First Alert Weather: Tracking showers Sunday night through Monday morning with some possible snow late-week Victoria McIlvain News10NBC ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Mostly cloudy skies will lead us into the latter part of Sunday evening with scattered showers through the overnight hours. These showers may become more numerous after midnight as a clipper passes to our north. Overnight lows should stay in the low to mid 40s across Western New York due to persistent cloud cover and scattered showers. Winds will stay breezy out of the west/northwest between 10 to 20 mph with some gusts still reaching between 25 to 35 mph overnight and into Monday morning. Monday’s high temperatures will stay cool and seasonable, in the upper 40s and low 50s across the region. As the clipper pulls off the northeast coast, breezy conditions will continue with northwest winds between 15 to 25 mph and some gusts up to 35 mph across Western New York. Most showers should dissipate after the morning commute and before lunch hour with only spotty lake sprinkles and cloudy skies through the remainder of the day and overnight Monday. Monday night’s lows drop into the low 40s and upper 30s for higher elevations. Winds start to come down through the evening and overnight, staying out of the west/southwest between 5 to 10 mph. Low and mid-level wind maximums continue to bring breezy conditions through Tuesday. Winds will generally be out of the west/southwest between 15 and 25 mph with gusts up to 35 mph during the day. These winds, once again, should decrease through the evening and overnight hours of Tuesday into Wednesday morning. A slight warming trend continues through Tuesday and Wednesday with mostly dry weather. High temperatures on Tuesday are expected to push 60 with Wednesday’s high temperatures hanging out in the mid 50s. Though mostly dry weather is expected, there is a small chance for some lake showers east of Rochester as another clipper passes to our north. However, most showers should stay toward Oswego County and the Tug Hill/Adirondack region. We are still keeping an eye on a late-week system that will start to pass to our south on Wednesday. Wednesday should stay mainly dry; however, rain chances start to increase Wednesday night and into Thursday morning. This system still needs to take shape in the western United States and has quite a way to travel over to the eastern seaboard. That being said, there is still quite a bit of uncertainty with this forecast. However, looking at data trends can show us the general evolution of this anticipated low-pressure system. Right now, it looks like most of Thursday’s precipitation will fall mainly as rain showers as temperatures are still expected to be in the mid 40s for a majority of the region. Thursday night is when some wet snowflakes could start to work their way into the higher elevations of Western New York (Southern Tier, southern Finger Lakes). Friday’s precipitation is all going to depend on how cold the mid and low-level portions of the dominating air mass will be. Generally, we are looking at a rain and wet snow mix. Accumulations for the Rochester area are not looking too likely. Higher elevations could pick up on some very minor accumulations Friday through Saturday. We are also watching how fast this system is trending. Some data runs show it getting out of the northeast early Saturday, while others are showing it lingering. A lingering system could bring us a few more lake snow showers Saturday morning through midday as temperatures are expected to support frozen precipitation across Western New York. This is (very much so) a developing storm system, so stay tuned for the latest updates every morning and evening!
