The next few days will be more characteristic of early May than the last couple of days of June as a cold front will clear away all of the moisture out there later tonight with a return to a cool and dry air mass in its wake. An upper level low, will head south bringing down very cool air for this time of the year for Wednesday… This better not turn into summer 2009 again…

Any ongoing scattered showers and a few heavy downpours will come to an late Monday night into Tuesday morning. A weak area of high pressure will give us a blend of sun and clouds for Tuesday. Clouds and showers return for Wednesday.

Tuesday
On Tuesday, we can expect a few fair weather cumulus clouds, especially from late morning to late afternoon. May see an early morning sprinkle, but nothing that will slow anyone down. Much cooler, with a high only around 70.

Wednesday
The upper level low I spoke of above will dominate our weather for Wednesday. Cold air aloft will keep skies gray with passing showers. Some locations Tuesday morning, especially south of the Thruway, may see morning lows in the low 40s, low 50s closer to home.

Now, I was reading through the forecast discussion put out by the National Weather service and am baffled they have the word “graupel” in their discussion. I don’t think it will be that cold as seeing graupel in the final days of June is unheard of.

As for those afternoon highs, I honestly think the low 60s are the best we’re going to do, especially if those clouds are staying thick.

Thursday
Some improvement for Thursday as the upper level low will pull northeast as far enough away from us to bring a return to more breaks of sun and an end to any showers. Despite the sunshine, I don’t think we’ll even hit 70. Mid to upper 60s.
