First Alert Weather: Tracking fair weather for Veterans Day, then a late week mix Stacey Pensgen News10NBC ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Our fair weather continues for another day into Wednesday. Veteran’s Day will start off with a fair amount of sunshine. Clouds will begin to thicken up during the afternoon and evening ahead of our next wave of low pressure. The majority of Wednesday will be dry and seasonable, but a few showers may sneak in by late evening after 9-10PM. Showers become a steadier rain Wednesday night into Thursday morning. This is the system that will likely produce our first flakes of the season in Rochester, but most of the area won’t see any accumulation. With it being an early season storm, it’ll be very elevation-dependent. Most of the Rochester region north of the Thruway will see plain rain and rain showers through Thursday. But, as cooler air begins to work in, the hilltops and highest elevations of the Finger Lakes will likely see the rain mixing with and eventually changing over to some wet snow Thursday night into Friday morning. The highest elevations may see a couple inches of a heavy, wet snow before the majority of the precipitation moves away during the day Friday. So at this point, the only accumulating snow we expect is in the higher terrain south of Rochester. Meanwhile, Rochester will likely record our first flakes (but not measurable). We’ll see more in the way of scattered lake enhanced rain and snow showers on Friday as the main area of low pressure moves away, but we get some influence from the Great Lakes. Again, flakes will likely fly, but no accumulation is expected near Rochester. Lake flakes continue to fly into Saturday morning with no accumulation expected. But it’ll be a chilly weekend, with highs both Saturday and Sunday near 40 degrees. Next week shows a moderating trend with milder air and some sun returning.
