Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western New York
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
433 PM EDT Thu Apr 25 2024

.DISCUSSION...
Canadian high pressure will build southeastward across our area this
evening, then drift east over eastern NY and western New England
tonight, before slowly settling to the New England coastline Friday.
The high will provide us with fair dry weather through Friday, with
below normal temperatures through tonight giving way to readings at
or a little above average on Friday as a southeasterly return flow
of milder air overspreads our region. The warming trend will then
continue over the weekend and into early next week, resulting in
summer-like warmth engulfing our region both Sunday and Monday.
While there will also be some showers and thunderstorms around,
particularly during Saturday, a fair amount of dry time can also be
expected.
