3 weeks ago | wkbw.com | Josh Nichols

AIR QUALITY ALERT FOR WESTERN NY 'TIL 11 P.M.A little more warmth, and a bit more humidity is in store for the afternoon and evening. Expect an ample amount of Hazy sunshine with highs in the mid 80s this afternoon, making it the warmest air we have seen in Buffalo since September. A cold front will move through the area on Thursday bringing showers and thundershowers to the region. Some of the thunderstorms on Thursday could be severe especially across the Southern Tier.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — We are not quite out of the "wet woods" just yet, but that being said, the trend is our friend. There is a chance for a few showers and even a thundery downpour in places overnight, but largely, it will just be cloudy and cool with temperatures dropping into the lower 50s. The weekend looks unsettled and cool to start. Expect showers for the early morning Farmer's Markets. It'll dry out into the afternoon Saturday but it will remain very cool with a stubbornly cloudy sky.
Gradual improvements to the unsettled weather await

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — A southwesterly flow of air off of Lake Erie has kept the low clouds in place, especially in downtown Buffalo. The remainder of the afternoon and evening will feature some partial clearing. At least we stay largely rain-free! Friday offers up a considerable amount of dry time, and even a bit of sun, before the next round of showers makes its way into Western New York Friday night. The weekend looks unsettled and cool to start.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Western New York's weather is nothing short of miserable right now, as Low pressure remains slow to go. Expect temperatures to be woefully low on Friday with the thermometer stuck somewhere in upper 40s most of the day. The lingering remnants of this Low pressure area means stubborn clouds and more showers all the way into Saturday. It will, mercifully, dry out by Sunday with sunshine returning in earnest for Memorial Day.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — We had a frosty start this morning in many spots with temperatures down into the mid 30s for lows. At least the sun will be out for a while this afternoon.

TUESDAYMORNING: Mainly clear, mid 30s. AFTERNOON: High clouds, low 60s. WEDNESDAYMORNING: Rain showers, mid 40s. AFTERNOON: Rain showers, upper 50s.
Josh's Forecast: Continued clearing this afternoon and evening, but staying unseasonably cool

1 month ago | wkbw.com | Josh Nichols

Frost Advisory from 2 a.m. through 8 a.m. Tuesday for Erie, Genesee, Wyoming, Chautauqua, Cattaraugus, and Allegany Counties. It took a while, but we finally had a chance to see the sun again this afternoon, as drier air returned to Western New York. The clearing trend will continue, but the cool air will stick around, with highs not out of the 50s. The combination of clear sky, calm air, and some unusually cold air aloft will set the stage for some patchy frost tonight away from the lakes.
Josh's Forecast: Changes for the cooler, and still dodging some drops heading into the weekend
