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

Canadian high pressure centered over eastern New York and western 
New England will slide east to the New England coastline today...and 
will provide us with a fine spring day to close out the work week.
After a chilly start...temperatures will quickly rebound into the 
upper 50s and 60s 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.
