OUR STREAK OF SUN ENDS WITH RAIN
Written by: Brian Neudorff
It truly was nice was while it lasted. In fact with the sunshine, Saturday warmed up to 40 degrees. Our weather will remain quiet through Sunday morning, but our days of nice quiet weather come to an end.
A storm system will develop and move out of the lower Mississippi Valley and move northeast into the northern Great Lakes by Monday. This will allow for more moisture to build into Western New York as we go through the day Sunday. Winds will begin to increase and come out of the south-southeast. Temperatures will easily warm into the upper 40s and some place could even reach 50. Clouds will also increase and rain should spread across western New York starting in the east by late morning to midday then into the Rochester area by early to mid afternoon. We should see some pretty good soaking Sunday night into Monday morning. Most places will get a half to three-quarters of an inch of rain. There could be a few place that see an inch or more. Most of those locations will be east and northeast of Rochester.
Although there has been some melting of snowpack across the region over the last week and especially the last few days, it doesn't look like flooding will be a concern. Most of the flood advisories and watches have been posted for the northern and eastern parts of New York.
Any updates on snowfall for next week?
ReplyDeleteAs far as amounts and who will see how much, no there is no new updates. It is way to early to determine that. There will be snow as temperatures get colder by Tuesday through most of next week
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting to compare forecasts--8, 13 and NWS are reasonably the same for the upcoming week and cold spell--all seem to say mid 20's with "snow showers". 10 as usual is predicting Armageddon--their high temps are 5- 10 below everyone else and they already are using the term "blowing snow" for Friday. Those guys must have a major buy in with local food stores. I used to flip around to all 3 weathercasts in the winter, now I don't even bother with 10. If I listened to them I'd be living in a bunker.
ReplyDeleteNo storms at all this week. Only boring lake effect. The NWS is saying the winds will be West and the SW leaving Rochester high and dry. It is almost February and still no synoptic storm has hit Rochester. It seems unbelievable.
