239 AM EDT Fri Aug 7 2026 SYNOPSIS... Chances of showers and thunderstorms through Saturday. A few thunderstorms may produce locally heavy rain and strong gusty winds. An ill-defined wavy frontal boundary remains stalled just to our west and northwest, with very little movement expected today. The next feature of interest is a convectively augmented shortwave over Indiana-Ohio, which will track northeast towards the region along this boundary this morning. CAMs continue to suggest that with this feature showers and maybe even some embedded thunderstorms will arrive across far western New York between 10Z-13Z. There remains a fair amount of uncertainty surrounding the evolution of this feature as it moves east and northeast across the region this afternoon. There definitely will be plenty of moisture, with PW values found between 1.7" to 1.9" range. Model MLCAPE shows +1200 J/kg inland from the lakes, with much higher values east of the Finger Lakes region. This may be due to potential cloud cover across our CWA which may limit storm development this afternoon and eve. That said...if we do see a fair amount of sunshine we may see additional storms form along lake breeze convergent boundaries. Any of the stronger cells that form will be capable of produce heavy rainfall within this soupy environment and possibly strong gusty winds. Given the environment WPC continues to highlight our region in a marginal risk for excessive rainfall. Area Forecast Discussion
