New York – Low clouds hang over Buffalo this morning, and temperatures sit near 33 degrees with a wind chill around 25. A few flurries drift across parts of Erie County, and southwest winds gust near 21 mph. It feels raw along the Lake Erie shoreline.
Roads are mainly wet, but untreated surfaces could turn slick where light snow briefly sticks. Watch ramps along I-90 and the Skyway, especially in shaded stretches. With temperatures hovering near freezing, this is prime time for patchy icy spots.
Highs struggle into the mid-30s today under mostly cloudy skies. Winds ease slightly by afternoon, but the chill lingers. Tonight drops to around 22 degrees, allowing any leftover moisture to refreeze. That sets the stage for possible black ice early Sunday.
Sunday turns brighter with partial sunshine and a high near 39 degrees. President’s Day stays mostly cloudy with highs around 40. Conditions remain quiet through Monday night, though lows dip into the lower 30s.
Tuesday brings a modest rebound to near 41 degrees with some sunshine. By midweek, rain chances increase Wednesday with highs in the lower 40s. Wednesday night into Thursday could mix rain with snow as colder air brushes Western New York again.
Looking ahead, the broader pattern trends milder across much of the country. Buffalo may also see temperatures edge closer to seasonal or slightly above by late week, hinting at gradual late-February moderation.
