Forecasts For The Black River

Weather Outlook - This Week

Coming Soon: Pattern Change

Continued snowmelt combined with additional rainfall will bring about the possibility of flooding on the Black, Moose, Independence, and Beaver Rivers as well as other tributaries.

Continued snowmelt combined with additional rainfall is expected to cause the Black River at Watertown to reach minor flood stage later this week, with additional rises possible through the end of the week.

Well above average temperatures continue through midweek. Rain showers move in today through Wednesday with a few thunderstorms possible before a strong cold front plows across the region late Wednesday into Wednesday evening ushering in a period of near to below normal temperatures for the Thursday through Saturday time period. Periodic chances for rain and snow linger through this weekend.

A pattern change is expected later this week with noticeably colder air for the second half of the week, with below normal temperatures favored through at least mid to late March. There may be some easement to the cold air late in the month and into the beginning days of April.
