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

Canadian high pressure draped across New York State will slide east 
to the New England coastline Friday...while providing us with 
continued tranquil weather. After one last cold night tonight... 
temperatures will rebound into the upper 50s and 60s on Friday 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.
