Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western New York
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
433 PM EDT Wed Apr 24 2024

.DISCUSSION...
Lingering scattered light showers and patchy drizzle will taper
off from north to south this afternoon south of Lake Ontario,
with lagging cloud cover then slowly clearing out from north to
south through the end of the day. An expansive area of Canadian
high pressure will then assure us of fair, dry weather Thursday
and Friday. While some showers will be likely this coming
weekend, especially on Saturday, a good amount of dry time will
be built in. Looking further down the road, we can look forward
to a summer-like warm up Sunday and Monday with the mercury
surging well into the 70s and even a few spots into the 80s.
