Residents of Syracuse, N.Y., should prepare for another rainy Monday. After a wet Saturday and a clearer Sunday, a low‑pressure area with several troughs will move across the region early Monday, bringing rain that will linger thanks to added moisture from Lake Ontario.
Monday and Tuesday: Continued rain
The Monday forecast closely resembles Saturday’s pattern: steady rain throughout the day, with periods of heavier showers as the trough passes. Temperatures will stay in the low 30s, feeling chilly with the added dampness.
Tuesday’s weather will be similar to Sunday’s, offering a brief respite of milder, drier air. Expect partly sunny skies and slightly warmer temperatures, though still below average for this time of year.
Mid‑week break
By mid‑week, a small ridge of high pressure is expected to settle over the Central New York area. This ridge should bring drier, sunnier conditions and a modest rise in temperature, providing a welcome break from the rain. Residents can look forward to clearer skies and more comfortable outdoor conditions through Wednesday and Thursday.
Weekend uncertainty
The biggest question remains the weekend. Computer models are still at odds about a developing coastal low‑pressure system that could affect the region. Some models suggest a dry, sunny weekend, while others forecast colder air, rain, and even the possibility of wet snow with strong gusty winds. Temperatures could range from the mid‑30s to the upper 30s, depending on which model proves accurate.
Given the split in model solutions, forecasters advise keeping an eye on updates as the weekend approaches. Residents should be prepared for either a pleasant, dry weekend or a return to colder, wetter conditions with potential snowfall.
What to do now
Check the hourly forecast before heading out on Monday to plan travel and outdoor activities. Keep an umbrella handy, dress in layers, and stay informed about any sudden changes, especially if you have plans for the weekend.
