Weather Summary for Western and North Central New York
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
1100 AM EDT Thu Apr 25 2024

Canadian high pressure will build southeastward across our area 
through tonight, 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 summer-like 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.
