Buffalo, NY – Drivers in western New York may face reduced visibility this morning as dense fog and low clouds linger through the early hours across the Southern Tier and Finger Lakes.
According to the National Weather Service in Buffalo, Wednesday’s weather will remain mostly dry across western and north-central New York, with only a slight chance for showers or thunderstorms developing late this afternoon into tonight. Scattered storm activity is expected to be limited and highly localized.
Morning fog could impact areas like Jamestown, Olean, and Elmira during the commute, while cities such as Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse will see gradually clearing skies and temperatures climbing into the upper 70s to low 80s. Overnight lows will dip into the low to mid-60s, and winds are expected to stay light at under 10 mph.
While widespread rain is not expected, residents in areas like Canandaigua and Watertown should stay alert for isolated evening storms that may bring brief downpours or lightning. Commuters should use headlights in foggy conditions and allow extra travel time.
More unsettled weather may return Thursday. Updates will be issued if stronger storms develop overnight.
