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

.DISCUSSION...
Canadian high pressure will build southeastward across our area
through Thursday...before slowly drifting to the New England
coastline Friday. The high will guarantee us fair dry weather
through Friday...with below normal temperatures through Thursday
night followed by a return to somewhat above average readings 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 summerlike warmth across 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.
