Clear skies and moderate temperatures spell great outdoor weekend for St. Lawrence County

Posted

The weather forecast looks quite favorable for outdoor activity in the North Country this weekend, according to the National Weather Service.

Clear skies, moderate winds, highs in the 70s and lows in the 40s will prevail on Saturday and Sunday in the St. Lawrence Valley, before some clouds move in Sunday night and the chance of rain increases on Monday and Tuesday, the NWS predicts.

They do say there is a slight chance of a shower or two over the mountains this afternoon, but they won't last long if they materialize at all. And due to the elevation in the mountains and clear skies, the low temps tonight and Saturday night could drop into the 30s there.

With the clouds early next week, daytime high temperatures will likely return to the 80s.
