Few showers and storms Friday, near-record warmth Saturday!
Tonight features a few isolated showers before midnight with quiet conditions until dawn, when a few scattered showers and a rumble or two of thunder will be around. Our risk for severe weather for the remainder of tonight is still non-zero but is very low, especially in comparison to what we saw on Thursday. It's a warm night on the way – a little muggy even! Low temperatures will dip back to around 60 degrees.
Friday will still be an unsettled day as Thursday's front sags south into our region in the morning, before lifting back up to the north during the afternoon. A series of low pressure systems in the coming days will ride along that front, but thankfully, the front axis will mostly remain to our north, preventing flooding threats that will be far greater to our north and west. Nonetheless, expect a few showers with a few rumbles in the morning with more widely scattered activity expected during the afternoon. A strong storm or two still cannot be ruled out, but our threat will not be nearly as substantial overall as Thursday's threat with our front nudging north. With sunshine peaking through in the afternoon, temperatures will warm into the mid to upper 70s. Though our front will be farther north, a few scattered thunderstorms are still possible. A couple of strong to severe storms are still possible, given the setup – though this threat is once again lower than Thursday's severe weather risk.
Saturday is quiet and VERY warm as our stalled frontal system lifts north into Pennsylvania and northern Ohio. A stout southerly breeze, with wind gusts as high as 25 mph combined with a very warm air mass in place will push high temperatures to near record territory once again, with highs jumping up into the low 80s. A few mid 80s in our western counties is likely! Outside of a brief isolated sprinkle, we should remain dry, however rain chances will increase heading into Sunday morning.
Vegetables to plant in spring
Sunday sees a strong cold front push through the region. Thankfully, our front and subsequent low pressure to our south our speeding up in how quick they will pass through, with our front now looking to cross during the late morning. Though this will present a soggy day on the way for the region, the timing does help significantly mitigate our severe weather risk. Expect plenty of clouds and showers with highs dropping during the afternoon from around 70 to around 60 by dinnertime.
Monday features a morning sprinkle or two with a slow and gradual clearing of clouds. However, with a west to northwest wind, we will be much colder than over the weekend as that colder air rushes in with highs in the low 50s.
Severe Weather Awareness Week 2025: Tornadoes
Tuesday features plenty of sunshine with temperatures even colder, as a strong Canadian high punches even colder air into the region. High temperatures as a result will struggle to climb, with highs only in the mid 40s.
Wednesday will still feature below average temperatures, but we will begin to see an improvement with highs in the mid 50s and plenty of sun. By the late afternoon, clouds will increase as our next system begins to approach.
Thursday will be a wet day at times with a low pressure system scooting into the region. Temperatures will be close to normal for this time of year with highs around 60.
Looking ahead in your extended forecast, we will begin to see our temperatures rebound to around normal as the tug of war between cool and warm air masses continues. Temperatures will climb to around 60 on Thursday despite showers being likely with a front scooting through. More showers will be possible toward the end of the week.

