Sooooo…if Syracuse Sizzles what is KBUF known for? It is 51 in Williamsville, 47 in Lancaster and somehow 56 at the airport which is sandwiched between both locations…I’ve heard of the urban heat island effect with all the concrete and steel structures maintaining  heat through the night while suburban and rural areas have more radiational cooling…but this doesn’t fit that bill…the only possibility is the size of the runway which is all concrete and spans a couple miles in 2 directions? If any one can explain this please do because just makes zero sense

Some high end EF3 damage in there, low end Ef4. Those are well built new homes.

 

New homes are garbage in my opinion.  Old lathe and plaster homes with real brick and mortar are way more solid. That said, I don’t think many homes would survive an EF3 wedge regardless of their construction.

It's a really good question where they take the actual temp measurement.  If its actually right on site where the NWS office is, there is an unbelievably giant parking lot that was recently expanded just South of them.  That 100 percent will have an effect on the local micro climate.  Now how do we figure out where the temp sensor is?

Big spread in temps this morning

PICK YOUR TEMP!  At 4:30 am...just a 23º temperature spread across our region to begin this #FridayEve.

I wonder if they are having a calibration issue again like last year.  Current map they stand out as being 5-6 degrees higher than anyone else.  The issue last year stood out not when looking at daytime highs for some reason but the overnight low temps were always above the surrounding stations.  Here is today’s data highs of 71 and 70.3… but look at the lows.  KBUF only went down to 57 while the next closest station dropped to 51.6

That storm mid next week is looking interesting.  Just kind of explodes through the lakes from nothing to sub 990mb in about 24 hours with the help from some strong coupled jets.  Could this be the first wind event of the fall season??..... one can only hope.  The trees will not be ready for this one.

The ridge axis will slide into the Northeast Saturday night which
will allow the next trough to advance eastward toward the region.
Meanwhile, a warm front will advance eastward across the region
which will support a few warm advection showers.

Aforementioned trough will remain overhead of the region Sunday
through Monday. A few shortwave passages will allow for a couple of
fronts to cross the region each day. The first frontal passage
Sunday will increase the likelihood of widespread rain showers, and
depending on the timing of the pre-frontal trough or the front
itself there may be a few rumbles of thunder in the afternoon
Sunday. A secondary front (ahead of the upper level trough axis)
will pass across the region Sunday night into Monday, which will
again support showers and a few thunderstorms.

Behind the secondary front, another burst of cold air (850mb
temperatures dropping to 8C) will push across the region Monday
night. This will support the chances for a few lake enhanced and/or
upslope rain showers east/southeast of Lake Ontario.
Subtle ridging aloft and at the surface will move overhead Tuesday,
though the next warm frontal passage will be advancing northeast
toward the area. Even with the weak capping aloft, there may be
enough low level moisture and forcing to initiate a few showers,
especially with the added boost from diurnal heating.

Meanwhile, further to the west ridging across the Rockies will
expand and intensify, causing the mid-level pattern to amplify. This
will cause the trough downstream over the upper Mid-West to dig
across the Great Lakes and Northeast Wednesday through Thursday. The
trough aloft will support an area of surface low pressure to cross
southern Ontario and Quebec. As the low passes just north of the
region, associated surface frontal features will pass across the
region late Tuesday night through Wednesday. Another shot of cold
air behind the front Wednesday will drop temperatures at 850mb to
+6C to +8C, and support lake enhanced rain showers east of both
lakes.

Otherwise, the warm air advection Tuesday will support highs mainly
in the low to mid 70s across the higher elevations, with mid to
upper 70s across the lake plains. The cooler air behind the front
Wednesday will drop temperatures and support highs in the low 70s
both Wednesday and Thursday.
