Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western New York
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
133 PM EDT Sun Apr 14 2024

.DISCUSSION...
A fast moving low pressure system will cross the region today,
resulting in another round of showers and possibly a few
thunderstorms. In the wake of this system, high pressure will build
in tonight and bring a return to drier weather that will last
through Tuesday. Unsettled weather then returns by midweek as
another broad low pressure system moves into the Great Lakes.
