Buffalo, get ready for a weekend of classic upstate weather—snow showers on Saturday, a chilly but calmer Sunday, and then a major warm-up next week. It’s the kind of forecast that has us reaching for both winter coats and sunglasses in the same week!
Here’s what’s coming and how to prepare.
Saturday: Snow Returns! (But Not for Long)
Just when you thought winter might be loosening its grip, Buffalo is in for another round of snow showers on Saturday. It won’t be a full-blown storm, but expect flurries on and off throughout the day.
High: 30°F (-1°C) | Low: 25°F (-4°C)
What to Expect:
- Snow Showers on and off all day – Not a blizzard, but enough to make roads slick.
- Icy Patches Possible – With temperatures hovering around freezing, be careful on sidewalks and roads.
- A Windy Chill – It might not be single-digit cold, but a steady breeze will make it feel even chillier.
Driving? Give yourself a little extra time. The snow might not be heavy, but it could cause some visibility and traction issues, especially in the morning and evening.
Sunday: A Little Warmer, But Still Cloudy
Sunday won’t be as wintry, but don’t expect a dramatic improvement just yet. Clouds will stick around, and temperatures will creep up a few degrees.
High: 36°F (2°C) | Low: 32°F (0°C)
What to Expect:
- A few flurries or drizzle possible – Nothing major, but don’t be surprised if you see a few flakes.
- Less wind, but still chilly – You’ll need a jacket, but at least it won’t feel as brutal as Saturday.
- A Sign of Things to Come – If you pay attention, you’ll start to feel that little hint of spring in the air.
Sunday is a good day to run errands or get outside if you can handle the chill—because next week? Things change big time.
Next Week: Hello, 50s!
Buffalo is about to get a serious taste of spring. By midweek, we’re talking highs in the low-to-mid 50s°F (10-15°C)!
What This Means:
- Say Goodbye to Snow (for now) – With these temperatures, any remaining snow will melt fast.
- Watch for Flooding – The quick warm-up could lead to slushy streets and pooling water in low-lying areas.
- Outdoor Plans? Yes, Please! – If you’ve been itching to go for a walk, get outside, or just feel some sunshine, this is your chance.
A Weekend of Transition
Saturday = Winter’s not done yet. Expect snow showers and cold temps.
Sunday = A bit better, but still cloudy and chilly.
Next Week = A big warm-up, with spring-like temperatures in the 50s!
