AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BUFFALO NY
729 AM EDT TUE SEP 28 2010
.SYNOPSIS...
LOW PRESSURE OVER WEST VIRGINIA WILL DEEPEN AND LIFT NORTHWARD
TODAY...PASSING OVER OR JUST TO THE WEST OF BUFFALO THIS AFTERNOON
BEFORE LIFTING INTO WESTERN QUEBEC TONIGHT. THIS SYSTEM WILL BRING
MORE SHOWERS THE AREA THIS MORNING...WHICH WILL THEN BECOME MORE
SCATTERED FOR THIS AFTERNOON. GRADUALLY IMPROVING CONDITIONS ARE
THEN EXPECTED FOR TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY AS THE LOW LIFTS OUT ACROSS
QUEBEC PROVINCE...AND WEAK RIDGING BUILDS INTO THE AREA FROM THE
OHIO VALLEY.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
UPDATE AS OF 1130Z...LATEST SURFACE ANALYSES SHOW THE SECOND AND
MAIN SURFACE WAVE NOW LOCATED ALONG THE OHIO/PENNSYLVANIA BORDER.
3-HR PRESSURE FALLS ARE MAXIMIZED TO THE NORTH OF THIS LOW ACROSS
LAKE ERIE AND ADJACENT SOUTHERN ONTARIO...SO IT DEFINITELY APPEARS
AS IF THIS LOW WILL INDEED TRACK TO THE WEST OF BUFFALO DURING THE
LATE MORNING TO EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS...SETTING THE STAGE FOR SOME
RATHER WINDY CONDITIONS ACROSS THE NIAGARA FRONTIER FOLLOWING ITS
PASSAGE.
GOING FORECAST APPEARS LARGELY ON TRACK...WITH SEVERAL MORE SLUGS
OF SHOWER ACTIVITY OVER PA POISED TO LIFT NORTHWARD ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA DURING THE COURSE OF THIS MORNING...IN ADVANCE OF AN
OCCLUDING SURFACE COLD FRONT. AFTER THAT...SHARP DRY SLOTTING
SHOULD WORK NORTH INTO THE AREA...WITH PCPN DIMINISHING QUICKLY TO
SCATTERED SHOWERS FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST THROUGH EARLY
AFTERNOON. TWEAKED THE GRIDS A BIT TO KEEP THEM
CURRENT...OTHERWISE THE FORECAST REMAINS AS IT DID BEFORE. THE
FULL EARLY MORNING NEAR TERM DISCUSSION FOLLOWS BELOW...
07Z SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS THE INITIAL SURFACE WAVE RESPONSIBLE FOR
OUR FIRST ROUND OF RAIN NOW OVER CENTRAL LAKE ONTARIO...WITH A
SECOND AND DEEPENING AREA OF LOW PRESSURE NOW APPROACHING THE
PITTSBURGH AREA FROM NEARBY WEST VIRGINIA. THIS LATTER WAVE IS
ASSOCIATED WITH A POWERFUL MID AND UPPER-LEVEL SHORTWAVE NOW
ROTATING NORTHWARD AROUND THE EAST SIDE OF THE DEEP UPPER-LEVEL
TROUGH OVER THE OHIO VALLEY.
REGIONAL RADARS SHOW THAT THE BULK OF THE REMAINING SHOWER ACTIVITY
ASSOCIATED WITH THE INITIAL WAVE NOW LIFTING OUT ACROSS THE FAR
EASTERN FINGER LAKES REGION AND NORTH COUNTRY...AND ON PACE TO EXIT
OUR AREA COMPLETELY BY ABOUT 09Z. MEANWHILE TO OUR SOUTH...A SECOND
SURGE OF HEAVIER SHOWER ACTIVITY CONTINUES TO BLOSSOM TO THE NORTH
OF THE SECOND AND STRONGER WAVE...WITH THE NORTHERN EDGE OF THIS NOW
WORKING INTO THE NORTHERN TIER OF PENNSYLVANIA.
DURING THE NEAR TERM PERIOD...THE SECOND SURFACE LOW TO OUR SOUTH
WILL LIFT NORTHWARD TODAY IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE PARENT UPPER
SHORTWAVE...EVENTUALLY PASSING NEAR OR JUST TO THE WEST OF BUFFALO
THIS AFTERNOON. THEREAFTER...THE LOW IS EXPECTED TO LIFT
NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS NEARBY SOUTHERN ONTARIO AND INTO QUEBEC
TONIGHT. THE AREA OF SHOWERS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SECOND WAVE IS
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO DEVELOP AND WORK NORTHWARD INTO THE AREA
EARLY THIS MORNING...BRINGING EVERYONE SOME MORE OCCASIONAL SHOWER
ACTIVITY THROUGH ABOUT MID TO LATE MORNING...THOUGH THE HEAVIEST OF
THE SHOWERS LOOK AS IF THEY WILL REMAIN FROM ABOUT CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY
WESTWARD...CLOSEST TO THE TRACK OF THE CENTER OF THE LOW.
