Drier weather is expected today in the St. Lawrence Valley as high pressure moves in.

Temperatures under clearing skies will be a bit warmer than Friday, maxing out in the upper 70s to near 80, the National Weather Service says.

Lows tonight will be in the upper 40s to mid 50s with some scattered fog overnight, before temps rise again into the upper 70s to around 80 Sunday.

The NWS has dropped the flood watch they had posted for parts of the North Country due to heavy rains, but they say to expect rivers and streams still to be running high.

There is a 40 percent chance of showers Sunday night with lows around 60, and 50 percent Monday and Monday night with highs approaching 80 and lows in the mid 60s.
