Buffalo is starting Saturday under clear skies, with morning lows mainly in the mid-20s to mid-30s, but a sunny afternoon near 62 is on deck. Light winds and no rain should make for an easy day for errands, leaf-peeping or one last outdoor coffee before fall remembers what month it is.

Sunny Weekend, Chilly Mornings

Saturday stays sunny with a high near 62 and lows mainly in the mid-20s to upper-30s Saturday night. Sunday looks just as friendly, reaching about 64 under sunny skies, with Sunday night turning partly cloudy and lows mainly in the mid-30s to upper-40s. The National Weather Service Buffalo forecast puts rain chances at zero through the weekend.

Monday remains mostly sunny near 63, with a weak cold front passing through the region. A few light showers could develop in far-northern portions of North-Central New York, but Buffalo is expected to stay dry; no watches, warnings or advisories are posted.

Midweek Brings The Jacket Weather

Behind the front, Tuesday turns cooler with a mostly sunny high near 53 and a low around 35 Tuesday night. Wednesday reaches about 61, Thursday about 62, and Friday about 59.

Localized steam fog may form around some river valleys and inland lake valleys during the predawn and morning hours through Tuesday, especially where winds stay light. That fog should be patchy rather than a broad Buffalo-area problem, but early commuters outside the city may want a few extra minutes.

A Forecast Update For Buffalo

This latest outlook is a meaningful turn from the earlier Buffalo forecast, which had highlighted a better chance of showers on Tuesday. The new pattern keeps most of the next several days dry, with the main tradeoff being crisp mornings that make a jacket more useful than the calendar might suggest.
