Most of the weather over the next few days will be driven by small disturbances in the atmosphere associated with thunderstorm complexes, which leads to lower than average forecast confidence. That being said, most areas look dry today at least. It will remain mild and a bit muggy until some cooler, dry air builds in on Friday and Saturday. The weekend may be capped off with some late showers and storms on Sunday.… Read More

Our area will again be near the very edge of an active belt of rain and thunderstorms tracking through the Upper Great Lakes into the Mid-Atlantic region. Therefore, a stray shower or storm cannot be ruled out, especially across the Southern Tier. A thunderstorm complex passing to the south during the evening could spread some light rain into the southern half of the region as well, but this remains quite uncertain. Overall, most areas will be dry throughout the day and probably the night, too. Winds will be light from the northwest, reducing dewpoints slightly to the mid and low 60s. Afternoon highs will be in the upper 70s to around 80 degrees.… Read More

A belt of active weather will serve as a pathway for multiple thunderstorm complexes over the coming days, pusher further south and further away from the Finger Lakes with each passing storm complex. This pattern will allow cooler air to seep into the region as rain chances decrease, though no day this week is totally guaranteed to be 100-percent shower free.… Read More

Monday’s weather is a bit uncertain in how it will unfold, particularly in the later afternoon hours. At least a few scattered showers will pass through during the morning. Depending on how the atmosphere recovers, and what sort of subtle triggering mechanisms are present, additional showers and storms may pop up during the later afternoon hours. The area with the best parameters for storm development will likely be over the southeastern Finger Lakes. Heavy rain and perhaps some gusty winds could accompany any storms that manage to pop up, but many areas may end up dry through the afternoon. Highs will reach the upper 70s with high humidity with dewpoints around 70. Monday evening may also have some scattered showers or storms early on before activity wanes during the overnight.… Read More
