Buffalo is waking up to clear skies and temperatures near 36 degrees Thursday, but the city is headed for a much milder afternoon with a high around 62. Light northwest winds and virtually no rain chance should keep the day easy for commutes, errands and outdoor plans.

The National Weather Service forecast calls for mostly sunny skies Thursday, with clouds increasing slightly late in the day. Winds will be light and variable ahead of the front, then northwest to east-northeast at around 5 to 10 knots behind it. Lows around daybreak Friday will be mainly in the upper 20s to upper 30s under partly cloudy skies.

Sunny Weather Builds Through The Weekend

Friday stays mostly sunny but cooler, with a high near 58 and an overnight low around 37. Saturday brings a sunny rebound to about 62, with daybreak lows mainly in the mid-20s to mid-30s.

Sunday daybreak lows are expected to be mainly in the mid-20s to upper 30s. Sunday looks like the warmest day of the stretch, with sunshine and a high near 64. Monday should remain mostly sunny and reach about 64 before clouds increase Monday night.

Dry Forecast With Chilly Mornings

No rain is expected through the weekend, and no watches or warnings are in effect for the area. Some shallow morning fog may develop in Western New York river valleys from Friday through Sunday, but the National Weather Service expects it to remain localized and dissipate after sunrise.

Wednesday looks sunny. The overall pattern stays quiet, with cool mornings and generally comfortable afternoons across the Buffalo region.
