Threats

The threat continues to look low for today. I’ll keep an eye on it!

The Storm Prediction Center has highlighted our area in the MARGINAL risk for severe storms for today.

Short-Term Radar Forecast

This radar model begins at 8:00 a.m. and ends at 4:00 p.m., moving in one-hour increments. This gives you a good idea of what’s expected today!

Lunchtime Forecast

Forecast Summary

Gusty winds will be with us throughout today, associated with our new storm system. This system will bring a chance for scattered showers and storms. Any storm that can form could be strong to severe this afternoon.

Thursday now looks drier and sunnier, before more showers and storms move in Thursday night. That system will be with us through Friday, bringing widespread showers and thundershowers.

As of now, Saturday looks dry and Sunday only carries a slight chance for a shower, but that weekend forecast depends on how the Friday system moves through the area. Hopefully, it will move on through and give us a nice weekend.

Colder temps filter into the region for the weekend, and we may even see scattered frost Sunday night.

Threat for Severe Storms Wednesday

Best Chance for Rain Coming Friday

Cool Down Coming This Weekend

MM’s 5-Day forecast is brought to you by Clearview Closet & Blind! Visit them at https://www.closetandblind.com/ and see how they can help you with storage, window treatments, and more!

Threats

The threat continues to look low for Wednesday, but I’ll keep a close eye on that! Check back for updates.

The threat for Wednesday is what we call “conditional”. A warm layer in the atmosphere aloft, referred to as a “cap”, may hold strong enough to keep any storms from developing. However, if this cap weakens or breaks, any storm that forms could be strong to severe.

The Storm Prediction Center has highlighted our area in the MARGINAL risk for severe storms for Wednesday.

Lunchtime Forecast

Forecast Summary

Tuesday will be a repeat of Monday, but with more clouds in the sky. We just have a slight chance for a sprinkle or two this morning.

Gusty winds will pick up late Tuesday night and be with us throughout the day Wednesday, associated with our next storm system. This system will bring a chance for scattered showers and storms. Any storm that can form could be strong to severe.

Thursday now looks drier and sunnier!

Another system moves in Friday with a slow-moving cold front. That front will bring more rain chances. Behind that system colder air filters in. We’re not through with frost yet!

Forecast Summary

The forecast is looking mostly sunny and dry for or Sunday. Still can’t rule out an isolated sprinkle, but it’s nothing to worry about.

On Monday, we’ll have a slightly better chance for an isolated shower or storm, especially along and north of a line from Livingston to Jamestown to Oneida.

Gusty winds will be with us throughout the 5-day, associated with more potent storm system that will move into the area Tuesday night and Wednesday. That system will bring better rain and storm chances to the plateau, with some of the storms possibly being on the strong to severe side.

A chance for some showers lingers into Thursday. Very mild weather continues through the 5-Day but cooler air will arrive in time for next weekend. We’re not finished with frost yet!
