  • Overnight lows fall to the low to mid-50s, with patchy fog possible along the eastern Thruway as well as parts of the Finger Lakes and Southern Tier.
  • Sunshine is expected to persist through Thursday, including a warmer surge near 83 degrees on Thursday.
  • A late-week cold front is forecast to introduce rain and drop daytime highs to the low 70s by the first day of fall on Monday.
