Unhealthy air quality is expected today across WNY and into central parts of the state thanks to wildfire smoke coming from Western Ontario and Minnesota. Limit time spent outside, especially as smoke thickens later on in the day. #Buffalo #Rochester #WNY #NYwx #wxonthe1s
Hazy and smoky conditions tomorrow and into Thursday. We will have to see how Friday is looking as we get closer. #Buffalo #WNY #NYwx #wxonthe1s
NEW: An Air Quality Alert is out for tomorrow as we expect smoky conditions to build on Wednesday. Smoke will be moving in from active wildfires in Canada. #Buffalo #Rochester #WNY #NYwx #wxonthe1s
Our modeling shows surface smoke will increase Wednesday into Thursday. This is where air quality issues will likely become a concern for us. Could potentially last into Friday given our pattern. #Buffalo #Rochester #Syracuse #Albany #WNY #CNY #NYwx #wxonthe1s
And yes, you might already notice some haze today. You can clearly see Canadian wildfire smoke over NY today. Could help limit temps too. Air quality would be more of a concern Wed/Thu. #Buffalo #Rochester #WNY #NYwx #wxonthe1s
Hotter the next few days then temperatures go back to normal with some rain. #Buffalo #WNY #NYwx #wxonthe1s
Was doing a live cut-in for Rochester and dropped my weather clicker tonight 🤦♂️🤦♂️
A Heat Advisory is out for tomorrow. 🌡️ Heat index values will approach the low 100s in many spots with highs in the 90s off the Lakes. #Buffalo #Rochester #WNY #NYwx #wxonthe1s
Temps start to climb this week. Won't be as humid as the last time we saw the heat a few weeks ago. #Buffalo #WNY #NYwx #wxonthe1s
After a sunny Sunday, temps start to creep up. Upper 80s here in Buffalo and probably some lower 90s off the lake by Tuesday and Wednesday. #Buffalo #WNY #NYwx #wxonthe1s
Perfect weekend weather in Buffalo! What are you doing this weekend to enjoy the sunshine? Plenty of people downtown for the Taste of Buffalo today! #Buffalo #WNY #NYwx #wxonthe1s
A Severe Thunderstorm Warning is out for Niagara and northern Erie County. Strong winds are likely with this storm as it works southeast. #Buffalo #WNY #NYwx #wxonthe1s
Here come the storms I mentioned this morning. Gusty winds and plenty of lightning as the move in over the next hour or so. #Buffalo #WNY #NYwx #wxonthe1s
Good Morning! Models have focused on storms today around 4-8 PM, moving out of Ontario. We will need to watch for gusty winds and the potential for heavy rain. Not super widespread, but something to watch for! #Buffalo #WNY #NYwx #wxonthe1s
Some isolated storms looking possible in the afternoon and evening Thursday. #Buffalo #WNY #NYwx #wxonthe1s
If you thought this year has been wet, well you are right. Especially here in WNY where spots are over 8" above normal. Different story along the Hudson Valley where things are a bit behind.
A bit warm but looking pretty good on Wednesday. #Buffalo #WNY #NYwx #wxonthe1s
With our recent hotter weather Lake Erie has gotten to 74° near Buffalo. Lake Ontario is sitting in the 60s and 70s. Some mid to upper 60s have been reported near the NY lakeshore. #Buffalo #Rochester #WNY #NYwx #wxonthe1s
VIDEO CREDIT: Carmel Demun Video out of the town of Willing earlier today from our downpours in Allegany county. NWS estimates 2-4"+ fell in these areas leading to flash flood warnings going out. Law enforcement evacuated multiple people today from flood waters. #Buffalo #WNY #NYwx #wxonthe1s
Our Flash Flood Warning has been upgraded in Southeastern Allegany county. 2-4 inches of rain have fallen already. Law enforcement states evacuations occurring near Dutch hill and Schrader roads in Stannards. #Buffalo #WNY #NYwx #wxonthe1s
3:37PM Flash Flood Warning is out in Allegany county. Slow moving downpours could cause flooding in low-lying areas. If you see covered roads, turn around! #Buffalo #WNY #NYwx #wxonthe1s
Some showers out there this afternoon. Should come to an end not long after dinnertime for us. #Buffalo #WNY #NYwx #wxonthe1s
Our average high is 80° this week gets us closer to that. Thankfully no heat. #Buffalo #WNY #NYwx #wxonthe1s
More rain chances tomorrow, best bet will be in the Southern Tier. Good thing is it keep our temps stuck in the 70s! #Buffalo #WNY #NYwx #wxonthe1s
Hope everyone had a great 4th of July! Some isolated shower Sunday BUT look at all those cooler temps!! #Buffalo #WNY #NYwx #wxonthe1s
