Buffalo starts Monday under cloudy skies with temperatures in the mid-40s, a slight chance of early rain showers, and a forecast high near 52 degrees. The bigger story for the morning commute is the wind, with northwest gusts reaching close to 30 mph before easing later in the day.
Showers Fade As Winds Stay Noticeable
The chance of rain is highest before 10 a.m., and most of the Buffalo area should turn dry by midafternoon. The National Weather Service says dry weather will prevail Monday night for most of the area, though some showers are possible in Central New York.
Tuesday brings a warmer, partly sunny day with a high near 58, though gusts could reach 20 to 30 mph across the area and up to 35 mph along the Niagara Frontier. Veterans Day looks calmer and seasonably mild, with partly sunny skies, light west winds, and a high near 56.
Rain Returns Late In The Week
The forecast turns wetter Thursday, when rain is expected to develop under mostly cloudy skies and temperatures top out near 49. The low Thursday night is near freezing. Rain chances remain elevated Friday, with a high around 43.
By Friday night and Saturday, some precipitation could mix with or change to wet snow, especially across higher elevations outside the city. The weather should rebound somewhat Sunday, when Buffalo could see partly sunny skies and a high near 56.
