Buffalo, NY – As warm, sunny skies mark the start of the weekend, residents in Buffalo should prepare for a shift in weather Sunday. A slow-moving storm system is expected to bring heavy showers and cool temperatures across the region, impacting travel and outdoor activities. Rainfall amounts could exceed an inch in some areas, with conditions expected to worsen throughout the day.
According to the National Weather Service, the storm will move in late Saturday night, with rain continuing into Sunday. Showers will hit the region by mid-morning, causing potential slick road conditions, especially along major highways such as I-90 and I-190. Northeast winds could also bring gusts of up to 21 mph, adding to the challenging driving conditions.
Residents are advised to avoid unnecessary travel and to be cautious on the roads. Rainfall is expected to range from a quarter inch near the Thousand Islands to over an inch in Buffalo’s western Southern Tier. Sunday’s rain will give way to a stretch of cool, showery weather through mid-week, with highs barely reaching the 50s by Wednesday.
Showers are also likely on Monday and Tuesday, with gusty winds expected. As the storm lingers, those planning outdoor activities should consider moving them indoors or postponing until later in the week.
