National Weather Service Buffalo NY
733 AM EDT Mon Apr 15 2024

.DISCUSSION...
A weak boundary will linger near the Saint Lawrence Valley, possibly
bringing a few showers to the North Country today. Otherwise, high
pressure will build across the region with a return to drier weather
for the start of the new work week that will last through at least
Tuesday. Some unsettled weather will return by midweek as a
weakening area of broad low pressure moves into the Great Lakes.
