Wildfires from Canada were the reason for the red Sun yesterday photographed by many across Western New York. People have also commented on the moon lately having a reddish-orange hue.

Abundant morning sunshine today, will give way to a chance of a shower and thundershower from Buffalo northward during the afternoon.  Most showers and thunderstorms will hold off until the evening.

With area residents still recovering from Saturday rainfall, the prospect of more rain tonight will be troublesome.