THEREAFTER...STRONG DRY SLOTTING WORKING NORTH AROUND THE EAST SIDE
OF THE LOW WILL SPREAD INTO THE AREA DURING THE LATE MORNING AND
EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS...RESULTING IN THE SHOWERS BECOMING MUCH MORE
WIDELY SCATTERED...WITH SOME PARTIAL SUNSHINE EVEN DEVELOPING ACROSS
PORTIONS OF THE FINGER LAKES AND NORTH COUNTRY. WITH SOME HEATING
DEVELOPING...CANNOT RULE OUT A FEW LOW-TOPPED THUNDERSTORMS
DEVELOPING ALONG THE LOW'S ASSOCIATED OCCLUDING COLD FRONT AS IT
PIVOTS NORTHEAST INTO THE AREA...BUT HAVE ELECTED TO NOT INCLUDE
THIS IN THE FORECAST FOR NOW GIVEN THAT THIS IS FAR FROM CERTAIN.
AS THE CENTER OF THE LOW PASSES OVER OR JUST TO THE WEST OF THE
NIAGARA FRONTIER THIS AFTERNOON...OUR WINDS WILL ALSO TEND MORE
SOUTH TO SOUTHWESTERLY AND PICK UP IN SPEED...WITH BREEZY CONDITIONS
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER A LARGE PORTION OF THE AREA BY EARLY THIS
AFTERNOON. IN FACT...OVER FAR WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE NIAGARA
FRONTIER...CONDITIONS SHOULD TURN DOWNRIGHT WINDY WITH THE PASSAGE
OF THE LOW...AS A 220 TO 230 DEGREE FLOW SETS UP OFF LAKE ERIE AND
925 MB WINDS INCREASE SHARPLY TO 40-45 KTS FOR A BRIEF PERIOD. THIS
SHOULD RESULT IN WINDS EASILY INCREASING TO THE 20-30 MPH RANGE...
WITH SOME GUSTS TO 40 MPH POSSIBLE FOR A TIME THIS AFTERNOON.
AS FOR TEMPERATURES...THE DEVELOPING BRISK SOUTH TO SOUTHWESTERLY
FLOW AND RETURN OF SOME PARTIAL SUNSHINE...COUPLED WITH 850 MB TEMPS
OF +12C TO +14C...SHOULD RESULT IN HIGH TEMPERATURES SOARING INTO AT
LEAST THE MID AND UPPER 70S FROM THE GENESEE VALLEY EASTWARD ACROSS
THE FINGER LAKES AND NORTH COUNTRY THIS AFTERNOON...AND CANNOT
TOTALLY RULE OUT A FEW SPOTS TOUCHING 80F FOR A BRIEF PERIOD.
FURTHER WEST...SOMEWHAT GREATER AMOUNTS OF CLOUD COVER AND COOLER
TEMPS ALOFT WILL RESULT IN SOMEWHAT COOLER READINGS IN THE UPPER 60S
TO LOWER 70S...BUT THESE WILL STILL BE ABOVE NORMAL.
THEN AS WE GET INTO TONIGHT...OUR WINDS SHOULD VEER TO WESTERLY AND
DIMINISH FAIRLY QUICKLY THIS EVENING AS THE LOW LIFTS OFF INTO
QUEBEC...AND WE LOSE DIURNAL HEATING MIXING. BEHIND THE DEPARTING
LOW...A LARGE AREA OF DEEP WRAPAROUND MOISTURE WILL PIVOT EAST INTO
NEW YORK STATE...RESULTING IN A RETURN TO WIDESPREAD LOW CLOUDS FOR
THE ENTIRE AREA. THIS DEEP MOISTURE...COMBINED WITH THE WESTERLY
UPSLOPE FLOW...WILL RESULT IN SHOWER CHANCES CONTINUING THROUGH MUCH
OF THE NIGHT ACROSS THE TYPICALLY FAVORED AREAS OF THE SOUTHERN TIER
AND NORTH COUNTRY...WHILE THE REMAINDER OF THE AREA SHOULD SEE A
RETURN TO GENERALLY DRY CONDITIONS. UNDER A WEAK COOL AIR ADVECTION
REGIME...TEMPS WILL FALL BACK INTO THE 50S...BUT WILL REMAIN A BIT
HIGHER THAN WHAT THEY OTHERWISE MIGHT BE GIVEN THE EXPECTED CLOUD
COVER AND PERSISTENCE OF AT LEAST SOME MODEST WESTERLY WINDS.
