Those longing for crisp, fall weather will need to wait a bit longer, forecasters say

Buffalo, N.Y. (WBEN) - High pressure will maintain the warm, tranquil weather pattern across the area through much of Tuesday, National Weather Service forecasters say.

And while there will be a 'blip' in the forecast midweek, the dry weather is expected to return again for next weekend.

"This pattern is expected to continue today, and at least through tomorrow," NWS meteorologist Phil Pandolfo tells WBEN.

Things will begin to change somewhat midweek, Pandolfo says.

Cloud cover will increase during the week, however

will remain on the warmer side for this time of year. "We'll start to see highs less in the 80's and more in the range of 70," Pandolfo notes. A chance of showers will enter the forecast as well as the low pressure system moves through Wednesday and Thursday.

Pandolfo says the Climate Prediction Center long range outlooks continue to forecast above normal temperatures fort he region. "We might be in this unseasonably warm pattern for a while."

For those longing for some crisp, fall weather?

"Don't really see that anywhere in our 7 day forecast."
