Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western New York
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
433 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 some 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.
