As low pressure pulls away from the area on Friday, only stay flurries will be left behind for Friday and the first part of Saturday. Then, a weather disturbance will pass through, teaming up with Lake Ontario to produce widespread rain and snow showers late Saturday afternoon and Saturday evening. A few showers and flurries will linger into Sunday morning, but dry weather will then take over. Sunshine and temperatures in the 50s will return by Tuesday and remain for most of the rest of next week.

Friday
What: Rain and snow showers
Friday morning is starting with some lingering areas of light snow, especially in Cortland County and portions of the Southern Tier. This will continue to decrease through the morning. A few stray snow showers will be possible throughout the region this morning and this afternoon, but most of the time, conditions will be quiet. Winds will be from the north, turning to the northwest late, with speeds of 10-15 mph. Afternoon highs will mainly be in the upper 30s and low 40s, but some of the highest elevations may be cooler, particularly if there are a few inches of snow on the ground. Tonight, stray flurries will continue with little to no impact. Overnight lows will be variable, with mid 20s in pockets with snow cover ranging to mid 30s along the lakes.
Saturday
What: Rain and snow showers, especially late
Stray flurries will also be possible Saturday morning. A few rain showers may mix in by midday as temperatures push to near or slightly above 40 in many areas. A disturbance will move south into the area later in the afternoon and during the evening, combining with support from Lake Ontario to produce widespread rain and snow showers. This will play out in a similar manner to Thursday night, with most areas seeing little to no accumulation, but some of the highest elevations possibly seeing a few inches. The rain and snow will taper to showers and flurries during the overnight period. Winds Saturday will be from the northwest at 10-15 mph. Overnight lows will mainly be in the mid 30s.

Sunday night will be cloudy with lows in the low and mid 30s.
