Weather Summary for Western and North Central New York
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
351 PM EDT Tue Apr 23 2024

High pressure that provided dry weather on Monday will drift off the 
East Coast through this evening. A strengthening southerly flow in 
its wake has helped boost temperatures back above average, but has 
also brought increased moisture into our region. Clouds will 
continue to thicken and lower from west to east through the 
afternoon ahead of a slow moving frontal system approaching from the 
upper Great Lakes. This system will generate a quarter to a half 
inch of rain for us tonight into Wednesday morning with chilly 
temperatures on Wednesday. An expansive area of Canadian high 
pressure will then assure us of fair dry weather Thursday and 
Friday, before chances for some showers return this weekend. 
Temperatures remain chilly on Thursday, followed by day-to-day 
warming with readings soaring to well above normal levels by the 
second half of the weekend.
