Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
203 PM EDT Wed Jul 24 2024

.SYNOPSIS...
A humid airmass along with an approaching trough will continue to
produce areas of showers and thunderstorms through this evening. A
few storms may contain isolated strong wind gusts and hail, along
with brief torrential downpours. A few more showers will linger
overnight through Thursday east of Lake Ontario, with dry weather
elsewhere. High pressure will then build into the Northeast Friday
through the weekend with an extended period of dry weather and day
to day warming.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
Radar and satellite imagery showing scattered to numerous showers
and thunderstorms developing this afternoon, mainly along and inland
of the lake breeze boundaries. Moderate instability has developed
with daytime heating, and there is a little more shear today than
the past few days (around 30 knots per KBUF VWP data). A few of the
early updrafts that developed had better structure and prompted SVR
warnings, and this may continue through the rest of the afternoon
with a few isolated instances of better storm structure and
associated wind/hail potential. Overall, the limited shear and large
number of updrafts competing for instability may keep the SVR risk
isolated in nature.

Meanwhile, mature stable lake shadows will initially lower the
chance of storms over and northeast of Lake Erie, and over the east
end of Lake Ontario, including Buffalo and Watertown. A few storms
may be able to break through these stable lake shadows by early
evening as the flow off the lakes weakens, and as large scale ascent
from the approaching trough increases.

The more organized showers and thunderstorms will end from west to
east this evening. This will leave mainly dry weather overnight in
Western NY and the western Finger Lakes, although a few showers may
linger east of Lake Ontario.

Thursday, a sharpening mid level trough axis along with steepening
lapse rates with daytime heating will produce scattered showers east
of Lake Ontario, along with a chance of an isolated afternoon
thunderstorm. Meanwhile for the rest of the area, less moisture and
forcing will support a return to mainly dry weather. A cooler and
less humid airmass will filter into the region Thursday, with highs
in the 70s and dewpoints dropping into the 50s.

Thursday night, any remaining showers east of Lake Ontario will
gradually end as the mid level trough exits east across New England.
Given how warm the lakes are, the airmass will be cool enough aloft
to support some lake effect clouds east/southeast of Lake Ontario
and Lake Erie overnight. Lows will drop back into the 50s inland
from the immediate lakeshores.

&&

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Fair, dry weather guaranteed Friday and through the last weekend in
July as a progressive 590dm ridge moves across the Great Lakes
region. Other than some diurnal cumulus or the occasional passing
mid/high clouds, expect plenty of sunshine each day and clear skies
at night accompanied by light winds.

A notable day to day warming trend can be expected as the ridge
moves directly overhead Saturday, then crests east of the region by
Sunday. Highs in the upper 70s and low 80s Friday will warm all the
way to the upper 80s and even a few low 90s by Sunday. Nighttime
lows will be rather cool Friday night with good radiational cooling,
ranging from the low 50s across the hilltops to upper 50s across the
lower terrain. Warmer temps expected Saturday night with mid 50s to
mid 60s for overnight lows.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
Deepening southwest flow will set up across the area heading into
the start of the new work week as the next mid-level trough pivots
across the Mid-west and Great Lakes. This will support heat and
humidity to return Monday and Tuesday with highs ranging int he
upper 80s to low 90s.

A head of the mid-level trough, diurnally driven convection will
develop Monday afternoon across far western New York and then more
widespread convection Tuesday when the trough axis is overhead of
the region.

A frontal passage Wednesday will support additional showers and
thunderstorms. In the wake of the frontal passage, temperatures will
be a few degrees cooler with highs peaking in the 80s.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Areas of showers and thunderstorms will continue through this
evening, especially inland and away from the stable lake shadows
over and northeast of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. These storms will
produce brief/local restrictions to VSBY/CIGS but overall VFR will
prevail between the storms. Stable lake shadows will keep the
chances of convection lower at KBUF and KART initially, with a brief
window with a thunder chance early this evening.

Tonight, a few showers will linger east of Lake Ontario, but the
thunder risk will end by mid evening. Lower elevations will stay
mainly VFR, with areas of MVFR CIGS developing across the higher
terrain east of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario as some lake effect and
upslope clouds develop behind the cold front.

Thursday, lower CIGS across higher terrain in the morning will
improve to mainly VFR by midday. Most areas will stay dry, with
scattered showers developing east of Lake Ontario.

Outlook...

Thursday night through Monday...Mainly VFR. Valley fog possible
mainly across the Southern Tier with local IFR each overnight
through early morning.

&&

.MARINE...
Scattered thunderstorms will continue into this evening with the
potential for locally higher winds and waves, although better
coverage of thunderstorms is expected to be across inland areas.

A cold front will cross the lower Great Lakes tonight, with westerly
winds increasing on Lake Ontario late tonight through Thursday. This
will produce a round of Small Craft Advisory conditions on the east
half of Lake Ontario Thursday.

High pressure will build into the Great Lakes Friday and then drift
slowly east over the weekend, with an extended period of dry weather
and light winds.
