Buffalo, NY – An unseasonably warm week has arrived in New York, with temperatures across Buffalo, Rochester, and Watertown expected to approach record highs on Wednesday. Temperatures in Buffalo are forecasted to reach 77 degrees, just 2 degrees shy of the all-time high set in 2022. The National Weather Service warns that these temperatures are 20 to 25 degrees above normal, a rare anomaly for early November.
According to the National Weather Service, Wednesday will bring mostly sunny skies to the region with high temperatures in the mid-70s. Residents should prepare for continued warmth, as the heat could affect local outdoor Election Day activities and could also impact those vulnerable to sudden weather shifts, including the elderly. Gusty winds are expected, reaching up to 28 mph, adding to the unseasonable feel.
The forecast shows a significant change beginning Wednesday evening, with showers likely to roll through the area, especially around Buffalo and Rochester. Cooler air is expected to follow, with temperatures dropping to the mid-60s by Thursday. The rest of the week shows a cooling trend, with highs on Friday and Saturday only reaching the mid-50s and lows falling into the high 30s to low 40s.
Travelers and residents in Western New York should remain prepared for fluctuating temperatures and possible rain midweek. Those commuting or planning activities should check updated forecasts and take advantage of the mild weather on Tuesday and Wednesday before temperatures fall.
