WNYLakeEffect Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 We had pea-sized hail about an hour ago. Other than that, it's just been rain (0.82" so far) and thunder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSUmetstud Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I'm not sure why but I saw about 3 power flashes last night around 1:30-2:00am when I was leaving Amherst getting on the 290E at Millersport. The winds were pretty strong, but seemingly not strong enough for something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeeffectkid383 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Getting on and off light rain and graupel. Should see some actual flakes tonight with deepening CAA with perhaps a bit of lake effect snow. With the lake being 10C and 850s dropping as low as -7 to -8C it could get interesting. May take a drive tonight to the higher elevations (1600ft plus) near Springville if things play out right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSUmetstud Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 small hail/graupel over in the west side at about 930am. Big limb just fell in the yard 2 houses over in West Seneca. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big limb just fell in the yard 2 houses over in West Seneca. some pretty good stuff popping in Niagara county and over the lake slowly drifting south. Think well see slot of graupel with that. Thinking the higher elevations tonight will see a nice coating on the grass. Pretty crazy for the middle of May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lakeeffectkid383 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Heavy graupel and even all snow on a narrow stretch of the thruway driving back from Amherst to Orchard Park. Came down so hard the thruway got slick and the sides of the road itself was all white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavy_wx Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 Just a few rain showers here. 850 mb temperatures around -3C didn't cool much today with the sun coming out occasionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Was in Toronto for the weekend and got a glimpse of the news there and reported 15-20 cms of snow northwest of the city. Not sure how far northwest however. We had heavy grapel off and on from our trip back with the road being completely covered for a bit there. Also waiting to cross the border there was extremely heavy graupel on the US side of the bridge. Pretty insane weather day for sure! Lots of heavy wind to.

manhattanandcatskills Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Flurries here in northern Catskills! Very light...but what turnaround from cold drizzle this morning to a sunny afternoon. It's 36 IMBY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying MXZ Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Flurries here in northern Catskills! Very light...but what turnaround from cold drizzle this morning to a sunny afternoon. It's 36 IMBY. Missed that last night, but flurries (or graupel - didn't look close) just rolled through at noon. NWS lowered their forcast high for today to 45. Bottomed at 34° last night and didn't see any signs of frost but expect plenty of it tonight. Well, it's definately snow now. Very light flurries, but it is snowing.

manhattanandcatskills Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I came back to City this morning...and saw one lone flake around Liberty on a high part of 17. I figured there would be some today up in DE county, too. This must be the last of it until Oct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSUmetstud Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 A bit of fail for the most part, nice storms over Orleans County, though. I am pretty disappointed in the SREFs. Even though this is an elevated instability situation, moisture below the Elevated Mixed Layer cap was severely overestimated. Last night's SREF's had 3000 MUCAPE over Michigan but in reality, on the mesoanalysis, it was only 500-1000 j/kg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeeffectkid383 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Winds were insane earlier, absolutley ripping. They have since calmed down a bit but the strong winds caused small branches down all over the place in the middle of the roads (OP Road/N Buffalo rd had quite a few and a large tree branch about 20-25 feet long and 4 inches thick in diameter just fell in my apartment complex luckily no one was injured. I measured a gust of 59mph on my lacrosse handheld anemometer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Ya some pretty decent winds earlier. 45-50 mph sustained. Still nice to get a rebound in temperatures finally! =) Winds were insane earlier, absolutley ripping.
