Buffalo, NY – Scattered showers and unseasonably cool air will linger over western New York through Sunday, but residents should brace for a rapid warm-up that could bring midsummer-like heat to the region by midweek.
According to the National Weather Service in Buffalo, a high-pressure system drifting in from the Ohio Valley will end the wet pattern and trigger a steady temperature climb. Highs today will hover in the upper 50s across most areas, dipping into the low 50s in higher terrain.
By Monday, skies will clear and highs will reach the low 70s. Tuesday’s forecast shows temperatures jumping into the upper 70s to mid-80s, and by Wednesday, much of the region—including Buffalo and Rochester—could approach or exceed 90 degrees for the first time this season.
Travelers and outdoor workers should prepare for the sudden temperature shift by staying hydrated and limiting strenuous activity during peak heat hours. No rain is expected once the high settles in, increasing sun exposure risks.
This warming trend marks a dramatic shift from early June norms and could trigger heat advisories if humidity builds. Updates will follow if alerts are issued.
