Active Spring Like Pattern Across the Country

A frontal boundary will slowly move eastward and clear most of the eastern seaboard by Sunday. Showers and thunderstorms, some severe, will accompany this front alongside the threat of heavy rainfall; These threats may linger along the Gulf Coast states into early next week. Meanwhile, record spring-like warmth is forecast, mainly east of the Mississippi River, this weekend into next week. Read More >

After tonight's cold front passes with showers ending from west to east, a period of dry weather will begin. Sunday will be the cooler of the two weekend days, then late Spring-like temperatures for Monday and Tuesday. However, temperatures will be noticeably cooler near the lake shores. Later Tuesday night rain will arrive back into our region.
Rain and increased snowmelt will result in significant runoff and the potential for flooding this weekend through early next week, mainly east of Lake Ontario where significant snowpack remains across higher elevations. The threat for flooding is much lower across Western NY.
