National Weather Service Buffalo NY
1033 PM EDT Thu May 9 2024

.DISCUSSION...
A wavy, and nearly stationary frontal boundary to our south will
lead to thickening clouds over our region with some rain tonight
into Friday night. The most persistent chances for wet weather will
be across the Southern Tier and Finger Lakes region, where a half to
one inch of rain could fall through the end of the work week. Cool
and unsettled weather will generally remain in place for much of the
upcoming weekend.
