| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Buffalo NY 125pm EDT Fri Oct 3 2025 Synopsis Fair dry weather through the weekend, with day to day warming. Next chance of rain arrives Tuesday. Near Term - Through Saturday Expansive ridge along the southern New England coast will drift southward to the Mid-Atlantic coast through Saturday, maintaining dry weather and above-normal temperatures. Short Term - Saturday Night Through Monday Surface ridge along the Mid-Alantic will ever so slowly drift out to sea but will maintain fair dry weather through Monday. Mild southerly flow will develop on the western peripheral of the ridge which will then push temps well above normal Sunday and again on Monday. Long Term - Monday Night Through Friday A cold front begins to near the region Monday night but dry weather will 'likely' prevail for much the night. Timing of the pre-frontal trough and then subsequent cold front will determine shower and thunderstorm potential, and overall coverage on Tuesday. Given the extremely dry pattern we've been in for the past few months...this rainfall would be much-welcomed...even if it doesn't currently appear to be a true drought-buster. Another strong surface ridge builds quickly in behind the cold front Tuesday night into Wednesday. This will support fair dry weather through atleast Friday. After a brief cool down we will see a gradual warming trend as we head into the weekend. Marine Weak gradient through this weekend will result in winds generally 10 knots or less with diurnal lake breeze circulations. Southwest winds pick up to 10 to 15 knots ahead of a cold front Monday. Winds turn northwesterly behind the frontal passage with possible small craft headlines needed on Lake Ontario Tuesday night and Wednesday.
