WESTERN NEW YORK FORECAST SUMMARY Forecast Discussion for BUF NWS Office
SYNOPSIS... High pressure will settle over the New England coast this
evening, supporting mainly dry and warm conditions through late this
afternoon. Meanwhile, a weakening cold front will approach from the west
late this afternoon before stalling out and falling apart over far western
NY. This will bring an uptick in shower and isolated thunderstorm activity
to far western NY very late this afternoon into tonight, with mainly dry
weather continuing from the Finger Lakes east. Shower chances steadily
decrease later tonight into Saturday with just scattered showers and dry
time built in. A slow moving cold front will then pass across the area
Saturday night through Sunday bringing the next round of more widespread
showers and possibly a few rumbles of thunder. High pressure then returns
Monday, allowing for a dry start to the new work week.
