Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western New York

.DISCUSSION...
While today will NOT be a complete wash out...showers and gusty
thunderstorms will develop during the midday and afternoon in
response to a pair of fronts moving through the area. Weak high
pressure will then allow fair weather to return later tonight
with the finest weather of the weekend slated for Sunday.
Looking at the end of the long Memorial Day weekend...a complex
storm system over the Upper Great Lakes will support very
unsettled weather for Monday...including the potential for
drenching thunderstorms.
