Area Discussion for - Buffalo, NY
(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus61 kbuf 260524 afdbuf area forecast discussion national weather service buffalo ny 124 am edt Mon aug 26 2019 Synopsis Surface high pressure over new england will provide all of new york with another dry day on Monday. A warm front will move across the region on Tuesday and give far western new york a chance for some rain, then a cold front will give all of western and central new york chances for rain on Wednesday. Slightly cooler weather will return behind the cold front on Thursday and Friday. Near term through today Ir satellite imagery showing the last of the stratocumulus drifting into the bay of quinte region of southeast ontario, with clear skies across our region. High thin cirrus will continue to drift into western ny overnight. Some river valley fog will develop across the western southern tier in the typical locations. Lows will drop back into the 50s in most areas, with some mid to upper 40s in the cooler southern tier valleys and east of lake ontario. A huge longwave ridge is firmly established over the great lakes region while an upper level trough moves into the plains. The ridge is responsible for a large surface high pressure centered over the northeast us. On Monday, the cirrus shield should continue NE across wny and later cny, with slowly increasing opacity with time. This should result in mostly cloudy skies over and south of kbuf, but with less overall cloud cover toward the eastern lake ontario region. But, the pesky thin layer of moisture that's produced daily bouts of stratocumulus over the past few days will have a harder time reforming with less overall insolation and boundary layer mixing. The moisture will still be there, but the increasing cirrus should provide just enough shielding to prevent the resurgent low topped convection and subsequent cloud formation. Meanwhile, slow but steady increasing temperatures should result in highs increasing by ~5f from persistence, or in the mid to upper 70s. Short term tonight through Wednesday night A warm front will approach from the west Monday night then cross the area on Tuesday, as high pressure retreats eastward off the new england coast. The majority of the area will remain dry Monday night with the exception of late in the night when some showers may reach far western ny. Strengthening warm advection along the nose of a 40 kt low level jet will move across western ny Tuesday. The best warm air advection will be from the finger lakes west where there will be some showers along the front on Tuesday. 12z model guidance is slightly stronger with the low level jet, enough so that there may even be gusty downslope winds near lake erie off the chautauqua ridge late Monday night into Tuesday morning. There will be a wide range in temperatures Monday night with lows in the lower to mid 50s across the valleys of the southern tier and east of lake ontario. However, an increasing sse flow will lead to downsloping near lake erie where lows will only be in the lower to mid 60s. High temperatures on Tuesday will be similar to Monday, however there will be a noticeable uptick in the humidity, especially across western ny, as dew points rise into the mid 60s. A cold front will approach western ny Tuesday night and then slowly move east across the forecast area during the day Wednesday. 12z model consensus is slightly slower with the timing of this front. The main threat with this front appears to be a period of heavy rain just ahead of the boundary with pwat values rising to 1.75-2.00" within a ribbon of deep moisture pooling just ahead of the cold front on the leading edge of 30-40kt low level jet. Will keep just the chance for thunder in the forecast as instability along the front is marginal. Deep southerly flow combined with increased cloud cover will keep low temperatures across most areas in the 60s Tuesday night, with some upper 50s across the higher terrain east of lake ontario. Highs on Wednesday will be in the mid to upper 70s for most areas, with some low 70s across the higher terrain. The front will push east of the area by Wednesday night, with showers and embedded thunderstorms ending from west to east Wednesday afternoon and evening. The front will usher in cooler air |
aloft with consensus 850mb temperatures dropping to around +10c by late Wednesday night, and these will even be a bit cooler across lake erie. The combination of lingering moisture from an upper level trough and the cooler air may support limited lake effect showers northeast of lake erie late Wednesday night. Long term Thursday through Sunday Lake effect rain showers may still be supported northeast of lake erie Thursday morning as 850 mb temperatures continue to remain sub +10c through 18z, with the upper level low continuing to slowly shift to the east. Diurnal effects will end the lake effect potential by Thursday afternoon, although a few cold core showers can not be ruled out over interior sections during peak afternoon heating. Surface high pressure to our south will slide to the mid- atlantic region bringing in warmer and drier air for Thursday night into Friday. Thursday night looks dry and this trend may last through the entirety of Friday, but both the GFS and ecmwf start to stretch a cold front toward the region by late in the day Friday. Cold front will move through the region Friday night or Saturday. Gfs is much more optimistic with mainly dry weather right through Sunday, while the ECMWF develops a wave along the front suggesting a much better potential for rain. Will trend the forecast more toward the drier GFS and continuity at this point until model consensus comes into better agreement. Temperatures will not stray much from normal, with highs in the 70s and lows in the mid to upper 50s through this period. Aviation 06z Monday through Friday Mainly clear skies will continue overnight through Monday morning with just some thin high cirrus drifting across western ny. Typical southern tier river valley fog will develop, with local ifr from about 07z-13z. This is not expected to impact the kjhw terminal. Once the valley fog burns off in the southern tier,VFR will prevail on Monday. Model guidance still shows a layer of moisture centered on 850mb across western ny, so expect a good deal of cumulus development during the midday and afternoon from the genesee valley westward, with bases around 5k feet. The cumulus will mostly dissipate Monday evening, with high clouds then thickening and lowering from west to east ahead of the next system. A warm front will approach western ny after about 09z Tuesday, bringing with it an increasing chance of showers. CIGS vsby will likely remainVFR through 12z Tuesday as the low levels remain unsaturated with the initial arrival of showers. Outlook... Tuesday through Wednesday... MainlyVFR with some short periods of MVFR from showers and thunderstorms. Thursday and Friday... MainlyVFR, some brief MVFR with showers possible. Marine Relatively light and variable winds with corresponding light wave action are expected into Monday as surface high pressure moves slowly east across the region. A warm front will move through on Tuesday, followed by a cold front on Wednesday. Winds will be slowly veering from S to SW during this time, but overall should remain below sca.
