(WKBW-TV) BUFFALO, NY — Buffalo and all of Western New York just finished it's THIRD sunny day in a row on Saturday. To quote The Carpenters, "we've only just begun"! The sunny stretch is likely to continue until at least early Wednesday. And it's going to get warmer as well. In fact, the trend is upwards to the point where, if some models pan out, that temperatures may start to at least flirt with record high territory.
