Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western New York
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
404 PM EDT Wed Oct 8 2025

.DISCUSSION...
Surface high pressure centered over the upper to central Great
Lakes will gradually drop south across New York State and into New
England today through Friday. A cooler air mass in the wake of the
passing front from the day prior will support cooler and more
seasonable temperatures today through Thursday night. As a result,
tonight and Thursday night, expect widespread frost and freeze. As
the high slides off the New England coast Friday and into the
weekend, expect a gradual warming trend.
