Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western New York
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
433 AM EDT Wed Apr 24 2024

.DISCUSSION...
A cold front will push away to our southeast today...but for many
areas...leftover clouds and showers will linger into the early
afternoon. An expansive area of Canadian high pressure will then
assure us of fair dry weather Thursday and Friday. While some
showers will be likely this coming weekend...the majority of the
time will be rainfree. Looking further down the road...we can look
forward to a summer-like warm up Sunday and Monday with the mercury
surging well into the 70s and even a few spots into the 80s.
