Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
208 AM EDT Fri Apr 12 2024

.SYNOPSIS...
Deep low pressure will cross the central Great Lakes through the
early morning hours before reaching Quebec late tonight and
Saturday. This system will continue to produce periods of soaking
rainfall and a few scattered thunderstorms the remainder of the
night through the daytime hours. The rain will mix with or change to
wet snow later tonight and early Saturday before ending from west to
east later Saturday. Some minor, slush accumulations are possible
across the high terrain tonight and Saturday morning. It will also
be quite windy much of the time through Saturday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
A strong southern stream trough over the Tennessee Valley and a
strong northern stream trough over the upper Mississippi Valley are
in the process of phasing, and this will result in a deep full
latitude longwave trough that advances slowly east across the Great
Lakes and eastern US through the end of the week. Deep southerly
flow ahead of the digging trough will continue to transport copious
moisture northward into the eastern Great Lakes through the early
morning hours. Strong large scale forcing will continue, with
strongly diffluent mid/upper level flow and a coupled upper level
jet structure supporting organized deep ascent through the first
half of the day. The most organized rain will be focused by low
level forcing from a series of warm frontal segments and shortwaves
through the pre-dawn hours before a cold front moves through during
the daytime hours.

Precipitation Details...

Numerous spokes of vorticity ejecting out of the strong upstream
trough along with height falls and ongoing strong moisture transport
and convergence ahead of the surface low will support additional
periods of rain through this morning. One more band of moderate to
heavy showers will enter Western NY through the pre-dawn hours, then
cross the rest of the area from southwest to northeast through the
first half of Friday as the cold front surges northeast across the
area. Latest guidance and radar trends overnight are indicating the
axis of heaviest precip through daybreak will take on a relatively N-
S orientation, extending from Chautauqua up through or just west of
extreme western NY. Will continue to monitor these trends as many of
the Buffalo and Southern Tier area creeks/rivers are expected to hit
action stage with this slug of additional rain, though wider
flooding concerns are low at this time. Enough instability may
develop to support some isolated thunder again along the front,
especially east of Lake Ontario.

Expect another relative lull in rainfall following the passage of
the front as a brief dry slot works east across the area. This will
be followed by more widespread rain moving back into Western NY later
in the day as the wrap around/comma head moisture and forcing arrive
on the rear flank of the system.

Tonight, the mid level closed low will move east across southern
Ontario, with deep wrap around moisture and cyclonic flow supporting
a continuation of widespread rain. A cold pool aloft will arrive
overnight, and the boundary layer will continue to cool. This will
allow some wet snow to mix in overnight, first across higher
elevations and then possibly some lower elevations by late Friday
night. The highest terrain of the Southern Tier, western Finger
Lakes, and Tug Hill Plateau may change to all wet snow with a few
inches possible late Friday night through Saturday morning.

Wind Details...

This system will also produce an extended period of gusty winds
across the region. A strong southeasterly low level jet will
propagate across the eastern Great Lakes through the rest of the
overnight hours. This will support local 45+ mph gusts in a few
downslope areas, mainly along the north/northwest slopes of the Tug
Hill Plateau where the strongest low level jet and most favorable
low level stability profiles are found for downslope acceleration.
Gusts near 50mph have been observed in this area early this morning.
A Wind Advisory remains in effect for Jefferson and Lewis counties.

A cold front will arrive in Western NY closer to daybreak, then move
northeast across the rest of the area today. Southwest winds will
increase along and behind the cold front, especially northeast of
Lake Erie. Expect gusts of 40-45 mph Friday across the Niagara
Frontier including Buffalo. Relatively poor low level lapse rates
should prevent gusts from reaching advisory criteria for an extended
period of time, but it will be close.

Winds become more westerly Friday night behind a secondary cold
front, with steepening lapse rates supporting widespread 35-45 mph
gusts. There is a chance a few areas may reach wind advisory
criteria gusts, especially near the lakeshores and across higher
terrain.

Temperature Details...

Temperatures will stay mild overnight, in the 50s or even low 60s.

A strong cold front will reach Western NY closer to dawn, with
temperatures falling quickly into the 40s. Temperatures will hold
steady or slowly fall in Western NY through the day today, with
falling temperatures for the rest of the area. Temperatures will
drop into the 30s tonight areawide, with upper 30s lakeshores and
low to mid 30s higher terrain.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
A mix of rain and snow (wet snow mainly above 900 ft) early Saturday
morning will slowly decrease in coverage from west to east as we
progress though the day. While there will be some snow fall,
elevation dependent, additional accumulations of under an inch is
all that is expected for the highest points. It will also continue
to be quite breezy with sustained WNW winds of 15 to 25 mph gusting
up to 40 mph at times. Highs will range from the upper 30s to low
40s east of Lake Ontario with mid and upper 40s near 50F elsewhere.

