SYRACUSE, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — This past weekend was brutal. But, we finally start to come out of the freezer Monday. Find out how quickly we warm to more seasonable levels below…
Sunday morning was tied for the coldest morning Syracuse has felt in 3 years. How cold did it get? Click here to see.
Arctic air is departing
The cold air that was with us this past weekend thankfully is in the process of leaving CNY. By no means is today mild, but it will feel quite mild this afternoon with temperatures warming into the mid to upper teens, or some 10 to 15 degrees warmer than the weekend was. We’ll also see some sunshine.
Snow chances return with milder air
A clipper racing just north of CNY will bring the milder, more seasonable air into the region with a bit of snow too on Tuesday after 6 or 7 am. There could be a quick coating to an inch for most, but upwards of 2 or 3 inches is possible across the Tug Hill and North Country. Overall, though, nothing too significant is expected.
By midday/afternoon the snow showers may end as a little rain or a mix too, especially for areas along and south of the Thruway as temperatures rise into the mid 30s.
Behind a Tuesday evening cold front, we’ll see the air turn a bit colder mid to late week which is expected to produce at least a few inches lake effect snow for many Wednesday into Thursday.
