ROCHESTER, NY (WROC) -Lake effect rain has tapered off across the region this evening with cloud coverage in general slowly starting to melt away. That clearing will set us up for the coldest night of the young fall season. FROST ALERT: Frost Advisories are up for the entire region tonight as temperatures have no trouble spilling into the 30s. Those with tender plants will need to take action (for some of you, this will be the first frost of the season). South of the Thruway, a few drop below 32°. pic.twitter.com/DWGg6YqJvS— Eric Snitil (@EricSnitilWx) October 16, 2024 FROST ADVISORY: There is a frost advisory for the entire region tonight and into early Thursday. Make sure to take care of the sensitive plants that may be exposed. Skies clear out overnight into early Thursday and this will kick start our long dry stretch through most of the second half of October. High pressure is centered over Kentucky and warmer air will flow into Western New York. Expect highs into the mid and upper 50s Thursday afternoon. How about that 🌞 forecast? What a stretch over the next several days as we get into a gorgeous stretch across WNY & FLX. Perfect for fall activities and checking out the foliage. 🍂 pic.twitter.com/40WBbxiEtI— James Gilbert (@JamesGilbertWX) October 16, 2024 Humidity remains lows through Friday, allowing for temperatures to again fall back into the 30s. Friday does mark the first day above average with highs back into the 60s. Expect this trend to continue through the weekend with both Saturday and Sunday starting in the 40s and finishing well into the 60s. Whether you're from WNY or are looking to make a trip to see fall color at its finest, this should help! I'm strongly of the opinion this weekend is going to be as good as it gets for peak color synced up with absolutely beautiful weather. If you want to the best of the best,… pic.twitter.com/EewpCBBOXg— Eric Snitil (@EricSnitilWx) October 16, 2024 Long-range models are leaning toward a longer dry stretch that would extend into early next week. Temperatures will likely get into the 70s by Monday and Tuesday.
