Several rounds of rain Saturday

SYRACUSE, NY (WSYR-TV) – Several waves of rain to move through Central New York Saturday.

Keep in mind that the showers and storms won’t be limited to just the afternoon or evening. Expect multiple rounds of rain showers and embedded thunderstorms.

Any of these thunderstorms could even be on the strong/severe side with gusty, damaging winds and hail by late afternoon. And with all the moisture around there will be some heavy downpours which brings the possibility of localized flash flooding into the picture.

So be sure to be prepared to have backup indoor plans Saturday and or rain gear if you are taking part in outdoor activities on Saturday.

Sunday looking a bit better…

A cold front comes through late Saturday night/Sunday morning, but showers linger into Sunday morning before we see longer stretches of dry weather midday into the afternoon. We get the bonus of some sunshine, too, which should help us get into the low 80s before the day is done.

By Sunday evening, a weak trough of low pressure is ready to swing through with a few more showers but is departing by Monday morning.  High pressure builds in to start the week with sunshine and seasonably mild temperatures.
