Weather Summary for Western and North Central New York
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
1040 AM EDT Fri Apr 26 2024

Canadian high pressure over eastern New York and western New England 
will slide east to the New England coastline today, providing us 
with a fine spring day to close out the work week. Temperatures will 
warm into the upper 50s and 60s as a return flow of milder air 
develops around the departing high. The warming trend will continue 
this weekend and into early next week, resulting in late spring to 
summerlike warmth 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.
