Weather Forecast: Rain today ahead of a major heater
Oct 29, 2024
ROCHESTER, NY (WROC) - We are partly cloudy this morning and temperatures are starting in the 40s.
A warm front will approach from the west that brings rain in the afternoon. Temperatures get into the middle 60s here, already making it feel warmer than the calendar shows.
Overnight lows will run incredibly warm going into Wednesday. We'll start the day right around 60 degrees and that warm launching pad will allow us to surge into the upper 70s by the afternoon. It's breezy with gusts 20 to 30 mph. We will come close to the 78° record set in 1946. We don't expect any rain here, but there will be an approaching cold front from the west. Thankfully, the warm sector is large enough to carry us rain free into most of Halloween. The question we still need to answer is when the cold front arrives. It looks to be right around trick-or-treat time. The showers will last through the overnight, but should be gone by early Friday.
There will be some lingering clouds to start November, but skies will overall clear out nicely Friday afternoon. Deep high pressure shoves away any moisture Friday night and into Saturday, leading us into a sunny and chilly weekend. Overnight lows fall down into the 30s and highs remain in the 50s.
