Buffalo, NY – Residents in Buffalo can expect an unusual stretch of near-record warmth through Thursday, with highs reaching between 73°F and 80°F. However, rain could disrupt Halloween plans as showers are forecasted for Thursday evening, which may affect trick-or-treat activities across the city.

According to the National Weather Service (NWS) Buffalo, today’s weather will be mostly sunny and breezy, with a high near 72°F. A southwest wind will add to the warmth, gusting up to 40 mph by late morning. This warm spell will continue into Thursday, but clouds will increase, with rain likely after 5 p.m. and a storm chance of 80%. Wind gusts could reach 33 mph, potentially impacting visibility and making travel on major roadways like I-190 and Route 5 more challenging as the evening progresses.

Tonight, temperatures will drop to around 63°F, remaining mostly cloudy, while Thursday night brings cooler temperatures with a low around 48°F. Rain showers are expected to linger, so drivers should exercise caution, especially during post-work hours when roads could be slick.

The weekend looks to be more seasonal, with highs in the low 50s and mostly sunny skies by Saturday. Lows will hover around 35°F to 37°F, offering clearer conditions for any weekend events. Early next week, temperatures cool further, with another round of showers anticipated by Monday, which could bring moderate rainfall.
