ITHACA, N.Y. — It’s a tale of two systems. A high pressure ridge early in the week will provide placid and warmer-than-normal conditions, while a lumbering storm system will bring plenty of (welcome) rain and perhaps a little hilltop snow for the second half, before finally clearing out late next weekend.
The daytime hours will be dry and less windy. Temperatures will be similar to yesterday, climbing into the upper 40s to mid 50s. Light rain showers will be possible over most of the region late tonight. Temperatures will fall into the 30s and 40s. #nywx#pawxpic.twitter.com/DXCcRbb6nX

Highs will be in the lower 50s, a notch above normal for this time of the year.
A few showers look possible overnight tonight as the frontal trough of the low passing to the north may reach far enough south to inject some instability across Upstate as the system heads eastward.
