Don’t expect spring-like warmth on the first official day of Spring in the Finger Lakes.
While a major storm system will stay to the south of the region — sparing us of more snowfall — temperatures will struggle to hit 30 degrees, after sinking into the low-teens overnight.
FLX Weather Meteorologist Drew Montreuil said on Tuesday that the region will stay chilly through the end of the week. Even as temperatures are expected to get into the mid-30s by Thursday — there isn’t any prominent warmup coming before the end of the weekend.
He even noted that the cooler-than-normal temperatures are expected through the start of April.
It means another 10 days, at least, of winter-like weather. Even as the calendar says ‘spring’ is here.
