226 AM EDT Sun Oct 19 2025 SYNOPSIS... Well above average temperatures will persist through the rest of the weekend as a ridge of high pressure drifts off the east coast. Strengthening low pressure will then move through the central Great Lakes Sunday, with its cold front sweeping east across our area Sunday night. Most of Sunday will be dry and windy, with rain developing from west to east late Sunday afternoon through Sunday night. Rain will continue east of Lake Ontario Monday as another low pressure system develops over eastern New York, while rain ends later in the day across Western NY. More unsettled weather will arrive by the middle of next week as low pressure crosses the Great Lakes with showers, much cooler temperatures, and blustery conditions. Area Forecast Discussion
