A New Record For the Last Day of May?

Written by: Stacey Pensgen

STEAMY! That's the word for you Friday, and even into the weekend. At noon on Friday we were at 87 degrees, within 4 degrees of the record of 91, which was set back in 2011 and also 1944. There's a good bet we'll reach, if not exceed that number. Much of that heat continues into the first half of the weekend, but more in the way of clouds and some rain/storms will likely keep temperatures from reaching the 90s again. A pretty potent cold front swings through on Sunday, bringing with it some storms, and cooler air by Monday and into much of next week.

Mid-Summer Heat Building just South & West

Written by John DiPasquale:

The rains of today & tonight are associated with a disturbance & warm front due to move through tonight.  In the wake of the warm front it will turn breezy to windy, warmer & muggier during the day Wednesday, & for the rest of the week into the start of the weekend.  There will be a few scattered showers and storms around Wednesday, but it should turn mainly dry for Thursday & Friday, as highs soar into the upper 80s to around 90 to round out the week! 

At this point, it looks like Saturday will feature a pretty good amount of dry time with a few pop-up showers & storms possible Saturday under more clouds, & then more numerous showers & storms will attempt to build in on Sunday with a slow moving cold front.  The air will cool some Sunday & even more so with drier air moving in early to mid next week.  Stay tuned for updates throughout the next several days.

Have a great day WNY!!
