New York – Thunderstorms are expected to sweep into the Buffalo area Tuesday night, bringing rain and occasional thunder that may persist into Wednesday morning. Rainfall totals are estimated at up to a tenth of an inch, but isolated areas could experience heavier downpours. The National Weather Service advises that this system may affect visibility on roads, making the Wednesday morning commute more hazardous.
According to the forecast, the storms are expected to begin around 11 p.m. Tuesday, with a 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms lasting into the early hours of Wednesday. Motorists should remain cautious, as wet roads and reduced visibility may increase travel times.
By mid-morning Wednesday, the storm system should taper off, giving way to mostly clear skies by the afternoon. Overnight temperatures will drop to 51°F, and cooler, dry weather is expected to settle in through Thursday, with sunny conditions and highs around 70°F.
Looking ahead, Thursday night will remain partly cloudy, and Friday will bring another chance of evening showers, though with lighter rain. The weekend appears calm, with sunny skies and highs near 65°F on Saturday and clear skies continuing into Sunday, providing ideal fall weather.
