Southeast downslope winds of 25 to 35 mph with gusts up to 55 mph possible. Strongest winds will be found west of the Chautauqua Ridge. The southeast winds will cause crosswinds on the New York State Thruway for high profile vehicles. Secure any loose objects, tree limbs could be blown down which may cause power outages.

Wet and cool start to the Memorial Day weekend. Some showers linger on Sunday, but we will see improving conditions by Monday and turning warmer. As it turns warmer, it may be tempting to jump into the lakes around the area, but the water temperatures are still COLD. Please remember the cold water can be deceiving when the air temperatures are warm.
