Your Local Forecast - May 23, 2013

Another round of thundershowers tonight, with fog late. I don't think any will be severe this time around. A cold front will temporarily shut off rain overnight into midday Friday, but unfortunately, a new storm will form on the front as it hits the coast, and the storm will cause rain to back up back inland Friday night and Saturday. The question becomes, how far west will the clouds and rain build back? I think the rain line is (north to south) Herkimer County and the clouds will extend further west of course, to about Syracuse, Saturday. Sunday, the line for both will shift only slightly east, so mostly grey here...but by night fall, should clear out completely. But unfortunately, if that pans out, the weekend Is far less desirable.
