Weather synopsis: April 3


12:10pm ample sunshine is upon us into the Northeast with summer like heat into the interior. Record braking heat will continue today with high temperatures in the middle to upper 80's and even approaching the 90°F mark in Buffalo and much of western New York State. In most cases this is warmer than we've been all last summer. This record heat in combination with low relative humidity and strong enough winds are creating ripe conditions for wild fires. The National Weather Service has posted Red Flag Warnings for the potential of brush fires for a good portion of western New York State. Cooler conditions however will be felt along the Atlantic shore into New England, New York City and Long Island where highs will be hard pressed to reach 70°F, though it will still be a gorgeous day weather wise. The cooler temperatures near the coast are due to a maritime air mass and a back door cold front that has developed from the cooler temperatures of the Atlantic Ocean. High Pressure system will keep the sunshine going and prevent any precipitation today. The fair weather will continue through next week. Temperatures wont be as warm as they've been across western New York State and should range between 60°F and 70°F next week with the potential for some isolated thunderstorms; then temperatures will return to normal by next weekend. Along the Atlantic we will be warming it up this week in to the middle 70's with fair weather before temperatures return to normal next weekend.
