yoda Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Mesoscale Discussion 1524 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1238 PM CDT Fri Jul 19 2019 Areas affected...Portions of northern Pennsylvannia...western/central New York Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible Valid 191738Z - 191945Z Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent SUMMARY...A WW will be possible this afternoon as storms move into western NY/PA out of southern Ontario. Marginally organized storms will be capable of damaging wind gusts. DISCUSSION...Ongoing storms in southern portions of Ontario related to an MCV have begun to organize into a linear complex over the past hour. Updrafts have continued to deepen with an increase of 50 dBZ areal extent noted on the MRMS 5 and 9 km CAPPI. The downstream environment continues to destabilize with dewpoints broadly in the mid/upper-70s F and temperatures rising into the 80s F. By afternoon, temperatures rising into the upper 80s to low 90s F will support 2500-3000 J/kg MLCAPE. Modest shear profiles (25-30 kts 0-6 km) will support marginal storm organization. The main threat with this activity will be damaging wind gusts as objective mesoanalysis depicts 1000-1300 J/kg DCAPE. Downdraft potential will likely increase as low-level lapse rates steepen as surface heating continues this afternoon. Weak low-level rotation may occur with storms interacting with the lake breeze front. Overall tornado potential will be low, however. A WW is possible later this afternoon. ..Wendt/Guyer.. 07/19/2019 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...BGM...BUF...CTP...PBZ...CLE...

Was 82 for a high yesterday with the heat index never getting above 90 and today we hit 85 for a brief moment but the temp has slipped back down to 82 with overcast and a current heat index of 91. Trust me I’m not complaining because this is still plenty hot enough for me but for all the hype surrounding this heatwave on social media and news outlets it’s been nothing but a dud. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is 94 and 80dp - 117hx Nice, lake Erie keeps us cool most of the time as the prevalent breeze is W/SW. That allows you guys to warm with a downslope flow.

We’re lucky enough to have a stiff breeze off mid-70s Lake Erie. Not many other places without altitude are getting though this without some suffering.

Could really go for a good thunderstorm! . Not a chance. Those things fell apart quicker than the Sabres after a November last year. Until the lake is warmer than the surrounding air you can forget about storms surviving. There's a severe thunderstorm warning here and I have no idea why, as the storms have literally completely fallen apart. Oh well, only about another month or so until the lake temp should start adding instability instead of stability to storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthBuffaloSteve Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 That line plowed over 1,000 miles today without a single hiccup until it hit Lake Erie... This thunderstorm warning is odd. States the cell is moving northeast along the lake from Angola? That cluster is almost dead and whatever is left is moving west into Hamburg Boston not into the city... There is a very nice lightning show looking south however. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know why it’s only Lake Erie that kills convection? As you said it’s crossed over other Great Lakes since yesterday, of which are also colder than Lake Erie due to their depth.

SouthBuffaloSteve Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Peak intensity earlier today. Take a look at the training storms over Michigan. Almost looks like the lake was feeding them. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
