Forecast: No major threat of rain expected all week with seasonal summer weather in 70s and 80s likely across St. Lawrence County

Posted

Weak high pressure will exist across the North Country today with no precipitation expected, however, a southwest flow aloft will spread clouds into the region throughout the day and keep high temperatures in the mid 70s to lower 80s, according to the National Weather Service (NWS).

Highs today are expected to be around 81 with southwest winds of 6 to 8 miles per hour. The overnight low will be around 62 with light winds.

Eventually deeper moisture will move into the region tonight and especially on Tuesday as a trough of low pressure drops down from Canada, the service says. These features will increase the chances for precipitation later tonight and especially on Tuesday.

The high Tuesday will also be around 81 with an overnight low around 60, NWS says.

The trough of low pressure moves east of the region on Wednesday and a drier northwest flow pattern will develop for dry weather and cooler temperatures with highs in the 70s, NWS says.

The forecast through next weekend is as follows:
