(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus61 kbuf 221437 afdbuf area forecast discussion national weather service buffalo ny 1037 am edt Thu aug 22 2019 Synopsis Cooler and drier air will filter in across the region today, with just the chance for a few showers toward the pennsylvania state line. A large area of high pressure will then settle across the area bringing a nice stretch of dry and comfortable weather through early next week. Near term through tonight Radar imagery showing some returns over lake erie heading into the southern tier at 1030am. Most of this is likely aloft falling as sprinkles or brief showers with at 15-20f t TD spread at the surface. Will keep this region under a low probability of measurable rain through early afternoon, as the southern end of a cold front continues to slowly move east across the ny pa state line. Otherwise canadian high pressure will build in across the area today. This will usher in a much cooler and drier, early fall- like airmass across the region. Comfortable temperatures and humidity levels will be experienced today. Highs will be in the lower to middle 70s, with some spots across the higher terrain not getting out of the upper 60s. Strong canadian high pressure to the NW will continue to build across the area ensuring dry weather across the entire region tonight. Clear to partly cloudy skies and light winds will make for excellent radiational cooling conditions. This will allow for fog to form in the southern tier river valleys. Cold air advection will continue in earnest as 850mb temperatures plunge to around +8 to +9c by early Friday morning. This will translate to some fairly cool, but comfortable overnight temperatures by august standards, as lows drop back into the lower to middle 50s area wide, with some upper 40s across the the interior higher terrain. Short term Friday through Sunday night No large changes to going forecast. Still on track for first taste of fall-like conditions across the forecast area this time frame. Cold air advection continuing behind the cold front moving through this morning will keep a much cooler airmass in place for Friday and Saturday. After a stretch of humid conditions, a refreshingly less humid airmass will take hold right into the weekend. Friday into Saturday night, a cool NW flow will eventually turn nne across the region with h85 temps down to +7c, beginning to slightly moderate by late Saturday. Cool air aloft riding over very warm waters of lake ontario and lake erie results in a conditionally unstable airmass for lake effect processes, but soundings remain very dry. Most likely scenario will be no lake effect showers but a blossoming of stratocu clouds late morning into the afternoon both days. Daytime highs on Friday and Saturday should top out mainly in the upper 60s over southern tier and higher terrain east of lake ontario to the lower 70s elsewhere. Canadian sourced high pressure will provide light winds and clear skies overnight Friday night and Saturday night which may result in some valley fog both nights across the southern tier, and to a lesser extent east of lake ontario in the black river valley. Clear skies, light winds and dry airmass points to lows falling as cool as the mid 40s in the typical cold spots in the southern tier and east of lake ontario. Elsewhere, readings will fall to the lower to mid 50s. Sunday and Sunday night, a gradual warming trend begins as the broad canadian sourced high slowly slides east. This will allow return southerly flow to develop across our region which will encourage a |
return to near normal highs, mid and upper 70s. We'll still hang on to the lower humidity though so it should be a nice day for outdoor activities. Sunday night, the center of the surface high pressure slides further east to new brunswick and prince edward island. However, it will continue to maintain dry conditions as we head into the new work week. It won't be as cool overnight with lows expected in the 50s to low 60s by sunrise Monday morning. Long term Monday through Wednesday A return to above normal temperatures is likely during the long term period. At least with latest model runs, medium range guidance has come into better agreement with respect to how quickly the ridge slides further east and out to sea, and how quickly the next trough and associated moisture approaches from the west. GFS has been fastest with this overall scenario last couple days by bringing chances for convection into our region on Tuesday where the canadian and ECMWF had been slower, especially the ecmwf. At least for now, seems that GFS idea is supported more by canadian and ecmwf, so have increased pops for Tuesday. Even so pops will remain only chance level for showers and thunderstorms. With the above said, the combination of general airmass modification and strengthening warm air advection will lead to a day-to-day warming trend through this period with highs climbing into the low to mid 80s by midweek. Aviation 15z Thursday through Monday An expansive stratocumulus deck continues to slowly move east with a cold front stretching from the ohio valley ene across the ny pa line and into the adirondacks with some MVFR cigs. This should improve toVFR by early afternoon. Otherwise, expectVFR conditions through the evening. Clear to partly cloudy skies and light winds will make for excellent radiational cooling conditions overnight. This will allow for fog to form in the southern tier river valleys late. Outlook... Friday through Monday... MainlyVFR with nothing more than southern tier valley fog producing local ifr conditions each late night and morning. Marine Winds behind a cold front are in the process of shifting northwest, but the winds into this afternoon are not expected to be as strong as previously forecast. As a result, the small craft advisories for lake ontario have been cancelled. Will certainly still have choppy conditions, though criteria will not technically be met. Winds come around to the north-northeast tonight then become light northwest on Friday. Another push of north-northeast winds could result in another period of choppy conditions late Friday night into Saturday on lake ontario, but again it looks like conditions stay below small craft advisory criteria. Winds and waves will diminish later Saturday afternoon into Sunday. Buf watches warnings advisories Ny... None. Marine... None. Synopsis... Jm near term... Jm zaff short term... Ar jla long term...

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program. |
