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

Canadian high pressure will build southeastward across our area 
today...before slowly drifting to the New England coastline Friday. 
The high will provide us with fair dry weather through Friday...with 
below normal temperatures today and tonight giving way 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 engulfing 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.
