Soggy Weather System Brings Rain, Minor Flood Risk, and Cooler Temperatures to Central New York
A slow-moving weather system is set to bring several days of rain, storms, and cooler temperatures to Central New York (CNY). The system, arriving late Monday night, will stall over the Northeast due to two areas of high pressure on either side, causing it to remain stationary. Initial conditions on Monday evening were partly sunny with temperatures in the 80s°F (26-29°C), but rain and storms are expected to begin before sunrise on Tuesday. Daytime highs will drop to 77°F (25°C) in Syracuse and the low-to-mid 70s°F (21-24°C) in surrounding areas. The system is expected to persist through Wednesday, with significant rainfall and cloudy skies dominating the region.
