Sunny Days Ahead, Rain Expected This Week

A strong high‑pressure system keeps Central New York warm and dry on Friday, with temperatures in the low 80s and very little humidity. The sunshine sticks around into Saturday, when clouds may appear over Lake Erie but most of the region stays clear. Dew points stay near 60°, so the air feels comfortable.

On Sunday, a cold upper‑level trough arrives and turns the weather pattern. Scattered showers and thunderstorms start in the afternoon, spreading into early next week. The busiest storm activity is forecast for Tuesday when a front moves through, raising the chance of rain and lightning.

Overall temperatures stay near normal or just below, with highs in the 80s until mid‑week. Although storms can happen from Sunday through Tuesday, the conditions are weaker than recent severe weather events in the area. Rainfall will be uneven: some spots may get heavy rain while others stay mostly dry.

The unsettled pattern is expected to continue through the end of next week, keeping showers a possibility but with variable amounts across the region.
