Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western New York

.DISCUSSION...
High pressure will briefly build across the area today, and will
provide us with a cooler and mainly dry day...with the possible
exception of a few spotty showers east of the lakes. Much more
unsettled weather will then make a quick return tonight and Sunday
as another area of low pressure crosses the area...with mainly rain
south of Lake Ontario and a possible wintry mix across the North
Country eventually giving way to snow Sunday afternoon and night as
much colder air wraps in behind the departing low. The much colder
airmass will also eventually bring a period of accumulating lake
snows southeast and east of the lakes Monday night and Tuesday.
