Scattered showers and maybe a few thunderstorms will move through central New York early this evening, then most of the rain will move out for the overnight hours.  We have one more piece of energy wrapping around this main area of low pressure that will come through by midday Friday.  Unfortunately, this should develop some more showers on Friday morning and probably last through the middle part of the day.  The driest part of Friday will be in the evening with most of the rain falling apart.

Friday night will likely feature a few more showers as a weak system moves through around daybreak Saturday.  We still have rain in the forecast for Saturday morning, but it still looks like the afternoon will be fairly dry.  Best chance of dry weather will be toward evening and for the fireworks displays around the area.  Just take along the jacket because temperatures will be kind of cool.  Temperatures on Saturday will be in the low 70s so still below where they should be this time of year, factor in a breezy northwesterly wind and it will feel more like the 60s.

Sunday still looks like the driest day with sun and clouds.  We have left the chance of a thunderstorm in the forecast, but it now looks like if any rain develops it will be late in the day.  Temperatures will be a little warmer in the mid 70s and the winds should be a lighter. If you have plans to head out on the area lakes the next few days Sunday will probably be your best bet.
