Our short spring tease will come to an end today with one last day of mild temperatures in the low to mid 50’s. Low pressure will ride northward along a slow moving cold front into this afternoon, bringing periods of rain (heavy at times) and gusty winds to the Spa City.
Behind the cold front, cooler weather will return for the mid to late week period and continue into the upcoming St. Patrick’s Day weekend with a few bouts of the white stuff possible.
