Your Weather Planner<\/p>\n

After a quiet start to the night, look for scattered snow showers to move in during the predawn hours, especially north of the Thruway. The morning started with temperatures in the upper 20s to mid-30s. While we are unseasonably chilly with snow showers through midday, we should start to clear out with a brisk breeze this afternoon and highs only in the 30s and 40s. Skies clear tonight and temperatures plunge into tomorrow morning. After a cold start tomorrow, we turn seasonable under sunny skies and lighter breezes.<\/p>\n
