The Great Lakes are all at record levels of warmth currently, most of them by a margin of a full 1F over the next warmest year. Basically no ice cover either.
This above normal streak is about to turn around in about 7-10 days. Supposedly.
...
Eight consecutive and 10 out of 11 days below normal here.
It does look increasingly likely that the non-stop eastern torch will finally extinguish itself but it's not going to be replaced with anything dramatic: normal for Toronto in mid-March is 5/-4°C so just a couple of degrees below normal. And this modest cool down only comes after another tremendous spike of heat and humidity next week with temperatures 10 degrees above normal.
The real question is how long will seasonal temperatures continue until the next eastern torch begins?
"At this point, we do not see any serious late-season cold weather, but it could be chillier across parts of the south-central Plains and Midwest, cooler across the mid-Atlantic and Northeast," Pastelok explained.
The lack of Arctic air will make it more comfortable to spend extended periods outside on April 8, although a coat or sweatshirt may still be needed in the northern regions of the path of totality.

Normal for Buffalo on April 8 would be a high/low of 54/36F, so yeah, I would expect sweat/coat weather. It's not that Buffalo is incapable of experiencing temperatures of 65F+ in early April, but don't count on it.
