Weather synopsis for September 16, 2009

Currently at 1:00pm it is 63°F in Buffalo, NY under mostly cloudy skies. There is a noticeable chill in the air as yesterday's cold front has introduced a colder airmass to the area. Low temperatures tonight are projected to be in the upper 40's to middle 50's range across western New York State. The weekend is shaping up to be cool but fair as far as the weather is concerned. NCEP forecast models indicate unsettled conditions for next week with several chances for precipitation. Along with a chance for rain next week I am anticipating below average temperatures due to increased cloud coverage as well as cool air intrusions from Canada.
