JAMESTOWN – The temperatures have been on the rise since midnight; changing some of the light snow showers we had last night and early this morning to just plain rain showers.
After a cloudy break, a rain/snow mix is possible, as temps begin to fall through the afternoon, before changing back to all snow tonight, in advance of another cold front. The front will drag shapely colder air across Western New York, once again, with single-digit lows, and sub-zero wind chills through Friday.
Even though a brief turnaround looks to be in the cards for the weekend, it becomes colder yet again going into the next week.
