Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western New York
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
204 PM EDT Sun Oct 5 2025

.DISCUSSION...
High pressure draped along the eastern seaboard will only slowly
drift offshore through Monday. This will maintain fair dry and
unseasonably warm weather through the start of the new work
week...before a cold front brings some beneficial rainfall as it
crosses the region between Tuesday amd Tuesday night. Following the
frontal passage...Canadian high pressure will then build across the
Great Lakes and New England through the rest of the week. This will
usher in a return to fair dry weather along with a short period of
much cooler temperatures Wednesday and Thursday...before readings
climb back to a little above average for the end of the week and
start of next weekend.
