ROCHESTER, N.Y. – The weather in Rochester is expected to be predominantly cloudy and chilly this Monday, with gusty winds and a few light flurries. As the week progresses, Tuesday will see more cloud cover with the possibility of a stray shower late in the day. A more active weather system is anticipated to arrive midweek.
On Wednesday, temperatures will hover around 40 degrees, bringing initial rain showers before colder air settles in overnight. While the Threat Tracker indicates green conditions through Wednesday, it may require updates for Thursday due to the expected weather changes. As arctic air moves into the area, temperatures will plummet into the teens and low 20s by Thursday, with snowfall likely. This snowfall is projected to be a mix of light snow across the region and potentially heavier bands due to the influence of Lake Ontario, resulting in a few inches of accumulation in certain areas.
Friday will continue the trend of frigid temperatures accompanied by occasional snow showers. Furthermore, another arctic front is expected to bring widespread snow and lake-effect flurries on Saturday, setting the stage for a bitterly cold pattern to persist into next week. Residents are advised to stay informed with ongoing updates from News10 regarding the evolving weather conditions later in the week.
