256 AM EDT Wed Jul 15 2026 SYNOPSIS... It will be another warm day today, with temperatures trending lower into the weekend. An upper level trough over eastern Canada will move south today, displacing a strong ridge over the eastern Great Lakes region. A cold front will move across the forecast area this morning, with cooler air filtering in from north to south. This afternoon, 850mb temperatures will fall into the mid teens across the eastern Lake Ontario region and the upper teens across western NY. Dewpoints will also be much lower during peak heating, resulting in more comfortable weather today. Another factor to the temperature forecast today is a west-northwest flow will allow smoke from Canadian wildfires to move into the eastern Great Lakes today. Lowered maximum temperatures from NBM guidance today. A few showers are possible (~10%) across western NY this afternoon, though most areas will remain dry. Smoke is expected to linger across the area through at least Thursday. Area Forecast Discussion
