Buffalo is starting Wednesday with clear skies and temperatures near 36 degrees, but the chilly opening act will give way to a sunny afternoon near 60. Light winds and no rain should make for easy outdoor plans, provided you dress for the morning instead of the afternoon.

Sunny Days, Cold Starts

Wednesday will stay sunny through sunset, with northeast winds around 3 mph. Wednesday night will be mostly clear with a low near 38, while Thursday brings mostly sunny skies, a high near 60 and northwest winds of up to 7 mph.

Friday looks sunny but cooler, with a high near 57 and an overnight low around 36. The weekend then rebounds, bringing sunny skies and highs near 62 Saturday and 64 Sunday, according to the National Weather Service Buffalo office.

Rain Holds Off Until Tuesday

Monday should remain mostly sunny with a high near 62, but Tuesday introduces the first meaningful wrinkle in the forecast. There is a 25% chance of rain showers after 8 a.m., with partly sunny skies and a cooler high near 55.

That rain chance is the notable addition to the latest outlook, extending the dry stretch covered in Hoodline's earlier Buffalo forecast. For the rest of the week, the recipe is simple: jacket weather early, comfortable afternoons and plenty of autumn sunshine.
