BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Some truly toasty times to talk about for your day today with temperatures soaring into the upper 70s and lower 80s along the lake.

Later this afternoon, it will cloud up with a few widely scattered showers developing. Most of the showers should hold off until later tonight. An isolated thunderstorm cannot be ruled out either. Unsettled weather remains over Western New York through the weekend with highs in the 70s on Saturday. We'll be in the 60s on Sunday and dodging more drops, especially during the first half of the day.