&&
.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
MAIN FEATURE DURING THIS PERIOD CONTINUES TO BE THE POTENTIAL FOR A
MAJOR COASTAL STORM ON THURS/THURS NT...AND ITS TRACK AND WESTWARD
EXTENT OF INFLUENCE...WITH OUR REGION ON ITS WESTERN PERIPHERY.
PRIOR TO THAT...WE LOOK TO HAVE A QUIET WEDNESDAY AS REMNANT TROF
FROM TODAY'S SYSTEM DISSIPATES IN PLACE. ANY LINGERING SHOWERS SHOULD
BE RESTRICTED TO OUR ERN LK ONTARIO REGION AND END EARLY...BUT WE
WILL LIKELY HAVE TROUBLE ERODING THE LOW CLOUDS. WILL PLAY
IMPROVEMENT BUT IT MAY BE WELL INTO THE AFTERNOON BEFORE SUNSHINE
PREVAILS. TEMPS SHOULD REBOUND NICELY TO U60S/NR 70 ASSUMING WE GET
SEVERAL HOURS OF SUNSHINE. WED NT SHOULD REMAIN DRY.
NOW...THE MAIN QUESTION IS THE STORM THURS AND HOW CLOSE IT GETS TO
OUR REGION. 00Z NAM CONTINUES TO BE AN OUTLIER IN LIFTING LOW UP
ACROSS MD AND PA INTO EASTERN NY...WITH COPIOUS RAINS ALL THE WAY
BACK TO BUF...BUT MOST OTHER MODELS...INCL GFS...UKMET AND ECMWF
TAKE IT ON A MORE CLIMO PATH ALONG COAST WITH BACK EDGE OF RAIN
VARYING FROM NEAR BUF (GFS) TO SYR (UK/GEM). 00Z ECMWF JUST ARRIVED
AND DOES TAKE IT FURTHER WEST THAN LAST RUN...WITH HEAVY RAIN ACROSS
CNTRL NY AND SHARP BACK EDGE OF RAIN NEAR BUF. FOR OUR
FORECAST...USED A CONSENSUS OF MODELS...WITH LESS WEIGHT ON NAM
(USUALLY SUSPECT BEYOND 48 HRS OR SO ANYWAY). EXISTING POPS WERE
FAIRLY GOOD...JUST TIGHTENED THEM UP A BIT...FROM 30-35 POPS NR LK
ERIE TO 60-65 POPS FINGER LKS/NORTH COUNTRY...WITH BEST THREAT THURS
AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING. THIS STORM WILL HAVE A TROPICAL CONNECTION
WITH SOME SERIOUS RAINS...BUT IT LOOKS TO STAY CLOSER TO THE COAST
WITH LOW THREAT FOR HEAVY RAIN ALONG OUR EASTERN FRINGES. WE WILL
MONITOR SITUATION CLOSELY. STAY TUNED...
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
THE LOW WILL EXIT INTO THE CANADIAN MARITIMES ON FRIDAY. 00Z GFS/12Z
EUROPEAN FAIRLY DIFFERENT IN THE SURFACE MAP...THOUGH THEY DO AGREE
ON THE GENERAL UPPER PATTERN. BOTH ESTABLISH THE MEAN TROF ACROSS
THE EASTERN LAKES REGION...WITH BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND COOL
AIR ALOFT A SAFE BET. THE GFS IS ABOUT 2C DEGREES COLDER WITH ITS
850 MB TEMPS...THOUGH EITHER WAY IT SHOULD BE COLD ENOUGH FOR DECENT
LAKE INDUCED CAPE...BUT NOT QUITE COLD ENOUGH FOR THE DREADED S WORD.
