A cold front stretches across southern Ontario this afternoon. A
warm and humid airmass remains in place across western and north
central NY. Cloud cover and showers across western NY has kept
temperatures down however dewpoints remain in the upper 60s to low
70s. Heat indices from the Genesee Valley to the western Finger
Lakes region will reach the low 90s today. A weak circulation moved
into western NY this morning and has put a damper on convective
initiation across much of western NY. On differential heating
boundaries, storms are beginning to form across Cattaraugus and
Allegany counties. Some storms are possible across the Niagara
Frontier if clearing occurs this afternoon. A growing cumulus field
has formed east of Lake Ontario and showers and storms are expected
to form along the Lake Ontario lake breeze this afternoon. Effective
shear around 25kts and about 2000 J/kg of SBCAPE will lead to
growing updrafts with the potential for downbursts capable of strong
winds and torrential downpours. Greatest threat area is from the
western Finger Lakes to the Tug Hill region and east this afternoon.
Storms are expected to form along the front across southern Ontario
this afternoon. They will track towards the Niagara Frontier, Lake
Ontario and Saint Lawrence River through early evening. While they
encounter less instability near western NY, greater instability
exists across the Saint Lawrence River.

The front moves into western NY by this evening. It will track east
tonight while the chance for showers and storms continues ahead of
the front. While the loss of daytime heating will limit intense
convection, the wind field increases ahead of an approaching upper
level trough. This increase in shear may allow storms to last into
the overnight hours.

It's interesting that we just started talking about local city populations and now today I see several articles about Rochester's population.  

This was an interesting excerpt.  Looks like we've finally just barely stopped the hemorrhaging of people as we had an infinitesimal gain in the last decade. 

"Data showed that Rochester's population grew to 211,328 people in 2020 from 210,674 in 2010, a gain of 654 residents. The increase, however modest, was the first the city has seen in the decennial census since 1950, when its population stood at 332,488."

Still a sad state of affairs around here, but I love this city anyway.

Right in the middle of proverbial shit sandwich here.  Line over Ontario will probably graze us north… Cells firing along Ohio shoreline will just drag into PA like they always do… Only thing peaking my interest is seeing a few spout reports over the western basin… MAYBE something to watch…

Seeing some decent lightning off in the distance as this cell draws closer...

Looks like some nice convection approaching buffalo.

Lot of lightning building rapidly in Lake Erie cells.  Was not expecting that.  Small gust front pushing on center cell but not much else severe really…

Interesting how the SW that was blowing all day here dropped down to nothing tonight as the cold front got closer. About the same time storms started popping on the lake. Wonder if warmer lake temp (up to 75) actually helped the storms pop over the lake tonight or if it’s simply that the lake breeze shut down after sunset. Storming nicely here now…

Eat it deltat13. At one point between 2010 and 2020 the estimate for city was 206000. So 211000 was a 5000 increase. And monroe county increased 15000. So your data is old.

Even when I post pictures of accurate numbers you still can’t interpret them correctly.  Im not surprised. It stupid to argue over things that are direct facts. 
 

Just like everytime there is a north wind the southern shore is going to get 20 inches of snow!!!!  (Which never happens).

Delta just hope you get a wind storm that blows harder than you do. 

Lolz. Imagine being an “adult” and thinking that’s a “sick burn”. Grow up man.   Plus you’ve used that same line like 3 times. Did you ever even graduate high school?
