BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — "March Madness" doesn't only apply to the world of basketball. In fact, it often applies to the world of weather here in Western New York. This week will give us a taste of that with plenty of variability, and the potential for some volatility, as well.
Monday will be relatively quiet, albeit chilly. Don't be shocked if there are a few flurries early in the day, especially north of Buffalo, and closer to the Lake Ontario shoreline. Those flakes should fade and give way to at least some sunshine. We'll see highs into the mid 30s.
The next system to watch will carve a path to the west of us. In the world of weather, that's an "inside runner" of a storm, which means we're "out of bounds" to see any snow. We will, however see our fair share of rainfall, and some wind as well, along with quite a warm-up! The wet weather arrives later Tuesday night, and lasts into a good chunk of Wednesday. Temperatures will bbe well into the 50s.
The cold front with that system swings through on Thursday with dropping temperatures, and showers that ultimately mix with and change to a bit of snow. We're back to fairly seasonable conditions for the end of the week and into the weekend.
