6/25/2017 - NOAA is having a major issue that impact the 7 day forecast load times. Many users are reporting problems. The issue has been reported. 5/23/2017 - Worked with NOAA again to speed up the 7 day forecast load times. Thanks to them for being responsive. 5/19/2016 - There were issues with the 3 day airport observation history. I switched to another data source. Let me know if you see any issues with the data feeds. |

(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus61 kbuf 201040 afdbuf area forecast discussion national weather service buffalo ny 640 am edt Sun aug 20 2017 Synopsis High pressure will move off the the mid-atlantic coast today into tonight. Return flow developing between this surface high and the next approaching low pressure system will build heat and humidity through Tuesday. A strong cold front will cross the region late Tuesday, and may be accompanied by strong to severe thunderstorms. The work week will end with a touch of fall in the air as a sprawling canadian high pressure builds in cooler and drier air. Near term through tonight Goes-16 advanced nighttime microphysics rgb this morning shows areas of valley across the western southern tier. Any patchy fog will dissipate after sunrise today, with diurnal heating and increased mixing. A few to scattered diurnal cumulus will develop inland from the lake shadows from niagara falls to rochester and southward into the upper genesee valley and finger lakes. Otherwise, expect abundant sunshine elsewhere today as high pressure and increase subsidence builds into the region, with very seasonable temperatures in the mid 70s to low 80s. Tonight, high pressure will slide off the mid-atlantic coast with light southerly return flow developing. Nocturnal decoupling of winds in interior valleys, along with mainly clear skies, will support another round of patchy southern tier valley fog. Otherwise, temperatures tonight will run a touch warmer than last night, with lows in the mid 50s in interior valleys to the low to mid 60s across the lake plains. Short term Monday through Tuesday night On Monday surface high pressure will drift off the mid atlantic coast and take up the classic late summer bermuda high position, pumping increasing heat and humidity into our region. The latest 00z nam develops widely scattered convection across the higher terrain of the western southern tier and western finger lakes during the afternoon. Other guidance such as the GFS and ECMWF are less aggressive with the moisture return, and warming mid level temps will likely provide a cap to deep moist convection. With this in mind, have kept the Monday forecast dry. Viewing conditions for the partial solar eclipse should be good, with just scattered diurnal cumulus and thin high cirrus. 850mb temps will warm to around +17c by afternoon, supporting highs in the mid to upper 80s across lower elevations inland from the lakes. Monday night a mid level trough will sharpen over the upper midwest, with a gradual increase in moisture and ascent downstream bringing thickening clouds and possibly a few scattered showers and thunderstorms to our region overnight. A southerly breeze and increasing clouds will keep temperatures very warm, with lows in the lower 70s on the lake plains of western ny, and mid to upper 60s elsewhere. The biggest period of interest over the next week will focus on Tuesday and Tuesday night. A longwave trough will deepen over the great lakes region, with an embedded strong shortwave approaching our region late Tuesday, then crossing Tuesday night. An associated strong cold front will move through the area Tuesday night. As is almost always the case, the cold front will be preceded by a pre- frontal trough Tuesday afternoon and evening, which will interact with lake breeze boundaries and provide an initial focus for convection Tuesday afternoon, followed by another round Tuesday night with the actual cold front. It will again be warm and humid, with highs in the mid 80s inland from the lakes. Southwest winds will become quite gusty as the pressure gradient tightens, especially northeast of lake erie where gusts to 40 mph are possible. This system will have severe weather potential, with strong deep layer shear developing across the warm sector and strong forcing provided by the deepening mid level system. One potential negative will be the warm mid level temperatures and poor lapse rates which could temper instability to some extent, although cooling mid level temps late in the day with the approach of the mid level trough may |
mitigate this. The primary risk will be damaging winds given the strong unidirectional flow regime. Pwat will be high and storms will produce heavy downpours, but fast storm motion will likely prevent much risk of flooding. Tuesday night the cold front sweeps across the area with showers and storms ending from west to east overnight. Long term Wednesday through Saturday A seasonably deep longwave trough will become established for the second half of the week over the great lakes and northeast, bringing a period of below normal temperatures to our region. Wednesday and Thursday a northwest flow across the lakes and cold air aloft will support a good deal of lake effect and upslope clouds, and possibly even a few scattered showers at times. The airmass is plenty cold enough for lake effect rain, but short northwest fetch and a dry synoptic scale background will keep this limited. Surface high pressure will begin to build into the area by Friday and should bring an end to any scattered showers. Temperatures will bottom out on Thursday and Friday when highs may struggle to get out of the 60s even at lower elevations. Next weekend high pressure will settle directly overhead. This should provide a dry and sunny weekend with highs in the 70s and cool nights with low humidity and light winds. Aviation 12z Sunday through Thursday Any valley fog will quickly dissipate this morning, with mostly clear skies and some scattered diurnal cumulus resulting in widespreadVFR conditions during the day. More patchy southern tier valley fog is expect tonight with localized ifr, otherwise widespreadVFR will prevail under mostly clear skies. Outlook... Monday...VFR. Tuesday... MainlyVFR, with a chance of showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon. Tuesday night... MVFR ifr, with showers and thunderstorms likely. Wednesday and Thursday...VFR MVFR with a chance of showers. Marine Northwest wind on the east end of lake ontario will continue to subside this morning as a ridge of high pressure settles over the lake today. Otherwise, a stiff lake breeze will develop on lake erie this afternoon as the surface high slides off the mid-atlantic coast. Expect winds and waves today will remain below small craft criteria level, although lake erie may be a bit choppy this afternoon. Lighter southerly flow Monday and Monday night will direct any waves mainly toward canadian waters. Then a strong cold front will cross the region Tuesday which will eventually require small craft advisory headlines that may linger through Wednesday or Wednesday night. A few strong to possibly severe thunderstorms are also possible Tuesday ahead of the cold front. Buf watches warnings advisories Ny... None. Marine... None. Synopsis... Church near term...
