Weather Forecast: Quiet Sunday ahead of increasing precip chances
Nov 16, 2024
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — Clouds will start to move back into the area Sunday morning and will dominate our skies for the rest of the day. While it will be mostly cloudy throughout the day, we will remain dry. Temperatures are expected to climb back up into the mid 50s, making for a pretty comfortable day if you plan on heading out the the Bills game. Clouds stick around throughout the remainder of the evening and through the overnight hours, allowing for temperatures to stay on the warmer side.
The excitement of the Bills and Chiefs will not be overlooked because of the weather! Generally mild and quiet conditions (aside from maybe a passing shower) is expected for game day. pic.twitter.com/1vDT0BCOfZ— Leanne Byer (@LeanneByerwx1) November 15, 2024
A cold front is expected to sweep through the area early Monday morning, bringing us scattered rain showers. After the band of rain moves through the area, clouds will start to clearing throughout the morning. Temperatures are expected to climb into the low to mid 50s. This dry weather will continue into Tuesday as well, just with cooler high temperatures.
8-Day Forecast
While the first half of the week looks to remain on the quieter side, the second half of the week will not. We are becoming increasingly confident in a sharp pattern change that will bring colder air (both at the surface level and aloft) to Western NY. Wednesday afternoon into Thursday, scattered rain showers will impact the area. It's Thursday evening into Friday and the weekend that we are keeping a close eye on.
UPDATE: The train is still on the track for a sharp pattern shift by this time next week. This will allow colder air to spill across much of the eastern United States, including parts of the Deep South. Model ensembles are also hinting at the potential for accumulating snow,… pic.twitter.com/s4QP6dJ4Jf— Eric Snitil (@EricSnitilWx) November 15, 2024
Rochester has the potential to see its first flakes of the season Friday and into the weekend. Rain could mix with some snow across the region with the chance of some accumulation, likely limited to those higher elevations downwind of the lakes. While this could be some exciting news for some, we are still way too far out to know exact details, but it does appear on a broad scale setup supports flakes mixing in with rain.
