Buffalo, NY – Residents near Buffalo should prepare for a mix of rain and snow showers this weekend, which could impact travel. The National Weather Service (NWS) reports higher elevations could see 1-3 inches of snow, while rain will persist across lower areas, including major roadways like I-90 and I-190.
According to the NWS Buffalo office, precipitation will ease Friday night, but wet snow and rain showers will return Saturday. Highs will reach 47°F on Saturday, while overnight lows will dip to the upper 30s. Gusty winds of up to 35 mph will make driving conditions potentially hazardous, particularly for those traveling for Thanksgiving preparations.
Sunday looks drier, with mostly cloudy skies and highs near 46°F. However, colder temperatures will lead to rain and snow showers returning Monday and Tuesday. Gusty winds and scattered showers could impact holiday traffic early in the week. Thanksgiving Day may also bring mixed precipitation, with highs around 43°F.
Drivers should exercise caution, especially on hilly terrain or highways prone to slippery conditions. Ensure vehicles are winter-ready, and allow extra travel time if heading out during periods of active precipitation.
Stay updated by following local forecasts and monitoring conditions before hitting the road. Snow-covered roads in higher elevations and rain-slicked highways could make for a challenging weekend commute.
