cover across much of the region this morning, with overcast skies across Western NY and the eastern Lake Ontario region. These clouds will be persistent through midday before breaking up this afternoon and allowing for some partial sunshine. There could be enough instability to allow for a stray shower or thunderstorm by late afternoon, with the most prone areas for isolated convection will be found over the Finger Lakes region and east of Lake Ontario. The aforementioned strong shortwave will dig through the base a rather sharp longwave trough that will make its way across the Lower Great Lakes tonight. The attendant cold front will plow across our region in the process while generating numerous showers and scattered thunderstorms. A ribbon of deep moisture will accompany the frontal passage...so some of the resulting convection could include briefly heavy rain. While the diurnally induced instability will wane during the course of the frontal passage...its possible that some of the storms early on over the far western counties could allow for some locally gusty winds. Categorical pops will remain in place across the far western counties and east of Lake Ontario with likely pops over the Genesee valley and Finger Lakes region. Friday will be notably cooler...as the base of the longwave trough will push across our forecast area. H85 temps will drop into the single digits C (6-8C) along with a core of -14 to -16c air at H5. While the former will only allow for afternoon max temps in the 60s to lower 70s...the latter will provide steep enough lapse rates to promote scattered showers and thunderstorms. The most widespread of this convection will be focused east of the Lake Ontario region where the deepest moisture will be found. && .SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/... Upper level trough will exit the region Friday night, however one last lobe of moisture will circulate across our region. This will linger a few showers Friday night, especially east of Lake Ontario which will lie closer to the cool pool aloft with the upper level low, and also be under upslope flow. Clearing will arrive late across WNY, and this clearing along with light winds will allow for river valley fog formation. It will be a cool night, especially across WNY where clearing will allow for lows in the mid 40s interior Southern Tier, to low to mid 50s elsewhere. On Saturday, the lingering upslope showers southeast and east of Lake Ontario will slowly end through the day as the upper low finally exits. It will be a cool start but with sunshine we'll warm into the upper 60s to lower 70s. Dry weather, with river valley fog for Saturday night with high pressure nearby. && .LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... A ridge of high pressure will amplify over the Central Plains this period, with a trough deepening with northwest flow over our region, especially late in the period. A moisture starved cool front will drop across our region, later Monday and Monday night, with perhaps a shower or two, especially east of Lake Ontario. There continues to be model timing differences in the timing of the cold front passage, with these models featuring an even larger amount of uncertainty for Tuesday and Wednesday with the eastward bulge of hot air from the Plains. With northwest flow aloft, the core of the heat will likely remain just to our west, with fair weather and afternoon highs in the 70s. That said, there is a possibility that this heat does expand eastward Tuesday and Wednesday as some members of the GEFS and ECMWF suggest. && .AVIATION /14Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... IFR to LIFR conditions in fog and stratus across parts of the Southern Tier will give way to VFR weather after 15z. Otherwise... VFR conditions will be found across the region today with a good deal of VFR level cloudiness through midday. While an afternoon thunderstorm cannot be ruled out for sites east of the Genesee valley after 18z...convection should hold off until this evening. A cold front will cross the Lower Great Lakes tonight. This feature will generate numerous showers and thunderstorms with the strongest convection expected to be over the far western counties. While VFR conditons should prevail...some of the heavier convection could support brief MVFR conditions. Outlook... Friday...Gradual improvement to VFR with decreasing chances for showers and thunderstorms from west to east. Saturday through Monday...Mainly VFR weather. && .MARINE... Gentle to moderate southerlies on Lake Erie through midday will become southwesterly during the afternoon...while gentle southerlies on most of Lake Ontario will become light from the southeast in the afternoon. Waves will be negligible throughout the Lower Great Lakes. Conditions will deteriorate tonight though...as a cold front will plow across the region. This will result in numerous showers and possible thunderstorms...some of which could include strong enough winds for special marine warnings during the first part of the night. Otherwise moderate southerlies ahead of the front in the evening will become fresh to strong westerlies in the wake of the system towards daybreak. The strong cold advection in the wake of the front will promote favorable conditions for waterspouts...especially on Lake Erie and the western half of Lake Ontario. All of this will likely require small craft advisories that would be issued in a later forecast package. Fresh to strong westerlies will be found throughout the region on Friday...as a moderately strong low level jet within cold advection and within a fairly tight sfc pressure gradient will be in place. This will produce solid small craft advisories across both Lakes Erie and Ontario. The risk for waterspouts will persist throughout the region. High pressure will gradually build across the Lower Great Lakes later Friday night and Saturday. This will allow winds and waves to slowly subside as we head into the weekend...but you can likely count on SCA's remaining in place for at least a portion of this period. && .BUF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
