150 FNUS51 KBUF 250833 FWFBUF Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western New York National Weather Service Buffalo NY 333 AM EST Mon Nov 25 2024 .DISCUSSION... While weak high pressure will promote mainly fair dry weather through at least lunchtime Monday...a relatively weak storm system moving through the Lower Great Lakes will generate increasingly widespread rain showers Monday night. The rain could mix with a bit of wet snow east of Lake Ontario. Colder air in the wake of this system will then promote some lake effect rain and snow east of both lakes for Tuesday and Tuesday night with some accumulation expected east of Lake Ontario. While some nuisance rain or wet snow showers will be possible for the big travel day on Wednesday...there is the chance for unsettled weather on Thanksgiving and then potentially SIGNIFICANT lake snows east of the lakes for Thanksgiving weekend.
