Buffalo, New York, is set to experience a stretch of unsettled summer weather, starting with rain and thunderstorms on Sunday. As we move into the new week, the forecast calls for more wet conditions, but some sunshine is expected by midweek. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect over the next few days.
Sunday (June 8) and Monday (June 9)
Sunday afternoon will mark the beginning of the stormy weather in Buffalo. Scattered showers will develop after 2 p.m., followed by a chance of thunderstorms after 5 p.m., particularly in Erie County. The chance of rain increases to 60% by Monday afternoon, with thunder and gusty winds possible by Monday night. Commuters driving along I-190 and Route 33 should prepare for slick roads and reduced visibility, especially during the evening.
Temperatures will stay in the mid-70s through Tuesday, so while it won’t be too hot, the rain may disrupt outdoor activities. Monday’s storms could bring up to a quarter inch of rain, and in some areas, stronger thunderstorms may lead to higher rainfall totals. Gusty winds of up to 23 mph are expected on Tuesday, but conditions will start to clear by the end of the day.
Midweek: Sunshine Returns
By Wednesday and Thursday, Buffalo will enjoy a brief break from the rain, with sunny and dry conditions dominating the forecast. Temperatures will remain comfortable, reaching the mid-70s with no rain expected, making it a great time to enjoy outdoor activities. However, don’t get too comfortable, as there’s a possibility of more showers later in the week.
