Temperatures to tumble Wednesday
SYRACUSE, NY (WSYR-TV) – Still feels like spring, but not for much longer.
At a glance:
- Balmy tonight with temperatures 50s much of the night
- Steadier rain this evening gives way to scattered showers during the night
- Winter chill returns Wednesday with a little snow shower activity developing
- Watching for a more significant snow by Friday
The warmth and rainfall will again bring the potential for ice jams and minor flooding tonight through Wednesday. The flooding threat is mainly northeast of Syracuse where the snowmelt ends up greater and the rain heavier.
OVERNIGHT:
It stays breezy and mild tonight with any steadier rain this evening tapering to scattered showers during the evening. Lows drop in the mid to upper 40s, but much of the night will be in the 50s for many.
WEDNESDAY:
Don’t be fooled by the mild start to Wednesday, because after starting in the 40s to near 50 around daybreak temperatures free fall back through the 40s and into the 30s and possibly upper 20s by sunset. A gusty west-northwest wind also picks up, producing wind chills in the teens and low 20s during the afternoon!
Our advice to all heading to work early in the morning is to make sure you bring your winter jacket/coat because you’ll certainly need it by the time you come home later Wednesday!
Any scattered rain showers to start Wednesday likely change to snow showers by Wednesday afternoon with maybe a coating to an inch in spots by day’s end.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT:
Evening snow flurries taper with some clearing later Wednesday night. Lows drop to within a few degrees of 10.
THURSDAY:
High pressure to the north provides a dry, but chilly Thursday with some sun. Highs struggle to get out of the 20s.
LATE WEEK:
We are still watching a moisture laden storm that could very well deposit several inches of snow and possibly a wintry mix, especially south of Syracuse, depending on the storm track late Thursday night into Friday.
