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.

Looks like BUF is finally going to get a good line of storms! It just had that feeling outside today that the skies were going to let loose.

This is in part due to the EML. Unique situation for us!

Upgraded to an excessive heat warning..NWS has us getting to 90° under mostly cloudy skies, we'll see about that lol 

Currently 75° with full overcast..

Mostly cloudy and hot, with a high near 90.

 

This “heatwave” has been a HUGE bust here. 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.

A dud here, but the Midwest the heat has been substantial. Heat Index approaching 120 in many spots.

Most local stations around here are low to mid 90s with indices up to 115. 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. Would you consider this hotter than last years heat wave?

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.

Let’s see if these can bust through that lake breeze tonight. 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.

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.

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.
