Buffalo, NY – Lake effect rain showers are expected this morning across Buffalo and surrounding areas, with scattered to numerous showers spreading throughout the region this afternoon. According to the National Weather Service in Buffalo, NY, a few thunderstorms may also develop later in the day, adding to the already wet conditions.
The forecast predicts temperatures in the upper 60s to lower 70s, with the highest likelihood of showers occurring during the afternoon hours. The rain is part of a broader weather system affecting much of upstate New York, with lake effect showers moving inland from Lake Erie and Lake Ontario.
These lake effect rain showers are typical for the region, particularly during this time of year when warm lake waters interact with cooler air masses. Residents should prepare for wet roads and reduced visibility, especially during peak commuting hours. The National Weather Service also notes that dry weather is expected to return by Tuesday, bringing a brief respite from the rain. However, additional inland showers are anticipated for Monday before the region sees clearer skies.
