Your Weather Planner

The warm and rainy stretch will continue into Wednesday.

We could start the day with rain and a few thunderstorms again. Morning temperatures will be in the middle to upper 50s.

By the afternoon, temperatures will be around 20 to 25 degrees warmer than normal for mid-April.

Afternoon highs will reach the middle to upper 70s around Syracuse and across the Southern Tier. Temperatures in the North Country will reach the 60s.

It will not be raining all day, but like the past few we could start the day with rain followed by some peeks of sunshine through the afternoon hours.

Rain chances will then continue into Thursday. Friday will feature the lowest rain chances with a good amount of dry time into Saturday.

But, by Saturday evening into Sunday we will see a front work through, and this will bring another chance for showers over the weekend.

Temperatures will be in the 50s for most mornings with highs in the 70s through Saturday.
