National Weather Service Buffalo NY
133 PM EDT Sat Apr 13 2024

.DISCUSSION...
Deep low pressure will continue withdrawing northward across Quebec
this afternoon...with rain and higher elevation wet snow tapering
off and winds slowly diminishing from from west to east. High
pressure will then cross the area tonight bringing a brief period of
dry weather and lighter winds. Warmer temperatures will return ahead
of a compact Clipper system that crosses the area on Sunday bringing
another round of showers and a few thunderstorms, before high
pressure returns brings a mainly dry start to the new work week.
