Weather forecast and radar for Buffalo, New York and WNY

A somewhat unstable trend persists into the weekend and into the weekend as an upper-atmospheric storm parks itself over the Great Lakes. It won’t rain constantly, but there will be multiple opportunities for rain, although it’s expected to become more isolated as Mother’s Day approaches.

Cooler temperatures will be the rule over the next few days before a warming trend next week.
