Buffalo, NY – Western New York is starting the week on a mild and dry note, with temperatures climbing into the mid-to-upper 70s today, according to the National Weather Service (NWS) Buffalo. Conditions are expected to remain dry well into next week.
According to the NWS, a brief push of cooler air will move into the region by Wednesday, bringing daytime highs back down before temperatures rebound heading into the weekend. The forecast shows today’s highs ranging from the low 70s near Watertown and Syracuse to around 80 degrees in Jamestown and Wellsville.
Looking ahead, the Climate Prediction Center’s 6-to-10 day outlook (October 3–7) favors above-normal temperatures across much of the eastern United States, including New York. This means that after the brief cooldown, warmer-than-usual conditions are likely to return to the region.
For residents across Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, and surrounding areas, the pattern means a relatively calm stretch of early fall weather with no major storm systems expected in the near term.
Commuters and outdoor planners can expect generally favorable conditions, though the midweek dip in temperatures may serve as a reminder that cooler autumn air is not far off.
