Next week will be hot with highs in 90s
Photo by Tom Rivers: A deer stands in the original loop of the Erie canal in Holley on Wednesday. This is a rare section of the canal remaining from when the original was complete. Most of the original was widened several times. In Holley, the original loop was near the Public Square, but was later straightened out from 1854 to1861 to create a shorter, more navigable waterway. A new section of the canal was built over a very high and long embankment.
The temperature will be much hotter next week, with the forecast showing three days with highs in the 90s.
Today is forecast to reach 75, followed by a high of 78 on Saturday and then 81 on Sunday.
Then it will get hotter with a high of 87 on Monday, 93 on Tuesday, and 91 on both Wednesday and Thursday, according to the National Weather Service in Buffalo.
The high on Friday next week is forecast for 87.
