Buffalo, N.Y. – Western New York begins the week on a brighter note as showers clear out Sunday, leaving Buffalo with a stretch of sunshine starting Monday, September 8. The week ahead looks dry and mild, with the potential for below-normal rainfall lasting into mid-September.
According to the National Weather Service, a slight chance of showers lingers through Sunday morning before skies begin to clear. Highs today will reach the mid-60s. By Monday, Buffalo will see sunshine with highs near 66, and the warming trend continues into the mid-70s by Wednesday. The NOAA 6–10 day precipitation outlook highlights New York as trending drier than normal, raising concerns for water levels and soil conditions if this stretch continues.
Drivers along I-90, Route 33, and the Peace Bridge corridor will benefit from dry roads all week, with no major weather delays expected. Farmers and gardeners, however, may face soil stress if rainfall remains scarce into mid-September.
With high pressure building, Western New York will enjoy pleasant afternoons and cool nights, making for near-perfect fall-like conditions. Still, residents should be cautious with outdoor burning and monitor local water use if dryness persists.
The National Weather Service says no significant rainfall is likely until late next weekend, keeping Buffalo under sunny skies through much of the workweek.
