(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus61 kbuf 260822 afdbuf area forecast discussion national weather service buffalo ny 422 am edt Mon aug 26 2019 Synopsis High pressure drifting slowly east across new england will bring more dry weather today with near normal temperatures. A warm front will then move into the area Tuesday morning, followed quickly by a cold front late Tuesday night and early Wednesday. This will bring a several rounds of showers and possibly a few isolated thunderstorms. Mainly dry weather will return Thursday as high pressure builds into the ohio valley. Near term through tonight Ir satellite imagery showing mainly clear skies across the region early this morning, with just some high thin cirrus drifting across western ny. Some river valley fog will continue across the western southern tier in the typical locations through about 9am. Surface high pressure will continue to drift slowly east across new england and quebec today. Associated subsidence and dry mid levels will continue to support dry weather today. Model point soundings show a layer of moisture around 850mb across western ny, and this will likely support another round of cumulus stratocumulus development from about the genesee valley westward with daytime heating. Areas east of lake ontario will see full sunshine with little or no moisture left in the low levels. Temperatures will be very close to average, with highs in the mid to upper 70s at lower elevations and lower 70s on the hills. The cumulus stratocumulus will mostly dissipate this evening with the loss of daytime heating. Mid high clouds will then thicken and lower from west to east overnight as warm advection and moisture ramp up ahead of the next system. A warm front will approach western ny very late tonight. Isentropic upglide and moisture transport supported by a 40+knot low level jet will support an area of showers just ahead of the warm front. These showers will enter western ny shortly before daybreak Tuesday. Given the agreement amongst the global and high-res model guidance, increased pops to likely very late tonight and early Tuesday morning west of the genesee valley. The increase in clouds will keep temperatures milder than recent nights, with lows in the low to mid 60s on the lake plains of western ny, and 50s across the southern tier valleys and east of lake ontario. These lows will likely occur around midnight, with rising temperatures late tonight as clouds thicken and southerly winds increase. Short term Tuesday through Wednesday night A warm front will cross the area on Tuesday, as high pressure retreats eastward off the new england coast. Strengthening warm advection along the nose of a 40kt low level jet will move across western ny Tuesday morning. The best warm air advection lift will be from the finger lakes west where there will be showers along the front through the first half of the day, with areas toward the eastern lake ontario region most likely remaining dry. As the warm front moves north of the area, believe all areas will see a brief dry period Tuesday afternoon before showers associated with a cold front approach western ny late in the evening. A strong sse low level jet will cause some gusty downslope winds near lake erie off the chautauqua ridge through early Tuesday afternoon. High temperatures on Tuesday will be in the mid to upper 70s, with low 70s elsewhere. 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 move into western ny during the second half of Tuesday night and then slowly move east across the forecast area during the day Wednesday. 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 30-35kt 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 +8 to +9c across lake erie Wednesday night, with these values moving over lake ontario by later Wednesday night into Thursday morning. The combination of lingering moisture from an upper level trough and the |
cooler air off the deck may support limited lake effect enhanced showers east and 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 effect 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 slid to the mid-atlantic region bringing in warmer and drier air 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 with much better chances for rain. Will trend mote toward the dry GFS at this point until model consensus comes into better alignment. Temperatures will not stray much from normal, with highs in the 70s and lows in the mid to upper 50s through this period. Aviation 09z Monday through Friday Mainly clear skies will continue through this 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 today. Model guidance still shows a layer of moisture centered on 850mb across western ny, so expect a good deal of cumulus stratocumulus development during the midday and afternoon from the genesee valley westward, with bases around 5k feet. The cumulus stratocumulus will mostly dissipate this evening, with mid 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 in most locations through 12z Tuesday as the low levels remain unsaturated with the initial arrival of showers. The one exception may be across the higher terrain of the southern tier, where MVFR CIGS in low stratus may develop late tonight. 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 High pressure will continue to drift slowly east across new england and quebec today. Easterly winds will increase on lake ontario today, producing choppy conditions on the west half of the lake. Winds will become sse tonight and increase to 15-20 knots late tonight and early Tuesday. This will produce choppy conditions on both lakes, but this wind direction will direct the greater wave action into canadian waters. A cold front will then cross the eastern great lakes late Tuesday night and early Wednesday. Winds will become southwest behind this cold front, producing choppy conditions at the east end of lakes erie and ontario. Buf watches warnings advisories Ny... None. Marine... None. Synopsis...

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. |
