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

.DISCUSSION...
An unseasonably cool airmass for the end of August will allow for a
few more scattered showers east of Lake Ontario this afternoon and
southeast of Lake Ontario tonight. 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.
