Buffalo, New York – Drivers, power crews, and allergy sufferers in Western New York should brace for a volatile stretch of early June weather. After a warm and sunny Tuesday, June 3rd, conditions will shift rapidly midweek as storms and scattered showers push into the Buffalo area by Wednesday night.
According to the National Weather Service, Buffalo will see mostly sunny skies Tuesday with a high near 77°F and southwest winds around 6 to 8 mph. But by Wednesday night, gusty winds and increasing cloud cover could bring a 50% chance of rain — with a stronger storm threat arriving Thursday evening. Showers and thunderstorms may develop between 8 p.m. and 2 a.m., impacting travel on key roadways like I-90 and NY-33. Commuters should avoid non-essential driving during storm periods and secure outdoor items ahead of high winds.
Smoke from Canadian wildfires could also contribute to hazy skies and reduced air quality across parts of the region through midweek. Those with respiratory conditions should limit outdoor activity as needed.
Buffalo’s brief summer preview will give way to cooler, wetter conditions starting Thursday. Daytime highs drop slightly but remain in the 70s. Weather patterns suggest a return to sunshine by the weekend.
⚠️ Warnings remain in effect through Thursday night. More alerts could follow as storm timing becomes clearer.
