NY weather where I came from and don't miss:
Here are the weather headlines:
•Snow and then a wintry mix arrives midday Saturday.
•Wind and rain Saturday night.
•50 degree weather Sunday morning.
•Cold and lake effect next week.
After a quiet start to the day Saturday, a new trouble will head our way from the southern and western U.S. this afternoon.
A storm system approaching from the Southern Plains will track into the Ohio Valley Saturday and then into the Great Lakes Sunday morning. Sunday afternoon and evening the storm will then move into Quebec Canada. This type of storm track will bring a wide variety of weather to Central New York this weekend.
The counterclockwise winds around this storm will draw milder, and moisture laden air our way Saturday and Saturday night. As temperatures rise, the precipitation will change its form.
Timing Saturday:
-Snow arrives 12-2pm
-Snow changes to an icy mix 6-9pm
-Icy mix changes to all rain by midnight, and all rain during the day Sunday
As the storm moves just west of us Sunday morning, the southerly winds will drive temperatures up through the 40s, to perhaps into the lower 50s. That will not last long, though.
As the storm makes its way into Canada Sunday, two cold fronts will move through here. The first front will arrive mid-day. That will allow cooler air to blow in on strong southwest winds. Some brief sunshine is possible mid-day before a second cold front arrives; an arctic cold front.
After the arctic front moves through, substantially colder air will blow in on Northwest winds. The temperature Sunday night will drop quickly.
The new arctic air will be with us for most of next week. Temperatures may moderate a little Tuesday but following that the cold will dig its heels in for the last half of the week.
More Lake Effect is likely next week. Some of it will be heavy.
84 degrees here right now!!!
