Partly sunny today in St. Lawrence County, rain and snow Friday, forecasters predict

Posted

Today will start out with partly sunny skies and temperatures approaching the freezing mark but cloud cover will increase today as a weak system brings a strong chance of rain and snow Friday in the North Country, the National Weather Service predicts. Temperatures tonight will drop to around 20.

It will warm on Friday as precipitation builds in with a transition from snow to sleet to rain expected. Highs are expected to be around the 40 degree mark. The chance of precipitation is about at 80 percent. There could be some pockets of freezing rain mostly in the higher elevations. That system will quickly exit the region Friday night with lows in the mid-30s, NWS meteorologists say.

The outlook for Saturday and Sunday is for mostly cloudy skies with increasing chances of precipitation.

The NWS forecast for the St. Lawrence Valley and northwestern Adirondacks:

• Today: Partly sunny, with a high near 31. North wind around 6 mph.

• Tonight: Partly cloudy, with a low around 21. Northeast wind 3 to 6 mph.

• Friday: A slight chance of snow and sleet before 10am, then rain. High near 41. East wind 5 to 8 mph becoming south in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 80%. Little or no snow and sleet accumulation expected.
