Buffalo and western New York are in for a picture-perfect stretch of summer weather, with clear skies, rising temperatures, and little to no rain expected through midweek.
From the shores of Lake Erie to local neighborhoods like Elmwood Village and Tonawanda, residents can plan on ideal outdoor conditions well into next week. While the heat will build gradually, the air will remain comfortable, with light winds helping to keep humidity low.
Classic Summer Weekend Begins
After a clear and cool Friday night with lows near 54°F, Buffalo kicks off the weekend with bright sunshine and mild temperatures. Saturday’s forecast brings a high of 77°F, light southwest winds, and plenty of blue sky.
It’s a great day to be outside—whether you’re mowing the lawn, taking a walk downtown, or heading to the waterfront.
By Sunday, temperatures rise a bit more, reaching up to 82°F in the afternoon. Overnight lows stay mild around 63°F, allowing for pleasant evening strolls or backyard barbecues without a chill in the air. With no rain and dry roads, travel across I-190, Route 5, and other key corridors will be smooth and safe.
Warmest Days Come Early Next Week
The heat peaks Monday and Tuesday, with highs pushing toward the mid to upper 80s. Monday will see a sunny sky and a high around 86°F, followed by Tuesday’s mostly sunny and slightly warmer 87°F.
Even though the sun will be strong, light breezes and manageable humidity levels should keep the heat from feeling too uncomfortable.
Still, it’s important to stay hydrated and use sunscreen, especially during peak afternoon hours. Whether you’re at a local festival, on the lake, or just relaxing at home, take regular shade breaks to avoid overheating.
Midweek Outlook: Warm With a Few Clouds
Wednesday continues the trend of summer warmth, with a partly sunny sky and a high of around 86°F. A few more clouds may appear by midweek, but no rain or storms are expected for now.
The warm, dry weather will likely last through Thursday, offering more chances for outdoor fun, errands, or events without the worry of wet conditions.
If any changes or heat advisories arise, updates will be issued by the National Weather Service. For now, residents can enjoy the sunshine and steady summer vibe across the Buffalo area.
