Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western New York
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
133 AM EDT Fri Apr 26 2024

.DISCUSSION...
Canadian high pressure will build over the eastern Great Lakes
tonight before moving to New England Friday, providing a stretch of
dry weather through Friday. Temperatures will warm nicely Friday
after another cold night tonight. The warming trend will then
continue over the weekend and into early next week, resulting in
late spring-like warmth engulfing our region both Sunday and Monday.
While there will also be a few showers and thunderstorms around,
particularly during Saturday, a fair amount of dry time can also be
expected.
