Buffalo drivers could see wet roads and lightning delays on I-90 and I-190 by late Sunday afternoon as storms roll in. Conditions turn unsettled overnight, creating potential hazards for travel, outdoor plans, and power reliability across western New York.
According to the National Weather Service, thunderstorms will likely develop after 2 p.m. Sunday, bringing heavy rain in spots. Showers could linger into Sunday night with gusty southwest winds up to 13 mph. Rainfall amounts should stay under a tenth of an inch, though isolated downpours could exceed that.
Saturday brings partly sunny skies with highs near 79, but the weather shift begins tonight with a 60% chance of showers after midnight. Storms could create reduced visibility and slick pavement for early travelers. Overnight lows dip into the mid-60s, keeping humidity levels high.
Monday continues the unsettled pattern. More showers and a few thunderstorms are possible during the day, with highs near 69 and west winds gusting up to 24 mph. Cooler air arrives by Tuesday, with only a 30% chance of scattered showers. By midweek, sunshine returns, delivering drier and more seasonable conditions.
Travelers are urged to monitor conditions closely, especially along interstates and near low-lying areas prone to flooding. Plan ahead for possible delays, and avoid driving through standing water. Keep devices charged in case of power interruptions.
The active stretch tapers off by Wednesday, offering a clearer break for outdoor events and commutes. More updates may be issued if storm coverage increases Sunday afternoon.
