A weak occluded front will bring increased cloud cover and chances for rain to portions of Northern New York this afternoon, according to the National Weather Service (NWS). However, most locations are expected to remain dry with cooler temperatures as a backdoor cold front approaches from the northeast.

Showers are likely to begin after 5 p.m. in parts of the county with a high near 71, NWS says. An overnight low of 46 is expected.

Scattered showers will remain possible through Tuesday but it appears we are in for another quiet week of weather with high pressure once again building back across the region.

Temperatures won`t be quite as warm this week as they were last week, with high

temperatures each afternoon in the upper 50s to lower 60s.
