High pressure overhead will keep the area dry through the daytime hours today with some light snowfall possible tonight lasting through Wednesday afternoon in St. Lawrence County, according to the National Weather Service (NWS).

Following this system, a return to more zonal flow will keep temperatures near seasonal norms, NWS says.

Highs today will be near 17 with sunny skies and wind chill values as low as -27 degrees, forecasters say.

The overnight low will be around 8 with wind chill values of -2, NWS says.

There is a 60 percent chance of snow Tuesday with a high around 25, the service says. Total accumulation will be less than an inch.

A few weak upper level disturbances could bring some light showers to the North Country through the early weekend.
