Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western New York
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
1004 AM EDT Fri Aug 29 2025

.DISCUSSION...
A few widely scattered to scattered showers will linger southeast
and east of Lake Ontario today, while our coolest airmass in a few
months brings well below normal temperatures. High pressure will
then gradually settle across the region through the long holiday
weekend...bringing dry weather and a warming trend that will last
into the middle of next week.
