Buffalo's Saturday forecast includes light rain, with showers expected to come and go through the day. The city should top out near 53, but the weekend's bigger weather story arrives Sunday: a burst of sunshine paired with gusts that could reach 44 mph. Another round of showers is likely Sunday night.
Saturday is expected to bring showers, with mostly cloudy skies and west winds of 3 to 10 mph, according to the National Weather Service. Showers may ease late Saturday morning before becoming more likely again during the afternoon and evening. Saturday night stays unsettled, with showers continuing before 1 a.m. and temperatures dropping to around 40.
Sunday Turns Brighter And Much Windier
Sunday starts mostly sunny and reaches about 56 degrees, with strong west winds. Gusts could hit 44 mph, with the strongest winds expected across the Niagara Frontier and a chance that a few gusts briefly approach 50 mph. Another round of showers is expected to develop Sunday evening.
Sunday night brings a 60% chance of rain showers, a low near 42 and continued gusty winds. The updated outlook is a sharper turn from Hoodline's Friday forecast, with Sunday wind now emerging as the main outdoor-planning concern.
Milder Tuesday Before A Colder Finish
Monday remains partly sunny after a chance of morning showers, with a high near 54. Tuesday offers the week's brief warmup, reaching about 59 under mostly sunny skies, though southwest gusts may approach 29 mph.
The pattern turns colder late in the week, with increasing chances of rain and wet snow.
No Land Alerts, But Boaters Should Watch Conditions
No land-based watches, warnings or advisories are posted for Buffalo. Boaters on part of Lake Erie remain under a Small Craft Advisory through Monday afternoon, and lake-effect clouds and showers could produce waterspouts today through Sunday morning.
