Buffalo gets one of those deceptively pleasant November days Tuesday: after a mostly cloudy start around 46 degrees, temperatures climb to 59 while strong west winds make it a good day to secure anything loose outdoors. Gusts could reach 35 mph, with strong winds forecast Tuesday.
Warm, Bright, And Very Windy Tuesday
Skies should turn mostly sunny by late morning and afternoon, with dry conditions expected across Buffalo and the lower elevations. A few showers are more likely across the North Country, while the National Weather Service says west winds will remain strong through the afternoon. Small Craft Advisories are also in effect on parts of Lake Erie through Tuesday evening.
Veterans Day Starts Quietly, Then Turns Wet
Wednesday, November 11, should begin partly sunny with a high near 54 degrees, but a chance of rain showers arrives after 4 p.m. Rain becomes more likely Wednesday night, setting up a wet Thursday with cloudy skies, a high near 48 degrees and a 90% chance of precipitation.
Colder Air Arrives For Friday And Saturday
Friday will feel much more like mid-November, with mostly cloudy skies, a high near 41 degrees and a chance of rain showers. Temperatures dip to around 30 Friday night, when rain could mix with or change to wet snow, especially across higher terrain.
The weather service expects only minor winter-weather impacts, with little or no accumulation in lower-elevation population centers. Saturday brings another chance of rain and snow showers with a high near 43, while the weekend gradually dries out.
Cloudy But Calmer Next Week
Sunday looks partly cloudy with a high near 45 degrees, followed by another mostly cloudy day Monday near 47. Tuesday's mild, windy weather is likely to be the warmest part of the stretch before rain and colder air take over later in the week.
