After Warm Days in the 80’s, Snow is Coming Back to Central New York
Hope you enjoyed the sun while we had it, you'll soon be pulling your boots and coats back out of the closet.
New Yorkers statewide enjoyed a hot week of beautiful weather following Easter, which was perfect for teachers and students on Spring Break. Though we can all agree we wish that sun would stick around a little bit longer, it was certainly too good to be true.
In true Upstate New York fashion, the cold weather is coming back.
Rain & Snow Mix
Tuesday night is going to be a cold one. According to the National Weather Service, temperatures be dropping down into the lower 30's. Combine that with a chance for precipitation, and you got a wet mix of rain and snow in the forecast.
NWS is currently calling for a 40% chance of rain before midnight, switching to 30% rain and snow after midnight. Not only that, but that cold/wet combo will last until 10:00am Wednesday morning.
