Weather is complex, and often, a simple graphic does not tell the whole story.

That is why Finger Lakes Weather meteorologist Drew Montreuil blogs frequently.

From detailed forecast discussions and recapping recent weather events, to looking beyond our region at what the weather is doing elsewhere, to teaching about the weather in an easy to understand format, Finger Lakes Weather offers four different blogs.

Mild and sunny today, but rain and snow is on the way

A warm front will bring some morning clouds but a mild, sunny afternoon today. Clouds increase for Wednesday as low pressure begins to take form to our south. Rain will spread in Wednesday night and continue into Thursday. A strong low pressure will develop along the coast Thursday night, pulling cold air into the region. Lake Ontario will interact with moisture for the low to produce rain and snow showers Thursday night through Saturday morning. Snow accumulations will most likely be limited to minor amounts over higher elevations Thursday night. Cloudy, cool conditions are expected Sunday and Monday with dry weather and recovering temperatures later next week.… Read More

Tuesday will be the mildest day of the week with highs generally 55-60 degrees.

Weekly Weather Forecast: Turning chilly late week with perhaps a few snowflakes

After some showers Monday, temperatures will get a boost back toward 60 degrees on Tuesday with some sun. Late showers will be possible Wednesday, with at least some scattered showers Thursday. A coastal system may impact the area late in the week, but may also mostly miss the area. The snow hype is flying, but in reality, anything more than a light coating mainly over higher elevations will be tough to envision and is unlikely to occur. Still, confidence is low, so I will continue to monitor the situation closely, as I always do.… Read More
