Pattern Change Arrives, but not a Smooth Ride
July 20th, 2009 at 11:50 am by Don Paul under Weather Watch 4
As milder conditions return for this week, along with gradually increasing humidity from Tue into the wknd, conditions will be unsettled at times. The axis of a mid level trough and the positioning of a ridge to our east will feed a generally southerly flow into our region, with some occasional convection developing from higher amounts of precipitable water from the SE Atlantic seaboard. This type of pattern favors heavier cells over the higher terrain of PA and the srn tier, with a little less left for the Niag Frontier. Still, there will be considerable rainfree time. The actual temperatures will be slow to nose up, but with the higher dewpoints it will definitely feel more summerlike.
Thanks very much to z for volunteering to offer some great input during my time off!
I’ll have a new thread up in a couple of hours, after I do some actual meteorology.
Here is a nice article in today’s Buffalo News about our burgeoning International Weather Experience Center:

I saw that article this morning – nice update on where things are right now!
No internet access over the weekend, but WOW! They had to clear out the OLBS Lawn Fete Saturday afternoon due to the tornado watch, and let everyone into the school. I live not too far from there, and didn’t know about the watch/warning until after the fact. I’m thinking more and more about getting one of those weather radios…
Doesn’t the photo on the home page of WIVB LOOK to the naked eye pretty darn well incriminating? The only thing I can’t judge is if that is over the water making it a waterspout vs a tornado, but it sure looks the part!
radar still stuck on Saturadays loop!
Oh well, you can always check out an up to date radar:)
