So as not to bury the lead, the chilly and wet pattern has arrived on schedule, but the majority of the worst of it will exit in time for the 3 day weekend. A double-barreled low pressure system came from southwest to both the Great Lakes and middle Atlantic states during Wednesday, bringing periods of rain – the latter meaning it won’t be raining all the time, but often enough to call it a rainy day.

At the start of this past week, we were concerned with the potential for severe storms on Tuesday, which did materialize, and additional showers and thunderstorms for Thursday, with a few leftover showers on Friday. But at that time, there was hope that most of Saturday would be dry, and Sunday would be bright and crisp. “There was hope” is a clue things have changed since Monday, and not for the better. Thursday got May off to a soaking wet start, with heaviest rainfall on the Niagara Frontier.

All things considered, Monday will end up being the nicest day of the week. The upper 60s-low 70s, combined with brilliant sunshine and a light breeze, will not be duplicated for some time to come. Tuesday will start out nice enough, and will bring even warmer temperatures, heading into the upper 70s inland from Lake Erie (upper 60s at the lakeshore), with a partly sunny sky. A south-southwest wind may even send a few interior locations well east of the metro area toward the 80 degree mark.

Monday was the soggiest day we’ve had around here, especially on the Niagara Frontier. Northern Erie and Niagara counties got hit the hardest. To go with flooding in the north were scattered reports of wind damage from severe thunderstorms that crossed parts of the region in several rounds of convective cells. Up to this point, I doubt anyone is thinking about nominating this April for any awards, even with several genuinely nice days sprinkled in.

On Wednesday, there was hardly a sign of a mid-April feel or look to our weather. Not exactly what you would call an April 16 kind of vibe…. pic.twitter.com/kplfUIyGl1— Don Paul (@donpaulbitsosun) April 16, 2025Following high-elevation snow Tuesday night that brought 4.5 inches of accumulation to Springville and 3.7 inches to Warsaw, there were still flakes to be seen Wednesday, accompanied by a gloomy sky (again) and a raw breeze creating a wind chill in the 20s.

Don Paul: WNY in store for pretty nice weekend, more summerlike next week. SATURDAY UPDATE: Showers near the PA line will end; becoming mostly sunny north, breezy & coolish...low 70s, but 60s near Lk Ontario. More clouds linger in the southern tier. Nice, slightly warmer Sunday
Senator Reed is a strong critic of the current administration, to say the least. But he recognizes the actual anniversary of the US Army for what it is, outside of parade controversy. The Democratic senator was a captain in the 82nd Airborne Division.
For 250 years, the U.S. Army has protected our nation’s freedom. Today is about the brave men & women who’ve worn the Army uniform and stood posts for liberty across the globe. Wishing a very happy 250th birthday to the U.S. Army. https://t.co/XWyPRM1ziu
