Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western New York
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
733 AM EDT Sat Apr 13 2024

.DISCUSSION...
Windy and raw conditions will continue today as deep low
pressure continues to progress northward through Quebec. Rain
and wet snow shower activity will slowly taper off from west to
east through the day, with some additional slushy accumulations
possible across the highest terrain. High pressure crosses the
area tonight bringing a brief period of dry weather and lighter
winds. Warmer temperatures then 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 bringing a mainly dry start to the new work week.
