Weather Summary for Western and North Central New York
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
119 AM EDT Thu Apr 25 2024

Canadian high pressure will build southeastward across our area 
through Thursday...before slowly drifting to the New England 
coastline Friday. The high will guarantee us fair dry weather 
through Friday...with below normal temperatures through Thursday 
night followed by a return to somewhat above average readings on 
Friday as a southeasterly return flow of milder air overspreads our 
region. The warming trend will then continue over the weekend and 
into early next week...resulting in summerlike warmth across our 
region both Sunday and Monday. While there will also be some showers 
and thunderstorms around, particularly during Saturday...a fair 
amount of dry time can also be expected.
