BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Hey there, weather watchers! Got some changes headed our way that you'll want to know about.
Tuesday night into Wednesday morning is when things get interesting. We've got what we meteorologists call a "moisture starved" cold front rolling through - basically, it's a temperature-dropping system that won't have much rain attached to it by the time it gets to WNY.
What to expect: You might catch a few scattered showers as this system passes by, but don't expect anything too exciting. The real story is what comes after.
Wednesday through Friday is when you'll really feel the change. We're talking highs only reaching the 50s - so if you've been enjoying warmer weather, time to dig out those fall layers!
And here's the kicker: morning lows are dropping into the 30s. That means frost is possible through Friday morning. If you've got any tender plants still hanging around, you might want to bring them inside or cover them up.
The good news? Mostly clear skies are in the forecast, so while it'll be cooler, at least it'll be sunny and pleasant during the day.
Looking ahead to the weekend: Things stay pretty dry through most of the week. Your next real chance for rain doesn't show up until Sunday.
Bottom line: Grab a jacket, maybe set out that frost cloth, and enjoy some crisp fall weather. It's that time of year when Mother Nature reminds us that winter's not too far away!
