Buffalo, New York – Highs in Buffalo will soar to 85°F on Wednesday, July 30th, but don’t let the sun fool you — showers could disrupt afternoon travel and outdoor plans, especially along I-190 and major city routes. Commuters and residents should stay alert for changing road conditions after lunch as storms sweep through Erie County.
According to the National Weather Service, mostly sunny skies will dominate Wednesday morning before clouds build. Isolated showers could hit Buffalo and surrounding areas after 2 p.m., with the greatest risk for wet roads in North Buffalo, Cheektowaga, and neighborhoods near NY Route 33. While rainfall amounts should stay light, the timing may coincide with peak afternoon traffic, so drivers are urged to slow down and watch for slick spots. Winds will shift northwest at 5 to 7 mph, offering little relief from humidity.
Thursday brings a 40% chance of additional showers, mainly before 2 p.m., followed by a refreshing drop to 74°F and breezy northeast winds. Friday and Saturday promise sun and seasonable highs in the upper 70s, perfect for weekend events at Canalside or parks across Erie County. Nights will trend cooler, with lows dipping into the upper 50s, so pack an extra layer if heading out late.
Stay tuned for further updates, as more advisories could be issued if storms intensify.
Next update expected late Wednesday night.