Map Shows 2 States Where Children Warned of Breathing Difficulties
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Air quality alerts continued on Tuesday, with children in two states being warned of "breathing difficulties" if they are exposed to poor air quality. Weather conditions such as light winds and higher temperatures are causing smoke from Canadian wildfires to settle in Ohio, pushing air quality into the unhealthy range, National Weather Service (NWS) observing program leader Brian Mitchell told Newsweek. Why It Matters Smoke from Canadian wildfires prompted widespread air quality alerts across the Upper Midwest, Great Lakes, and Northeast regions over the past few weeks. As of Tuesday, most of the smoke has moved out of the region. However, air quality alerts remain in parts of Ohio and Arizona for fine particulate matter and ozone pollution, respectively. The Air Quality Index (AQI) is expected to be Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups, which includes children and the elderly, in the affected regions. What to Know When inhaled, particles can lodge deep in the lungs and trigger inflammation, while ozone irritates the respiratory system and can exacerbate asthma. Children are particularly vulnerable to the impacts because of their developing respiratory systems and tendency to spend more time outdoors. In Ohio, the air quality alert was issued by the Northeast Ohio Areawide Coordinating Agency and warns of ground-level fine particles affecting the air quality in Ashtabula, Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Lorain, Medina, Portage and Summit Counties. A stock image shows a child coughing while outside. A stock image shows a child coughing while outside. AaronAmat/Getty "Air quality levels will be unhealthy for sensitive groups during this period. If you are in the sensitive groups category of children, the elderly and those with breathing difficulties, please monitor your outdoor activity and check air quality readings at In Arizona, an Ozone High Pollution Advisory was in place for Maricopa County, including more than a million people who live in the Phoenix metropolitan area. Sunlight can contribute to higher ozone levels, making these alerts more common in the summertime. "This means that forecast weather conditions combined with existing ozone levels are expected to result in local maximum 8-hour ozone concentrations that pose a health risk. Adverse health effects increase as air quality deteriorates," the alert said. "Ozone is an air contaminant which can cause breathing difficulties for children, older adults, as well as persons with respiratory problems. A decrease in physical activity is recommended." In both states, people were urged to avoid worsening air quality levels by driving less, not idling in their vehicles, refilling their gas tanks after sunset, and waiting to mow the lawn. An air quality alert also was in place for parts of Michigan, although people in that state were not warned of breathing difficulties. What People Are Saying Air quality alert in Arizona: "You are urged to car pool, telecommute or use mass transit. The use of gasoline-powered equipment should be reduced or done late in the day." Air quality alert for Michigan: "Surface temperatures well into the 80s, ample sunlight, and west-southwest winds will create a conducive environment for Ozone development along the Lake Michigan shoreline. Residual wildfire smoke in the region may also enhance Ozone development over Lake Michigan." What Happens Next Both alerts are in place throughout Tuesday. More air quality alerts could be issued as smoke is expected to return on Wednesday.

‘When our mates need help, Australia is there'; Canada gets help fighting wildfires
As wildfires continue to burn from northwest Ontario to British Columbia, Canada is getting help from near and far, and very far. Southern Highlands - New South Wales Rural Fire Service in Australia says a 96-personnel-strong Australian contingent of firefighters and specialists have deployed to Canada for five weeks. The service says the deployment is in response to a request from the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says in a tweet that, 'When our mates need help, Australia is there.' A post on social media platform X from the official account for the Australian High Commissioner to Canada, Kate Logan, says the crews 'are on their way to support their Canadian colleagues battle wildfires in Alberta.' In Manitoba alone, the number of evacuees from fires has reached 21,000, and crews have come from other provinces and the United States. 'Thank you to our brave Aussie firefighters heading to help battle the Alberta wildfires in Canada. Stay safe and thank you for your service,' Albanese said on the social media platform X on Monday. Australia also sent firefighters to Canada in 2024 to help fight a massive blaze that forced the evacuation of Jasper National Park, as well as other fires earlier that month in British Columbia. The Yukon government, meanwhile, says it is sending 20 sustained-action firefighters to fight wildfires in Alberta and will be there for nearly three weeks. Thousands also remained out of their homes in Saskatchewan and Alberta, including between 10,000 and 15,000 in Saskatchewan alone. In British Columbia, the provincial wildfire service said Monday that crews were preparing for 'extreme fire behaviour' in the province's northeast as a second dry cold front was forecast to move through.

Canadian wildfire smoke impacts Southern Tier air quality
ELMIRA, N.Y. (WETM)— The Southern Tier was under an air quality advisory for 'fine particulate matter' because of the smoke from the wildfires burning in Canada on Saturday, June 7. Doctors are recommending that people stay aware of the effects of unhealthy air conditions in the area. 'Smoke has started to move in because of the Canadian wildfires, and what we have been seeing these days with lots of sunshine and dry conditions, which makes it a lot easier for that smoke to move into our region,' said Alivia Colón, 18 Storm team meteorologist One injured after house fire breaks out in Village of Savona on Sunday There are several ways to determine if air quality is affecting an individual. The impact can occur over time. 'You may hear increased wheezing, moving around becomes a lot more challenging, such as climbing stairs or hills, you may also have other signs of irritation, such as cough, throat irritation, and other allergy-type symptoms,' said Bradley DeWitt, Centralus Health Physician Assistant. Air quality affects everyone, even if it doesn't seem to do so. According to the Department of Ecology, State of Washington, exposure to smoke in the air can make existing heart and lung conditions worse. NYSDEC issues air quality advisory for Southern Tier, Finger Lakes on Saturday & Sunday 'Smoke is smoke, it's not great for anybody's lungs, so I think when the air quality alert is issued, I think in general you should limit your time spent outside,' said Colón. It is especially important for older individuals and people with pre-existing health conditions are more susceptible to stay up to date on air quality.
