Wednesday Midday, 5/13/2008


We will likely see some clouds moving into central New York by mid-to-late afternoon in advance of an approaching cold front. This front doesn't have ample moisture to work with, and it's looking like it will bring only a few showers as we go into Wednesday night.  With thick cloud cover over us tonight, temperatures will be slow to drop, making for a comfortable night with lows around 50.

The air moving in behind tonight's cold front isn't all that much colder.  Temperatures on Thursday will push up into the mid 60s, and we should see a decent amount of sunshine as drier air returns to the northeast.

After that, our attention turns to an area of low pressure tracking to our south for Friday. These types of systems have been tough to track this spring, but as we see it now there should be at least a few showers that make it into central New York. The steadier rain probably won’t be too far to our south.  It will also feel a bit cooler, with highs in the lower 60s.

We are keeping our eye on a change in our weather pattern that will be set off by the passage of Friday's storm.  It looks like this change could bring unseasonably cool weather as we go into the weekend, along with a good chance for clouds and showers.  If this weather pattern is "reinforced" by late weekend, the cool and damp weather would persist at least into the first part of next week.
