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

.DISCUSSION...
Lingering showers, that may briefly changeover to a few wet flakes
before ending, will taper off from north to south this afternoon
with lagging cloud cover then slowly clearing out from north to
south through the remainder 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.
