Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western New York
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
133 AM EDT Fri Jun 21 2024

.DISCUSSION...
While it will still be uncomfortably warm and humid through this
weekend...a frontal boundary oscillating back and forth over our
region will support enough cloud cover and thunderstorm activity to
suppress the dangerously high heat indices. Unfortunately...the
daily thunderstorms will carry the risk of torrential downpours and
even severe weather. Notably cooler and more comfortable conditions
can then be expected next week...especially during the latter half.
