Look at the difference between the GFS and euro lol Thursday afternoon..

As NWS alluded to, GFS is quicker with the closed low/front..

Can this be attributed to a difference with the timing of the cold front?  Euro does show colder temperatures just off to the west. What does hour 132 show?

Only two other Atlantic hurricane seasons have had 16 named storms by Sept. 19 since the satellite era began in 1966. Those were the 2005 and 2020 seasons, according to Colorado State University hurricane researcher Phil Klotzbach.

 

Meanwhile, tropical depression Seventeen formed Sunday. Forecasters said it was over the far eastern tropical Atlantic Ocean, about 330 miles southwest of the southernmost Cabo Verde Islands.

The tropical depression had maximum sustained winds around 35 mph. The system was expected to become a tropical storm later Sunday or on Monday, however there were no immediate threats to land, forecasters said.

Overall, guidance continues the slower trend with respect to the
eastward progression of large storm system that will impact our
region during the second half of this week. GFS remains the fastest,
while the still preferred solution advertised by the Canadian
NH/ECMWF remains on the slower side of the envelope. Large upper low
will lumber northward from the Ohio Valley to the Central Lakes
Thursday into Thursday night, before getting `kicked` well north
toward James Bay on Friday owed to the next strong trough digging
toward the upper Great Lakes. At the surface a strong cold front
will approach then occlude as it slowly crosses the lower Great
Lakes sometime later Thursday into Friday, while its` associated
surface low mirrors the track of its` parent upper low. Strong LL
jet, favorable UL jet placement and strong vorticity advection will
provide ample forcing...and when combined anomalous deep moisture
advection, will likely produce a period of moderate to heavy rain
along and ahead of the boundary as it crosses the region during this
timeframe.

Cold front should finally get shoved completely east of our area by
Friday night as the next powerful shortwave digs southeast across
the upper Great Lakes, also accompanied by a strong surface cold
front. Drier and cooler air will settle in toward the end of the
work week in the wake of the first boundary, so depending on the
exact timing, there will likely be a relatively short window of dry
weather between the two systems from sometime Friday into the first
part of the weekend. This will only be followed up by the next
powerful system (mentioned above) to impact our region next weekend
as well. There will again be plenty of forcing in play, however much
less in the way of available moisture will really cut down on
rainfall amounts and coverage. A reinforcing shot of cooler more
seasonable air will also filter across the lower Great Lakes in the
wake of this system.

So the temperature disparity it’s really noticeable this am…KBUF 58, Williamsville 60, Lancaster 49, Tonawanda 49 uIB north 50…you get the point….as an official reporting station that has a great influence on the temperature increase/decrease and averages based on the warming earth this is highly misleading data. This is not the first time in the last year we’ve spotted this disparity.

My theory has been that heat islands play a much larger role in the data acquisition and/or warming than is being credited. The problem is that no one will buy an anti urban sprawl campaign when the constituents largely live in urban areas.

I messaged Kbuf and they said nothing is wrong with thermometer. It’s 59 at Kbuf right now and 61 in Hamburg.

KBUF is 63 at the 9am update.  Looks pretty much in line to me…8869FAAF-B2EC-4A18-AA55-EF5FD3B2AE5E.jpeg.c170b3d67f32a35267b53f86cef3a454.jpeg

HWO

A complex storm system will develop over the Upper Ohio valley and
mid western states on Tuesday. This slow moving system will cross our
region Wednesday into Thursday. At the least, we can expect a soaking
rainfall of an inch or more. There will be an elevated risk for
rainfall that could exceed two inches.

..A Soaking Rain on the Far Horizon...

The various deterministic guidance packages continue to struggle
with the timing of a complex storm evolution that will take place
over the Upper Ohio Valley/Mid western states during this period.
The GFS has been...and continues to be...the most aggressive and is
likely much too fast with the resulting significant weather for our
forecast area. As mentioned in previous discussions...will discount
this solution in favor of a blend of the ECMWF and NHCan. These
models have a more climatologically consistent `view` of how the
overall system will play out. Sharp troughs that lead to vertically
stacked systems with tight west to east hgt gradients typically
exhibit a slow eastward progression with a rather sharp edge to the
main swath of rain. This should be no different. Will thus skew
ensemble solutions towards the mean of the ECMWF and NHCan
deterministic packages.

The last of several strong H5 impulses will dig into a sharp
longwave trough over the Mississippi valley Tuesday night. This will
begin the process of forming a closed off low that will plague our
region through the mid week period. Meanwhile...an inverted trough
will extend northwards across Lake Erie. Much of Tuesday night
should be rainfree...but there will be some showers around...mainly
west of the Finger Lakes. Temps bumped up a bit to account for deep
southerly flow and slower progression of upstream system.

The closed low will significantly deepen over the Upper Ohio Valley/
Mid Western states Wednesday and Wednesday night...while a strong
ridge will remain anchored some 500 miles east of Long Island. This
will establish a strong southerly flow that will inhibit an eastward
push of rain from the vertically stacked system. Showers will
gradually give way to steadier rain...mainly over the far western
counties where the rain could be moderately heavy at times. Have
raised pops to near 100 for these areas.

A strong sfc occlusion will slowly push to the east across our
forecast area Thursday into Thursday night. A 50-75 mile band of
moderately heavy rain will precede the feature...and this will be
followed by a dry slot that will be followed by a pronounced dry
slot that may be completely shut down the residual showers.

The passage of this slow moving system should generate at LEAST a
soaking rain for our region...and there could be the risk for
problematic rains if the ECMWF/NH Can prove to be in line. Rainfall
amounts from Wednesday through Thursday (when the rain could be
steadiest/heaviest) will very likely exceed an inch and could
eclipse 2 inches

I could go with the heat island theory IF it was snack downtown but it’s on the border of Williamsville off Youngs…I can’t believe the runway would make that much if a difference
