Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western New York
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
1033 PM EDT Sat May 25 2024

.DISCUSSION...
A few spotty leftover showers will wind down this evening as high
pressure builds into the region. The high will then drift across our
area on Sunday and provide us with a pleasant middle of the long
holiday weekend. A complex storm system tracking across the Upper
Great Lakes will then bring rather unsettled weather into our region
for Memorial Day...when some strong thunderstorms and locally heavy
downpours will be possible.
