Steamy night for mid September! .

I think we got one here! Great line to track that gust front is plowing right across the lake and very well defined on radar. Crazy it went from full sun to dark as night in 15 minutes... .

Nice line of storms gonna try and punch the lake shadow... Lets see what happens! lol... Pretty nice gust front just blew out ahead of the line... .

Interesting Read... An official climate review has ruled the Erie Snowfall for 2017-2018 as UNOFFICAL due to an inexperienced observation team and poor measuring practices! https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/monitoring-content/extremes/scec/reports/20180723-Pennsylvania-Snowfall.pdf

Heavy downpours during the dead of the night with no convection.... Yawn... Just getting tired heavy rain and severe storm forcast calls that never pan out for BUF this summer. I honestly don't think we had one real good thunderstorm this year.

Tornado Warning for Allegheny State Park area! Go figure that nice looking line broke apart right before it hit BUF metro... maybe some sloppy seconds later tonight? .

And 24 hours later the model precip output changes look familiar... Yup... VERY FAMILIAR... .

Wind Direction! Not sure which day you are referring to but both Saturday and Sunday had a fairly constant and very unusual NE wind flow which would certainly lower the lake level on our end! .

Finally got something! She's been roaring up the lake with a ton of thunder this morning. Warning up real early with this one. .

I'm telling you it just refuses to rain in the metro this summer. Had some hope on those cells moving north but they fizzled out like everything else has... don't think we've had a single true thunderstorm once so far this summer here. Did catch a nice rainbow though... .

Numerous all time records are possible this upcoming week along with the daily high temperature records... *Warmest Temp Ever 99* 8/27/1948 Could be close on Sunday... * Warmest July Temp Ever 97* 7/6/1988 Possible to be broken Sunday. * Longest streak of consecutive days 90*+ 7 days 7/5-7/10/1988 Current forcast has 7 straight 90*+ days...

Not to mention their "snow board" is located on a small grass island in the middle of a parking lot just feet from pavement and plowing? Large flat top buildings beside it for some additional wind blown drifting... Talk about a contaminated reading.... .

Yeah Montague in Jan 97. Observer reported 77" in 24 hours but he took more than 4 measurements in that period so his numbers were not considered offical.

Well the snow spotters at ERI were just quoted saying they are not measuring snow by the generally accepted guidelines of 4 measurements every 6 hours... measuring in 3 hour intervals during the day when compression is highest then at an 8 hour interval overnight when compression is less. Also they are summing 5 daily measurements instead of the accepted 4. I believe this should make the data unofficial! .
