Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western New York
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
404 PM EDT Tue Oct 7 2025

.DISCUSSION...
A sharp cold front will slowly ease its way south across our area
through this evening...and in the process will generate some
desperately- needed rainfall. In its wake...strong Canadian
high pressure will build across our region Wednesday and
Thursday and provide us with dry weather...along with the
coolest temperatures of the fall so far. Expect highs mainly in
the 50s both Wednesday and Thursday...with Wednesday and
Thursday nights both likely to feature a frost or freeze across
many areas away from the immediate lakeshores. Continued dry
weather and a gradual warming trend will then follow for Friday
and the weekend as the high slides off the New England coast.
