Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western New York
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
1033 PM EDT Sat Jun 22 2024

.DISCUSSION...
The end is near. That is...the end of the heat wave. While it will
be quite warm and humid through Sunday...a cold front will push
through Sunday afternoon with some fairly widespread showers and
drenching thunderstorms. Cooler and less humid air will follow to
start the new work week...but the relief will be relatively brief as
very warm weather can be expected Tuesday and Wednesday. The
temperature roller coaster ride this coming week will then head back
downhill to end the week with highs mainly in the 70s Thursday and
Friday.
