Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western New York
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
133 PM EDT Fri Apr 19 2024

.DISCUSSION...
A cold front will exit to the east of the area by this evening, with
rain showers ending from west to east. Another trough will pass over
the eastern Great Lakes Saturday with scattered showers. A few of
these showers may produce some small hail or graupel. Dry weather
will return Sunday through much of Tuesday as high pressure builds
east across the Ohio Valley and Mid Atlantic. Cool temperatures and
gusty winds this weekend will give way to a warming trend early next
week.
