Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western New York
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
433 PM EDT Wed Sep 18 2024

.DISCUSSION...
High pressure will remain in control across much of New York and
northern New England keeping any shower activity associated with a
weak area of low pressure meandering northeast along the Mid
Atlantic and Jersey coastline off to our south and southeast through
the second half of the week. A weak backdoor cold front will then
cross the area from northeast to southwest toward the tail end of
the work week with an even stronger area of high pressure building
southwest across the area from eastern Canada keeping dry and only
slightly cooler conditions intact right through the upcoming weekend.
