Sunny but cool Maple Weekend in St. Lawrence County

Posted

People in St. Lawrence County will enjoy sunshine and above-freezing temperatures Saturday and Sunday, with clear skies and cold temperatures overnight before clouds and a chance of snow move in Monday, according to the National Weather Service.

Winds this morning from the northeast will become light and variable Sunday night.

The NWS says temperatures about 10 degrees below normal – in the 30s today and tomorrow and in the teens at night – will continue through Monday. That range of temperatures could be right for moving maple sap in time for demonstrations at local maple producers' sugarhouses during Maple Weekend today and tomorrow.

On Monday, temperatures are expected to rise to near 40 under cloudy skies. The chance of snow is put at 30 percent, but meteorologists predict there will be little to no accumulation.
