Western and central New York are in for a pleasant late-summer day, with warm sunshine and comfortable humidity making outdoor plans easy. After a cool start, afternoon highs will reach the upper 70s to low 80s, giving Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse a quiet and enjoyable Wednesday.
Morning Conditions
Drivers may notice early fog or low clouds, especially in rural valleys, but skies will clear by midday. A few isolated morning showers could pop up near the Finger Lakes and North Country, but most areas will stay dry.
Afternoon Warmth
By the afternoon, temperatures will climb between 76 and 82 degrees. The Southern Tier is expected to peak near 81, while north-central parts of the state will see upper 70s to around 80. Thanks to low humidity, it will feel warm but not sticky. Higher terrain may stay slightly cooler, but valleys and cities will warm quickly.
Comfortable Evening
Skies turn partly clear tonight with lows settling in the 60s, making for a mild evening. It’s an ideal setup for outdoor dining, evening walks, or simply enjoying a late-summer night.
Thursday will bring more sunshine, keeping the pleasant stretch going. However, forecasters note that scattered showers may return later in the week, so residents should keep an eye on updates.