GIVEN THE POTENTIAL FOR LAKE EFFECT RAIN SHOWERS...CAN NOT RULE OUT
A SHOWER FOR MOST OF THE WEEKEND. UNFORTUNATELY...LAKE EFFECT RAIN
SHOWERS DEPEND ON SUBTLE DIFFERENCES IN WIND DIRECTION...WHICH IS
SIMPLY TOO UNCERTAIN TO PIN DOWN AT THIS POINT. UNTIL CONSENSUS
BUILDS ON THE SURFACE PATTERN...FOCUS CHANCE POPS ON
CLIMATOLOGICALLY FAVORED LOCATIONS FOR LAKE EFFECT...SE OF THE
LAKES...WITH BEST CHC SAT NT. FLOW DOES LOOK QUITE NORTHERLY
LIMITING FETCH. GENERALLY EXPECT MORE CLOUDS THAN SUN THROUGH THE
WEEKEND...WITH TEMPS STRUGGLING INTO L50S FOR MAXES AS 850 MB TEMPS
WILL BE IN ZERO TO -3C RANGE. FROST A GOOD POSSIBILITY IF AREAS
CLEAR...BUT THAT IS IN DOUBT. MORE SFC RIDGING SETS IN ON MONDAY
ALTHOUGH WE STILL WILL BE UNDER TROFFING ALOFT...BUT FEEL CONFIDENT
ENOUGH TO REMOVE POPS AND GO FOR A BRIGHT AND CRISP DAY.
&&
.AVIATION /11Z TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
LOW PRESSURE NEAR KYNG WILL DEEPEN AND LIFT NORTHWARD TODAY...PASSING
JUST TO THE WEST OF KBUF/KIAG LATE THIS MORNING/EARLY THIS
AFTERNOON...BEFORE LIFTING ON INTO WESTERN QUEBEC TONIGHT. THIS
SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF MOISTURE AND
PERIODIC BOUTS OF SHOWERS ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH THIS
MORNING...WITH CONDITIONS VARYING FROM LIFR/IFR ACROSS THE FAR
WEST...TO MVFR AND EVEN VFR FURTHER EAST. AS THE LOW PASSES BY
THIS AFTERNOON...CONDITIONS WILL TEND TO IMPROVE TO AT LEAST MVFR
FOR A TIME IN MOST AREAS...WITH SHOWERS BECOMING MUCH MORE
SCATTERED. IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS WILL THEN RETURN LATE TODAY AND
THIS EVENING AS AN AREA OF DEEP WRAPAROUND MOISTURE WORKS BACK
INTO THE AREA BEHIND THE DEPARTING LOW.
THERE WILL ALSO BE SOME WIND CONCERNS TODAY AFTER THE SURFACE LOW
PASSES JUST TO THE WEST OF KBUF/KIAG. WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE
LOW...SURFACE WINDS WILL SHIFT TO SOUTHWESTERLY AND PICK UP RATHER
ABRUPTLY...LIKELY REACHING THE 20-30 KT RANGE FOR A FEW
HOURS...WITH SOME GUSTS IN THE MID 30S POSSIBLE.
THEREAFTER...THESE SHOULD GRADUALLY DIMINISH DURING THE COURSE OF
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
OUTLOOK...
WEDNESDAY...IMPROVEMENT TO VFR.
THURSDAY...MAINLY VFR WEST OF THE GENESEE VALLEY...MVFR IN RAIN
LIKELY FURTHER EAST.
FRIDAY...VFR.
SATURDAY...MAINLY VFR.
&&
.MARINE...
LOW PRESSURE OVER WEST VIRGINIA WILL DEEPEN AND LIFT NORTHWARD
TODAY...PASSING OVER OR JUST TO THE WEST OF BUFFALO THIS AFTERNOON
BEFORE LIFTING INTO WESTERN QUEBEC TONIGHT...AND THEN OUT ACROSS
QUEBEC PROVINCE ON WEDNESDAY. LIGHT TO MODEST EAST TO
NORTHEASTERLIES WILL TEND TO MODERATE SOUTHERLIES...THEN BRISK
SOUTHWESTERLIES WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE LOW THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING...WHICH WILL NECESSITATE THE ISSUANCE OF SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORIES FOR ALL OUR LAKE ERIE AND ONTARIO NEARSHORE WATERS. AS
THE LOW LIFTS OUT ACROSS QUEBEC...WINDS WILL THEN VEER MORE WESTERLY
AND DIMINISH FROM WEST TO EAST TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY MORNING.
THE STRONGEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE NEARSHORE WATERS OF LAKE
ERIE IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE PASSAGE OF THE LOW THIS
AFTERNOON...WHEN SOUTHWESTERLY SURFACE WINDS WILL INCREASE BRIEFLY
TO THE 20-30 KNOT RANGE...AND GUSTS TO MARGINAL GALE FORCE WILL BE
POSSIBLE.
