Low pressure tracking eastward across the region this morning will push a cold front through the North Country this afternoon with scattered showers developing from mid-day through this evening, according to the National Weather Service (NWS).

Highs today are expected to be near 47 with a 70 percent chance of showers and winds of 5 to 7 mph.

Behind the front, some scattered snow showers are expected tonight into Wednesday, with drier conditions on Thursday as a ridge of high pressure builds over the region, NWS says.

Overnight lows should be around 29 with a 20 percent chance of precipitation.
