BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Don't expect a sparkling blue hue to the sky anytime soon. Smoke from Canadian wildfires will continue to drift into Western New York's sky through at least Tuesday.
Don't expect a blue hue to any clear sky we have in Western NY anytime soon. HRRR model shows the smoke from the massive wildfires over eastern Canada spilling into our sky through at least Tuesday. Should make for some rather interesting sunrises & sunsets though. #WNY #ROC #FLX pic.twitter.com/LMcnh5ANps

Temperatures will remain close to or just below average for most of this week. Your Monday will feature intervals of hazy sun and clouds. Temperatures will top out in the middle 70s away from Lake Erie. A disturbance dropping in from the north may serve as the catalyst for a widely scattered shower. Likewise, another disturbance may provide an opportunity for an isolated shower on Tuesday. Outside of that, there are no indications whatsoever that this work week will offer up rainfall of any import. It's getting REALLY dry out there. Sunday marked the 15th day without measurable rainfall in Buffalo. We had an 18 day stretch without measurable rainfall back in 2017. That stretch was the 15th longest in Buffalo weather history! That said, manual watering is a must this week for farms, gardens, and lawns.
