Weather Forecast: Hazy skies this weekend, otherwise picture perfect weather ahead
Jul 26, 2024
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — The remainder of our Friday is smooth sailing as we maintain our course of clear skies and comfortable temperatures. We remain clear overnight with lows sliding off into the 50s once again.
Saturday and Sunday follow suit with mostly clear skies and a trend upwards in our temperatures. We start in the low 80s on Friday and by Sunday peak near 90 for much of Western New York. It's going to be a simply gorgeous weekend to get outside, do some yard work, go for a swim, or just check out what's happening around town.
The only real hiccup to this upcoming weekend will be the hazy skies across the region on Saturday and into Sunday. We're not anticipating any impacts to air quality but skies will be noticeably less blue with how this looks to play out. Hazy and smoky skies can also keep us a touch cooler much like normal cloud cover can. We may end up a few degrees cooler than forecast too.
Impacts to air quality are essentially zero this weekend but the skies will have a noticeable tint to them both weekend days and likely even into Monday based on how our weather pattern is unfolding.

Monday we kick off the next work week with the same zeal as the weekend. Highs near or above 90 in some spots and mostly clear skies. Some clouds will build towards the end of the day but we are still expecting for now to remain dry in our forecast.
From Tuesday on into next week much more unsettled weather arrives as moisture pushes up from the Gulf of Mexico. Treating us to not only wetter conditions with scattered storms on the 8-day through Thursday but also much muggier and humid conditions as well most likely. The heat breaks at least after Tuesday with highs the remainder of next week only in the mid-80s versus the low 90s.
