Buffalo, N.Y. – Western New York residents can expect a pleasant Father’s Day, with mild temperatures, dry conditions, and pockets of sunshine—especially north of the Thruway. Skies will be cloudier this morning but are expected to brighten through the afternoon, though a stray inland shower could pop up across higher elevations.

Breezes from the northeast may reach up to 15 mph near the Niagara Frontier, keeping conditions comfortable but slightly gusty at times.