A brief lull between systems will occur Saturday night with dry
weather expected areawide for much of the night. Lows will be found
in the 30s to low 40s.

A fast moving shortwave and sfc reflection dropping through the
Great Lakes Sunday will then introduce chances for showers or even a
thunderstorm. The best shot at see a thunderstorm will be found
across the S. Tier with in the warm sector and along an advertised
tightening H850 thermal gradient across the region. BUFKIT profiles
do show MUCAPE values of 200-500 J/kg across the S. Tier to the
NY/PA line. Otherwise...a wide range of temps will be found across
the forecast area. Highs will peak in the 40s/50s east of Lake
Ontario with solid 50s to even low 60s across western New York.

The weak low quickly departs by Sunday evening with surface high
pressure building in across the region. A cooler air mass will be in
the process of filtering into the eastern Great Lakes with H850
temps falling down to -2C to -3C by Monday morning. Lows will
generally be found in the 40s with a few colder spots east of Lake
Ontario.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Another round of weak surface-based ridging will slide across our
area Monday and Monday night and bring another period of mainly dry
weather. This ridge will then slide off to our east on Tuesday...
while giving way to a sprawling cutter-type low that will lumber its
way from the central Plains states to near James Bay through the
rest of the period. This next system will usher in warmer and more
unsettled weather that will feature frequent opportunities for
showers from Tuesday afternoon through Thursday...though there will
also likely be some drier periods interspersed. In addition...
diurnal instability may also support the potential for a few
thunderstorms across far southwestern New York Tuesday afternoon and
early evening...then again south of Lake Ontario both Wednesday and
Thursday afternoons/evenings.

With respect to temperatures...these should average out a solid 5 to
10 degrees above normal Monday and Monday night...before trending
even more strongly above normal for Tuesday through Thursday as the
aforementioned cutter low spreads even warmer air across our region.
During the latter three days of the period...it currently appears
that highs will range from the mid-upper 60s east of Lake Ontario to
the 70s across much of western New York.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
A deepening low pressure system sliding just northwest of the region
across the central Great Lakes will continue to send multiple rounds
of rain showers through the region, resulting in highly variable
flight conditions through the 06z TAF cycle.

Rain showers will continue to produce areas of MVFR and localized
IFR cigs/vsbys, mainly across far western NY (KIAG/KBUF/KJHW)
through the morning hours tonight. A cold front arriving closer to
daybreak will push the bulk of the precipitation through the region
from west to east, exiting the eastern Lake Ontario region around
18z. Wrap-around moisture will then produce additional showers with
IFR conditions across western NY later Friday afternoon and evening.

As of 06z, the system's strong southeasterly LLJ is producing strong
wind gusts east of Lake Ontario, mainly from the Tug Hill to
KART/GTB. These will subside after 09z as the LLJ shifts east of the
region. The arrival of the cold front this morning will cause winds
to shift southwesterly and strengthen, especially northeast of Lake
Erie. Gusts to 40kts will be possible across KBUF/KIAG for a
sizable portion of the day.

Outlook...

Friday night...MVFR/IFR with rain, mixing with or changing to wet
snow overnight. Windy.
Saturday...MVFR/IFR early with rain and wet snow, gradually
improving to VFR from west to east in the afternoon. Windy.
Sunday...VFR/MVFR with a chance of showers and possibly a
thunderstorm.
Monday...Mainly VFR.
Tuesday...Mainly VFR with a chance of showers late.

&&

.MARINE...
Strong southeast winds will continue to produce Small Craft Advisory
conditions on the east half of Lake Ontario where winds are
strongest. The wind is generally offshore, so larger wave action
will be on the Canadian shoreline.

A cold front will sweep east across the Lower Great Lakes early this
morning. Winds will become southwest and increase, first on Lake
Erie closer to daybreak, and then on Lake Ontario from west to east
later today. This will produce a period of high end Small Craft
Advisory conditions leading into the weekend.

Winds will increase further on Lake Ontario late tonight through
Saturday, when a period of gales is likely. A Gale Watch remains in
effect for Lake Ontario for this period. Highest confidence in gales
for a longer period of time is on the east half of the lake, but the
west half may get close as well for a shorter duration.

&&

.BUF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
NY...Wind Advisory until 5 AM EDT early this morning for NYZ007-008.

and Springville
155 AM EDT Fri Apr 12 2024

An area of moderate rain with some embedded bands of heavier
rainfall will move through over the next two to three hours.
Around three quarters to one inch of rain has fallen across these
areas in the past six hours or so. Potential for another half to
one inch of rainfall will be possible in areas that see the most
persistent rain over the next couple of hours. This may cause
some flooding in low-lying and poor drainage areas. Motorists
should also be aware of ponding on area roadways.
