Weather synopsis for Semptember 29, 2009


At 3:00pm in Buffalo, NY the temperature is 59°F under partly sunny skies. Man what a soaker we had here yesterday. The storm system I've been monitoring for the part week produced a ton of rain in the area, reports came in from Williamsville of 3.78" of rain! Buffalo at the airport reported 3.71" of rain. This was all thanks to a frontal system which barrelled through on Monday. The storm produced heavy rain and thunderstorms along with very windy conditions. Once the storm exited the area the winds behind the storm's associated cold front produced heavy Lake-effect rain with embedded thunderstorms. Winds were sustained at 20-30MPH with gusts as high as 50MPH! We do have lingering Lake-effect rain off lake Erie all thanks to the on going wind and it will hang around through Wednesday so expect at least a chance of rain. Tonight it will be cold, Lows will dip down to the upper 30s and lower 40s. Frost could develop in the valleys where readings reach the 30's. So far this up coming weekend is looking damp with increased chances for rain.
