Don't know if the weather is getting crazier or just the fact more people are out and capturing it. Storms really didn't look that impressive on radar but there were several water spouts and funnel clouds spotted this afternoon. Really caught me off guard after the initial forecast was for a sunny dry day. Here is the AFD from this morning and a few pictures I linked from some FB pages... During the afternoon a fairly sharp mid level trough will approach the region with increasing DPVA. Moisture will be fairly shallow with this feature, so it will need the help of mesoscale processes to force convection. Expect lake breezeboundaries to play the primary role, with widely scattered showers and thunderstorms developing from the western Southern Tier into the western Finger Lakes and southern Tug Hill region this afternoon and evening. Stable lake shadows will develop northeast of the lakes this afternoon and prevent any convection from the Niagara Frontier to Rochester and across Jefferson county, and also provide more sunshine. Were these all on one day? All waterspouts, nothing over land? How many spouts were there? I went to the lake today to try to get some pics of some spouts but no luck.

Feels like the first one of the summer, absolutely nothing could put a dimmer on this day. Oh wait, 60% of the sun is now disappearing behind the moon, and temp is falling.... Don't really care, just kind of funny that it seems nature is doing everything in its power this summer to avoid sun/heat by whatever means available. Departures from normals are not that far apart surprisingly, unless I'm looking at the wrong data, looked very quickly.

SouthBuffaloSteve Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Might of canceled the watch a little early. Intense line about to smack the metro. Inflow into the line is crazy clouds are just ripping up into it... Can't tell if it's bowing out or if the south side of the metro is gonna get a training line...

Chinook Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Hopefully this is a fairly good representation of the sounding at some of these spots where storms developed. From SPC mesoanalysis, MUCAPE in the area was 1000-2000 J/kg with 40 to 55 kt of effective shear. SRH may have been 200-250 m2/s2 in central New York when the supercell(s) got going. So the 3km SRH on this sounding may be lower than what was happening with this storms, by a significant amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All spouts but the funnels really carried inland with these. No idea how many but the double was spotted over Lackawanna and South Buffalo. There was one right in Buffalo harbor that slid over downtown. Another was seen in the Blasdell Hamburg area. And I think another one down in the southern tier.

BuffaloWeather Posted August 24, 2017 Author Share Posted August 24, 2017 I can't even. I passed the lakeshore and didn't see anything, must have not been patient enough. I've chased like 10 times this summer for spouts and still nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(From my tablet) I went down to Nashville, and saw the eclipse in a city park on the northern edge of the city (2:21 totality). It was the most exceptional thing I have ever seen. I can't wait until 2024. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaT13 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I was down in Western North Carolina for the Eclipse. Clouds nearly sank us at the last minute but we just barely eeked it out! Probably the most amazing natural phenomenon that I've ever witnessed. Incredible stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lakeeffectkid383 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Down to 38 degrees here this morning which is just crazy for not being in a very rural location or in a mountain valley. Of course today is the 1st day of September, cause I was gonna say I don't think I've ever experienced 30s in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaT13 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 These latest runs are looking great for a major hit on the East Coast. Been waiting awhile for one of these.
