Buffalo woke to clear skies and temperatures in the mid-40s Friday, with a warmer afternoon ahead. The city should reach about 65 degrees under sunny skies, though west winds will add a brisk edge and could gust to 25 mph. The bigger weather turn arrives Sunday, when rain showers are expected after 8 a.m.
Friday Brings Sun, Wind And A Cool Night
The National Weather Service in Buffalo forecasts sunny conditions through the afternoon, with west winds between 6 and 14 mph. Skies will stay mostly clear Friday night as temperatures fall to around 44 degrees, so evening plans may call for a jacket rather than an extra coffee.
Saturday Looks Like The Weekend Favorite
Saturday is shaping up to be the warmest and driest day of the weekend. Mostly sunny skies will push temperatures near 72 degrees, with a light southeast wind around 6 mph; Saturday night will be partly cloudy with a low near 56.
Rain Takes Over Sunday
Rain showers are expected to begin after 8 a.m. Sunday, with mostly cloudy skies and a high near 65 degrees. The chance of precipitation is 90%, and rainfall totals could reach between a quarter-inch and a half-inch, making outdoor plans a little more complicated.
Showers may linger into Sunday night before tapering off early Monday. Columbus Day should be mostly cloudy with a high near 68 degrees, while Monday night brings a 40% chance of showers and a low around 57.
A Cooler Pattern Arrives Midweek
Tuesday carries another 40% chance of rain showers with a partly sunny high near 67, followed by a cooler Wednesday near 61 degrees. Thursday should rebound slightly to around 64, though another chance of showers — and possibly thunderstorms Thursday night — is in the extended forecast.
