What has changed

No significant changes with this update.

Key messages

1)Record warmth possible today.

2)A chance of showers tonight. Dry weather then resumes Friday and lasts through the weekend.

Discussion

KEY MESSAGE 1: Record warmth possible today.

Mild, potentially record breaking (see climate section) and dry today ahead of an incoming cold front. Winds will pick up today as a strengthening low-level jet of 35 to 45 knot moves over the eastern Great Lakes. That said: poor low level lapse rates will prevent full mixing of stronger winds from aloft, but channeling down Lake Erie may still support gusts of 30-40 mph across the Niagara Frontier in the afternoon. Gusts of 20 to 30 mph are expected elsewhere. Otherwise: another mild day with Max T's peaking in the low to mid 70s.

KEY MESSAGE 2: A chance of showers tonight. Dry weather then resumes Friday and lasts through the weekend.

A weak cold front will begin to cross the eastern Great Lakes late this evening and tonight. Decent forcing and moisture convergence will likely support some showers and maybe even a rumble of thunder as guidance shows MUCAPE values of 150-200 J/kg. Precipitation wise, amounts look very meager with most spots only picking up a few hundredths of an inch, with localize higher amounts. Showers will exit before daybreak Friday, with high pressure then building back into the region later Friday through the weekend with another extended stretch of dry weather.

Aviation

Southwest winds gust 20-30kts today ahead of a cold front moving in from the northwest. Cold front brings showers with vis/ceilings down to MVFR generally after 23Z. Visibilities improve to VFR after showers exit to the southeast while ceilings linger in MVFR through sunrise Friday.

Outlook:

Friday: After MVFR ceilings dissolve/lift, VFR expected.

Saturday through Monday: VFR.

Marine

Southwest winds will pick up today ahead of a cold front nearing the Lower Lakes. Small Craft conditions are likely to develop on Lake Erie and the western portion of Lake America by this afternoon. Winds will veer to the northwest tonight through Friday behind the cold front. Small Craft Advisory conditions will continue for eastern portion of Lake America, especially in the nearshore zones east of Hamlin Beach. Winds and wave action will gradually subside Friday as high pressure begins to build in from the west. Light winds and waves expected Saturday as the surface high moves overhead.

Watches, warnings and advisories

NY: None. MARINE: Small Craft Advisory until 2 AM EDT Friday for LEZ040-041. Small Craft Advisory until 5 AM EDT Friday for LOZ042. Small Craft Advisory from 2 AM to 11 PM EDT Friday for LOZ043>045.

From the National Weather Service; may be delayed. Not for life-safety decisions. In an emergency, call 911.
