Well, we had a little burst of n
through Western New York today.
It was here and then it was gond
then it made its way further no.
So everybody kind of had a
different slice of weather toda.
It was warmer in the Southern T,
it was cooler in the north towns and up
towards the Niagara and Orleans zone.
It's going to be active as we
get into next week as well,
especially with the chances for rain,
smoke, unfortunately rain showes
accompanied by some thunderstorms too.
And some sun.
I mean there is,
I mean very usable time this
upcoming week too.
I don't want to say it's
a complete write off,
but you'll definitely kind of have to
plan and dodge some raindrops t.
But you know, air quality has bn
relatively good over the past.
Week or so,
the stretch has not been too
smoky across Western New York.
Things really have been kind
of hovering around good.
Some areas across Western New Yk
have gotten close to moderate,
but it hasn't been on the upper
end of this scale.
So it's certainly still managea.
Again, some sensitivities for
those with respiratory conditio,
but as we go into the next couple of days,
I would say that these yellow ad
orange boxes certainly will getn
upgrade and be where the air quality is.
As we get into this next stretc,
so let's take you through future look,
this is for smoke and again,
this is the legend here.
So it's from light to dense
smoke across the region.
We're taking you through
early Sunday morning.
Notice that it's going to work
its way through Southern Ontario
1st and the smoke increases and
it's really this green that we'e
watching to kind of just edge
its way into Western New York.
It will be here by about luncht.
And you'll notice that it's not going
to be as sunny as it has been in
terms of those bright blue conditions.
And once we get into the aftern,
notice that it starts to shift a
little further on the scale towards the
yellow oranges and even those darker oranges.
That's going to make its way in
as we head towards Sunday eveni.
So smoky conditions return.
This is when.
If you're outside for a
prolonged period of time,
you may notice some of the, you know,
like the sensitivities of your s
stinging perhaps a little bit.
But again, we're just watching for that.
And then also we have to kind of consider,
well, since it's so humid out t,
the fog for tonight too,
especially across Western New Yk
because it's so humid out there still,
even tonight at 11:00 o'clock
into the midnight hour,
watch,
look at that just in terms of the visibility,
it's so low.
Across much of the region we're
talking about down to a mile or
two and less in some spots as
we go through the overnight,
it's really going to thicken
up especially and I'd say
for areas like 20 A as you headn
Route 16, Route 60 is always a classic
in terms of very, very dense fo.
The 219 from Ellicottville down
towards Kill Buck and Bradford,
very, very low visibility
especially during the overnight.
So watch out if your travels do
take you out during that time.
But as we head into.
Sunday morning it will start to ease,
but All in all, it's still been
very dry across Western New Yor,
this is the Drought Monitor aga.
Most of the region is still unda
moderate drought, but this weeks
rain definitely will change tha.
I don't know if it will give us
as big of an update as we want.
We kind of want these yellows to kind of
collapse on this tan area that we have here.
So we're just kind of watching
for what's on the way.
As we take it through Sunday ag,
the rain showers move through a.
It will be steady at times
in terms of what to expect.
But you know,
as we head towards Sunday morni,
there could be a few rain showe.
So that's why we're calling for,
you know, showers.
I'd say for really the first half of the day.
Notice that by about lunchtime,,
this is just slightly overstepping the
bound of the second-half of the.
But I'd say most of the rain will start
to clear out by about 2:00 to 3.
O'clock, That's really what
we're expecting at this point.
Then it's clear, as clear as it
can be with that smoke moving i.
So a clear sky for us,
it would be blue skies.
Unfortunately the smoke had other plans,
but we may get clipped with a few showers
right along the Lake Ontario shoreline there,
so we're going to watch
that to see if it develops.
As we head into Monday.
It's still smoky,
it's still hazy.
And we do have a few showers tht
will kind of work their way thr.
It does want to kind of pop in w
scattered rain showers and evene
thunderstorms for Monday late in the evening.
Of course,
we're going to be watching that
closely to see how much pop it s
and how well impactful it will .
But as we take you to well Tuesday, we
could deal with some more rain showers too.
But this is really overdoing it.
I really don't expect Tuesday
to be all that wet.
