Stormy Start, Sunnier Midweek and Another Round of Showers Ahead

Canastota is in for an unsettled start, with showers and thunderstorms expected through tonight before drier weather works in Monday afternoon and Tuesday. The latest forecast calls for the highest rain chances tonight, followed by a brief sunny break and then another stretch of shower chances from Wednesday into Saturday.

Today’s weather stays mostly cloudy, with a high near 81. Showers and thunderstorms remain possible through the morning, become more likely early in the afternoon, then continue as scattered chances later in the day. Rain totals should stay light for most spots, generally under a tenth of an inch, but any thunderstorm could produce locally higher amounts.

Showers and thunderstorms keep the start of the forecast unsettled.

Showers and thunderstorms continue through tonight

The most active period of the forecast arrives tonight. Showers and thunderstorms are likely during the evening, with showers and possibly a thunderstorm continuing after midnight. The chance of precipitation rises to 90%, making tonight the wettest portion of the forecast period.

The low will settle near 65. Southeast winds will stay light, around 3 to 6 mph, so wind should not be the main weather factor for most of the night. The bigger concern is repeated rounds of rain and thunder.

New rainfall amounts tonight are expected to range from a quarter to a half inch. Higher totals can occur in thunderstorms, especially where heavier downpours pass over the same area.

Today’s south wind will run 6 to 8 mph, enough to keep the air moving but not especially strong. With clouds holding in place, temperatures should remain near seasonal summer levels rather than pushing much higher.

Travel may be slower at times during heavier showers. Drivers could run into brief reductions in visibility, wet pavement, and ponding in poor drainage spots. Outdoor plans will need flexibility, especially from early afternoon through tonight.

Wet roads may develop during heavier showers and storms.

Monday trends drier after a morning shower chance

Monday begins with a chance of showers before 11 a.m. The chance of precipitation is 40%, with new rainfall amounts between a tenth and a quarter inch possible.

Clouds should break slowly through the day. The forecast calls for cloudy conditions early, then a gradual turn toward mostly sunny skies. The high will be near 79.

A west wind at 3 to 8 mph will help bring in the drier air. That shift should make Monday afternoon feel more comfortable than the wet start to the day.

Monday night looks calmer. Skies turn partly cloudy, with a low around 60. A west wind near 5 mph will become calm during the evening.

That drying trend continues into Tuesday, which stands out as the best weather day in the current forecast. Tuesday will be sunny, with a high near 82 and light, variable wind. Tuesday night stays partly cloudy, with a low around 64.

Midweek brings warmer air and renewed shower chances

The break does not last long. By Wednesday, shower chances return as warmer air builds back into the region.

Wednesday will be partly sunny, with a high near 86. The chance of showers is 50%. Wednesday night stays mostly cloudy, with another 50% chance of showers and a low around 67.

Thursday follows a similar pattern. A chance of showers continues, with thunderstorms also possible after 2 p.m. The high will be near 85 under partly sunny skies. The chance of precipitation remains 50%.

Thursday night looks less active, though a chance of thunderstorms remains before 8 p.m. Skies turn partly cloudy, with a low near 67. The chance of precipitation drops to 30%.

This part of the forecast points to a more typical summer setup, with warm afternoons and scattered showers or storms. Rain will not fall everywhere all the time, but several periods could bring wet weather.

A brighter break is expected Monday afternoon and Tuesday.

Late week stays unsettled with more storms possible

The late-week forecast keeps shower and thunderstorm chances in place.

Friday will be partly sunny, with a high near 84. A chance of showers and thunderstorms continues, with precipitation chances around 50%. Friday night remains mostly cloudy, with a 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms and a low around 66.

Saturday brings another chance of showers and thunderstorms. Skies should be partly sunny, with a high near 85. The chance of precipitation is 40%.

At this range, the forecast shows a pattern rather than a single organized storm system. That means timing and coverage may change as the week gets closer. Some periods may stay dry, while others could bring locally heavier rain.

The recurring theme is simple: keep rain gear nearby after Tuesday, and watch the sky during the warmest parts of the day when thunderstorm chances can increase.
