506 FNUS51 KBUF 032034 FWFBUF Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western New York National Weather Service Buffalo NY 433 PM EDT Fri May 3 2024 .DISCUSSION... High pressure will settle over the New England coast this evening, supporting mainly dry and warm conditions through late this afternoon. Meanwhile, a weakening cold front will approach from the west late this afternoon before stalling out and falling apart over far western NY. This will bring an uptick in shower and isolated thunderstorm activity to far western NY very late this afternoon into tonight, with mainly dry weather continuing from the Finger Lakes east. Shower chances steadily decrease later tonight into Saturday with just scattered showers and dry time built in. A slow moving cold front will then pass across the area Saturday night through Sunday bringing the next round of more widespread showers and possibly a few rumbles of thunder. High pressure then returns Monday, allowing for a dry start to the new work week.
