Buffalo wakes to clear skies Monday, with temperatures around 45 degrees early and a sunny afternoon expected to reach 63. The week ahead keeps the same mostly dry pattern, with clear skies, light winds and no meaningful rain in the forecast through Saturday.
Sunny Monday, Chilly Night
Monday will stay sunny, with a southwest wind around 7 mph and a high near 63. Temperatures will drop to about 44 Monday night under mostly clear skies, so evening plans will call for a jacket.
Cooler Nights Through Friday
Tuesday brings another sunny day with a high near 62, but the overnight low will fall to 38. Wednesday and Thursday should remain sunny with highs near 61 and 62, while Friday will be slightly cooler at 59 with another crisp low around 38.
Mild Weekend Weather Holds
Saturday is forecast to be sunny with a high near 62 and a low around 43. Sunday looks mostly sunny and a little warmer, reaching 64, with partly cloudy skies Sunday night and only a slight chance of precipitation.
The National Weather Service Buffalo forecast discussion attributes the stretch of fair conditions to high pressure and says afternoon temperatures should be near or above normal across the region.
How this week compares with seasonal norms
The National Weather Service Buffalo climate narrative says first frost typically arrives in mid October in the Buffalo metro area, compared with late September in interior sections. First measurable snow usually occurs in mid November, though snow cover is sporadic until mid December.
The climate narrative gives typical timing, but does not specify how much the date of the first measurable snowfall has varied in the official record. These seasonal norms are separate from this week’s forecast.
