Central New York Stays Mostly Dry Near 74F for Father's Day as Summer Starts Cool

3 articles · Updated · CNYcentral.com · Jun 21

Summary

  • Father's Day in central New York is forecast to be mostly quiet, dry and comfortable, with the summer season officially beginning at 4:24 a.m. Sunday.
  • 74 degrees was Saturday's official high at Syracuse airport, and Sunday is expected to feel similarly mild rather than summerlike as weak low-pressure systems and upper-level troughs pass nearby.
  • Monday is the main wet day in the near-term forecast, with a decent round of rain expected and lawn-mowing conditions looking poorest then.
  • Tuesday, Wednesday and early Thursday should turn nicer again before hotter, more humid air returns later next week with renewed chances for thunderstorms, including a few strong or severe storms.
