144 AM EST Wed Dec 17 2025 SYNOPSIS... We can expect milder temperatures the next couple of days as progressively warmer air overspreads our region on the backside of departing high pressure...with most areas seeing readings climbing into the mid to upper 30s Wednesday, and then well into the 40s Thursday. A weak cold front passing through the region Wednesday will yield a few light rain or snow showers, especially east of Lake Ontario. It will also become windy within this warming airmass, with gusty winds this morning...followed by a period of stronger gusts Thursday night through Friday. Area Forecast Discussion
