FNUS51 KBUF 261134 FWFBUF Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western New York National Weather Service Buffalo NY 733 AM EDT Fri Apr 26 2024 .DISCUSSION... Canadian high pressure centered over eastern New York and western New England will slide east to the New England coastline today...and will provide us with a fine spring day to close out the work week. After a chilly start...temperatures will quickly rebound into the upper 50s and 60s as a return flow of milder air develops around the departing high. The warming trend will then continue over the weekend and into early next week...resulting in late spring to summerlike warmth engulfing our region both Sunday and Monday. While there will also be a few showers and thunderstorms around, particularly during Saturday, a fair amount of dry time can also be expected. A cold front will then bring our next chance for more widespread showers and a few thunderstorms as it crosses our region Monday night and Tuesday.
