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

Canadian high pressure will build southeastward across our area this 
evening, then drift east over eastern NY and western New England 
tonight, before slowly settling to the New England coastline Friday. 
The high will provide us with fair dry weather through Friday, with 
below normal temperatures through tonight giving way to readings at 
or a little above average 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.
