LithiaWx Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Hi guys! I love the part of the country you call home. I'm visiting Oneida Lake, (South Bay/Canastota) area from 7/3-7/9. I'm pulling for cooler than normal weather. Does anyone have some insight on where you think the area ends up that week? I've been model watching and scorching looks very unlikely. I am a bit concerned it will be unsettled and stormy with the trof progged to be in place. I guess my hope is the trof sets up a bit farther east bringing cool and dry conditions. Any insight as to what's on the horizon at week would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last thing I want while Im camping is 60s and rain but Id 60s and sunshine or low 70s and sunshine with low humidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quincy Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 There should be at least an isolated severe thunderstorm threat tomorrow. Wind fields are better than the past few days and given closer proximity to an approaching trough, seeing moderate helicity values as well. It will be interesting to see how much daytime heating the area can achieve. 18z 4km NAM has a bunch of showers and does not look very impressive.

It will be interesting to see how much daytime heating the area can achieve. 18z 4km NAM has a bunch of showers and does not look very impressive. A weak surface trough ahead of the cold front looks like it might initiate showers around 15z, ahead of the more impressive 500 mb winds and in a less unstable environment. This is shown in both cores of the WRF run by NCEP. The environment still looks decent though ahead of the cold front in CNY, which might bring an isolated severe storm later.

ADKweather27 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Humid summer has been the theme for the upstate so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavy_wx Posted July 13, 2013 Author Share Posted July 13, 2013 Humid summer has been the theme for the upstate so far Looks like it will continue for much of this coming week. The dew point in ALB is already back up to 69 right now. The CIPS analogs based off of today's 12z GFS have quite a few notable high heat and humidity periods as matches. The probability of dew points greater than 75 for the evening of the 17th (derived from the top analogs) is around 50% in the capital region and even higher farther south. The probablilites of greater than 70 degree dew points are around 90%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 3rd straight 90 degree day here in Buffalo. Has the possibility of being 6 days straight if the SW wind off the lake does not go to far inland. If it does achieve that, it would be an all time record here. Buffalo airport averages 2-3 90+ degree days in a typical summer, so this is indeed very rare. The Buffalo Airport has never reached 100 degrees in record keeping history, only 99! Again, this is mainly due to the lake acting as a cooling mechanism for the airport. (Even though its 10-12 miles Northeast of the Lake) Fun Facts!

champy Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Longest heatwave in KSYR in over 20 years I guess...pretty impressive how entrenched this heat was. Kinda reminds me of that Omega block we were happy to endure that first week of May, as far as pattern stability goes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flying MXZ Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Definitely feeling fall-like today with the dry air and dew points in the low 50s and upper 40s. Yep, very nice day. Dropped to 44.6° this morning and should barely get to the 70's today. Nice preview of what is to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNash Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 What do you know, lake effect season is here a bit early. KBUF AFD: SUNDAY NIGHT THE UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL DIVE TOWARDS THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES REGION. ASSOCIATED WITH THISLOW WILL BE -2SD TEMPERATURE AND HEIGHT ANOMALIES. AT 850 HPA COLD +8C AIR WILL BE PASSING ACROSS LAKE ERIE...AND WITH THE CLOSED UPPER LEVEL LOW TO OUR WEST A SOUTHWEST FLOW UP LAKE ERIE WILL RESULT. THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES WATERS ARE STILL VERY WARM...SUCH THAT DELTA T`S BETWEEN THE 25-26C LAKE ERIE WATERS AND THE +7C AIR 850 HPA AIR WILL BE 18 TO 19C WHICH IS MODERATE LAKE INSTABILITY. WITH SYNOPTIC MOISTURE INCREASING WITHIN THE LOWER BOUNDARY LAYER AS MOISTURE WRAPS BACK AROUND OUR REGION...AND LIFT FROM LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE LAKE EFFECT RAIN IS LIKELY TO FORM LATE SUNDAY NIGHT AND INTO MONDAY MORNING OFF LAKE ERIE. WILL RAISE POPS TO LIKELY HERE... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
