Damp Memorial Day weekend forecast in the FLX

Periods of rain are expected late this week and during the Memorial Day weekend, but there will be dry times, too.

A large area of rain is moving through the Finger Lakes early Thursday morning. The heaviest of this rain is over the western portions of the Finger Lakes, but more areas will see at least a half-inch of rain by the afternoon.

During the early afternoon hours, the steady rain will begin to taper off from south to north. Most of the rain should be over by 2 or 3 pm. A few more isolated showers will be possible after that time, but most of the late afternoon and evening should be dry.

A few isolated showers will be possible overnight and into Friday morning. Once the atmosphere warms a bit Friday, the showers will become a bit more common during the afternoon and evening hours. Still, the rain will remain scattered and rain amounts will be light.
