If you’ve noticed that this summer hasn’t stacked up to many others in recent years…you’re right.  The Buffalo National Weather Service recently came out with the average July temperatures…which were some of the coolest since Buffalo began taking records.  July 2009 was the 6th coolest July since 1871 and the 2nd coolest since the records began at the airport in 1943.  Typically, Buffalo sees eighteen 80 degree days during the month and this July we only saw 2!  We are now in the first week in August and saw two 80+ degree days already in Buffalo.  A cold front that will cross the region tonight will bring our temperatures back to the L-M 70s for Wed-Thurs…then things will really warm up in time for the weekend as a warm front lifts north of the area.  Although there will be the chance of a few showers or T-storms on both Saturday and Sunday this weekend…on Sat we’ll get to the L80s while Sunday will easily get into the U80s with areas inland getting possibly into the L90s.  Sunday could easily be the warmest day we’ve seen all summer.  The old record to beat this Sunday in Buffalo is 95…so we won’t reach that since there will be a brisk SW wind off the lake…however it will be HOT nonetheless.  Interestingly in the first few days of August alone we beat the number of 80 degree days we had in the entire month of July!
