A look ahead: light rain Sunday, then a warm week in Central New York

Rain showers will drift through Central New York Sunday afternoon but won’t stick around long. The National Weather Service expects a weak weather system to bring brief, scattered light rain and maybe a stray rumble of thunder. Most spots will see barely enough to wet the sidewalk before the showers fade by evening. After Sunday, the pattern stays mostly calm and pleasant. Highs climb into the low to mid-70s all week, while nights cool into the upper 40s and low 50s. That’s a bit cooler than typical for early June, but the dry stretch still feels comfortable. A few tiny showers could pop up Monday and Tuesday afternoons thanks to daytime heat, yet high pressure nearby should keep things mostly clear.Things start to feel more like summer later in the week. Temperatures rise into the low to mid-80s by Thursday and Friday across most of the region. Dry weather continues through Friday, but a weather front could bring the next round of showers late in the day. Forecasters aren’t sure exactly when or how much rain will fall. By next weekend, the sky turns more unsettled again. Rain chances go up Saturday and Sunday, especially during the warmer afternoons. Still, any storms that develop look typical for the season—not dramatic, just another chance for nature to water the lawns.
