BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Today did not bring record warmth, but it did come close, missing the record high by just 3 degrees, with a top temp of 83 degrees! Truly, this is some of the finest weather imaginable for this time of year, with low humidity, good visibility, gentle breezes, comfy cool nights, pleasantly warm days, and no shortage of sunshine. We do desperately need some rain though. Buffalo and the Niagara Frontier, including most of the areas close to Lake Ontario, are all officially still in "moderate drought", according to the Palmer Drought Severity Index. A cold front will approach on Thursday, and MAY trigger a brief shower by evening, in time for the Bills game, but we're just talking about maybe a sprinkle. The front will do more to knock the temperature down than trigger a shower with highs into the 60s for Friday! Warmth returns by the end of the weekend.