Now Wednesday,
watch as we do get some
cloud cover headed our way.
Some of that may just have enouh
moisture to kind of graze us.
And the models really right
now are all over the place.
I mean,
one is trying to say that by
Wednesday evening we'll have
some rain in the Southern Tier.
This one says not a chance.
So this is when things are kind
of in conflict with each other
and what we have to do is kind f
sort out all of this mess and kd
of filter through the noise to .
Who do we believe?
Because at this point this is trying to
say that Thursday and Friday will be a
bit more active for Western New York.
I think Friday certainly has
the better chance to be a damp
day across Western New York.
And then as we head towards the weekend,
we could deal with some rain showers,
but it looks like we'll also stt
to clear out and pull away, so.
That's a lot to say.
We just aren't confident yet
because it's really, really tou.
But in the next 48 hours,
I do expect most areas to get
a very healthy shot of rain.
I'd say most areas will get haln
inch to about 3/4 of an inch of rain.
Again, some areas getting just
a tiny bit more.
But I would say generally this s
good news for a lot of lawns bee
a lot of lawns look very crispy.
At this point, in terms of temperatures,
as we take it through Sunday morning,
oh wow,
waking up to this is not a ton
of fun because it's humid too.
That's the thing.
And as we take you through the afternoon,
we'll notice that temperatures l
get close to that 80 degree mar,
especially across the Niagara Frontier.
Watch that as we'll get very close to 80.
There it is for Niagara Falls, Buffalo,
I mean might as well just get t.
I can't like nudge that up manu.
So we got,
we got to just trust that
it's going to get 80 degrees.
It will be a little cooler in te
Southern Tier, I'd say mid 70s,
maybe the upper 70s.
For Wellsville,
Olean and Jamestown as well ands
we take you to Sunday evening that is
going to really feature the muggy conditions.
Once again look at that at 11:0,
o'clock we're still in the low
70s for Buffalo down to Dunkirk,
but as we take you into the overnight,
get a little relief in the Southern Tier,
not much relief for the Buffalo Metro
area and as we take it to Monda,
again still warm but not as hot.
I'd say for the Southern Tier,
again, I'd say you really do stk
in the mid 70s but closer to 80,
possibly into the low eighties .
Not ruling that out as we go
through our Monday,
but All in all it's going to be,
I'd say a seasonal stretch acros
Western New York in terms of wind gusts.
OK, not so bad for Sunday morni,
but watch as these winds shift direction.
This is what's going to push the smoke
into Western New York when gusts get to.
About 20 to 25 miles an hour.
And it's from the West.
It's bringing it into our regio.
So that's what we're keeping track of.
It will be windy,
I would say through the second-f
of our Sunday.
And as we take you to Monday,
not too windy out there,
but especially as we get to the afternoon,
that's when you'll notice some f
those wind gusts getting closero
the 20 to 25 mile per hour rang.
So wow, we got a lot to sort through on
what looks like a relatively calm week.
Of course, that's always the
illusion that we paint and just.
Looks calm, but we got to dive n
and give you all the informatio.
So on Sunday temperatures will
get to about 80 degrees.
We are expecting some morning rain showers.
For Monday it's really in the afternoon.
I would say that's probably the
best chance of when we'll get
that for Tuesday and Wednesday.
I'm going to keep things dry for
there and also for Thursday too.
And then on Friday,
that is our next chance for rai.
So cool down just a little bit and then
for Saturday it looks dry for n.
But All in all,
it is kind of a seasonal stretch
because it's not getting too ho.
We're not talking about big surges of
heat like other parts of the coy
are dealing with, but it's not.
Too cool.
I mean,
maybe the Southern Tier is going
to feel like it's a little cool
with temperatures generally in
the mid to upper 70s.
For the South towns,
you're hovering into the 70s, low 80s,
you're just bobbing around that mark.
But again,
rain for Sunday morning,
rain for Monday afternoon and evening,
and then we could squeeze out se
showers on Wednesday afternoon
just for the Southern Tier right
along the state line.
And then Friday looks like the t
day across Western New York treg
drier as we head towards Saturd.
Thanks for tuning in.
