KBUF Day 4

Cold air dominates the entire area of the NE US. ULTrough axis moves through today bringing a short period of ML zonal flow before a weak shortwave arrives Fri afternoon. FC area ahead of shortwave and below jet max along with southerly winds at the surface most of Friday will bring instability and UL forcing. Precip. should begin mid day and accumulations should be light. Temps will warm in comparison to the last couple days and should top out in the low-mid 30's. Low temp at beginning of period and will most likely mirror the Depoint temp. Wind will strenghten in the early afternoon hours as the SFC pressure gradient strenthens.
