August 24th, 2010 Forecast

It is finally time for things to dry out across Central New York. Syracuse received 4.21 inches of rain on Sunday, smashing the old daily record for August 22nd (1.50 inches). The showers are finally moving to the south into New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and they will be dealing with them for the next 24 to 36 hours.

Tonight: There is a 20 percent chance of an isolated shower in the evening. Otherwise, expect a damp night under plenty of clouds. Low temperatures will range from 54 to 60 degrees across Central New York. Winds will be out of the east-northeast at 5 to 15 mph. The sunset tonight is at 7:54 PM.

Tuesday: It should be a dry day for most, if not all, of us. Look for a mix of clouds and sun. It will be a bit warmer than the past couple of days with highs mainly in the lower to mid-70s. It may hold in the upper 60s across the Catskill Mountains due to some extra cloud cover and the higher elevation. There will be a slight breeze out of the east at 5 to 15 mph with gusts around 20 mph.

Wednesday: Hazy sun and more humid with a 20 percent chance of an isolated thunderstorm in the afternoon. High temperatures will warm up into the upper 70s for most.

Thursday: A mix of sun and clouds with a 20 percent chance of a brief shower. It will be breezy and cooler with a high near 73 degrees in immediate CNY.
